Panasonic WJ-HD616K, WJ-HD716K manual Cascading connection of multiple recorders

Cascading connection of multiple recorders

Up to 5 recorders can be connected in cascading connection.

When connecting recorders in cascading connection, images displayed on Monitor 2 connected to the second and subsequent recorders can be switched and displayed on Monitor 2 connected to the first recorder.

Use the cascade input connector, cascade output connector (monitor output connector 2 is provided as the dual purpose con- nector) and DATA port.

Cables are to be connected differently between when using HDMI cables and when using BNC cables.

Important:

•When multiple recorders are connecting in cascading connection, select "On" for the "Cascade" setting on the [Cascade] tab under the "Display" page of the setup menu. (☞ Page 91)

•When connecting in cascading connection, all cables used to connect to the monitor connector shall be HDMI cables only or

BNC cables only. Do not use them together.

•Do not assign the same unit address to two or more different PS·Data compatible devices.

•Set the unit address (system) of the recorders to "1" to "5".

•In cascading connection, the time of recorders is automatically adjusted to that of the recorder whose unit address (system) is set to "1".

•When connecting in cascading connection, all recorders shall be WJ-HD616K.
