Function Description
Connected The Digital Sprite 2 can automatically detect if a camera source is
present, the corresponding input will be enabled in this menu for
connected cameras.
Camera Title It is possible to allocate an ASCII camera title to each of the enabled
inputs, this along with the camera number will be displayed on the
screen to identify the camera selected.
Recording Day /
Night / Weekend
Each camera can be individually enabled to be available for recording
when the unit is in the Day, night or weekend operation mode.
Viewable Cameras can be selected or deselected from being available to be
viewed, e.g. covert cameras. This setting does not affect the recorded
video it is for viewing only.
Terminated
As the Digital Sprite 2 supports loop through it is necessary to remove
the termination of any inputs that are ‘looped’, by default all inputs are
terminated at 75 ohms.
Mono If the video input on the Digital Sprite 2 has a black and white
(monochrome) source connected then enable the corresponding
camera.
The Digital Sprite 2 will try and compress the colour contents of the
image if this box is not enabled, ticking this box will remove unnecessary
overhead on the compression process.
Telemetry
The Digital Sprite 2 supports a number of coaxial and serial protocols,
this option allows one of these to be selected from the list and allocated
to the corresponding camera input. The coaxial telemetry protocols are
Dennard, Pelco and BBV. Refer to How to Enable Serial Telemetry for
RS232/RS422/RS485 telemetry.
Camera Fail
Reporting
If the video input on the Digital Sprite 2 does not identify a 1V peak-to-
peak signal then the unit can transmit an alarm notification for camera
failure on the corresponding video input.
Record Duration The total record time available in (DD) Days and (HH) Hours. This
indicates the storage capacity of the system without any alarm
recording.
It is estimated from size of video storage, the standard record rate and
the requested target size of the recorded images.
Note: Changing the Record Duration will automatically update the
Standard Record Rate. Changing the Standard Record Rate will likewise
update the Record Rate. This should be configured for day, night and
weekend operation modes.
