During recording, the multiplexer indicates the speed at which it is recording on
Monitor-A. It uses the same time-format for the indicator as is generally used by time
lapse VCRs. For example, R024 will be displayed to indicate that the unit is
Recording in 24 hour mode. If the VCR Switch Input is active, then R EXT will be
displayed.
On a simplex unit, this indicator will only be seen in RECORD mode. On a duplex
unit, this indicator will be visible in all modes.
Monitor-B Output While Recording
The Monitor-B monitor always displays analogue live, full-screen images of the
camera inputs, regardless of which mode is selected. The display can also
sequence.
Alarm Displays On Monitor B
The flashing indicator, ALM, is displayed in the live image for the camera in alarm.
On a simplex unit in RECORD mode, the Monitor-A and the Monitor-B outputs are
the same, and both will automatically switch to a full-screen live display of a camera
in alarm. Multiple simultaneous alarms cause the display to sequence between
alarmed cameras, with a fixed dwell time of 1 second.
Note
During RECORD mode, the alarm image on a simplex unit cannot be frozen on
Monitor-A.
Recording With Live Mode Selected On A Simplex Multiplexer
On the simplex unit, the unit’s VCR output during the LIVE mode is identical to the
Monitor-A, with the on-screen text present at that time. There will be no multiplexed
recording, and no digital data identifying each field.
On the duplex model, normal multiplexed recording can take place from the VCR
output even when LIVE mode is selected.
Record Mode Lock On A Simplex Multiplexer
This function does not apply to duplex models as they are always in RECORD mode.
On the simplex unit, it is often required that recording cannot be stopped by the
operator, either deliberately or in error. Recording will be stopped when switching to
LIVE or PLAY modes. To prevent recording being stopped, RECORD mode can be
locked ON in the menus, which are password protected. If power is lost to the unit
while RECORD mode is locked ON, then instead of powering up in the LIVE mode,
the unit will automatically revert to RECORD mode when power is restored.
