28 Video Multiplexer with Video Motion Detection
Chapter 5  Operation
The multiplexer is flexible and very easy to use. No setup is
required to use the basic features, yet the product can be adapted
to meet the display and recording requirements of most
multicamera security systems.
This section describes how to operate the multiplexer. It is
organized by operating task and product feature.
The multiplexer has three basic operating modes: live, tape and
setup.
Tape mode allows you to view the video recorded by the VCR. If
you only have one VCR connected, recording stops while you
review a tape. The call monitor is the only source of live images.
The call monitor displays either one selected camera full screen,
or full screen images from any cameras with alarms.
LIVE MODE
Press the Live button to view live camera video. Live mode allows
you to view any combination of connected cameras on the main
monitor in any display format. The call monitor displays either
one selected camera full screen, or displays full screen images from
cameras with alarms. Live camera viewing does not affect camera
video output to the VCR. Recording camera video via the
multiplexer vcr out connector is completely independent and is
not affected by operator actions at the front panel.
The live multicamera display updates a new camera every 1/60 of
a second (PAL every 1/50 of a second). The final update rate for
each camera depends on how many cameras are displayed and
whether the camera has activity. Live updates are weighted
according to activity much like updates sent to the VCR.
