Features

Unit with built-in, large-volume hard disk drive

This unit realizes high-resolution playback of over 400 horizontal lines thanks to digital technology using JPEG compression. There are 5 user-selectable image quality settings. The main device also features a built-in, largevolume 30GB hard disk for both high reliability and high-speed operation. Users can select from 12 recording intervals ranging from 25 frames-per-second to one frame per 8 seconds, and up to a maximum 2,197,000 frames can be recorded consecutively.

Built-in 9-input multiplexer functions

With the number of operational cameras increasing, the combination of unit and multiplexer has become standard.

In our pursuit of the high-quality image playback characteristic of digital recording and a way to make the recording operation more ideal, we have included a versatile multiplexer capability in this unit.

• Camera switching and split-screen display

Throughout terminals for non-simultaneous connection of 9 cameras. Split-screen modes of Single screen, SPLIT

4, or SPLIT 9 screens for sequential display.

• Timer Program link function

Registration of 3 kinds of camera recording operation patterns.

User-specifiable alteration, through use of the timer recording program, of the number of operational cameras by schedule.

• Electronic display enlargement function

Electronic display enlargement of user-selected areas within the currently displayed image. For example, display enlargement of the cash payment counter using the main unit’s controls.

Non-stop recording capabilities and recording media

To handle applications requiring long-term storage of recorded images, this unit is capable of using supplementary devices to create backups and copies without interrupting hard disk recording. Used in conjunction with the wide selection of media, this unit can handle many different kinds of non-stop recording.

• ARCHIVE media

Backup capability using the recording devices available on the market – such as DDS, DVD-RAM, and MO – as its supplementary peripheral recording device.

• Backup while recording

Backup and copying operations without interrupting the non-stop recording operation.

Convenient maintenance by using the Timer Program to designate the time of simultaneous backup operation; for example, to create a complete backup on a given day of every week.

• Peripheral hard disk expansion

With 9-camera input capability, up to 3 peripheral hard disk drives (max. 132GB) can be added to supplement the built-in hard disk when extended recording time is needed.

User-friendly operation

Because of the internal structural differences between standard Unit and time-lapse VCRs, there has been a weakness in the area of intuitive operability. With consideration to this point, a control panel featuring the same control key layout of time-lapse VCRs and a JOG /SHUTTLE have been used for this unit.

Versatile functions to support surveillance

• Audio recording function

1-channel PCM audio recording mode included. Along with clear surveillance images, clear audio quality of cash register operation, customer conversations, etc.

• Image-alteration recognition function

Processing of each image recorded with this unit using a proprietary image-alteration recognition method.

• Versatile high-speed search operation

Easy searching using a proprietary searching algorithm. Options include searches through alarm input-time list, designated days, skip/index searching, etc.

• Excellent expandability

Standard inclusion of RS-232C interface for remote PC control, and various control terminals. Flexible use even for high-level security systems.

• Pre-alarm Recording function

Recording of images recorded before the alarm sensor detects disturbances. Enhanced surveillance effect through the capture of the decisive moment before the alarm.

• 4-character year display

In consideration of the Y2K problem, a time-date generator using four characters for the year display is included.

Character Search

Characters can be added to both visuals and audio using a PC when the unit is connected to a PC via the RS-232C interface.

These characters will appear on screen during playback. (There is also the possibility that the characters will not be displayed.)

In addition, searches of images incorporating these characters, a process called Character Search, can also be performed.

Searches are carried out by designating the characters associated with a particular image.

• Sample operation

#1: a space

1) Record characters “ABCDEF” and images simultaneously. (On the RS-232C settings screen, set CR/CR•LF to “CR”.)

The following are the two steps required for recording characters:

1 Set the character (or characters string) to be recorded;

2 Record the selected character(s).

By using the CM command, characters which have been set once can be recorded any number of times. To record a different character set, use the CW command.


CW06,ABCDEF CR

CM CR

Replied status code from unit

to a personal computer

RC CR EX CR

Meaning

Sending a command for setting "ABCDEF" .

The unit received a command and executed.

Sending a command to record set characters

(it is able to execute while recording).

The unit executed a command.

RC CR EX CR

CR means a carriage return code (0DH).

• Set the CH. TITLE setting to “NONE” to display characters during segmented display mode.

2) Search for the scene associated with the recorded character set “ABCDEF”. (On the RS-232C settings screen, set CR/

CR•LF to “CR”.)


Replied status code from unit to a personal computer

Meaning

CR1 CR

RC CR EX CR

Display characters on-screen (Playback only).


LF06,ABCDEF CR

Sending a command for serching "ABCDEF" by character search in a direction of the time being.

RC CR EX4 CR

CR means a carriage return code (0DH).


• Character searches can only be performed during stop, pause, and playback modes.

• The unit will fast forward or rewind until it finds the character string, then shift into still frame mode.

• If the unit does not find the character string, it will stop automatically.

• When there are multiple instances of the same character string, repeat character search if the retrieved image is not the desired image.

• Character searches may be time-consuming as the process involves searching through all the data.

• Forward searching is the only option available when using a DDS device for playback.

Simultaneous Backup (Copying) method

In Simultaneous Backup (Copying), images input from the cameras are recorded once on the unit’s hard disk and simultaneously copied from the hard disk onto a removable archive/copying medium. Because images are first recorded onto the hard disk, the unit performs well for Alarm Recording and high-quality images needs, and can use

“blank time” to backup/copy onto the separate medium. In addition, the unit marks the end of backup recording time through the use of the Archive Pointer.

Archive Pointer

The Archive Pointer is used to mark, on the archive medium, the completion of a backup process. For example, 100 hours of data recorded on the unit’s hard disk is to be transferred to a medium with only 80 hours of available recording space. When the backup process is completed, the Archive Pointer will memorize the hard disk’s 80-hour mark.

When the next backup process is initiated, backup will begin at this point.

Copying Device

The copying device is the peripheral device assigned to SCSI ID5. By using the unit’s COPY button, this device can be made to copy (restore) image data recorded over a designated time frame.

Archive Device

The archive device is the peripheral device assigned to SCSI ID4, and performs the following: backup specification using the ARCHIVE button or Timer Program, and backing up of image data using the

Restore function in the Copy settings.

Restore

Restore is the process in which image data transferred to the peripheral recording device is restored on the unit’s hard disk. During the

Restore process, image data currently stored on the unit’s hard disk is completely over-written.

SCSI Interface

The SCSI interface is the connection used expressly for transferring image data between the unit and its peripheral devices. Each peripheral is connected to the unit in a daisy-chain configuration, and is given a unique ID number for detection/identification by the unit.

Relation of recording operation to the number of cameras and recording interval settings

The recording pattern of this unit is as illustrated in the diagram below. Image data input from all the connected cameras is recorded sequentially at a rate of [number of cameras x recording interval].

(Recording interval for each camera is 25F.)

For example, when four cameras are recording at intervals of 1 second, the unit takes four seconds to receive one cycle of image data from the cameras. When this data is played back on a single-screen, the display is refreshed once every four seconds.
