Features

DX-TL4516U is a digital recorder that is equipped with HDD as its main memory and 16ch triplex multiplexer. Addition to these features, this system has a very sophisticated video signal and data processing technique that provides high quality picture, stable operation and reliability. The graphical user interface and pointing devices make the operation very easy and comfortable in live monitoring and also in the handling of data from recording to export. The system offers excellent performance and has features to suit many video surveillance applications.

Refresh rates of 960pps*/system

Thanks to the newly developed multiplexing circuit, every camera can be viewed at 60 pps refresh rate in all screen formats.

pps* : picture per second

Triplex

User can view live and playback pictures on the same monitor in all screen multi-split layouts without disrupting recording.

Dual Multiplexer Outputs

The DX-TL4516U has two video outputs (Output A / B), and both of the outputs can show single-screen, 4, 9, 10, 13 and 16 split-screen, Switched Cameras, Alarmed Camera in live mode and Recorded pictures. On Screen Menu are shown only on monitor Output A. It is also possible to view playback pictures of different cameras at the same time with these two video outputs.

Covert Camera Function

It is possible to hide pictures of selected cameras that are installed in sensitive areas and should only be viewed by authorized personnel. It can be switched by <Multiplexer Setting>.

GUI

MENU, GUI (Graphical User Interface), guides the operators to their desired menu pages quickly. If the users need additional information on MENU functions, just press the HELP key and instructions will appear on screen. The menu supports English,

French, and Spanish. Function keys on the front panel or USB mouse can operate the menu on the DX-TL4516U.

Recording rate up to 120 pps/system

Because of the new recording circuit and compression chip, the maximum recording speed is 120 pps in total, this means that the system can record pictures with speed of up to 7.5 pps on all 16 channels. With this speed recorded pictures are seen by the eye as real-time.

JPEG2000

The system uses JPEG2000 compression. JPEG2000 is the standard and ideal compression method for still pictures.

Because pictures are compressed to a user defined file size one by one, the estimated recording time calculated by the system automatically is very accurate. Special playback search functions and transmission over network also benefit from this compression method. File sizes for each picture quality are minimized to improve storage efficiency over previous models.

Individual Recording Setting

Recording speed and picture quality (picture file size) can be set for each camera individually, it is also possible to set alarm recording setting in addition to normal recording setting. By adjusting the recording speed and picture quality, it is possible to use HDD storage space efficiently.

Audio Recording

Audio input is featured. The audio such as cash register operation and conversation with customers can be recorded clearly together with the monitoring pictures.

Copy

User can make a copy of recorded picture data by using built in CD/DVD Drive on the DX-TL4516U. Or, also you can copy the data to other digital media such as HDD and USB Memory through Serial Bus Interface.

[Normal recording settings] step

1. Follow the steps 1 and 2 on page 91 to set the recording camera, frame or field recording, recording rate, and picture grade for normal recording.

After executing the camera check, the recording setting is made only for the camera numbers with the video signal input when using auto or easy setting.

<Estimated Recording Time>

• The continuous recordable time depending on the recording rate and the recording picture grade of normal recording is displayed as <Estimated Recording

Time> on the bottom of the preview screen for normal recording.

• When the main device is partitioned, <Estimated Recording Time> shows the estimated recordable time for normal recording.

[Alarm recording settings] step 2. Set the frame or field recording, maximum recording rate per camera, and picture grade for alarm recording.

Easy: Sets the frame or field recording, maximum recording rate per camera, and picture grade for alarm recording to the same settings for all the camera numbers. When the recording rate is set to “– – –” for all the camera numbers, this disables alarm recording. Set the desired settings and then select “Execute.”

• The preview screen appears automatically when the easy setting is executed.

Manual: Sets the frame or field recording, maximum recording rate, and picture grade for alarm recording individually for each camera number. When setting “– – –” for the recording rate, alarm recording is disabled for that camera number.

• Select “View” and display the preview screen to check the settings you have set.

The recording rate set for normal and alarm recordings are the maximum number of frames. The number may decrease depending on the number of cameras used for recording.

The field recording and frame recording can be mixed.

However, when the total number of fields and frames becomes nearly 120, the recording may not follow the setting. The priority of the recording rate setting is, frame recording > field recording > large recording rate > small recording rate > small camera number > large camera number.

Make sure to check the settings in the preview screen after making the recording settings.

When the picture is recorded at the maximum recording rate, a picture from the camera that is not currently used for recording cannot be checked through communication.

When setting the frame recording, the recording rate display in the preview screen turns green.

The recording rate display turns red when the total value exceeds 120 pps.

step

3. Select motion detection recording.

Alarm: Starts alarm recording when the motion is detected.

Normal: Starts normal recording when the motion is detected. The recording is executed at the picture grade and the recording rate set for normal recording. The recording is not registered in the alarm list.

Data is recorded in normal recording area when the main device is partitioned.

Set alarm trigger on step 8 to “MD-A,” “MD-B,”

“External / MD-A,” or “External / MD-B.”

In case of recording pattern A, you can start normal recording by pressing the REC/REC STOP button while the unit does not perform motion detection recording.

In case of timer operation, normal recording is not performed and the unit turns to stand-by mode for motion detection. Recording is performed only by the camera which detects motion.

For normal recording due to motion detection, <Alarm

Camera Setting> is not used and recording is performed only by the camera of which the motion is detected.

For alarm recording due to ground of rear terminal, recording is performed by the cameras set in <Alarm

Camera Setting>.

When motion detection recording is set to “Normal,”

<Alarm Camera Setting> cannot be set. To change

<Alarm Camera Setting>, switch the motion detection recording to “Alarm” once.

When you set the alarm recording trigger to “External

& MD,” normal recording due to motion detection is performed only during the rear terminal is grounded.

step

4. Set the alarm mode.

Alarm CH: When alarm signal is input, performs alarm recording only by the cameras set for alarm recording. When there is an input of alarm signals from multiple sensors, alarm recording is performed by all the cameras to which alarm signals are input.

When alarm recording starts during normal recording, normal recording pauses while alarm recording is performed.

Alarm Plus: When an alarm signal is input during normal recording, performs alarm recording by the camera and the recording rate set for alarm recording while all the other cameras perform recording at the normal recording rate. The available recording rate for alarm and normal recordings is up to 120 pps in total.

When you have set alarm recording mode to Alarm Plus and then change the alarm recording rate to the value exceeding the available rate, alarm mode changes to

Alarm CH automatically.

step 5. Set the pre-alarm recording time in “Pre-Alarm

Duration.”

0 sec: Does not execute the pre-alarm recording.

• The pre-alarm recording time display turns red when the actual pre-alarm recording time becomes shorter than the set time depending on the alarm recording settings.

When the pre-alarm recording time setting exceeds the maximum pre-alarm recordable time, the pre-alarm recording time display turns red. Set the time within the maximum recordable time. You can use the recording rate or picture grade for adjusting the pre-alarm recording time. Even if the time is set exceeding the maximum recordable time, the actual pre-alarm recording is performed for the maximum recordable time.

When the alarm area is set, the alarm recording and prealarm recording are made in the alarm area. To playback the recorded data, set the <Select Source Device> ( page 39) to “Alarm.”

In the case that the alarm recording mode is set to “Alarm

CH,” recording with all the camera numbers set for alarm recording may not be possible when pre-alarm recording is carried out during normal recording.

To perform pre-alarm recording by all the camera numbers set for alarm recording, use alarm recording mode without using normal recording. To perform with normal recording, set “Alarm Mode” to “Alarm Plus.”

Pre-alarm recording is carried out at the recording rate of normal or alarm recording set for that time period and with the picture grade set for alarm recording.

Recording time for pre-alarm recording is based on the alarm recording setting. For pre-alarm recording which is started during normal recording, the recording time may be shorter than the specified time depending on the normal recording setting.

step 6. Set the alarm recording time in “Post-Alarm

Duration.”

Manual: Continues alarm recording until the

ALARM IN terminal is not grounded.

step

7. S e t t h e r e c o r d i n g c a m e r a f o r e a c h s e n s o r connected.

• Select “View” and display the overview screen to check the settings of all the sensors.

The multiple camera numbers can be set for one sensor input.

step 8. Set the trigger of alarm recording for each sensor connected.

External & MD-A: Starts alarm recording when the motion A is detected while the ALARM IN terminal is grounded.

External & MD-B: Starts alarm recording when the motion B is detected while the ALARM IN terminal is grounded.

External: Starts alarm recording only when the

ALARM IN terminal is grounded.

External / MD-A: Starts alarm recording when the

ALARM IN terminal is grounded or the motion A is detected.

External / MD-B: Starts alarm recording when the

ALARM IN terminal is grounded or the motion B is detected.

MD-A: Starts alarm recording only when the motion A is detected.

MD-B: Starts alarm recording only when the motion B is detected.

When setting the trigger to “MD-A,” “MD-B,” “External /

MD-A,” “External / MD-B,” “External & MD-A,” or “External

& MD-B,” the motion detection function becomes active immediately after exiting <Set Recording Pattern A

(Normal/Timer) to D (Timer)>. To stop the input of alarm signals, set the “Alarm Input” setting in the <Recording> menu to “Off.” step 9. Set the PTZ camera preset for the sensor of which trigger is set to “External” on step 8.

Preset 1 to 16: When the ALARM IN terminal corresponding to the sensor is grounded, the angle of corresponding camera is adjusted to the preset point set on this step. (The camera angle is not adjusted when the trigger is set to the item other than “External.”)

– – –: Does not adjust the camera angle.

• Select “View” and display the overview screen to check all the settings set on steps 8 and 9.

Alarm recording

• When the alarm recording or the emergency recording is executed during timer recording, the end time of the timer recording is extended until the alarm recording or the emergency recording is completed.

• When the alarm recording trigger is set to “External /

MD-A” or “External / MD-B,” the priority is given to the latest alarm input.

• When the alarm recording trigger is set to “External /

MD-A” or “External / MD-B,” and the alarm recording time is set to “Manual,” the alarm recording stops 2 seconds after the input of motion detection even if the ALARM IN terminal is being grounded. (When the alarm recording time for this recording according to the motion detection is set to “Manual,” the actual recording time is 2 seconds.)

• When power failure occurs during alarm recording or emergency recording, the alarm recording or the emergency recording is cancelled after returning from the power failure.

• When alarms are input for multiple sensors at the same time, not all the alarms may be registered to the alarm list.

Frame recording and field recording

• In NTSC signal system, one picture is consist of two screens, odd and even. The unit records only the screens of odd in case of field recording. In case of frame recording, both of the screens (odd and even) are recorded.

• Frame recording is suitable for storing the data in the high picture quality, however, the data capacity is twice as large as that of the field recording of the same picture grade (1 frame = 2 fields). The picture may be looked like vibrating because one picture is consisted by two screens.

Alarm Input

This item is used to stop the alarm input manually. When setting “Alarm Input” to “Off,” the alarm input is stopped for

5 minutes. To set the <Recording> menu while the alarm recording occurs continuously, stop the alarm input first to stop recording. “Alarm Input” function is available for ALARM

IN terminal on the rear panel, motion detection, emergency recording, and communication port. To cancel the prohibition of alarm input manually, set it to “On” and then exit the

<Recording> menu. It is cancelled automatically after 5 minutes.

Emergency Recording Setup

This item is used to set the emergency recording settings.

When the EMERGENCY terminal is grounded by the alarm sensor while both of the MAIN switch on the rear panel and the POWER button on the front panel are turned ON, emergency recording starts automatically overriding all the other settings even during timer recording or the unit is in stop mode.

Emergency recording is not performed while the MAIN switch or POWER button is turned OFF or while timer recording stand-by mode.

The setting of the <Recording> menu cannot be changed during normal recording or alarm recording. To change setting during recording, stop recording in case of normal recording. In case of alarm recording, when the

“Alarm Input” in the <Recording> menu is set to “Off,” the alarm input is not accepted for 5 minutes. When you stop recording during this time, the setting change of the

<Recording> menu is available.

step


• The preview screen appears.

Emergency recording

1) The picture grade is “L6-30KB” and the recording rate is set to the value obtained by dividing the maximum emergency recording rate by the number of specified cameras.

When the LPA area is set in the main device, the emergency recording data is stored in the LPA area and is automatically locked in 512 MB unit including the emergency recording data in order to prevent overwriting the data.

In LPA area, the data is always recorded at the rate set for alarm recording regardless of an input of the emergency signal. Therefore, when the emergency recording is started from the mid-part of the data block, the data recorded before the ground of the EMERGENCY terminal is stored in the locked area along with the emergency recording.

When you set the long pre-alarm recording time without setting the LPA area, long pre-alarm recording is carried out using the internal memory for pre-alarm recording, so long pre-alarm recording is performed for the short time period regardless of the setting.

When emergency recording is carried out using the LPA area, data is not stored chronologically and alarms are listed out of sequence. Be careful when searching for the desired picture.

When power failure occurs during emergency recording, the emergency recording is cancelled after returning from the power failure.

When emergency recording is carried out during timer recording, the end time of the timer recording is extended until the emergency recording is completed. The timer recording is finished after completing the emergency recording.

2) Cameras to be used

Cameras which are set in <Emergency Recording Setup> are used.

3) During emergency recording:

• “E-REC” is displayed on the screen in red.

• The camera number buttons and camera number display on the screen which are used for emergency recording flash.

4) Emergency recording is registered in the alarm list and displayed in magenta.

Long pre-alarm recording

Long pre-alarm recording is a function to perform pre-alarm recording for a maximum of 60 minutes before the emergency recording is started.

To set LPA area, set the desired capacity in “Long Pre-

Alarm Area” ( page 77 “Change Partition Setting”).

When the long pre-alarm recording is started during normal recording, not all the camera numbers set for long pre-alarm recording may be used for recording.

To perform the long pre-alarm recording by all the camera numbers set for emergency recording: i) To perform with normal recording:

Set all the desired cameras to normal recording setting. Long pre-alarm recording is performed at the picture grade of “L6-30KB” regardless of the setting and at the recording rate set for normal recording.

ii) To perform with normal and alarm recordings:

Set the “Alarm Mode” to “Alarm Plus.”

(Normal recording) Set all the desired cameras to normal recording setting. Long pre-alarm recording is performed at the picture grade of “L6-30KB” regardless of the setting and at the recording rate set for normal recording.

(Alarm recording) During alarm recording, long prealarm recording is performed at the picture grade of

“L6-30KB” regardless of the setting. And for only the cameras used for alarm recording, long pre-alarm recording is performed at the alarm recording rate.

iii) To perform with alarm recording:

Set the “Alarm Mode” to “Alarm Plus.”

Long pre-alarm recording is performed at the picture grade of “L6-30KB” regardless of the setting and at the recording rate set for alarm recording.

Long pre-alarm recording is executed with the recording rate of the normal or alarm recording set for that time period and with the picture grade of “L6-30KB.”

Cautionary notes for long pre-alarm recording

• When long pre-alarm recording time is set, the unit records the data in LPA area at all times. Set the recording rate and picture grade carefully when long prealarm recording is performed simultaneously with normal or alarm recording. Depending on the setting, picture may be missed during recording. Particularly, in case of recording for serial bus HDD, set the recording rate not to exceed 120 pps.

• The recording for LPA area is carried out for the longer time than the specified because the data in the LPA area is processed in 512 MB unit.

• In the LPA area, alarm list or recording data may not be stored in the chronological sequence. The easier way to search the desired data is, before searching the data, search the oldest recording data using <Search by Time and Date>.

• In the LPA area, all the existed recording data is deleted and overwritten when the capacity becomes full. It is recommended to make copy of the important data to the other medium using the function such as copy 2.

To start copy from the oldest data, set the copy start time to the start time of recording which can be checked in

<Search by Time and Date>. Copy is carried out from the the oldest data.

• In the LPA area, data is recorded at all times and when the emergency is input, the data is locked to prevent overwriting.

For example, when the data A1 to A3 and B1 to B3 are recorded in the first and second rounds of recording respectively, the chronological sequence of the recording data is: A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 B3.

However, storing order of the data on HDD is: B1 A1

A2 B2 A3 B3, and the data is played back or listed in alarm list in that order.

Normal: Records pictures and audio during recording (normal, alarm, or emergency recording).

Alarm: Records pictures and audio during alarm or emergency recording.

To record audio, the camera number 1 must be set to record. The camera number 1 corresponds to AUDIO IN 1 terminal.

When the recording mode changes from normal recording to alarm recording, or from alarm recording to normal recording, audio may be cut off temporarily. This is normal and not a malfunction.

When alarm area is set in the main device and “Audio

Recording Mode” is set to “Alarm,” the audio is recorded in the alarm area with the picture. ( page 77)

To copy the recorded audio as the digital data, copy the picture of camera number 1.

You can hear live audio any time except during playback.

The live audio switches to playback audio when you start playback or triplex playback.

3. Set the sensitivity of detecting the changes of loaded picture.

• The sensitivity is divided into 5 levels of difference in the change of brightness.

When the sensitivity is set to “High,” the motion detection may become too sensitive and it may detect even flickering of the fluorescent lighting.

step

4. Set the motion threshold.

• Set the minimum number of areas for starting the motion detection operation from the number of active areas within the detection area.

• Motion detection function operates when detecting the change that exceeds the number of areas set on this step.

Set “Motion Threshold” to the number less than that of the active areas in the detection area. The motion detection function does not operate when setting “Motion Threshold” to a value exceeds that number.

step

5. Set the reference interval time.

• This item is used to set the detecting interval. By setting this item, the motion detection works for the objects which move both fast and slowly. Set the longer interval for the object which moves slower and the shorter interval for the object moves faster.

step

6. Test the motion detection function on the condition you have set.

• The color of the area detecting motion changes.

step

7. To copy another motion detection settings, use

“Same as settings.”

• Select “Copy Motion A” to copy the setting for the same camera number of Motion A.

• Select “Copy Motion B” to copy the setting for the same camera number of Motion B.

When change is detected continuously, some functions such as setting change are not available because alarm recording is also continuously performed. In this case, motion detection function can be forcibly stopped for five minutes by setting the “Alarm Input” in the <Recording> menu to “Off.” You can change the settings by stopping recording during that period. This stopping is automatically released five minutes after the operation, and registered in the system log list. When you cancel the prohibition of alarm input manually, set it to “On.”

When both of the ALARM IN terminal on the rear panel and the motion detection are set for the alarm recording trigger, the ALARM IN terminal on the rear panel is always given priority when both of the signals are input at the same time.

The M-DET indicator lights up while the motion detection function is in operation.

The motion detection of this unit may not operate correctly depending on the conditions of input video signals especially when the “Sensitivity” is set to high setting. Be careful when connecting to a system, etc. that is set to notify the alarm when the motion detection function of this unit is operated.

To perform alarm recording for motion detection, set trigger for alarm recording to “MD-A,” “MD-B,” “External /

MD-A,” “External / MD-B,” “External & MD-A” or “External

& MD-B,” and set alarm recording rate of the corresponding camera number to other than “– – –.”

The motion detection of this unit works by detecting the changes of brightness. So, the malfunction due to the change caused by the lightning or sunlight may occur, and motion detection may not work on the conditions such as the colors of the background and the clothes are the same.

Be sure to test this function sufficiently before operation.

When the alarm of motion detection is input quite frequently, operational speed of the functions such as alarm recording, communication, and screen display may become slow. It is recommended to use normal recording for the place where the motion is constantly detected.

The motion detection is performed even during PTZ operation.

Functions of the unit in case of power failure

Power failure compensation circuit

The unit is equipped with an internalized power failure compensation circuit. When the unit has been charged for 48 hours (full), the date, time, timer record settings, and menu settings are kept up to 1 month without power. The accuracy of the time declines if the power plug is not connected to the wall outlet for and extensive period. In this case, it is recommended to check the present time setting.

Power failure reset recording

If there is a power failure during recording, the recording resumes after the power is restored. If there is a power failure during timer recording, the recording resumes after the power is restored when the present time is within the set time period of the timer. For alarm recording, recording will stop even the present time is within the set recording time.

When the power failure occurs during recording, the recorded data may be damaged or playback of data may become impossible.

When the power failure occurs during recording, the picture and audio of up to 6 MB just before the power failure are not recorded. When the pre-alarm recording time is set to other than 0 second, picture and audio of up to 32 MB are not recorded.

When the power failure occurs during alarm or emergency recording, alarm or emergency recording is cancelled after the power is restored.

“REC ON” is registered in the system log list when the recording is started, but it is not registered when the recording is resumed after a power failure.

The playback picture at the start position where recording is resumed after a power failure may be disturbed and the search function may not operate properly for that position.

Log function when power failure occurs while the unit is in operation or the MAIN switch on the rear of the unit is turned OFF

In the event of power failure or if the MAIN switch on the rear of the unit is turned OFF when the power is supplied, up to 1000 items (including the time of failure and warning log displays as well as other items) are saved in the <System

Log List>. ( page 73)

RESET button

When you press the RESET button on the rear panel with a ballpoint pen, etc., the microcomputer of this unit is reset and the power turns off.

A measuring for setting the partition capacity

Refer to the example below when calculating the alarm recording area capacity.

(Example:)

Alarm recording time is set to 15 seconds.

The number of alarm recordings is 80 times per day.

Alarm recording data is stored for 3 months.

Picture grade for alarm recording is set to “L6-30KB” (30 kbytes), recording rate is set to “30 pps.”

1) While the partition function is set to off (alarm area is set to 0%), the estimated recordable time is 76 hours when operating with one camera at the recording rate of

“30 pps” and at the picture grade of “L6-30KB.” (Set the normal recording rate using “Manual,” and check the estimated recording time in the overview screen.)

2) The alarm recording time per day is:

15 seconds multiplied by 80 times makes 1200 seconds

(20 minutes).

3) The alarm recording time per month is:

20 minutes multiplied by 30 days makes 600 minutes (10 hours).

4) As the estimated recordable time is 76 hours;

Divide 10 hours by 76 hours makes 13.2 %.

5) Alarm area capacity is 20 % with some spare capacity.

This example shows the reference when the alarm mode is set to “Alarm CH.” Adjust the partition capacity after the actual operation.

When the data of the camera number which is not corresponded to the alarm sensor number is copied to the external media, the alarm list of that data is not exactly similar to that of listed in the digital recorder.

When the detection of the motion or the ground of the

ALARM IN terminal occurs numerously at the same time, not all the start times of the alarm recording may be registered in the alarm list. In this case, the sensor of the lowest number is registered in the list.

In the alarm list, items with the ALARM IN terminal grounded are indicated in orange, items that were detected with motion are indicated in white, items with the EMERGENCY terminal grounded are indicated in magenta, and items that were input with alarm signal via communication are indicated in green.

To clear the alarm list, erase the HDD data of which the alarm recording is recorded ( page 79). Beware that executing it erases all the data of the HDD containing the picture data.

Alarm list search is not performed if there are no index signals.

When alarm recording (emergency recording) is started while displaying the <Alarm List>, you must first exit the

<Alarm List> and then display it again. The new item is added to the list. In this case, you may have to specify the date and time to be searched again.

For alarm list search of LPA area, the list from the start point of media is displayed when selecting “To latest,” and the list from the end point of media is displayed when selecting “ To oldest.”
