2.5 Monitor Outputs
Monitor-B
The Monitor-B monitor always displays analog live, full-screen images of the camera
inputs, regardless of which mode is selected.
Monitor-A
While Recording
On a duplex unit, you can select LIVE or PLAY mode while recording is taking place.
Hence you can select any desired Monitor-A multi-screen output on a duplex unit,
while multiplexed recording takes place on the VCR output. Monitor-A images can be
frozen.
On a simplex unit, Monitor-A only displays analog, full-screen images while RECORD
mode is selected, and displays exactly the same output as on Monitor-B.
Record Speed Indicator
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.
Alarm Displays In Record Mode
On a duplex unit you can select LIVE or PLAYBACK modes while recording is taking
place, and so the alarm displays will conform to the LIVE or PLAY modes of
operation.
On a simplex unit in RECORD mode, the Monitor-B and the Monitor-A multi-screen
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.
