Menu switch setting

Example of settings when alarm recording is performed using an external switcher.

DVR MODE

[REC QUALITY] set to “N” [EXT SWITCHER] set to “ON”

ALARM/SENSOR MODE

[REC MODE] set to “ALARM”

[REC DURATION] set to “MANUAL” when the alarm time is set with the switcher

This unit continues recording for about 5 seconds after the alarm duration set with the switcher has passed.

Reference: “5-3 Menu switch details” on page 19.

Caution:

Before connecting or disconnecting any equipment, turn the power of all connected equipment OFF.

When a field switcher is used, picture quality will be degraded if [REC QUALITY] is set to "H". In some cases, the specified camera may not be used or the playback picture may move up and down.

As the camera switching signal is recorded, the picture on the lower section of the monitor screen may be missing. To record the external switcher’s on-screen display, set the display to the upper section of the screen.

Memo:

Select the camera with the switcher.

The monitor picture may not be switched during jog/ shuttle operation and skip search operation. This is because the playback camera number is different from the camera number selected with the switcher. To display the picture from the selected camera on the monitor, press the [PLAY] button.
