Play Mode
PLAY mode plays back a previously-recorded multiplexed tape. Upon entering the
PLAY mode, the multiplexer will automatically select a multi-screen display which
shows you all the possible recorded images on Monitor-A. You can view the
playback in full-screen or multi-screen formats, similar to LIVE mode formats. The
unit automatically reconstructs each camera’s identification, its status, and the date
and time which was current at the time of recording and then displays it with the
corresponding camera image.
In play mode you can also adjust the brightness and contrast of the display.
Your multiplexer can decode Baxall and DM compatible recordings. You can select
which in the menu system. The DEFAULT format decodes recordings from Baxall
ZMX-IT and ZMX-Storm mulitplexers.
Note
It is important to remember that Monitor-B continues to display live, full-screen
images during PLAY mode. Only Monitor-A displays playback images.
Live Mode
There are several different multi-screen display formats that can be selected by you
on the Monitor-A multi-screen output during LIVE mode.
These are described in section Multi-screen Formats
Output To The VCR During Live Mode And Play Mode
During LIVE or PLAY mode, the signal on the unit’s VCR output is different for
simplex and duplex models. For duplex models, there is always a multiplexed video
signal present on the VCR output for multiplexed recording. For simplex models, the
VCR output only has multiplexed output when in record mode.
Videoloss
Your multiplexer monitors the video inputs for video loss. If it detects videoloss, it can
sound the buzzer (if enabled, the default is OFF), flashes the videoloss LED (the
right-hand LED under the ALARM key) and displays VDL text on the full-screen
display and V in a multi-screen.
Note
After a camera is restored from video-loss, you should select it full-screen. This
ensures the fastest recognition by the multiplexer that the camera is now
connected.
