Advanced Technology Video, Inc. HAND HELD IR REMOTE CONTROL The hand held remote control allows easy remote operation of your QSP-660 by duplicating the front panel buttons as shown in the diagram. One major difference between front panel and remote operation is that the individual camera buttons have been reduced to a single button. In this case, the first press of the camera button will cause the QSP-660 to display camera 1.
Advanced Technology Video, Inc. ALARM INTERCONNECTION ON THE QSP-660 1K Ohm The alarm connector on the back panel allows input of four external control signals to affect the behavior of the real time quad under alarm conditions. Alarm inputs are provided for each camera. A picture freeze input is also provided to allow the picture to be frozen. These inputs are normally generated by a switch located at a door, window, or other point in the installation where a camera is monitoring activity.
In some installations, the alarm output is used to activate or deactivate high voltage and/or high current circuitry (110 VAC lights, siren, etc.) which cannot be controlled directly by the QSP-660. The easiest method to address the above cases is to use a relay, which has the number and rating on its contacts sufficient for the alarm output. Shown below are two methods to control a high current or high voltage device using a relay with a single, normally open contact.
RS-232 REMOTE CONTROL INTERFACE The QSP-660 has a built in RS-232 serial interface that supports remote control of the QSP-660 through simple ASCII commands. These commands provide access to the front panel button operations just as the IR Remote Control does. The QSP-660 serial interface is fixed at 2400 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS The QSP-660 is designed to be compatible with all EIA and CCIR compatible equipment. The QSP-660 will accept 2:1 interlace cameras in either a line-locked or free running (internal reference) modes. The use of random interlace camera is not recommended unless the line lock is turned off.
