2 Video Multiplexer with Video Motion Detection
TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
The multiplexer series includes the RV2204, RV2209 and RV2216
color recording and display multiplexers and the RV1309 and
RV1316 B&W multiplexers.
Video Input and Output
The multiplexer is available configured for either NTSC/EIA or
PAL/CCIR video standard. The unit features video camera inputs
with a passive looping output for each. Camera input impedance
termination is set independently for each camera using switches
on the back panel. Synchronizing or phasing cameras is not
required.
Video recording and playback is supported by VCR connections
for both composite and S-Video signal formats (color units only).
The multiplexer automatically determines the format used during
tape playback.
Two monitor outputs allow viewing live camera or videotaped pic-
tures on standard monitors. The main monitor displays selected
cameras in any available display format. The call monitor displays
any alarm images or any live camera image full screen.
Motion Detection
The multiplexer continuously monitors all camera inputs for mo-
tion. When motion is detected, the multiplexer increases how
often that camera is recorded and displayed. If the motion alarm
feature is ON, the multiplexer also alerts the operator with blink-
ing panel LEDs. It also sounds an alarm tone and encodes camera
images as ALARM if those setup menu options are ON. Motion
detection options for day and for night can be set for each camera
input using a 192-target (16 wide by 12 high) graphic overlay. This
allows using more effective settings for alarm delay, object size,
sensitivity and target position for the two time periods. You can
also set motion alarms ON for night and OFF for day, or vice-versa.
Video Display
The main monitor displays either live camera pictures or pictures
from tape. The display is based on a 512x464x16 NTSC/EIA
(512x512x16 PAL/CCIR) bit digital video memory containing
two interlaced video fields. As many as 256 gray shades and 16
million colors can be displayed in six screen formats: full screen,
2x zoom, Picture-In-Picture (PIP), 2x2, 3x3 (9-camera and 16-
camera modelsonly) and 4x4 (16-camera modelsonly).
