The Multivision Quest Triplex TMV-96Q offers advanced features
not typically found in standard multiplexers. The triplex
capability allows users to view live and recorded video
simultaneously on the same screen, while also recording
at the same time. Viewing options are available for 2x zoom,
picture in picture, programmable sequential switching, and
a variety of multi-view screen layouts in any combination
of live and recorded video. Users can also use the active
window feature to select a window (live or playback) to
display video in real time. Video inputs can be programmed
as covert so that certain cameras are recorded but not viewable
on the monitors.
Three types of alarm events are supported: video loss,
alarm inputs via the rear panel, and motion detection. Motion
detection for each individual camera is programmed via a
detection grid and has two settings for indoor/outdoor applications.
Each alarm event can be programmed to put the multiplexer
into alarm mode, which can result in on-screen alarm text,
an internal buzzer sounding, and a relay being triggered.
Motion detection, as well as triggered alarm inputs, can
be programmed to increase the camera record rate based upon
time of day. Alarm dwell time is user selectable from 1
to 9,999 seconds. In addition, as these events occur they
are stored in a non-volatile event history log. The most
recent 255 events are kept in the list. Video inputs can
be programmed for priority recording during normal and alarmed
activity.
For installations where cameras are located at long distances
and video signal integrity is affected, the gain control
for each individual camera can be adjusted to restore picture
quality.
The multiplexer has two passwords: one for resetting the
unit to factory settings, one for configuring the unit during
installation.
