QSP-860MPX: Instructions for Basic Operation and Installation
Page 14
Security Set Up
Security lockout is a means to disable the QSP-860MPX
menus so that casual or inadvertent tampering can be
prevented. It is not intended as a hard security measure
and can be bypassed by removing the QSP-860MPX power
followed by applying power and simultaneously pressing
the DISPLAY button until the ATV name appears. This is
not the preferred method of bypassing security since this
step also returns all internal parameters and options to their
factory defaults.
The security feature requires that a security code
(“password”) of 1 to 9 digits be entered and verified. The
security lockout does not become active until the menus
have been exited. “Button Lock”, when “On”, will disable all
Front Panel and IR Remote button operations. A long press
of the DISPLAY button will still enable menus.
Advanced VCR Options
The Advanced VCR Options menu is intended for use by knowledgeable users. The programmable
settings in this menu must be properly set for correct performance of your QSP-860MPX. Do not
change these settings unless it is necessary for your installation.
Selecting:
1.
Enters the “Edit Delay Table” menu for
customizing delays for your VCR. See
“Programming a Custom Delay Table”
on page 16.
2.
Toggles Camera Switch Input pulse polarity
between “Negative” and Positive”. The default
is “Negative”.
3.
Allows changing the number of fields output to
the VCR on each occurrence of the “Camera
Switch Input” pulse. The default is 2.
4.
Toggles the VCR Playback Discriminator circuit
On/Off. The playback discriminator should be
left “On” unless you wish to view all recorded
frames of an alarm camera.
5.
Toggles VCR Video Format between “Field” and “Frame” and the factory default is “Field”.
The video format must be the same for record and playback.
Camera Switch Input
For most applications, the VCR delay table setting will provide the simplest setup and operation for
multiplex recording. For advanced applications, such as time of day dependent VCR record speed
settings, an external signal can be used to control the QSP-860MPX. The Camera Switch Input (also
referred to as a “head switch” input) allows the QSP-860MPX to use an external signal from the VCR
to control multiplexing. The QSP-860MPX can be set to use the Camera Switch Input signal through
the “VCR Format” selection (see VCR Set Up on page 8). When the Camera Switch Input signal is
used, the QSP-860MPX will switch to the next camera on the falling (Negative) edge, or the rising
(Positive) edge of the signal based on the “Pulse Polarity” setting in the “Advanced VCR Options”
menu. Note that if the “Cam Sw Input” format is selected, a Camera Switch Input signal
must
be provided to the QSP-860MPX for proper VCR multiplexing to occur.
