User Manual
The back panel of the Vivid DVR provides a wide variety of input and output (I/O) ports to enable you to make the most of your
system.
Working from left to right and top to bottom, as you look at the back of the system, the Vivid DVR I/O ports consist of:
1. 26-way terminal block. Used with the screw terminal plugs supplied, this block provides easy and convenient connections
for:
• 16 alarm input terminals
• 4 relay output terminals
• 1 two-wire RS485 terminal
• 4 grounds
2. 9-pin RS232 port, which is fully configurable from the Vivid DVR menu system.
3. S-Video output for the main monitor display (VIVID and VIVID+ only)
4. Three 3.5mm audio connectors for single channel audio recording (VIVID and VIVID+ only), including:
• MIC In
• Line In
• Line Out
5. 12VDC input socket.
6. RJ45 10/100 base T Ethernet connector, for Fast Ethernet communications.
7. A 50 pin high density SCSI connector, for connection to up to 3 daisy-chained RAID devices (VIVID and VIVID+ only).
8. Stacked dual port RJ45 RS485 connector, which can be used, like the two wire connection on the terminal block, for PTZ
control, or for daisy-chaining RS485 devices using Baxnet.
Note: This is a single logical RS485 I/O port on to the Vivid DVR.
9. MON A, main monitor, and MON B, SPOT monitor, analogue video output BNC connectors.
10. Analogue video input/output BNC connectors for connecting CCTV surveillance cameras to the Vivid DVR:
• The top row of connectors is for the camera input connection.
• The bottom row of connectors is to provide a loop-through output capability so the camera signals can be passed to other
possible devices in the installation.
These connectors are software terminated and un-terminated as required from the Vivid DVR menu system.
Camera numbering is in sequence from left to right, as you look at the rear of the Vivid DVR.
11. Earthing point. Use of this Earth point is strongly recommended.
