Start of recording

Stop or operating mode off

Connect the [SERIES REC IN] terminal and [COM] terminal on the AG-TL950P rear panel to the external control equipment.

Alarm search/date and time search

Alarm recording or sensor recording should continue for at least 5 seconds.

When recording is performed in the long-time timelapse mode, date/time search will not function correctly if the recording duration is too short.

To ensure that the date/time search operates correctly, the recording duration must be equivalent to at least 5 seconds at Standard (2H) or EP (6H) speed.

(Example) With a 960-hour normal timelapse recording, a recording time of 40 minutes or more is necessary.

Operation

1Set the <SRI/EXT REC> menu switch in <SRI/EXT MODE> to “EXT” to use the external recording function.

Use the <EXT REC END> menu switch to select the mode engaged when externally activated recording ends.

When set to “NORMAL”, the VCR enters the Stop mode.

When set to “POWER OFF”, the operating mode is turned off.

2Press the [MENU] button to set the on-screen display to the time/date display.

3Load a cassette with a safety tab in place and engage the Stop mode or turn the operating mode off.

When a VCR activation signal (ground input) is input to the rear panel’s [SERIES REC IN] terminal, recording starts automatically and continues for as long as the activation signal is input.

When the activation signal stops, the Stop mode is engaged or the operating mode is turned off (according to menu switch setting).

When the activation signal is input again, recording starts.

In addition to the Stop mode and the operating mode off status, the external recording function also operates in the Pause mode.

If recording is already in progress when the VCR activation signal is input, recording continues and stops when the activation signal is no longer input.

Note:

When the TIMER indication lights or the menu switch <REPEAT REC> in the <VTR MODE> menu is set to “ON”, externally activated recording is not executed.

To execute repeat recording via the external recording function, set <REPEAT REC> to “OFF” and <AUTO REW> to “ON”.
