12 Video Multiplexer with Video Motion Detection
NOTE: The Alarm Hold Input is not normally used and is only
provided for compatibility purposes. Alarm duration
control is better managed by the multiplexer. See
Alarm Recording Control for more details.
The alarm hold input accepts a normally closed contact type or
active high TTL/CMOS alarm signal. Connect alarms pin 36 to
the alarm hold output of the VCR or other device. Connect the
remaining side of the output to ground (post labeled gnd on back
panel).
Alarm Hold Input
Alarm Output The alarm output is a contact type signal between alarms pin 17
(common) and pin 18 (normally closed) or pin 19 (normally open).
Connect the appropriate pins to the alarm input of the VCR or
other device. See Appendix D Technical Specifications for details.
Motion Alarm Outputs The motion alarm outputs use a TTL/CMOS type signal. Con-
nect each motion alarms pin (pins 2035) to a TTL/CMOS com-
patible alarm input on the VCR or other device. Connect the
remaining side of the output to ground (post labeled gnd on back
panel). Motion alarm output polarity is menu selectable and de-
faults to active high.
Autodetect VCR Speed Pin 37 connects to the VCR to get the timing signal (it may be
named clock or trigger) so the multiplexer can switch to use the
same recording speed as the VCR. If the VCR changes the re-
cording speed, the multiplexer will automatically adjust the speed
to match. Check your VCR manual to see if the VCR provides a
timing signal.
Remote
The two RJ11 connectors are for the multiplexer remote control
panel option or remote control commands.
Remote Control Panel Option Connect the cable provided with the remote control panel to the
remote in connector. If daisychaining to another multiplexer,
connect the remote out of this multiplexer to the remote in of
the next multiplexer in the chain. The remote control panel and
the multiplexer front panel operate identically and may be used at
the same time. See Remote Control Panel manual for details.
