Sequencing Cameras
The MUX-1602C allows sequential display of cameras on the
Main
Monitor in any available format. In the full screen
format, all
cameras can be sequenced full screen. In
multicamera formats,
cameras not already displayed can be
sequenced in the lower right
window. Cameras are sequenced in
camera number order at a rate
determined by the Global Dwell
Time setting (see
MUX-1602C Setup).
To Start Camera Sequencing:
1.
Select the desired format.
2.
Press the
seq
button. The
seq
light comes on. The MUX-
1602C
switches cameras in the lower right window of the
display (or
full screen) at the current Global Dwell Time
rate.
To Stop Camera Sequencing:
Press the
seq button again. The
seq light goes out. Sequencing
stops with the current camera displayed in the lower right window
(or full screen).
Videotape Operations
The MUX-1602C allows recording of multiple cameras onto a single
videotape. This “encoding” function is performed in the
background, and does not interfere with other operations. All
MUX-1602C features remain available while a recording is being
made.
Likewise, tape playback does not affect recording. It is
possible to
review a previously recorded tape while recording
continues on a
second VCR. See
Simultaneous Record and Play
for details.
VCR Setup
For optimum tape recording and playback, the MUX-1602C
must be
correctly configured for use with the VCR. This is
done by
changing settings in the setup menu system.
Three setup options affect camera recording:
•
VCR Record Time
•
VCR Alarm Record Time
•
Number of VCRs
Refer to
MUX-1602C Setup
for a description of VCR related
menus
and their use.
