2 Multivision® Pro Installation and Operation Manual
TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
The Multivision Pro series includes MV94p, MV99p, MV96p
color multiplexers and MV19p, MV16p B&W multiplexers.
Video Input and Output
The multiplexer is available configured for either NTSC/EIA
or PAL/CCIR video standard. The unit features video camera
inputs with a passive looping output for each. Camera input
impedance termination is set independently for each camera
using switches on the back panel. Synchronizing or phasing
cameras is not required.
Video recording and playback is supported by VCR connec-
tions for both composite and S-Video signal formats (color
units only). The multiplexer automatically determines the
format used during tape playback.
Two monitor outputs allow viewing live camera or videotaped
pictures on standard monitors. The main monitor displays
selected cameras in any available display format. The call
monitor displays any alarm images or any live camera image
full screen.
Motion Detection
The multiplexer continuously monitors all camera inputs for
motion. When motion is detected, the multiplexer increases
how often that camera is recorded and displayed. If the mo-
tion alarm feature is ON, the multiplexer also alerts the op-
erator with blinking panel LEDs. It also sounds an alarm tone
and encodes camera images as ALARM if those setup menu
options are ON. Motion detection options for day and for
night can be set for each camera input using a 192-target (16
wide by 12 high) graphic overlay. This allows using more
effective settings for alarm delay, object size, sensitivity and
target position for the two time periods. You can also set
motion alarms ON for night and OFF for day, or vice-versa.
Video Display
The main monitor displays either live camera pictures or pic-
tures from tape. The display is based on a 512x512x16
(512x464x16 NTSC/EIA) bit digital video memory contain-
ing two interlaced video fields. As many as 256 gray shades
and 16 million colors can be displayed in six screen formats:
full screen, 2x zoom, Picture-In-Picture (PIP), 2x2, 3x3 (9 and
16-camera models only) and 4x4 (16-camera models only).
