The DX-TL5000U offers superb versatility with support for numerous display options on one
or more monitors.
Versatile Monitoring
Choose from a wide range of recording options to handle various emergency events with
enhanced reliability.
Versatile Recording
16ch multiplexer
Thanks to its 16-channel multiplexer, the DX-TL5000U
can be hooked up to 16 cameras. You can choose
between 5 different split-screen displays — handling
16, 13, 10, 9 or 4 video feeds simultaneously — and a
full-screen display. Even when using the 16-way split-
screen display, the DX-TL5000U can handle 60 pictures
a second from each camera. This ensures a natural-
looking live video display with smooth motion.
There's no need to interrupt operations just to
check recorded footage. Triplex capability
means that you can display live video feeds as
well as previously recorded footage at the
same time as the DX-TL5000U is recording.
You can even archive material simultaneously.
Pick any segment of the split-screen display
for playback and use the jog-shuttle control to
navigate.

High-definition recording
You can pick from 6 levels of recording quality. What appears as smooth video
footage on playback is in fact recorded as a series of still pictures using JPEG2000
technology. The high efficiency of wavelet-based image compression ensures both
high picture quality and a vast recording capacity: 1 terabyte of data can be stored
using the 750-gigabyte
*
internal HD capacity of the DX-TL5000U,
which can also record up to 4 audio channels in PCM format.
Triggered by motion detection — with parameters set individually for each of the 16 cameras that can
be connected to the recorder — and/or by the activation of an external alarm sensor, the DX-TL5000U
retroactively initiates alarm recording between 1 second and sixty minutes (user selectable). Alarm
recording starts at a point up to three minutes prior to
the alarm.
The vital data produced by alarm or emergency recording is stored in a separate, reserved partition on
the hard disk. This protects the video footage from the danger of being overwritten. To increase
reliability even further, another hard disk can be used to mirror data: should one of the disks fail, the
data will still be safe.

The DX-TL5000U is prepared for all
emergencies
The DX-TL5000U's dual multiplexer allows you to use
two monitors, thus creating a powerful camera-monitoring
setup with double split-screen capability. Live video
and playback footage can be output separately to the two
monitors. Alternatively, the output from a single
camera can be displayed on both monitors but with a time
shift — useful if you need to check many hours of video!
Emergency recording is activated by a device, such as a panic button,
attached to a terminal on the rear panel. Whatever timed or
programmed settings are in effect, emergency recording takes priority,
cycling through all designated camera views automatically and
recording at the highest quality setting so as to capture every detail.
If long pre-alarm recording has been selected, emergency recording can start as early as 60 minutes prior
to the emergency signal. This exclusive feature can provide ample information for later examination and
analysis.
