Thank you for purchasing Advanced TechnologyAdvancedVideo’sTechnologyQSP-660Video,fourInc.camera Real Time Quad. This instruction manual describes the powerful features of this product for basic and advanced operation. It also covers the installation steps that will allow quick and easy integration into your security system.
The following section provides an overview of the operational features of the QSP-660. If you are familiar with the QSP-660, you should proceed to the Getting Started section on page 4 for step-by-step installation instructions.
OPERATIONAL FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Live Camera Displays
The QSP-660 is initially in the Live Camera Display mode whenever power is applied to the unit. Live cameras can be displayed in quad, PIP, dual PIP, split screen, squish screen, or full frame formats. In addition, any display can be frozen using a front panel button, the IR remote control, or external signal input. In any of these display modes, the unit can be programmed to sequence one or more cameras with a programmable dwell time.
DigiLockä and Playback
In VCR playback mode, digital information is used to compensate for the poor vertical synchronization signals frequently encountered with time lapse VCRs.
The QSP-660 DigiLockä decoding reconstructs the timing so that successfully decoded frames are read into monitor display memory consistently without any jumping, tearing, or other side-effects of poor synchronization.
VCR Bypass
Many VCRs have on-screen programming menus that require a monitor for programming the VCR. The QSP- 660 includes a VCR Bypass feature that facilitates VCR programming by allowing the QSP-660 VCR input (VCR’s video output) to be routed directly to the display monitor.
Advanced Alarm System with Alarm Scheduling
The QSP-660 contains the most advanced and flexible Alarm System available in a video real time quad. The QSP-660 Advanced Alarm System supports External Alarms and Video Loss Alarms. In addition, the QSP-660 alarm system can be enabled and disabled through a 7-day Alarm Schedule and/or a user programmable external Master Enable signal.
The QSP-660 has four alarm channels associated with the four camera inputs. Each alarm channel includes a programmable external alarm and Video Loss Alarm. External alarm inputs are individually selectable for contact closure or opening as well as logic levels (+5V, 0V). Each alarm channel may also be individually selected for enable/disable through the QSP-660 Alarm Schedule. The Alarm Schedule is a 7-day timer schedule with a single ON and OFF time associated with each day of the week. The QSP-660 also has an external input signal that can be selected between picture Freeze and Alarm Master Enable. The Alarm Master Enable signal can be used in conjunction with your burglar alarm control panel so that the alarm control panel can enable or disable the QSP-660 alarm system. For more information on “Alarm Scheduling” see page 13.
Alarm Log and Printing
The QSP-660 has an internal Alarm Log that provides storage for up to 100 alarm events. In addition, its text can be transmitted to the serial port for printing or storage on a host computer. The Alarm Log is a circular storage buffer so that the most recent alarm events are always stored. Alarm event text can also be sent directly to the serial port, when an event occurs, for immediate printing or external processing. Alarm events, which may be printed and stored in the Alarm Log, include any enabled External Alarms or Video Loss Alarms. For instructions on the use of the QSP-660 alarm log and printing features see “Alarm Log” on page 15.
