Tape Playback Mode
Main monitor display: Pressing TAPE puts the unit in play-
back mode to review a previously recorded tape. You can press
a display format button (2x2, 3x3 or 4x4) to see a multicamera
display, or you can even customize the display by pressing and
holding either the 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 button and pressing CAM-
ERA buttons in the order you want them displayed. Pressing
a CAMERA button shows the selected camera image from tape
displayed full-screen. Pressing sequence (up arrow) displays
full-screen camera images sequentially at the current dwell rate.
The TAPE LED is lit.
The RECORD and LIVE LEDs are off.
Nothing is sent to the VCR while it is playing back a tape.
If the RECORDER STOPPED message displays on the main
monitor, press the play button on the VCR to playback a tape.
If you see RECORDER STOPPED when you are changing back
to record mode, press RECORD to take the Simplex out of play-
back mode and resume recording.
Videotape Operations
The Simplex allows recording of multiple cameras onto a single
videotape.
VCR Setup
Alarms
If a live alarm occurs while playing back a tape, the call moni-
tor displays the live camera image. If there are multiple alarms,
each displays full-screen on the call monitor. There are no
ALARM messages, and none of the front panel indicators react
to a live alarm.
If an alarm was recorded to tape, the ALARM message displays
with the camera image on the main monitor (unless the ALARM
MESSAGE DISPLAY menu option was OFF when the tape was
recorded). The LEDs on the front panel are lit for each camera
associated with a recorded alarm.
Make certain that the video in of the VCR is connected to the
vcr out connector on the Simplex rear panel, and that the video
out of the VCR is connected to the vcr in connector on the Sim-
plex rear panel.
