CAUTION
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications. It
has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
computing device pursuant to subpart B of part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user at his own expense will be required to
take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio
noise emissions as set out in the Radio Interference Regulations

ABOUT THE MUX-1602C
Installation and Operation Manual
The XtendLan MUX-1602C multiplexer represents the latest
advance in digital picture processors. It

cameras.
The time-lapse VCR is a proven and valuable tool for documenting visual events captured by a single camera. Applications employing multiple cameras require additional VCRs, sequential video
switchers or quad picture processors. Each solution has tradeoffs.
The VCR is an expensive piece of equipment which requires maintenance. The video switcher reduces the rate at which each camera
is recorded. The quad picture processor reduces the quality of the
recorded image. For many applications, none of these solutions is
satisfactory. MUX-1602C multiplexers address the requirement to
view
and record multiple cameras through the application of digital
multiplexing, Dynamic Time Division (DTD) and Vertical

Installation and Operation Manual
Encoder Output
Decoder Output
The 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 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 sampling is weighted
in favor of the active cameras.
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 can improve vertical sync recovery and can
also eliminate the degraded graphics associated with poor tape
recorder performance.
The video 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. If the recovered
field is to be displayed, it is written to the video display memory.

the eight bars progress evenly from white to black.
5. Turn the monitor’s color level control to its midpoint.
6. Adjust the monitor’s tint (hue) control until the colors are

Camera Check
The MUX-1602C multicamera display capability makes checking
camera
performance as simple as comparing two pictures on one
screen.
This method is preferable to the direct camera to monitor
technique because it allows precise adjustment of each camera
against a chosen reference camera. In this way, differences between
cameras are minimized and picture quality is optimized.
NOTE: Before performing a c

is important! There is little advantage in optimizing
system cameras using a monitor that is out of
adjustment.
The camera check procedure is as follows:
1. Complete the monitor calibration procedure.
2. Connect all system cameras directly to the MUX-1602C

inputs. Remove all connections to the looping (lower)
outputs.
3. Make sure the MUX-1602C is configured for 75-ohm termination

IN CASE OF TROUBLE
XtendLan MUX-1602C
When a problem arises, review the section of the manual that covers
the activity during which the problem occurs. If necessary, consult
the troubleshooting table on the following pages.
If the problem cannot be resolved, you may have to contact your
dealer or the factory. When you call for support, the representative
will ask you to provide specific information about the installation.
To save time, spend a few minutes getting organized before you
pick up the telephone.
Before calling your Robot dealer or Factory Technical Support,
write down the following information:
• The serial number of your MUX-1602C.
• The make and model of each piece of hardware connected to
the MUX-1602C.
• Approximate date of purchase and of installation.
• The symptoms, as you have observed them.
NOTE: Please do
NOT return any product to the factory
without first obtaining a Return Authorization (RA)
number. Failure to do so can result in a significant
delay in processing your repair. To obtain an
authorization number, contact Factory Technical
Support.
