BTTTB

Please use high quality, sound shielded BNC. Please select suitable BNC model according to the

transmission distance.

If the distance is too long, you should use twisted pair cable, and you can add video

compensation devices or use optical fiber to ensure video quality.

You should keep the video signal away from the strong electromagnetic interference, especially

the high tension current.

Keep connection lugs in well contact

BTTTB

The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry joint,

lap welding and oxidation.

BTTTB

3.5.2 Connecting Video Output

Video output includes a TBNC(PAL/NTSC BNC（1.0VP- P， 75Ω）output and a VGA output.

System supports BNC, VGA and HDMI output at the same time. See

When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, please pay attention to the following

points:

z To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.

z Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.

z Keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference devices.

Using TV as video output device is not a reliable substitution method. You also need to reduce

the working hour and control the interference from power supply and other devices. The low

quality TV may result in device damage.
