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.
