1-2. About the CDR-16T
The CDR-16T combines the best features of digital recorders and multiplexer products in one
compact package. Triplex operation capability, high quality performance and fast response
make it excellent for use at banks, casinos, stores, factories, theaters, museums, governmental
institutes, airports or other institutions with ongoing surveillance / observation needs. Units are
available shipped with one of three different capacity internal hard drives; (36GB), (72GB) or
(180GB).
Up to 16 composite video camera signals can be input and frame-switch recorded into its hard
disk drive memory. It also has a built-in frame synchronizer with 2-frame wide window correction
to assure even asynchronous signals can be fully utilized. Each recorded camera scene can be
retrieved and displayed independently (full screen), or multiple camera channels can be viewed
simultaneously on the same monitor as a split display. Motion adaptive JPEG compression
record, selectable compression rates (record quality settings), alarm record real time (NTSC 60,
PAL 50 fields / sec.) and multiple record mode settings.
All alarm events, including power ON/OFF, can be time stamped with year, month, date, hour,
minute and second of occurrence. Each event recorded can also be nonlinearly accessed at any
time for review and observation. Picture quality remains high from first playback to last; no
deterioration occurs no matter how many times the same scene is replayed. There is also no
picture disturbance during shuttle operation and slow motion playback is extremely smooth.
