TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

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 PAL/CCIR video standard. 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.

Two 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

Encoder Output

Decoder Output

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.

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.
