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”...
Installation Steps The following steps should be followed to ensure proper connection and set up of your QSP-860MPX. A diagram showing the overall connection configuration of the QSP-860MPX is shown above.
(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”...

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:...
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. 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.
24 hours (2, 24, 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 16).

DVANCED UNCTION ENUS This section describes the use of the advanced functions of the QSP-860MPX. The following features allow you to customize the operation of your QSP-860MPX as necessary to complete your installation. Camera Set Up This menu determines the display behavior of the camera...
“Record Only”. The “No Video” indication will be given on the live display along with the “bar pattern” if the camera’s signal is not present. Display Sequence Set Up The QSP-860MPX has a programmable display sequence format for display modes that support sequencing. The image hold (dwell) time is also programmable. Display Sequence Set Up...
Display Sequencing Format A unique feature of the QSP-860MPX is the option to Display Sequence Set Up customize the display sequence format to suit your application. You can program a specific selection of 1: Hold Each Image cameras for sequencing.
3 seconds for the sequence dwell time. Camera buttons are used to enter digits 1 through 8 and PIP and QUADRANT buttons are used to enter 0 and 9 respectively. The DISPLAY button stops the editing of a delay value. Page 12 QSP-860MPX: Instructions for Basic Operation and Installation...
See Alarm DISPLAY: Previous Menu Interconnection on the QSP-860MPX on page 18. The QSP-860MPX alarm activation is defined as follows: Contact Closure: The alarm pin is connected to a current source (either +5V or ground).
QSP-860MPX. The Camera Switch Input (also referred to as a “head switch” input) allows the QSP-860MPX to use an external signal from the VCR to control multiplexing. The QSP-860MPX can be set to use the Camera Switch Input signal through the “VCR Format”...
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.
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.
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.
12 Vdc +Vsupply (30Vdc, 50mA max) automobile system. In this application, the pull-up resistor is not tied to the QSP-860MPX +5V pin, but Alarm Output to the higher voltage system. Voltages greater than Vout = High = no alarm...

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>...
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...
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.
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.
