Installing your System Sprite
Connecting cameras
Connect cameras to System Sprite video inputs marked "VID1 to VID9 or VID16" (item 5 on page 5). Each camera input is
automatically terminated. Termination can be switched off in the configuration menus if the inputs require looping through to
other equipment.
Connecting monitors
Main Monitor: Connect the Sprite video output marked "MON A" (item 4 on page 5) to the Main video monitor. The Main
monitor displays full, picture in picture, quad and multi-screens. This output should be terminated at the video monitor.
Main Monitor (S-VHS, Colour duplex models only): The main monitor on colour models can be connected using S-VHS
(sometimes called s-video). This option has to be configured on the System Sprite before it is available, therefore, when installing
the multiplexer connect both composite, as detailed above, and the S-VHS connections (item 9 on page 5). Complete the
installation and configuration and then, if required, remove the composite video connection.
Spot Monitor: Connect the Sprite video output marked "MON B" (item 7 on page 5) to the Spot monitor. The Spot monitor
provides an independent full screen display, which can be set to display alarms. This output should be terminated at the video
monitor.
Connecting the Video recorder
Composite video connections (all models)
Connect the System Sprite video output marked "VCR OUT" (item 8 on page 5) to "VIDEO IN" on the video recorder. This
output should be terminated at the VCR.
Connect "VIDEO OUT" on the video recorder to the video input marked "VCR IN" (item 3 on page 5) on System Sprite.
S-VHS video connections (colour models only)
If the VCR supports S-VHS then System Sprite colour models can be connected using this type of connection.
Connect "VCR OUT" (item 10 page 5) to the "S-VHS IN" (S-video) on the VCR.
Connect "S-VHS OUT" on the VCR to the "VHS IN" (item 11 on page 5) on the multiplexer.
During configuration change the
menu, video source option from composite to S-VHS.
