  • Page 3: Introduction

    Throughout this manual we will refer to a 3x3 display format for simultaneous display of all eight cameras. The QSP-860MPX utilizes eight of the nine possible display areas of the 3x3 display format for display of the eight cameras. The ninth area (middle space) is used to display time and date information during the live camera display mode, or the message “VCR Playback”...

    (i.e. the left-most loop-through switch connects camera 4 to camera 8). When an input is in “loop-through”, the QSP-860MPX is unable to recognize that the two loop-through inputs are the same camera image. For multiplexing to behave as expected, one of the two loop-through inputs should be disabled using the on-screen QSP-860MPX “Sequencing set up”...
  • Page 6: Operation

    ZOOM        Your QSP-860MPX has five mode control buttons and eight “camera” buttons which allow easy access to all modes of operation. The five mode buttons on the left are used to control monitor display operations and VCR playback. Note that live camera display modes do not affect mutiplex recording. Here is a summary of each button’s function:...
  • Page 7: Set Up Menus

         ENUS The QSP-860MPX set up is accomplished through its on-screen menus. To enter the menu system, push and hold the DISPLAY button for approximately 3 seconds.

    Press DISPLAY button on the remote control for 3x3 display on the QSP-860MPX. Your QSP-860MPX is factory set for Code set #2. See page 13 to change the QSP-860MPX Code set. NOTE: After replacing the battery, you must re-program the remote.
  • Page 16: What To Do If Your Vcr Is Not On The Supported List

    UPPORTED The delay tables contained in QSP-860MPX software should give you satisfactory performance for any of the VCRs listed. If your VCR is not on the list, set up of the QSP-860MPX to support your VCR is very straightforward. Most non-real-time Time Lapse VCRs are of the formula A or B type described below. It is usually possible to determine what type of VCR you have from the VCR’s manual.
  • Page 17: Edit Delay Table

    The number will often be a fraction (such as 13.2), so “round” the number to the nearest whole integer (which would be 13). To set up the QSP-860MPX delay entry for this case, you would enter “24” in the “Hours” column and “13” in the “Delay” column.

  • Page 19 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 QSP-860MPX. In other cases, the alarm output needs to control multiple circuits of different types (mixed DC and AC equipment) or the “sense”...

    QSP-860MPX through simple ASCII commands. These commands provide access to the front panel button operations just as the IR Remote Control does. The QSP-860MPX serial interface is fixed at 2400 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. It uses the very simple command format: <command>...
  • Page 21: 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 16). Using this table, the multiplexing rate of the QSP-860MPX can be programmed to be compatible with the recording rate of the VCR. Page 21...
  • Page 22: Equipment Requirements

    EQUIREMENTS The QSP-860MPX is designed to be compatible with all EIA and CCIR compatible equipment. The QSP-860MPX 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.
