34 Multivision® Pro Installation and Operation Manual
Autodetect VCR Speed If pin 37 on the alarms connector is connected to the VCR for
the timing signal (it may be named clock or trigger) the mul-
tiplexer switches to the same recording speed as the VCR.
Not all VCRs send a signal when switching to an alarm re-
cording rate. See your VCR manual for details about whether
this feature is supported by your VCR. If the VCR does NOT
send a signal, be sure you enter the settings you want in the
multiplexer menu for VCR RECORD TIME and VCR ALARM
RECORD TIME.
Multicamera Recording Multiple camera recording involves simply placing the VCR
in record mode. All cameras connected to the multiplexer are
encoded on tape. No action is required at the multiplexer.
NOTE: Several factors affect the order and rate at which
cameras are recorded. These include the number
of connected cameras, the number of cameras with
motion, and the number of alarms generated
during recording.
One Camera Recording The multiplexer can be directed to record a single “priority”
camera exclusively. This feature can be turned on or off at
any time.
To start one camera recording:
1. Press and hold the 1 cam (function) button.
2. Press the camera (1–16) button for the camera to be
recorded. The indicator light above that camera button
comes on. The multiplexer displays the selected camera
on the main monitor and flashes the 1 cam light to indicate
that the system is in one camera record mode.
Tape Recording Refer to Figure 1 — Basic Multivision Pro System. Make certain
that the video input of the VCR is connected to the vcr out or
s-vhs out connector on the multiplexer.
