An event may be programmed to reset automatically or it may be programmed to reset only when the operator activates the alarm reset input.
  • Page 77 HRDV Reference Guide There are two reset types that determine how events are cleared: • In automatic mode, the event is reset as soon as the input signal returns to inactive. • In timed mode, the alarm is active for the interval set. In this case, after the event timer expires, the event must be deactivated before another timed mode alarm event can be recognized.

    Video Formats and Digital Video The NTSC definition of video black is not standardized. In North America it is defined as 7.5 IRE units and anything below that level is considered black. In Japan video black is defined as 0 IRE. An IRE unit is 1% of the voltage difference from black to white. Thus 100 IRE is completely white and 0 IRE is completely black.

    HRDV Reference Guide The HRDV16/8 has inputs for both composite video and S-Video. You may only hook up one camera to each input, either composite or S-Video. You can hook up different types of cameras to different inputs. When you play back data, a composite output or an S-Video output may be used to send a signal to your composite or S-Video monitor.
