INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing Toshiba's JK-MX16A Color Duplex Multiplexer. This instruction manual describes every aspect of installation, set-up, and operation of the JK-MX16A. If you run into difficulties and need technical assistance, feel free to call our technical support center at 1 (877) 855 1349 available weekdays between the hours of 9AM - 5PM PST or visit our web page at

Overview

The Toshiba JK-MX16A Color Multiplexer has the capacity to support up to 16 cameras and can display them in a variety of display modes (example: 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4, etc.). Each camera is sequenced at a rate that is equal to the recording speed on the VCR up to 1/20 second. The JK-MX16A offers a wide variety of features designed to integrate with most any video surveillance system.

Features

• Multiple Screen Displays

In both live and playback modes, the JK-MX16A supports a multitude of display modes including: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 8+2, 12+1, picture in picture modes, vertical split screen, horizontal split screen, squash screen and squish screen. (Refer to page 13 for details)

www.cctv.toshiba.com.

• Multiplex Recording/Playback

The JK-MX16A is designed to record all cameras onto a single VHS videotape. During the recording process, each camera is encoded with a digital ID number. For example, camera one is encoded with a “number one,” camera two is encoded with “number two,” and so on. During playback the multiplexer looks for the digital ID number and decodes the signal. The end result is that you can select to view any camera you wish to view without having to view all of the cameras that have been recorded.

The speed at which the multiplexer switches from camera to camera is determined by the speed at which the VCR records. For example, if the VCR is set to record in 18-hour modes (also known as 24-Hour Virtual Real-Time), the JK-MX16A must be programmed to record at the same speed. (Refer to page 22 for details)

• Multiple Monitor Outputs

The JK-MX16A is equipped with two monitor outputs. The main monitor output will display both live and playback image in any multiple screen display desired including programmed camera sequence. The call monitor output displays each live camera in full screen mode and can be programmed to sequence at a rate determined by the user. (Refer to page 28 for details)

• Day/Night Function

This unit has the unique ability of converting a color camera with mediocre low light capabilities into a black & white camera with excellent low light capabilities for use in low light conditions. This function is programmable via a timer schedule. (Refer to page 21)

• Alarm Function and Scheduling

This unit is equipped with one alarm-input contact for each camera input. Upon alarm activation this unit can be programmed to automatically alter recording priority of alarmed camera input and display the alarmed camera in any desired display mode including full screen. Each alarm input channel can be programmed to ignore an alarm input by timer schedule. (Refer to page 23 for details) In addition, this unit has the capability of storing all alarm events in an alarm event log. (Refer to page 26 for details)

- 5 -

• Video Loss

This unit is equipped with video loss detection. Each camera can be individually programmed. (Refer to page 26 for details)

• Motion Detection/Counter Functions

This unit provides extensive video motion detection capabilities. Among the programmable parameters available are motion direction, motion size, motion area, sensitivity, dwell time, and display mode. In addition, each motion event can be logged to a counter and displayed to the monitor. (Refer to page 24 for details)

• Display Mode Save/Recall Function

The monitor display mode as specified by the front panel can be saved and recalled. When power is switched off and then on again, the unit will start up from the saved condition. (Refer to page 20 for details)

• High Density Function

This feature effectively doubles the amount of images that are recorded. High density mode operate only in modes slower than 24 hour standard density (SP) or 48 hour high density (EP). (Refer to page 23 for details)

Duplex View Function

The duplex view function allows the VCR playback image to be displayed while simultaneously viewing live images. (Refer to page 16 for details)

• Zoom Function

The zoom function allows a live camera image to be enlarged up to five times the normal size. (Refer to page 14 for details)

• VCR Playback Adjustment Function

This function allows the user to maximize the stability of the playback images. Essentially it helps minimize vertical jitter and minimize the mixing of playback cameras. (Refer to page 15 for details)

• VCR Bypass Function

Many VCRs have on-screen displays that require a monitor in order to program the VCR. The JK-MX16A offers a VCR Bypass function that allows the user to directly view the output of the VCR enabling. This enables the user to view and program any on screen menus, which the VCR may have. This feature can also be used to directly view the VCR's output in order to adjust VCR tracking. (Refer to page 15 for details)

• Discreet Camera Function

There might be some instances where certain cameras are to be recorded but not necessarily monitored live. One example would be a hidden or discreet camera that is to be hidden from the guard that is monitoring the camera. In this case, discreet camera function can be used to “hide” a camera from the security guard while still being recorded onto videotape. (Refer to page 21 for details)
