INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
4. Connecting & Running
4.1. Connecting camera
(1) Connect CCTV camera to HVR-16Q with BNC cable as shown below.
<Note>
1. The video type for all channels should be either NTSC or PAL, not be combined both.
2. HVR-16Q sets video signal’s impedance ( 75Ω) automatically.
Impedance is set as 75Ωbasically. If connecting a device to video output, impedance will be “Hi-
z” status. Please refer to “9.6. Connecting Video In/Output” on page 37.
3. Video type (NTSC/PAL) should be changed after operating HVR-16Q. The order of camera
recognition follows Ch1 camera through Ch16 camera and 1st recognized camera type leads other
camera types.
11

4.2. Connecting monitor
(1) Connect CCTV monitor to HVR-16Q with BNC cable as shown below.
<Note>
The Monitor output of HVR-16Q provides A(Normal) & B(Spot), which is used for Monitor A in case
of connecting only one monitor.
4.3. Connecting audio
(1) Connect audio signal to HVR-16Q with using RCA cable.
