Operation Mode Setup

4 Video signals down 1 co-ax cable

Mode

The Mule4 allows 4 separate video signals to be sent down 1 co-ax cable allowing 3 extra CCTV cameras to be added

to an existing system. Figure 6 shows a diagram of how mode 1 is configured.

Rx - Receiver

1. The RG59 co-ax cable from the transmitter connects to the ‘Video In’ port (figure 2, 5) of the Mule receiver.

2. Connect your video cables from the ‘Video Out‘ ports marked 1 to 4 (figure 2, 1-4) to your 4 video in inputs on the back of your DVR.

. Make sure that ‘V4 or RS485’ switch is set to V4 (figure 6a).

4. If you find the video quality is low when coming out of the receiver, you can use the ‘Gain’ control knob (figure 2, 9) to fine adjust the

video image. This is especially useful when transmitting over distance.

4. You can adjust the brightness of the first 3 video inputs (figure 1, 7) if required by turning the grub screw with a

crewdriver clockwise and anticlockwise, however ‘Video In’ 4 is fixed.

Mode Tx Rx

V4 or RS485

The clever electronics of the Mule4 allow it to carry audio or RS485 in

addition to video signals along the same co-ax cable. It's even possible

to send three video signals in one direction and a fourth video signal in

another!

When you send audio or data down the co-ax you actually use up 1 video

channel. This means it can send 3 video feeds and 1 audio, or 3 video

signals and 1 RS485 data.

In mode 2, you need move the sector switch on the TX and RX to the

osition marked RS485. In all the other modes the switch needs to be in

the V4 position. The switch is always the same on both the RX and TX.

NB: Switches on both Tx and Rx must be set

identical to one another.
