Description

The DX4000 Series digital video recorder (DVR) is an entry-level, professional digital video recorder that not only replaces the traditional VCR and multiplexer combination but also offers the beneﬁts derived from the latest in digital video processing.

Designed to work with today's broadband networks, the DX4000 uses MPEG-4 compression, allowing the user the ability to view and control the DVR across a wide area network. Additionally, the smaller ﬁle size produced by the MPEG-4 compression standard, allows for longer storage times compared with traditional DVR technology.

With the ability to record at resolutions up to 704 x 480, the DX4000 Series DVR captures crystal clear pictures, creating effective footage for later use and retrieval. With the ability to record up to 120 images per second in CIF resolution (352 x 240 NTSC, 352 x 288 PAL), users can also record full-motion video if desired. Individual adjustments are possible on a per-input basis to optimize the DX4000 to meet a given installation’s requirements for length of video retention. Video critical for investigation and archiving can be easily exported to a USB ﬂash memory device or an optional CD-RW.

With the ability to address and control pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) equipment, such as the Spectra® domes and Esprit® positioning systems, the DX4000 becomes a powerful control point for the surveillance requirements of an installation. In addition, with the ability to trigger recording and alarms on motion or external contacts, the DX4000 series becomes an automated monitoring and notiﬁcation engine as well.

The DX4000 video outputs provide for efﬁcient control and effective deterrence. The choice of VGA, S-Video, or composite main monitor outputs provides ﬂexibility for the user. The main monitor output can be adjusted to display in full screen or quad format. The DX4000's spot monitor can be used for public view applications, providing an effective deterrent to would-be criminals.

Finally, the DX4000 is designed to deliver robust and reliable performance for security professionals. From the ability to capture log entries detailing any faults or user-initiated changes to the system, to the inclusion of Pelco's world renowned customer service promise, the DX4000 embodies the ideal entry-level digital video recorder to protect assets and people.

Remote Control Layout

The diagram below describes the buttons on the remote control that operate the DX4000. Each button has a corresponding function on the front panel of the unit. The remote control is operable only when the remote control sensor on the DX4000 is enabled. If several DX4000 units are located close together, the remote control might operate more than one unit. Care should be taken to locate similar devices away from each other. Buttons that are not usable are not described.

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, turn off the unit and unplug it while connecting devices to the DX4000. Adequate ventilation is

required for proper operation of the DX4000. Allow two inches of space above the unit and on each side for air circulation.

1. Connect up to four cameras at the video inputs. Refer to Table A for video coaxial cable distances. The DX4000 features automatic

termination of video if no loop out cables are attached. Remove all unused cables from the video output ports.

2. If desired, connect analog monitors to the video outputs (looping). Refer to Table A for video coaxial cable distances. You must terminate all

monitors. If you connect a single monitor to an output, terminate the monitor at 75 ohms. If you connect more than one monitor to an output, terminate the farthest monitor at 75 ohms, and terminate the others at Hi-Z. Remove all unused cables.

3. If desired, connect an analog monitor to the main monitor output. Refer to Table A for video coaxial cable distances. If you connect more

than one monitor to an output, terminate the farthest monitor at 75 ohms, and terminate the others at Hi-Z.

4. If desired, connect a spot monitor to the DX4000. Refer to Table A for video coaxial cable distances. If you connect more than one monitor

to an output, terminate the farthest monitor at 75 ohms, and terminate the others at Hi-Z. Note that you can view live video from a spot monitor. To search for and play back video or to conﬁgure the DX4000, you must be working at the unit and main monitor or at a remote computer.

Table A. Video Coaxial Cable Requirements

Cable Type* Maximum Distance

RG59/U 750 ft (229 m)

RG6/U 1,000 ft (305 m)

RG11/U 1,500 ft (457 m)

*Cable requirements:

75 ohms impedance All-copper center conductor All-copper braided shield with 95% braid coverage

5. Select the video stream type for the cameras. Choices are NTSC or PAL.

WARNING: Changing the video stream type from NTSC to PAL reformats the hard disk. Do not change video stream types until any recorded video has been backed up to CD or a removable USB ﬂash memory device.
