2.6 Setting The VCR Playback Speed
Note
The multiplexer does not control the VCR.
You must select the playback speed on the VCR, and not on the multiplexer. There is
no related set-up required on the multiplexer during playback.
The multiplexer will automatically adjust its display to match the VCR playback
speed.
Indicators
The on-screen indicator (P024 for example, for 24 hour mode) tells you the speed at
which the tape was recorded. It does not indicate the speed at which the tape is
being played back. To find out the playback speed, you must look at the VCR’s
playback speed indicator.
The multiplexer will display the text N/A if a camera does not get updated from tape
within a minimum time (N/A signifies that the camera is Not Available). This is a
warning message, not an error message. This indicator warns you that the update
rate is very slow or updating may have stopped. It warns that there may have been
events that were not captured during the recording, or the tape data may be
corrupted.
When Tapes Cannot Be Decoded
If the multiplexer cannot decode a tape which is being played back, the system will
display a blank screen. The fields will not be decoded or separated.
PLAY Mode - Monitor-A Indications
During PLAY mode the on-screen text ’P’ indicates the current mode, PLAY mode.
The speed at which the data was recorded is displayed after the P, for example,
P003 or P024.
If the recording was made using the Camera Switch Input (R EXT), then the mode
and speed indicator will read ‘P EXT’.
The time and date is displayed on-screen during PLAY mode. You should note,
however, that this is the recorded time, not the current system time.
The indicator, VDL, will be displayed in the full-screen display or V, in the
corresponding cameo in a multi-screen, if there was videoloss at the time that the
recording was made.
