Camera connections
On hybrid units, connect cameras to the
Video in
connectors on the back of the unit using
75 ohm video coaxial cables with BNC connectors. Optionally, this signal can be looped
through to other equipment via the corresponding
Video out
connector. The camera input
connectors are auto-terminating. There is no need to add a terminator to the output
connector if no additional equipment is connected.
If the camera signal is looped-through to additional equipment, make sure that the end of the
video connection is terminated with 75 ohm termination.
The unit automatically configures itself as a PAL or NTSC unit. The unit determines the
standard by detecting the signal format of the first connected camera (lowest camera input
number).
On network units, or hybrid units with no analog cameras connected, the detection process
fails and the recorder configures itself as a PAL unit. In this case, no video is visible on an
NTSC monitor.
To change this behaviour select a preferred video mode during start-up.
–
For PAL, press the monitor and camera 1 buttons simultaneously for ten seconds during
power-up.
–
For NTSC, press the monitor and camera 2 buttons simultaneously for ten seconds
during power-up.
The unit retains these manual settings on subsequent start-ups.
