TECHNICAL OVER VIEW
Video Input and Output
Motion Detection
The Multivision Pro series includes MV94p, MV99p, MV96p
color multiplexers and MV19p, MV16p B&W multiplexers.
The multiplexer is available configured for either NTSC/EIA
or P AL/CCIR video standar d. The unit features video camera
inputs with a passive looping output for each. Camera input
impedance termination is set independently for each camera
using switches on the back panel. Synchronizing or phasing
cameras is not required.
Video recording and playback is supported by VCR connections for both composite and S-Video signal formats (color
units only). The multiplexer automatically determines the
format used during tape playback.
T wo monitor outputs allow viewing live camera or videotaped
pictures on standard monitors. The main monitor displays
selected cameras in any available display format. The call
monitor displays any alarm images or any live camera image
full screen.
The multiplexer continuously monitors all camera inputs for
motion. When motion is detected, the multiplexer increases
how often that camera is recorded and displayed. If the motion alarm feature is ON, the multiplexer also alerts the operator with blinking panel LEDs. It also sounds an alarm tone
and encodes camera images as ALARM if those setup menu
options are ON. Motion detection options for day and for
night can be set for each camera input using a 192-target (16
wide by 12 high) graphic overlay. This allows using more
effective settings for alarm delay, object size, sensitivity and
target position for the two time periods. You can also set
motion alarms ON for night and OFF for day, or vice-versa.
Video Display
The main monitor displays either live camera pictures or pictures from tape. The display is based on a 512x512x16
(512x464x16 NTSC/EIA) bit digital video memory containing two interlaced video fields. As many as 256 gray shades
and 16 million colors can be displayed in six screen formats:
full screen, 2x zoom, Picture-In-Picture (PIP), 2x2, 3x3 (9 and
16-camera models only) and 4x4 (16-camera models only).
Chapter 1 — Features 3
The call monitor displays full screen images of cameras associated with alarms or images from any selected camera. It is
based on switched analog camera video.
Color demodulation is based on luminance and color difference processing. Demodulation circuitry operates on a line
by line basis and will correctly demodulate chroma information conforming to the NTSC (PAL) video standard.
A graphic generator with two interlaced bit mapped pages
provides the alphanumeric and graphic overlays required for
on-screen menus, camera titles and system messages.
Encoder Output
Decoder Output
The multiplexer video encoder produces a single video signal
containing field by field samples from all camera inputs. The
signal is provided in both composite and S-Video formats
(color models only) for connection to a video recorder.
Encoder operation is continuous and independent of display
and decoder functions. All inputs are sampled in camera
number order until motion is detected, when active cameras
are sampled more often.
The encoder uses Vertical Interval Signaling (VIS) techniques
to encode system information onto video output to the VCR.
Time, date, camera title, camera number and alarm status
information are placed on the 16 horizontal lines preceding
the first active video line. This technique improves vertical
synchronization recovery and improves graphics degraded
by poor tape recorder performance.
The multiplexer decoder processes the video output by the
VCR during playback, recovering the video from each camera originally recorded. The decoder digitizes the playback
video and recovers the VIS information encoded onto each
field. The recovered field is written to the video display
memory if required for display.

Chapter 2 — Front & Rear Panels
The following is a brief overview of the multiplexer front and
rear panels. Refer to Chapter 4 — Setup and Chapter 5 —
Operation for a detailed discussion of multiplexer features and
panel functions. Panel controls are illustrated below and each
button is described by name and function.
Figure 5 — Front Panel Controls and Indicators
THE FRONT PANEL
Some front panel buttons have dual functions. The primary
function is listed first, followed by the secondary function (shown
in parentheses). Indicator lights (LEDs) are above each button.
