Precautions
Important Safety Warnings
[Power]
Operate the unit at the specified supply voltage only.
Unplug the power cord by pulling the plug only. Do not pull on the cable.
Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on the power cord. A damaged
cord can cause a fire or electrical shock. Regularly check the power cord for
excessive wear or damage to prevent possible fire or electrical hazards.
[Grounding]
Ensure the unit is properly grounded at all times to prevent electrical shock.
Do not ground the unit to gas lines, units, or fixtures of an explosive or dangerous
nature.
Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into an AC outlet.
[Operation]
Do not operate the unit in hazardous or potentially explosive environments. Doing
so could result in a fire, explosion, or other accident.
Do not allow liquids, metal pieces, or other foreign objects to get inside the unit.
Doing so could result in a fire or other hazard, or malfunction.
If a foreign object gets inside the unit, turn the power off and disconnect the power
cord immediately. Remove the foreign object, and then contact your authorized
service representative if damage has occurred.
[Transportation]
Handle with care to avoid shocks in transit. Shocks may cause a malfunction. When
you need to transport the unit, use the original packing materials or equivalent
packing.

[Circuitry Access]
Do not remove any covers, panels, casing, or access circuitry while the power to
the unit is on! Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord prior to removing
any parts. Internal servicing and adjustment of the unit should be performed by
qualified personnel only.
Do not touch any parts or circuitry with a high heat factor.
Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause a mild to serious shock even
after the power is disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are
especially hazardous. Avoid contact with any capacitors.
The unit should not be operated or stored with the cover, panels, or casing
removed. Operating the unit with the circuitry exposed could result in electric shock,
fire, or a malfunction.
[Potential Hazards]
If the unit emits any abnormal smells or noises, immediately turn the power off and
disconnect the power cord to avoid a potentially hazardous situation. If this problem
occurs, contact your authorized service representative before attempting to operate
the unit again.
[Consumables]
The consumables used in unit must be replaced periodically. For further details on
which parts are consumables and when they should be replaced, refer to the
specifications at the end of the Operation Manual. Since the service life of the
consumables varies greatly depending on the environment in which they are used,
they should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing the consumables,
contact your dealer.
[Rubber Feet]
If this product includes rubber feet attached by screws, when the rubber feet and
screws are removed, do not reinsert the screws without the rubber feet. Doing so
could cause damage to the internal circuits or components of the unit. Also, when
reinstalling the rubber feet to the unit, use only the supplied rubber feet and screws.

1-2. Features
The MV-1600 is the 16-split multi viewer that accepts asynchronous color or B/W video signals
from up to 16 cameras, reformatting the images for display on a single screen.
Monitor output includes two analog composite video outputs and one analog RGB SXGA output.
SXGA output enables Quad screen monitoring at a higher resolution than conventional multi
viewers with virtually no size reduction of the video from each camera.
The video transmission over a network is also possible for easily expanding the existing analog
video monitoring system to a remote monitoring system. Moreover, it has a multicast function
which enables simultaneous display on multiple PC monitors.
In addition to in-store monitoring, the MV-1600 supports a wide range of other monitoring
applications in banks, hotels, amusement parks, theaters, and production lines.
 Capable of using in mixed system of asynchronous, color or B/W signals
 Easy system expansion using input loopthrough
 Monitor output includes SXGA high-resolution output in addition to analog composite output
 Two analog composite output lines. Screen display can be selected from full screen, quad
screen and 16-split screen
 SXGA display can be selected from full screen, quad screen, 9-split screen and 16-split
screen
 Video transmission function with maximum frame rate of 60 fps (when using the MV-1600
Live Viewer software) * A frame rate of 60 fps may not be obtained due to the conditions of
transferred video signal, JPEG compression ratio, connected PC, or network environment.
 Selectable two types of network modes: unicast and multicast
 Automatic channel switching function (in full screen and split screen)
 Built-in input/output connector for external alarm enables linking of display to alarm system
 Parallel remote connection. Control over a RS-232C interface is supported
 Supports control over a LAN (100BASE-TX) interface
