7.1 System4 Special Operating Features

Please refer to the OPERATING THE LTC 2600 MULTIPLEXER section in this manual for the
standard operating features available to all multiplexer models. The following sections describe
those operating features/modes unique to System4 multiplexers—this information is intended to
be supplemental to the information provided in the OPERATING THE LTC 2600 section.
Two Output Relays for Actions/Alarms
System4 triplex multiplexers provide two output relays for actions or alarms. These relays may be programmed
through the ACTION SETUP or ALARM SETUP menus in ADVANCED SETUP.
Simultaneous Record to Two VCRs (See Appendix B for an illustration of this system configuration):
System4 triplex models allow the following:
• Display of full screen live video on Monitor A.
• Record the selected camera pictures (as defined in the VCR1 RECORD LIST) to VCR 1.
• Record the selected camera pictures (as defined in the VCR2 RECORD LIST) to VCR 2.
Two VCRs are required for this operation—one to record the output from the VCR OUT connector and one to
record the output from the MON B connection (Monitor B becomes a VCR output for VCR 2). By using two
recorders, customized record lists can be generated for each VCR. For example, while the first VCR is recording
normally, the second VCR can be set up to record only alarm or action video pictures.
To program the unit to operate in this mode, press ALT
multiplexer to send video to both VCRs. Pressing ALT
will not be available on MON B if being used as an alternate VCR OUTPUT.
Simultaneous Playback plus Multiscreen Display:The System4 triplex models allow live pictures to be
displayed on Monitor B in either FULL, QUAD, or MULTI screen mode and playback recorded camera pictures to
be displayed on Monitor A in either FULL, QUAD, or MULTI screen mode.
Simultaneous Playback on Monitor A and Monitor B: The System4 triplex models allow simultaneous
playback on both Monitors A and B of multiple recorded images. Monitor A is selectable for any screen display
mode, while Monitor B can select any of the recorded cameras in full screen display only. To perform simultaneous
playback, press ALT , then 2, then PLAY.
Time/Date Search on VCR Analog Tapes: Select the quick key sequence "ALT-1-VCR-PLAY," and the playback
search menu window will be displayed.
NOTE: If playback is not selected or a VCR is not connected to the RS232 port, a "NO PLAYBACK" error
message will be displayed and the playback search menu will not start.
The search time and date will reflect the last time and date read from the previously recorded tape.
