OPERATION OF THE UNIT IN THE CASCADE CONNECTION

When connecting multiple units (up to 4 units) in the cas- cade connection, it is possible to monitor images from all of the WJ-HD316A/309A in the cascade connection using a monitor. It is necessary in advance to perform the set- tings to operate the unit in the cascade connection. Refer to a system administrator for further information.

Important:

Video output signal will not be supplied from the MONI- TOR (VGA) connector when connecting the units in the cascade connection.

When audio input signals are supplied to the AUDIO IN connectors, audio will be heard from the respective unit to the AUDIO IN connector.

Important:

This example works only when all the system controllers of the unit address 002 - 004 are the WV-CU650.

If any of the system controller of the unit address 002 - 004 is the WV-CU360C, the camera channel playing on monitor 2 using the system controller of the unit address 001 will be changed when playback operation is performed by the WV-CU360C.

To allow the system controllers of the unit address 002 - 004 to operate only monitor 1 connected to each of the unit, use the WV-CU650 for the unit address 002 - 004.

Operation using the buttons on the front panel

It is possible to operate the unit using the buttons on the front panel as described on pages 18 - 53. When monitor 2 is selected, images will be displayed on monitor 2 connect- ed to the first unit. When monitor 1 is selected, images will be displayed on monitor 1 connected to the unit currently in use.

When operating the buttons on the front panel, only live/recorded images from the cameras connected to the unit currently in use are available. It is impossible to oper- ate live/recorded images from the cameras connected to the other units.
