Important! To allow automatic adjustment of the unit
to the video standard of the first video
input, the signal must be available there
before the unit is supplied with power.
After connecting the unit to the power supply, a short
acoustic signal sounds. After approx. 2 s, the proces-
sor displays the quad picture of the operating mode

"Normal".

During initial operation, the preprogrammed basic
settings made in the factory are effective (see table
"Presettings" in chapter 5.2.12). To change the settings
of the unit, please read chapter 5.2 "Changing the set-
tings of the unit".

5.1 Operating modes

5.1.1 Normal
The operating mode "Normal" is preset as soon as the
unit is connected to the power supply. The cameras
connected to the unit are displayed as quad picture
(display of quadrants). The LED at the QUAD button
lights up. If there is a camera input without a camera
connected, the assigned quadrant is dark and the sym-
bol is inserted in this quadrant. In addition, the LED
above the corresponding frame button 1 to 4 flashes if
no video signal is available at the video input.
By presssing one of the buttons "1" ( ) to "4" ( ),
the unit switches to frame display of the corresponding
camera.
Note: Operation of the unit in the operating mode "Nor-
mal" does not affect video recording. Independent of
the selected monitor display, the signal at the connec-
tion QUAD OUT (14) is always a quad picture.

5.1.2 Automatic (AUTO)

This operating mode is selected by pressing the AUTO
button (7) and starts the automatic sequential switching
according to the picture sequence and dwell time se-
lected in the settings of the unit. Detailed information
concerning sequence settings can be found in chapters
5.2.3 and 5.2.7. The LED above the AUTO button lights
up together with the respective LED for the camera pic-
ture currently displayed. Camera inputs without valid
video signal are automatically skipped during repro-
duction of the selected sequential switching.

5.1.3 Still picture (FREEZE)

This operating mode is selected by pressing the button
VCR PLAY/FREEZE (8). The LED above the button
lights up. Still pictures are only possible in the quad
mode, therefore the unit automatically changes to the
display of quadrants when this operating mode is
called. Via the buttons 1 to 4, the display of the qua-
drants can be "frozen" as still picture. During the still
picture, the LED above the corresponding button lights
up. As long as the still picture is displayed, the symbol
"Z" in its quadrant keeps flashing. By repeated actua-
tion of this button, the picture is "unfrozen", i. e. the cur-
rent camera picture is displayed again. By actuating
14
the button VCR PLAY/FREEZE (8) once again, the
unit returns to the operating mode "Normal" with the
selected display of the quadrants.

5.1.4 Reproduction (VCR PLAY)

When pressing the button VCR PLAY/FREEZE (8) for
a long time (> 2 s), the video processor is switched to
the reproduction mode. In this operating mode, the
LED above the button flashes. Pictures can be dis-
played which are just being recorded or reproduced by
the video recorder. If one of the buttons 1 to 4 is
pressed, the corresponding quadrant is enlarged to
frame. Thus, individual quadrants can be viewed more
precisely during reproduction of a quadrant display.
The LED above the corresponding button lights up.
When pressing the button QUAD (6), the whole picture
is displayed. To quit this operating mode, press the
button VCR PLAY/FREEZE (8) once again. The unit
then returns to the operating mode "Normal" with the
selected display of the quadrants.

5.2 Changing the settings of the unit

To match the video processor to the corresponding
surveillance system in an optimum way, it is possible to
change many operating parameters. All settings are
made via OSD menu.
To call this menu, press the button MENU (5). The
LED above the button lights up. If the unit is in the
operating mode "Reproduction" or "Still picture", it is
necessary to return first to the operating mode "Nor-
mal" by pressing the button VCR PLAY/FREEZE (8).
The following buttons are required for operating the
setting menu:
(1) and (2)
cursor keys for selecting the menu item
ENTER (8)
confirmation of the selection
(3) and (4)
cursor keys for selecting the parameter to be
changed or for choosing between two alternatives.
The selected parameter or the alternative is
emphasized by flashing.
+ (6) and – (7)
increase or decrease of the selected parameter
value
MENU/EXIT (5)
return to the menu page or quitting of the setting
menu
The buttons required for adjustments in the menu and
their current function are displayed in each case in the
bottom line of the screen insertion. Besides, during the
menu setting, the LEDs above the buttons indicate
which buttons can be pressed. All changes made in the
setting menu are kept in a non-volatile storage, i. e.
they are preserved even in case of power failure.
Quit the setting menu by pressing the button MENU/
EXIT (5) [repeatedly, if necessary].
While the setting menu is adjusted, the video proces-
sor will ignore any alarm incidents occurring. Thus, the
unit will automatically return to the normal mode as
