TVS-C200 CVBS OSD controller
Interlogix offers two different versions of the OSD controller: the TVS-C100
controller and the TVS-C200 controller. Please choose the corresponding
controller by referring to the product datasheets.
The cameras listed in the “Introduction” section support TruVision Coax OSD
control protocol and require the TVS-C200 for OSD control.
The TVS-C200 is used to program the camera’s 960H CVBS output, not for the
TVI video output. Programming the camera’s TVI output can be done via a TVI
DVR.
The TVS-C200 has four buttons for the camera function selection and control.
Figure 1 below lists the OSD control button functions and describes their use.

Indicator light Arrow keys
Note: Before using the controller, check that the controller is powered. Two AAA
batteries are required for the controller to work properly.
The Setup menu provides access to the camera’s configuration options. Use the
TVS-C200 controller to access the camera’s Setup menu and select the
configuration options.
To set up and configure the camera:
1. Connect a video monitor to one of the BNC connectors of the controller.
2. Connect the camera’s 960H CVBS output to a BNC connector.
3. Press the OK button for a few seconds to display the Setup menu. See Table
