1. Video Input: 16 channel composite video inputs with BNC connectors

Since this DVR automatically detects video format (NTSC or PAL) as soon as power is

ON, NTSC or PAL video sources can be connected in DVR. But NTSC and PAL video sources for 16CH

video inputs can not be mixed. If they are mixed, DVR can’ not be operated properly.

2. Video Output One video output (Upper BNC) is used to monitor live, playback pictures. The other

(lower BNC) is used to monitor SPOT monitoring which displays all of connected video channels

sequentially.

3. Audio input (upper RCA) and Output (Lower RCA) Unbalanced audio signal input and output with RCA jack. Connect the audio source (microphone) to

audio input, audio output (speaker) to your amplifier because the DVR does not have amplified audio output, therefore, a speaker will be needed for audio playback. The audio input can be fro m an amplified source or directly from a microphone.

4. 16CH Loop through outputs: 16 channel composite video outputs with D-SUB connectors. If the connection of loop-through video outputs into video equipments is requested, 16CH Loop-Through outputs can be utilized for it. If loop-through video outputs will be connected to another video equipments, 75 Ohm termination switch should be “OFF”. Then, another video equipments should be 75 ohm terminated.

5. 75 Ohm Termination Switch

If you want to connect loop-through video outputs into another video equipments, 75 Ohm termination

switch should be “OFF”. Then, the other video equipments should be 75 ohm terminated. If loop through video outputs are not connected to the other video equipments, it should be “ON”.

If 75 Ohm termination switch “ON” or “OFF” is changed unintentionally, it will cause poor video quality.

6. Alarm input and relay output: (16 alarm inputs and 4 relay output with NO, NC)

To make secure connections on the Alarm Connector Box, press and hold the button then insert the wire

of alarm in the hole below of connector pin. After releasing the pin, pull gently on the wire to test it is

• G (Ground), COM (common): G is same as common.

Connect the ground side of the Alarm input to G (Ground). Connect the ground side of relay output to

COM connector.

• 4 Relay output:

4 relay outputs with NO or NC can be sent to external device. You can select NO or NC according to

characteristic of mechanical or electrical switch.
