A. Viewing a camera image: Follow diagram A to connect a CCTV camera (includ-
ing PTZ control) to the tester. The camera’s video output connects to the tester’s
VIDEO IN BNC connector. The camera’s PTZ control wires connect to tester’s
RS-485/422 control block (using the terminal block/alligator clip adapter provided
with the tester). Turn ON the tester and select menu item “2.” The camera’s video
will display on the tester screen. More detailed instructions follow in this manual.
B. Connecting a monitor: Follow diagram B to connect a CCTV monitor to the
tester. The tester’s VIDEO OUT BNC connects to the monitor’s video input connector.
You can drive the monitor with the video signal generated by the tester (menu item
#4, then TELE) or in “looped mode” with a camera’s video connected to the tester’s
VIDEO IN BNC (menu item #4, then WIDE). More detailed instructions follow in this
manual.
