1. Getting
Started
1.1 Step 1 - Connecting to Cameras, Monitors, VCR and Mains Supply
Connect the multiplexer to the cameras, monitor(s), VCR and mains supply as illustrated in this
diagram.
Note that an 8-camera multiplexer is used in this example. Other multiplexers differ in the number
and location of the connectors.
Each camera input is provided with two BNC connectors. This allows cameras to be looped-
through to other equipment. Either connector may be used for input or output.
Note: This is an example only. Refer to the rear panel labelling for specific locations of connectors.
Desktop models do not have loop-through.
1.2 Step 2 - Step Cable
If a step cable is required, connect it between the multiplexer and the VCR as in the diagram above.
Refer to section 3.1 and section 3.2 for details.
1.3 Step 3 - Alarms
If alarms are required, connect these in accordance with the details in section 3.5.
