Setting The VCR Playback Speed
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.
Decoding Tape Formats From Different Multiplexers
Your multiplexer can decode tapes recorded on other multiplexers. If a tape from a
DM compatible multiplexer is to be played back, the Alternate format must first be
selected from the menu system.
Tapes Recorded On A Compatible System
The unit must be set to Default format in the Playback Format sub-menu to decode
tapes recorded in Baxall ZMX format. This is the factory default setting.
Tapes Recorded On A Dedicated Micros Compatible System
To decode these tapes, select the Alternate option. When play is selected, an on-
screen ‘ALT’ indicator will indicate that DM Compatible decoding is in progress.
During DM tape decoding, the multi-screen formats can be selected exactly as for the
normal multiplexer tape playback.
Note
If DM (Alternate) decoding is currently selected, tapes made via your multiplexer
will not be correctly decoded, and vice-versa.
