Installation and Operating Instructions
This
manual describes the installation
and
operating procedures for the
American
Dynamics model
1473
QuadView
11.
The
1473
QuadView
11,
a four quadrant multiplexer, digitally captures the video from four
video
sources, reduces these images to quarter-
screen size, and combines them onto a QUAD output.
A
separate
CALL
output provides full
-
screen viewing of each input
contained
in
the quad presentation.
Alarm
inputs
and
remote controls provide optimum flexibility
in
alarm viewing and
reoordiag.

This product generates and uses radio frequency
energy
and
if
not
installed and used properly, that is,
in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, may cause interference to radio
and
television reception.
It
has been type tested and found
to comply
with
the limits for a Class
B
computing
device
in
accordance with the specifications
in
Part 15
of
FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference
in
a
residential
installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur
in
a
particular installation.
If
this product does cause interference to radio
or
television reception, which can be determined by
turning
the
product
off and
on,
the user is encouraged
to
try
to
correct the interference by one or more
of
the following measures:
-
Reorient the product.
-
Relocate
the product
with
respect to the receiver.
-
Move
the product away
from
the receiver.
-
Plug
the
product
into a different outlet
so
that the
prdct
and
receiver are
on
different branch circuits.
If
necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an
experienced
radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. The user may
find
the following bookket
prepared
by
the Federal Communications Commission

DESCRIPTION
The
1473
QuadViw
11,
a four quadrant multiplexer, digitally
captures
the video
from
four standard video
sources,
reduces
these
images
to quarter-saeen
size,
and combines
them
into a
single video
output
utilizing a Quad display of
all
four videos.
One
1473
output provides the quad
-
type presentation.
A
second output provides full
-
screen viewing
of
each input
contained
in
the
quad
presentation. Alann inputs and outputs
and
remote

inputs
provide optimum flexibility
in
alarm
viewing, recording, and control.

Inputs
Four
pairs
of BNC connectors (1, 2, 3, 4)
are
used
for video
inputs. The camera connected to a BNC automatically is
assigned the corresponding on
-
screen camera number. The
two
-
position slide switch, under each video input pair,
configures the input termination in one of
two
ways:
Right (75
Ohm):
Terminates each input in
75 ohms.
Left
(HiZ):
Used
for unterminated, looping input.
Set the slide switches to
the
right position
if
the signals
are
terminated at the QuadView
II
or to the left if the signal is
looped to another video device (the looping signal must
eventually
be
terminated).

If
one

used,
connect it to the Call output.
If

CAUTION
-
Due
to
the presence of non

by qualified service personnel only.
Color
Filters (Jumpers

does not pass color signals on the
QUAD
output
In
order
to
use
signals from color
cameras
as
the input
to
the Quadview
II,
it
may
be
necessary
to
reduce the
color
sub-carrier
interference. Internal filters
are
provided and
may
be
activated by moving internal
jumpers.
These
filters
do
not affect

factory
setting
of
these
jumpers
is far black and white cameras.

OPERATION
The
1473
QuadView I1 may be used
with
one
or
two monitors.
If only one monitor is used,
it
should
be
the Call Monitor. The
Call Monitor displays either:
1.
A sequence of full
-
screen camera pictures,
with
or
without
the
Quad
Display
(see
RUN,
below).
2.
A
selected full
-
screen picture of
any
camera or the Quad
Display
(see
1,2,
3.4,
and QUAD below).
The
Quad Monitor always shows the Quad Display.
Front
Panel Operation
A
white
box
is displayed
in
the bottom center of the Quad
display when alarms are enabled (Figure
5).
2. If
any alarm is active on a camera
input,
the
ALARMS
action is an acknowledge
of
the
alarm
(see
Alarm
Mode
Setup, page
3).
Video
Loss
Detection
Loss
of video to any input is detected by the
1473.
When
a
video loss is detected, the corresponding quadrant displays a
blanked screen on
the
Quad display. The last picture received
before video loss is stored
in
memory. If the FREEZE
pushbutton
is
activated following a video loss, the frozen Quad
display includes
the
last picture received, shown
in
the
appropriate quadrant
The
front panel controls (see Figure
5)
operate
as
follows.
Alarm Action
1,
2,3,4:
Each of these pushbuttons
calls
a full
-
screen display
of
the corresponding camera to the Call Monitor.
QUAD
This pushbutton calls a display of four cameras
(in
a
Quad
configuration) to the Call Monitor.
FREEZE:
Alternate
pushbutton
FREEZE
action:
1.
Freezes the current Quad display on both the Call and
Quad
Monitors. The Quad display
also
flashes
the word
"
FROZEN
"
(see Figure
6)
and shows the last picture
received before video loss,
if
video loss had been detected.
2.
Restores the real-time Quad display.
RUN:
The
RUN
pushbutton action sequences the four camera
inputs on the Call Monitor. The sequence rate, either two
or
four seconds,
is
selected by the jumper
J3
1.
To
include
the Quad display
in
the sequence, set jumper
539
to the
"
IN
"
position
(see
Quad Sequence Setup, page
3).
Activating the
RUN
pushbutton while a sequence
is
running
has
no effect. Activating any of the
1,
2,
3.4,
or
QUAD
pushbuttons stops the sequence and calls the requested
display
to
the
Call
Monitor.
ALARMS:
The
ALARMS
pushbutton action depends on the
current mode of the
unit:
1.
If
no
alarms
are active, alternate
ALARMS
pushbutton
action
enables
or
disables
alarm
response action
in
the unit.
Alarm
contact closures on
any
of the
Alarm
Input pins activate
the following response actions
if
the unit is enabled for
alarms:
1.
The word
"
ALARM!
"
flashes on the Quad display to
indicate the presence of
an
alarm (Figure
6).
2.
The Call Monitor displays a full
-
screen picture of one, or a
sequence of multiple, alarmed cameras. The Quad display
may be included
in
this sequence by the setting of jumper
J39
(see
Quad Sequence Setup, page
3).
Alarm
sequence
dwell time is
fmed
at
two seconds.
3.
The Form-C
alarm
relay is activated for control of
external
devices.
Each individual camera
can
be
set for one of three different
alarm
clearance modes, selectable by a
three
position jumper
(see
Alarm Modes Setup, page
3).
After the
alarm
is cleared or
acknowledged, the Call Monitor display
returns
to
the camera
it
was last displaying, before the
alarm
occurred.
