QSP-860MPX
Your QSP-860MPX has five mode control buttons and eight “camera” buttons which allow easy access to
all modes of operation. The five mode buttons on the left are used to control monitor display operations
and VCR playback. Note that live camera display modes do not affect mutiplex recording. Here is a
summary of each button’s function:
DISPLAY
This button cycles the monitor display through the 3x3 and quad displays in live or VCR playback modes.
In addition, it will return the unit to the 3x3 display mode from any other (non quad) display mode.
Successive button pushes change the display operation from 3x3, to quad page A (cameras 1 through 4),
then to quad page B (cameras 5 through 8), then back to 3x3, and so forth. A push and hold of this button
for approximately 3 seconds will bring up the QSP-860MPX set up main menu.
SEQUENCE/FREEZE
In all display modes, a momentary press on this button will freeze all camera processing to the monitor
display (the multiplex output to the VCR recording is still live during live display modes). A long button
press of approximately 2 seconds will activate the camera sequencing for the present mode. Another
momentary push of this button will deactivate the “freeze” or “sequencing” mode.
PIP
When starting in the 3x3, quad, or full screen camera display in live display or VCR playback modes,
pressing the PIP (Picture-in-Picture) button will cause the unit to switch to the "Single PIP" display.
Additional presses will cycle the unit through "Dual PIP", “Split Screen”, “Squish Screen, "Full Frame" and
back to "Single PIP" displays. How cameras will appear in these displays is programmable (See Display
Sequence Set Up on page 11).
QUADRANT/ZOOM
This button rotates the orientation of the cameras clockwise on the screen into the desired positions in
“PIP”, “Dual PIP”, “Split Screen”, and “Squish Screen” display modes. In VCR playback modes, this button
activates the ZOOM function. The ZOOM function will expand a single quadrant of full frame camera
image. Each successive press of this button will rotate the quadrant which is expanded through each of
the four quadrants, then return to the full screen camera display.
VCR
Pressing this button will switch monitor display from the live camera display mode to the VCR playback
mode. The right hand LED indicator will light to show that VCR playback is now possible. The display will
initially be in 3x3 mode and the monitor screen will show the message “VCR Playback” and be blank until
VCR tape playback contains multiplexed camera images which have been previously recorded from any
Version 2.0 or greater QSP-860MPX or QSP-860SPX. To see non-multiplexer images ( the VCR’s setup
menus) or to troubleshoot VCR tracking or other problems, the “VCR Bypass” function is used.
VCR Bypass Function
The “VCR Bypass” function is activated by a long button press of the VCR button for approximately 3
seconds. While in “VCR Bypass” mode, the QSP-860MPX will pass the VCR output directly to the
monitor. A single push of the VCR button will return the unit to normal VCR playback mode and a second
push will return the unit to live display mode.
CAMERA Buttons (1 Through 8)
The individual camera buttons 1 through 8 are used to select which camera is to be used for display
purposes during live display or VCR playback modes. In addition, Camera buttons 1 through 8 are used in
the QSP-860MPX set up menus.
