Installation types
The type of installation you have—zone or Digiplex—determines your keypad operation.
Zone installations
If your system uses one or more DVR digital video recorders or GE multiplexers as the main
switching devices, then the system is a zone installation. A zone installation can have as
many as 32 zones, each zone having one DVR or multiplexer that serves from 1 to 32
cameras. The outputs from the zone’s switching device connect directly to dedicated
monitors.
Zone mode
If you have a zone installation, your keypad
should be in zone mode. If your keypad is in
zone mode, the LCD panel shows zone,
camera, and monitor fields.
Note: See DVR operation on page 7 to
control a DVR when the keypad is in
zone mode.
ZONE --
CAMERA -- MONITOR -
System information. Use the System
information table on page 16 to record
the numbers and descriptions of the
DVRs and multiplexers in your system.

Quick Guide 4
Digiplex installations
If your system uses one or more GE matrix switchers as the main switching devices, then
the system is a Digiplex installation. A Digiplex system can have 512 cameras, one or more
matrix switchers with 64 monitor outputs, up to 32 multiplexers, and up to 32 recorders. In
addition, optional recording devices (DVR, DSR, or VCR) can connect to the matrix switcher.
Digiplex systems do not require dedicated monitors for each DVR.
Digiplex mode
If you have a Digiplex installation, your
keypad should be in Digiplex mode. If your
keypad is in Digiplex mode, it shows the
active camera and monitor numbers.
See DVR operation on page 7 to control a
DVR when the keypad starts in Digiplex
mode.
Hybrid zone mode
You can use the keypad to control a DVR in
a Digiplex installation. In this case, the
keypad is in hybrid zone mode. If your
keypad is in hybrid zone mode, it shows
zone, camera, and monitor numbers, plus
the DVR type.
