BNC video inputs “IN” & outputs “OUT” 

Video Server allows up to four cameras attached at the same time. To ensure video 
modulation type being detected correctly, cameras should be attached sequentially from 
“VIDEO1” to “VIDEO4” and powered on before Video Server is powered on. There are 
also four loop-through connectors of video outputs for conjunction with other capturing 
devices like time-lapsed VCR. In such case, read the next paragraph for correct settings. 

 

 

DIP switches “1” to “4” 

There are four DIP switches numbered from “1” to “4” in the front panel regarding of 
each video input. They are used to enable the 75-ohm resistance of video impedance. 
They should be kept ON if there is only one camera connected to each video input. If 
users want to connect another device such as VCR or multiplexer to the video output, the 
switch should be turned up to disable the impedance. 
 
 

Auxiliary buttons “CLEAR” & “RESET” 

There are two buttons located at the center of the front panel, one is labeled “CLEAR” 
and the other is labeled “RESET”. Refer to the Appendix Troubleshooting for the detailed 
usage of system recovery.
