PREFACE

The WJ-HD500A Digital Disk Recorder is a combination of a Hard Disk Recorder with a Video Multiplexer; it is able to record the images of up to sixteen sequentially controlled video inputs on the built-in hard disk.

A multi-recording function records simultaneously several images from various applications; this enables you to obtain reliable records by selecting the application which is best suited for your purpose.

FEATURES

•One recorder can handle sixteen video inputs, divid- ed into four groups, corresponding to various appli- cations.

Dividing the sixteen video inputs into four groups makes it possible to record several images simultane- ously, depending on the system requirements, such as varied input, image quality, recording time, etc.

•Reliable recording of events

Obtain reliable records of important events by selecting the recording mode best suited.

There are three recording modes: One Shot, Multi Shot and Time Lapse Recording.

•Easy image search

Three search modes for quick and easy images search: rotating the shuttle ring, recording list and thumbnail display.

•Other handy recording functions

•Use the program timer to preset the recording time and mode for each day of the week.

•Emergency recording is given priority to record all video inputs in Time Lapse Recording while the input is received from an outboard device.

•Connect the extension units in series for uninterrupted recording when the disk is full.
