CONNECTIONS
Video Outputs
Two Video Out BNCs, labeled CALL and QUAD, are used for video
outputs to monitors, VCRs, etc. Each output must be terminated in 75
ohms at the end of the cable run.
The SuperQuad HR can be used with one or two monitors. If only one
monitor is used, connect it to the CALL output; this
permits the display of either the camera sequences or the Quad
display. If two monitors are used, connect one to the CALL output,
which can be used as a sequence monitor, and one to the QUAD
output, which always presents the Quad format.
The output configurations of varied camera connections are described
below. Typical configurations of monitors and VCRs using these
connections are illustrated in the Appendix.
4-Camera Configuration
In a four camera configuration, cameras 1 through 4 are displayed as
Quad A; Quad B is not displayed. The layout of the Quad A display
on the QUAD monitor and the sequence of displays on the CALL
monitor are illustrated in Figure 8.
Figure 8 - 4 -Camera Displays
1.
Connect up to four video sources to inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4.
2. Set the slide switches on the rear panel to the LOOP 75
position if the signals are terminated at the SuperQuad.
3.
Set the slide switch to the LOOP HiZ if the signal is looped to
another video device (Ensure that the last element on the looping
chain is terminated in 75 ohms.)
5- to 7-Camera Configuration
If less than eight video sources are used and you do not wish to have a
blank screen in one of the Quads, or you wish to see one or more
high-priority cameras continuously, the following configuration can
be used.
Cameras 1 through 4 are displayed in Quad A. If available, cameras 5
through 8 are displayed in Quad B. Note that the camera(s) without
paired inputs continuously displays in its associated quadrant. Figure 9
illustrates one example of this display. With no camera connected to
Input 5, camera #1 is
No INPUT#5 - CAMERA#1 in
both QUAD A and QUAD B
Figure 9 - 5 to 7 Camera Displays
1.
Connect four video sources to BNC I thru 4 and the
remaining sources to any of the other video inputs.
2.
Where two video inputs are associated with a BNC pair, set
the slide switch to the DUO position.
3. Where there is one video input associated with a pair, set the slide
switch to the Loop 75 position. The video inputs with the slide
switch in the Loop 75 position will appear on both Quads A and B
and will not sequence, but their titles will change from Quad page
A to page B.
8-Camera Configuration
In an eight camera configuration, cameras I thru 4 are displayed in
Quad A and cameras 5 through 8 are displayed in Quad B. Figure 10
shows the CALL and QUAD output display sequences.
Figure 10 - 8-Camera Displays
1. Connect eight video sources to BNC inputs l through 8.
2. Set all slide switches to the DUO position. This terminates
all eight inputs at the SuperQuad.
