Cascading connection using HDMI cables

Important:

Up to 5 recorders and a single system controller can be connected.

Connect the recorder whose unit address (system) is even number to the cascade input 1 connector of the first recorder.

Connect the recorder whose unit address (system) is odd number to the cascade input 2 connector of the second recorder. Connect the fourth and fifth recorders to the cascade input 1 connectors of the second and third recorders respectively.

Note:

Connection using the DATA port (with RS485 cables) can be made in the same manner as connection using the BNC cables

(+ page 37).

When connecting using the HDMI cables, audio will be output together (However, audio will not be output from the audio output connector (RCA pin jack).)

In cascading connection, it may take time to change the monitor display.
