  • Page 3: Introduction

    Live Camera Displays The DPX16m will initially be in the live camera display mode whenever power is applied to the unit. Live cameras can be displayed in 4x4, 3x3, quad, PIP, dual PIP, split screen, squish screen, or full frame formats.
  • Page 4: Digilock And Playback

    Alarm Log and Printing The DPX16m has an internal Alarm Log that provides storage for up to 100 alarm events. In addition, its text can be transmitted to the serial port for printing or storage on a host computer. The Alarm Log is a “circular”...

    4X4, to 3x3, to quad, then back to 4x4, and so forth. A push and hold of this button for approximately 3 seconds will bring up the DPX16m set up main menu. To view additional cameras in the 3x3 or quad display modes, push the SEQUENCE button and the DPX16m will sequence the display through the available cameras.
  • Page 8: Vcr Bypass Function Operation

    An approximately 3 second long press of the VCR button activates the “VCR Bypass” function and the VCR LED will flash while the unit is in “VCR Bypass” mode. While in this mode, the DPX16m will pass the VCR output directly to the main display monitor. A single push of the VCR button will return the unit to normal VCR playback mode and/or back to live display mode.
  • Page 9: Set Up Menus

    ENUS The DPX16m set up is accomplished through its on-screen menus. To enter the menu system, push and hold the DISPLAY button for approximately 3 seconds.

    The DPX16m contains a very flexible and advanced alarming system designed to provide an optimum solution for any installation. Along with the ability to enable various types of alarm inputs, a built in 7-day timer may also be used to individually enable and disable each alarm. The following menus are used to set the timer and select which alarms the timer will control.
  • Page 17: Alarm Control Options

    When the alarm “Master Enable” mode is selected, the entire DPX16m alarm system will be enabled or disabled by this input according to the logic level specified by the “Master Enable Input Type” setting. This input can be used to control the DPX16m alarm system from a burglar alarm system, or other external control system.
  • Page 18: Alarm Activation Type

    The Alarm Log may be printed on a serial interface printer which is connected to the DPX16m Serial Port. The log may also be sent to a host computer for storage or processing rather than a printer. The Alarm Log can be cleared by pressing the ZOOM button.

    Press DISPLAY button on the remote control for the 4x4 display on the DPX16m to appear. Your DPX16m is factory set for Code set #2. See page 19 to change the DPX16m Code set. NOTE: After replacing the battery, you must reprogram the remote.
  • Page 22: What To Do If Your Vcr Is Not On The Supported List

    The delay tables contained in DPX16m software should give you satisfactory performance for any of the VCRs listed. If your VCR is not on the list, the process to set up the DPX16m to support your VCR is very straightforward.
  • Page 23: Edit Delay Table

    The number will often be a fraction (such as 13.2), so “round” the number to the next nearest whole integer (which would be 13). To set up the DPX16m delay entry for this case, you would enter “24” in the “Hours”...
  • Page 24: Alarm Interconnection On The Dpx16M

    In this application, the pull-up +Vsupply (30Vdc, 50mA max) resistor is not tied to the DPX16m +5V pin, but to the higher voltage system. Voltages greater than Alarm Output +5V must not exceed 30 Vdc and the current Vout = High = no alarm through the output pin must not exceed 50 mA.
  • Page 25 In some installations, the alarm output is used to activate or deactivate high voltage and/or high current circuitry (110 VAC lights, siren, etc. ) which cannot be controlled directly by the DPX16m. In other cases, the alarm output needs to control multiple circuits of different types (mixed DC and AC equipment) or the “sense”...

    ASCII commands. These commands provide access to the front panel button operations just as the IR Remote Control does. The DPX16m serial interface is fixed at 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. The command format <command> <return>...
  • Page 27: Supported Vcrs

    To accommodate any remaining VCR models, a custom delay table is provided which can be tuned for optimal performance with any VCR hourly format (see page 22). Using this table, the multiplexing rate of the DPX16m can be programmed to be compatible with the recording rate of the VCR.
  • Page 28: Specifications

    QUIPMENT EQUIREMENTS The DPX16m is designed to be compatible with all NTSC/EIA and PAL/CCIR compatible equipment. The DPX16m will accept 2:1 interlace cameras in either a “line-locked” or “free running” (internal reference) modes. The use of “random interlace” camera is not recommended unless the line lock is turned off.
  • Page 29: Warranty Information

    Repair of a defective product is contingent upon availability of replacement parts from their manufacturer. Should ATV be unable to obtain replacement parts, ATV will, at its option, pro rate the value of the defective product and offer this amount toward the purchase of any new ATV product.
