These connectors input the composite video signal
from the cameras.
Note:
If the video signal is interrupted due to a cable
disconnection, for example, the message
“CHXXLOSS” is displayed and the buzzer
beeps. Check that the connections are correct
and firm, then input the video signal again or
press the SEQUENCE/ALARM RESET button.
This stops the buzzer and resets the alarm and

was interrupted.
Caution:
The picture may be disturbed when switching
non-synchronized camera signals. This can be
avoided by synchronizing the camera signals.

The playback signal from the time lapse VTR is sup-
plied to this connector. This connector works only
when MULTIPLEX mode is selected.
