PREFACE NN
The WJ-FS216 Video Multiplexer is designed to pick up
the field signals from video cameras and record the
camera images on a time lapse VCR. The pictures of
up to 16 cameras can be monitored in single, quad or
multi picture mode. Camera/pictures can be called
from the time lapse VCR output by a title added to the
camera picture or by simply pressing the selection but-
ton for the respective camera.
FEATURES
The WJ-FS216 Video Multiplexer is designed to pick up
the field signals from video cameras and record the
camera images on a time lapse VCH. Up to 16 cameras
(black & white or color cameras) can be connected to
the WJ-FS216 regardless of whether the camera signals
are synchronized or not.
The functions of the two available modes, MULTIPLEX
and MULTISCR, are as follows:
e MULTIPLEX mode
1. Monitoring sequential or single (spot) pictures and
simultaneously recording them on the time lapse
VCR.
2. Easy selection of playback picture from the time
lapse VCR and displaying it as a single (spot) or
multt picture (quad, 3x3, or 4x4) by simply pushing
the camera selection button.
The Quad Shift function allows you to shift between
up to four quad pictures (each consisting of 4 pic-
tures).
3. Pauses can be inserted in the pictures reproduced
by the time lapse VCR (STILL ON mode). In multi
picture mode, pauses can also be inserted in any
monitored pictures, and single spot pictures can be
zoomed up to twofold.
* MULTISCR mode
1. You can monitor sequential, single (spot) or multi
pictures (quad, 3x3, or 4x4) and record them simul-
taneously on the time lapse VCR.
2. You can switch between display patterns (spot,
quad, 3x3, or 4x4) by simply pressing any of the
camera selection buttons 1 to 3.
3. The Quad Shift function allows you to display up to
four quad pictures (each consisting of 4 pictures)
on one screen.
4. You can pause (STILL ON mode) or zoom the piay-
back picture. In multi picture mode, all pictures
monitored can be paused, but only one specified
picture can be zoomed.
« Common to both modes
1. Remote control
2. An alarm beeps to indicate that a cable is discon-
nected.
3. Memory backup (approx. 72 hours) for menus.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
The playback picture of the Time Lapse VCR with
linear mode may be disturbed by another channel
picture. In this case playback again for the dis-
turbed picture scene of playback VCR without linear
mode.
The WJ-FS10 cannot play back tapes recorded on
the WJ-FS216.
These Operating Instructions explain the operating
procedure when using the AG-6730 Time Lapse
VCR or equivalent.
This unit does not accept the camera motion detec-
tor alarm signal.
Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. In order to
prevent electrical shock, do not remove screws or
Covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Do not abuse the unit. Avoid striking, shaking etc. It
could be damaged by improper handling or stor-
age.
Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the unit body.
Do not expose the unit to water or moisture, and do
not operate it in wet or humid areas.
Do not use the unit in an extreme environment
where either high temperature or high humidity
exist.
Handle the unit with care.
Take immediate action if ever the unit does become
wet. Tune the power off and refer servicing to quali-
fied service personnel. Moisture can damage the
unit and also create a danger of electric shock.
Use the unit under conditions where temperature is
within —10°C to +50°C (14°F to 122°F), and humidity
is below 9096. When installing the unit in the rack, it
is recommended to install the fan.

beeps. Check that the connections are correct
and firm, then input the video signal again or
press the SEQUENCE/ALARM RESET button.

the unit to the condition before the video signal
was interrupted.
Caution:
The picture may be disturbed when switching
non-synchronized camera signals. This can be
avoided by synchronizing the camera signals.
Camera Output Connectors (CAMERA OUT)
The signals from the input cameras are loopéd
through at these connectors, Connecting a coaxial

E Monitoring the Playback Picture
Cautions:
* Set the time lapse VCR to the playback mode.
Recorded tapes should be piayed back in NOR-
MAL or TIME LAPSE for the time mode.
e Set PLAYBACK MODE in MENU 3 OF 3 to FIELD or
FS10.
See page 8 for the settings.
Notes:
* This unit does not reproduce a clear picture in
reverse playback.
* [he playback picture may be skewed (horizon-
tally distorted) under certain circumstances, but
this does not indicate a malfunction.
* The picture or title may sometimes be blurred
due to frame recording, but this does not indi-
cate a malíunction.
* Depending on the condition of the video heads,
the picture of a channel other than the selected
one may be displayed. If this occurs frequent-
ly, adjust the tracking or stow-tracking of the
VCR. This usually eliminates the problem.
* The size of pictures displayed in quad format is
smaller than in single picture format, which
makes the titles hard to read. Select single pic-
ture (Spot) to make titles easier to read.
* |f SYSTEM MODE is set to MULTISCR, the pic-
ture monitored during fast forwarding, rewind-
ing, or replaying the playback picture is that
from the VCR.
* Playing back in linear mode (L12H, L18H,
L24H) may produce noise or the picture of the
other channel is reproduced on the monitor in
any recording mode of the time lapse VCR. In
this case, play back in normal mode (2H, 6H) or
time lapse mode. i
