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.
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.
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.
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 display will then show the top level menu. Selection of any menu item is done with the camera select keys on the front panel. Selecting DISPLAY will exit the present menu level.
48, etc.), use the Standard 24 Hour steps. If your VCR settings do not correspond with the either the 12 or 24 Hour Standard steps, refer to the section “What to do if your VCR is not on the supported list” (page 22). DPX16m: Instructions for Basic Operation and Installation Page 10...
DVANCED UNCTION ENUS This section describes the use of the advanced functions of the DPX16m. The following features allow you to customize the operation of your DPX16m as necessary to complete your installation. Camera Set Up This menu determines the display behavior of the camera...
The camera’s Activity Threshold determines Activity Detection the sensitivity to change within an image that will trigger detection by the DPX16m activity detection processing. Activity Zones are the regions within an image where activity 1: Activity Thresholds. . .
DISPLAY: Accept and Return Display Sequencing Format A unique feature of the DPX16m is the option to customize the display sequence format to suit your application. You can program a specific selection of cameras for sequencing. Selecting: 1.

The above screens show the factory default values. You can customize any or all formats, and may have more than one section of a multi-camera display defined for sequencing. For any particular camera display, cameras are sequenced in ascending numerical order and cameras cannot be repeated. DPX16m: Instructions for Basic Operation and Installation Page 14...

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.
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.
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.
Toggles the black text background ON and OFF. Toggles the internal Chroma filter between “Enabled” (factory default) and “Disabled”. The Chroma filter must be enabled if any color cameras are connected to the DPX16m. Security Set Up Security lockout is a means to disable the DPX16m...
DPX16m. The Camera Switch Input (also referred to as a “head switch” input) allows the DPX16m to use an external signal from the VCR to control multiplexing. The DPX16m can be set to use the Camera Switch Input signal through the “VCR Format”...
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.
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.
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”...
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.

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>...
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.
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.
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.
