2. For TIME/DATE programming, please refer to the information provided in the QUICK SETUP section of this

manual. Programming this parameter is identical for both ADVANCED SETUP and QUICK SETUP.

3. For AUTOSET programming, please refer to the information provided in the QUICK SETUP section of this

manual. Programming this parameter is identical for both ADVANCED SETUP and QUICK SETUP.

4. The LTC 2600 Series multiplexers are configured to record and playback from a wide range of VCRs.The VCR provides a pulse (VEXT) each time a video field is recorded to tape.This signal lets the multiplexer know that it can switch to a new camera.This feature also simplifies installation by synchronizing the normal and alarm recording speeds.You will need to decide how you are going to synchronize the multiplexer and the VCR. Either accomplish the following steps for synchronization using the VEXT input (recommended), or perform the alternate method (programming the VCR model and corresponding time-lapse speed).

NOTE: VCR SETUP is an involved programming sequence with many options. Please read through the information in this section carefully to understand all the options available.

Synchronizing the VCR using the VEXT Signal

If provided by the VCR, use of a VEXT signal is the preferred method of synchronizing the Multiplexer and the VCR. The VEXT pulse is a signal provided by the VCR that causes the Multiplexer to sequence to the next camera. It is highly recommended to use this method if supported by the VCR as it will ensure optimal update rate and performance of the Multiplexer. Select VCR SETUP (menu shown below).

• Connect and enable the VEXT output from the VCR, then choose the recording speed of the VCR.

• Connect the VEXT output from the VCR (CAM SW Out or Record Out) to Pin 21 and Ground to Pin 25 of the Alarm In/Out.

•From the VCR SETUP menu, select the RECORD SETUP option.

•From the RECORD SETUP menu, select VEXT INPUT. Switch it to the ON setting (the factory default is OFF). Using this feature will bypass the time-lapse setting in the multiplexer VCR selection menu (i.e. programming SELECT VCR and TIMELAPSE are not required.)

5.7 System4 Advanced Setup: Log

The LOG option allows the operator to view a history of action, recording, and alarm activity. Up to 300 events are retained in the log. The AUTOPRINT command will automatically print log events, therefore providing a larger event history. When the log is full, the oldest events are overwritten.

The LOG option includes:

• View Log:View the list of logged events.

• Log Setup: Select which events are recorded to the log—these can be alarm, action, event, and video loss.

5.8 System4 Advanced Setup: Password

In System4 multiplexers, access to the multiplexer setup menus can be password protected to prevent unauthorized entry. If the first number of the password is between 5 and 9, the Quick Edit Key operation will be disabled (see Appendix E for more information on the Quick Function keys).

5.9 System4 Advanced Setup: Expand System Setup

The EXPAND SYSTEM SETUP feature provides the ability to program the system for operation with numerous interconnected multiplexers. Expanded camera identification is also provided, as well as automatic time synchronization which is necessary for the proper operation of an expanded multiplexer system.

NUMBER MUX:To ensure proper operation with multiple multiplexers, the following steps are recommended:

• Use the LTC 2609/00 black cable kit when making a connection between multiplexers.

•Program the Mux ID for each multiplexer from the front panel only. To properly control multiple multiplexers from a system keyboard, a unique number from 1 to 30 must be assigned to each multiplexer. This number is then used to select the multiplexer from any system keyboard.

NOTE: In installations requiring multiple video multiplexers, the LTC 2601 and LTC 2602 system keyboards can control up to 30 interconnected System4 multiplexers. See Appendix B for illustrations of these special system configurations.

CAMERA RENUMBER:To provide unique identification of cameras in a large installation, camera numbering can be redesignated up to 999. Regardless of camera renumbering, cameras are selected using camera numbers 1 to 16 via the front panel or system keyboard. Selected monitors will show the redesignated camera number.

TIME SYNCHRONIZATION: Expanded systems may require internal clock synchronization providing identical time information across each of the interconnected System4 multiplexers. For this purpose,TIME SYNC NOW must be enabled.The multiplexer will send a broadcast command to synchronize the clock every day.

5.10 System4 Advanced Setup: Remote System4 Setup

When using the System4 multiplexer with a System4 Server for digital recording and network access, this setup parameter is used. Select YES only if used with the System4 Server. Default is NO.

LTC 2600 Series Section 6 Operation

SECTION 6: OPERATING THE LTC 2600 SERIES

VIDEO MULTIPLEXER

Operating the LTC 2600 Series Video Multiplexer requires a general knowledge of basic and combined operating modes as described in this section. Basic operating modes are LIVE (Display), RECORD, and PLAYBACK.

Duplex multiplexer models provide combinations of the basic modes (e.g. simultaneous recording plus playback when two VCRs are used). When operating access is a concern, the multiplexer’s security lockout feature can be enabled. Three levels of access are provided as described at the end of this section.

6.1 Live Display Mode

Live camera pictures can be displayed on monitors A and B.

• Monitor A is the main functional monitor and can be displayed in FULL, QUAD, or MULTI. Alarm, action, and

video loss warnings are displayed on this monitor.

• Monitor B will display the selected camera in full screen or sequencing under normal operating (recording)

modes. When an alarm or action input is detected, the corresponding camera picture with the flashing Alarm/Action indicator will be displayed on Monitor B for the programmed dwell time. When multiple alarms or actions occur, camera pictures will be sequenced on Monitor B at the two-second dwell time.

• Multiscreen display modes can be displayed on both Monitors (A and B). All alarm action and video loss

warnings are displayed on both monitors.The alarm/action call-up will occur only when Monitor B is in full screen mode. Multiscreen will not be available on Monitor B during recording operations.

Displaying Live Camera Pictures

Full Screen Display: Shows one camera, full screen on one monitor. Press the FULL SCREEN key on the front

panel, then press the appropriate camera number key for the camera you wish to be displayed.

Quad Screen Display: Divides the screen into four separate areas. Press the QUAD key once to enable the feature. Press the key repeatedly to toggle through different viewing configurations. Pressing ALT , then SEQ will sequence through all quad screens available with model in use.

SECTION 7: System4 ENHANCED OPERATION

NOTE: The following information pertains to System4 multiplexer models only.

System4 multiplexers provide special operating modes which enable enhanced operation and special customized system configurations, including expanded systems with control from system keyboards. This section describes the operating features/modes specific to System4 models. Keyboard descriptions and operating functions are also provided.

7.1 System4 Special Operating Features

Please refer to the OPERATING THE LTC 2600 MULTIPLEXER section in this manual for the standard operating features available to all multiplexer models. The following sections describe those operating features/modes unique to System4 multiplexers—this information is intended to be supplemental to the information provided in the OPERATING THE LTC 2600 section.

Tw o Output Relays for Actions/Alarms

System4 triplex multiplexers provide two output relays for actions or alarms. These relays may be programmed through the ACTION SETUP or ALARM SETUP menus in ADVANCED SETUP.

Simultaneous Record to Two VCRs (See Appendix B for an illustration of this system configuration):

System4 triplex models allow the following:

• Display of full screen live video on Monitor A.

• Record the selected camera pictures (as defined in the VCR1 RECORD LIST) to VCR 1.

• Record the selected camera pictures (as defined in the VCR2 RECORD LIST) to VCR 2.

Tw o VCRs are required for this operation—one to record the output from the VCR OUT connector and one to record the output from the MON B connection (Monitor B becomes a VCR output for VCR 2). By using two recorders, customized record lists can be generated for each VCR. For example, while the first VCR is recording normally, the second VCR can be set up to record only alarm or action video pictures.

To program the unit to operate in this mode, press ALT , then 2, then the REC key. This will engage the multiplexer to send video to both VCRs. Pressing ALT , then REC will disable this option. Normal viewing modes will not be available on MON B if being used as an alternate VCR OUTPUT.
