FAQ
How do I transfer information from a DVR to a tape?

As long as your DVR features a composite monitor output for playback then all you need to do is loop the video through the VCR, for example Monitor Output to VCR IN, VCR OUT to Monitor IN. Whatever you view on the system you can now record on the VCR. If you're using a domestic VCR you may require a scart to BNC cable.

FAQ
My multiplexer will only display 1 or random pictures in playback mode. What is the problem?

The most common cause of this problem is the synchronisation between the multiplexer and VCR. To generate fields at the same rate ensure the recording times are the same on both units, for example 24hours on the multiplexer and 24hours on the VCR.

If this does not work then either a sync cable or vext cable will be required. Multiplexers are designed with sync or swipe pulse inputs. Many VCRs produce a synchronising pulse at a connector at the back of the recorder. The pulse generated by the VCR controls the rate at which the multiplexer switches between cameras. Connecting this pulse to an input of the multiplexer enables the multiplexer to send fields to the VCR at exactly the right rate for the time lapse setting selected.
