SW-D8000U, 16CH. COLOR VIDEO MULTIPLEXER
is the preferred way to repeat a camera because it results in more evenly spaced updates for that
camera. Repeat a camera only if it should normally have priority over other cameras in the list.
A blank entry ends the list. For example a list set to the equivalent of "1 2 3 _ 5 6 7 8 _" will only
record cameras 1, 2 and 3. The first 'blank' after the '3' ends the record list.
Automatic modification of the record list:
The SW-D8000U will automatically modify the record list in the case of alarms and/or activity
detection, according to the parameters selected by the programmer in the ALARM and MOTION
DETECTION menus.
For example, the programmer can select 'INTERLEAVED' recording on
alarm. In this case, a camera in alarm will be recorded in virtual real time.
NOTE:
If alarms and activity detection occur at the same time, the alarm's modifications to the
record list will take precedence and will cancel all modifications made to the record list
via activity detection. (Refer to the Alarm and Motion Detection sections in this manual
for more detail.)
NOTE:
The SW-D8000U does not control the setup of the VCR itself.
ensure that the VCR is correctly programmed and has correct alarm inputs.
NORMAL AND ALARM RECORD SPEEDS
Unless VEXT (see 2.2) is used, it is important that the SW-D8000U be programmed with the same
record speeds as those to which the VCR has been set for NORMAL and ALARM recording.
Time-lapse VCRs are usually capable of dual speed operation, allowing two different speeds of
recording during NORMAL operation and ALARM situations. The ALARM recording speed are
usually the faster speed and normally the fastest that the recorder will go, which is the 2 HR speed
setting for EIA. Normal time-lapse recording is typically set to a slower speed, such as 12 hour to
960 hour, resulting in a tape saving while no alarm events are occurring. If the VCR switch input
(VEXT) is not active (see VCR SETUP sub-menu), then the recording speeds in the SW-D8000U
menus must match those set in the VCR. The factory default setting is 2 hour for NTSC/EIA.
The record speeds can be programmed in the Normal Record Speed and Alarm Record Speed
sections of the Record sub-menu. The factory default settings are 2 hours for Normal and Alarm
EIA. The Normal and Alarm Record Speed menu appears as follows:
The selection of either 'Fields' or 'Hours' will cause the other to change accordingly. Typically the
Hour setting will be used, however it may be necessary to use the 'Field' setting dependent on the
VCR used. Refer to your VCR's recommendations for field delay time to properly set this option.
Indicator:
During recording, the SW-D8000U indicates the speed at which it is recording on Monitor-A. It uses
the same time-format for the indicator as is generally used by time lapse VCRs. For example, R024
will be displayed to indicate that the unit is recording in 24-hour mode. (If the VCR switch input is
active, then R EXT will be displayed.
