DMU2 Interface
The interface links a Dedicated Micros Uniplex Series 2 video multiplexer to North's Extensible Object Model. A multiplexer provides facilities for surveillance monitoring and can record images from connected cameras to an external video recorder (VCR). The purpose of multiplexing is to reduce the number of VCRs and cassettes required on a site. A PAL compatible TV shows a series of 25 still pictures per second, which gives the impression of motion. Normally a VCR would record every picture, however a multiplexer uses time division multiplexing, which combines all the camera signals, one picture from each and then back to the first. This means that a small amount of information is lost.
Supported Range
