Chapter 5 — Operation 33
Sequencing Cameras
The multiplexer allows sequential display of cameras on the
main monitor in any available format. In the Full Screen
format, all cameras can be sequenced full screen. In
multicamera formats, cameras not already displayed can be
sequenced in the lower right window. Cameras sequence in
camera number order at a rate determined by the GLOBAL
DWELL setting (see Chapter 4 — Setup).
To start camera sequencing:
1. Select the desired format.
2. Press the sequence button. The sequence light comes
on and the multiplexer switches cameras in the lower right
window of the display (or full screen) at the current Global
Dwell rate.
To stop camera sequencing:
Press the sequence button again. The sequence light goes
out. Sequencing stops with the current camera displayed in
the lower right window (or full screen).
Videotape Operations
The multiplexer allows recording of multiple cameras onto a
single videotape. This encoding function is performed in the
background and does not interfere with other operations. All
multiplexer features remain available while recording. If two
VCRs are connected, tape playback does not affect recording.
It is possible to review a previously recorded tape while
recording continues on a second VCR. See Simultaneous Record
and Play for details.
VCR Setup
For optimum tape recording and playback, the multiplexer
must be correctly set up for use with the VCR. This is done
by changing settings in the setup menu system.
Two setup options affect camera recording:
• VCR RECORD TIME
• VCR ALARM RECORD TIME
Refer to Chapter 4 — Setup for a description of these VCR menu
options and their use.
