1. Prior to Starting

Congratulations! By purchasing a CDR-16T you have entered the world of CBC and its many

innovative products. Thank you for your patronage and we hope you will turn to CBC products

again and again to satisfy your video and audio production needs. Whatever your needs, talk to

your CBC representative. We will do our best to be of continuing service to you.

The CDR-16T combines the best features of digital recorders and multiplexer products in one

compact package. Triplex operation capability, high quality performance and fast response

make it excellent for use at banks, casinos, stores, factories, theaters, museums, governmental

institutes, airports or other institutions with ongoing surveillance / observation needs. Units are

available shipped with one of three different capacity internal hard drives; (36GB), (72GB) or

(180GB).

Up to 16 composite video camera signals can be input and frame-switch recorded into its hard

disk drive memory. It also has a built-in frame synchronizer with 2-frame wide window correction

to assure even asynchronous signals can be fully utilized. Each recorded camera scene can be

retrieved and displayed independently (full screen), or multiple camera channels can be viewed

simultaneously on the same monitor as a split display. Motion adaptive JPEG compression

record, selectable compression rates (record quality settings), alarm record real time (NTSC 60,

PAL 50 fields / sec.) and multiple record mode settings.

All alarm events, including power ON/OFF, can be time stamped with year, month, date, hour,

minute and second of occurrence. Each event recorded can also be nonlinearly accessed at any

time for review and observation. Picture quality remains high from first playback to last; no

deterioration occurs no matter how many times the same scene is replayed. There is also no

picture disturbance during shuttle operation and slow motion playback is extremely smooth.
