TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
TRIPLEX MULTIPLEXER ADVANTAGES
The multiplexer allows you to view multiple cameras using a single monitor, and to
record the video signals from all the camera inputs using a single VCR. Using the
triplex capability and two VCRs, live video cameras and playback channels from the
second VCR can be viewed side-by-side on a single monitor, while simultaneously
recording all of the live camera inputs. In other words, tape playback on the second
VCR does not affect the recording of all cameras by the first VCR. There are two
models available in this family: 16 channels (camera inputs) and 10 channels.
The multiplexer offers complete control over the system setup, including:
• Layout of windows on the monitor screen
• On-screen display including date and time & camera titles
• Programmable sequential switching on the main monitor
• Advanced alarm handling with history log
• Intelligent motion detection
• Special support for time-lapse VCRs
Please refer to Selected Features on page 5 for more information on multiplexer
features, and to Advanced Setup Using On-Screen Menus on page 23 and System
Installation on page 7 for detailed instructions for using all of the functions.
