< 4.1 > QD Connection
1. VCR in :
This BNC connector is connected to video output from VCR/DVR. A pre-recorded quad screen signal from a tape can be
played back through a VCR/DVR and displayed on the video output channels. Push the VCR button (#2) to switch the
device to VCR Playback mode.
2. VCR out :
This BNC connector is to be connected to the Video in from your VCR/DVR. It will only provide a quad screen video to
ensure an un-interrupted video recording for all four cameras. The display video is not affected by the control panel.
3. Terminations :
These impedance switches are used to provide proper termination for each camera input. These switches toggle be-
tween 75Ω and Hi-Z impedance. Incorrect termination will degrade the quality of the video signal. All video inputs not
“looped through” to another device, the corresponding switches need to be set to 75Ω termination position. If another
device is connected to video out loop through connector set the corresponding termination switch to Hi-Z position. Any
device connected to the video out loop through connectors needs to be configure to 75Ω video termination. The factory
default termination setting is 75Ω.
4. Ch1 In, Ch2 In, Ch3 In, and Ch4 In Video IN connectors :
These BNC connectors are used to connect to the video out from camera. Four cameras can be connected to these con-
nectors to form a quad screen in the following mapping order.
5. Ch1 Out, Ch2 Out, Ch3 Out, and Ch4 Out Video Loop through connectors :
These connectors are used to loop video signals from each camera out to other devices.

< 4.2 > QD ALARM Connection & Operation
1. ALARM I/O :
This female type 9 pin D-sub connector is used for alarm sensor input and alarm output control connections. It provides
Normal Open and Normal Close contacts for alarm out control.

The Alarm Hold Time can be configured from 0 second to 99 minutes through system Setup menu.
2. VCR Connection for Tape Recording Start and Stop Control :
Connecting the contacts of VCR RECORD and STOP switch to the alarm output NC and NO contacts will allow you to use
an ordinary VCR to record for longer period of time. Combined with alarm sensor detection, the VCR will record only when
an alarm sensor is activated.
*. If more than one sensor have been trigged, VCR will start to record after the last trigged event.
*. In order to make use of the alarm called full screen display function, the VIDEO IN connector from the VCR has to be
connected to LIVE monitor connector of the device. If more than one sensor are trigged, VCR will then record all the
events in full screen mode accordingly.

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9
When a computer is used to control this device through a RS-232 port, pin 6, 7, 8, and 9 must be disconnected to
prevent connecting the VCC and GND signals from the device to the computer. A RS-232 port only uses pin 1, 2,
and 3 for control signal transmission.
2. A terminal or computer can be connected to the male type 9 pin D-sub connector on the real panel from it RS-
232 port to control this device using standard, uppercase ASCII codes.
2.1 The ASCII command codes for the quad are listed in the table below. The transmission protocol is 1200-
baud rate, 8 data bit, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

*1. In order to control the device to operate in Zoom mode, the computer has to first send
command code ” to switch the signal source from camera to VCR/DVR, at this time the device will
automatically zoom channel 1 video from VCR/DVR to full screen. User can then input a correspond-
ing channel code to zoom any other specific channel. Input the corresponding channel code again to
put the specific channel to freeze mode and send the code again to clear the freeze mode.
Example: Input GE, (GE) B, (GE) C, and (GE) D for zooming the video signal in channel 1 to 4 from
VCR/DVR. Input “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” again to freeze the specific channel. Send command code “G”
again to get back to Live input mode.
*2. Computer has to send out command code “H” continuously for 2 seconds to switch the device be-
tween security lock ON and OFF mode. If any alarm is activated under security lock ON mode, the
device has to send out command code “H” continuously for more than 4 seconds to clear the alarm.
*3. Setup menu is switched ON by sending VCR/DVR and Lock button codes together.
*4. Text Select and Cursor Control functions can be performed only under menu Setup mode.
2.2 Right after computer/terminal has sent out the above mentioned control command code to the device, the
device will respond with following status code back to computer through RS-232 port:
