Technical Overview
The Triplex Multiplexers feature motion detection, alarm association, and multi-lingual setup
menus.
The motion detection system senses motion vectors in any direction. The sensitivity can be
adjusted and set for day and night motion detection schedules. A motion tracking box gives
visual indications for easy setup.
The multiplexer contains both BNC and Y/C mini DIN inputs and outputs for VCR connection.
The main monitor connects to either a composite BNC or Y/C mini DIN output. There are four
BNC auxiliary outputs to be used for “spot” monitors or as sources of video for other devices.
The multiplexer has a large selection of user selectable display formats. It also has digital
zooming up to 32 times the original scene.
A multi-lingual menu allows for easy setup. The user’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile
memory to protect against loss of settings during power outages.
