VEXT Pulse Out: The Video External Pulse Connection (VEXT) simplifies multiplexer operation by automatically synchronizing the multiplexer with the DVR1.
The DVR1 sends a VEXT pulse to the multiplexer, indicating that it is ready to record the next image. The multiplexer responds by sending the next image to the Video Input on the DVR1.
The VEXT connection is especially beneficial for units configured with dual record speeds (Normal and Alarm).
NOTE: Use of the VEXT connection is highly recommended when connecting the unit to a multiplexer.
