RECEIVER WIRING  
Wire all camera receiver units that are to be used for PTZ operations. Note that although both Pelco P and Pelco D protocols are  
recognized and can be used with the controller, you cannot mix receiver protocols on the same DX3100. Select the protocol when  
programming the unit.  
1. Connect the control wires from the receiver to the RS-232 to RS-422/RS-485 converter. The DX3100 can support up to 16 PTZ devices.  
(Refer to Table B and Figure 4.)

ALARM WIRING  
Up to four alarm inputs can be wired to the DX3100. You can also connect up to two external devices to the unit. When an alarm input is  
triggered, the unit begins alarm recording. It can also activate the external devices.  
Use Figure 5 as a guide for wiring the alarm inputs and relay outputs.

Figure 5. Alarm Wiring Example  
WARNING: The alarm relay output provides a maximum load of 1 A at 24 VDC. Therefore, it is recommended that you install a  
fuse with your external circuit to protect the DX3100.  
NETWORK CONNECTION  
The DX3100 can be connected to other network equipment as part of a LAN (local area network). Contact your network administrator to  
set up your connections properly, assign static IP addresses, and so on.  
NOTE: The product’s network connection should be professionally integrated into existing on-site network configurations, where  
possible. The connecting cable should meet or exceed Cat5 cable specifications.

CONNECT POWER  
NOTE: The DX3100 is set at the factory to operate on 115 VAC. For 230 VAC operation, move the voltage selection slide switch (located  
below the power input cord connector) to the 230 VAC position. After attaching your equipment to the rear panel connectors, connect the  
power cable to the unit. The unit powers up automatically.  
NOTE: The unit defaults to LIVE VIEW mode immediately after power-up.  
POWER CYCLING AND SCAN MODE OPERATION  
The DX3100 enters SCAN mode when it is powered up. In this mode, it performs housekeeping functions and guards the integrity of  
recorded video files and their file structure. Users cannot control this process; it is automatic.  
SCAN mode time can be affected by the following three issues:  
1. Number of recorded files: The more files there are, the longer the scan takes. When a system is powered up for the first time, there  
is no scan operation because there are few recorded files.  
2. Disk drive size in GB: The larger the system hard drive, the greater the number of files that can be recorded.  
3. Type of power-up: SCAN mode is faster after a normal power cycle than after an abnormal power loss.  
The word “SCAN” appears on the monitor during power-up at about the same time that “REC” appears (refer to Figure 6). During the scan,  
the user cannot enter either SETUP or PLAYBACK modes. Only LIVE VIEW and PTZ modes are available. As soon as the unit finishes the  
scan, normal operation can resume.  
Figure 6. Scan Mode Engaged  
If you try to access either the SETUP or PLAYBACK modes, the DX3100 displays the following message:  
“WAIT UNTIL FILE SCAN IS COMPLETED”

OPERATING AND PROGRAMMING CONTROLS  
The DX3100 can be operated and programmed either from the front panel of the unit or from the IR (infrared) remote controller.  
NOTE: Each DX3100 has its own identification number or ID. This ID can be changed on the RECORDER SETUP screen on the unit. If you  
change the ID on the DX3100, you must enter the new ID on the IR remote controller (refer to DX3100-IR Remote Synchronization for more  
information).  
Many controls on both the front panel and the IR remote controller share functions. The function of these buttons depends on the mode  
(LIVE VIEW, SETUP, PLAYBACK, or PTZ). For example, the arrow buttons on the front panel and the IR remote controller are used differently  
in LIVE VIEW, SETUP and PTZ modes.  
Refer to the controls for each mode on the following pages. Front panel controls appear on page 13; IR remote controller controls appear  
on page 14.

DX3100-IR REMOTE SYNCHRONIZATION  
If your IR remote controller does not work with a specific DX3100, perform the following:  
1. Obtain the IR remote identification number for the DX3100 from your administrator, or, if you can access SETUP mode on the DX3100,  
open the RECORDER SETUP screen and note the IR REMOTE ID (refer to Figure 12). It will be a number between 00 and 99.  
2. Press the - and + buttons on the IR remote controller simultaneously. These buttons are located on the left and right side of the 0  
button (refer to Figure 10).  
3. The red LED on the unit should light.  
4. Use the number keys on the remote to immediately enter the IR REMOTE ID for the DX3100. If the remote accepts the number, the  
red LED will flash on and off a couple of times.  
The IR remote controller should now be able to control the DX3100.

STORAGE CALCULATIONS  
Due to the nature of digital video recording, the particular capabilities of the DX3100, and the different parameters for each installation, it  
is very difficult to calculate storage capacity. Desired image size, record rate, image quality, and number of channels are only a few of the  
variables that affect capacity.  
Before configuring the DX3100, work through this section to identify the desired settings for the DX3100 as well as all channels that are  
connected to it. This section describes how different settings impact storage capacity.  
NOTE: Values indicating video storage capacity are estimates only. These estimates are to be used as guidelines in determining proper  
hard drive requirements. Many user-selectable factors, including image quality, recording rate, image content/motion, and video noise,  
affect the total unit storage capacity. These estimates will vary based on actual use. These estimates are not an implied or expressed  
guarantee of actual performance.

Average Image Size in KB (IMAGE SIZE)  
File size affects how long you can record for a given time period. The greater the file size, the  
faster you will use available hard disk space. The resolution setting reflects the size of the  
recorded display and thus the KB size per image. For 352 x 240, the average file size is 3KB to  
5KB. A 640 x 240 choice results in a 4KB to 8KB average file size. These resolution settings  
only affect the image size, not the image quality.  
Actual image size can vary within the ranges mentioned for the given resolutions based on  
the dynamic interplay of image motion and image complexity (over which you have no  
control). Moreover, the IMAGE QUALITY and MOTION SENSITIVITY settings for each channel  
in the CAMERA SETUP menu have an effect. For example, if MOTION SENSITIVITY is set to  
100 for a channel, it will record all of the time.

Images per Second (IMAGE RATE)  
Enter the total images per second (ips) to be shared by all channels on the DX3100. The  
unit can record 1 to 30 ips for NTSC or 1 to 25 ips for PAL. Enter the highest ips rate  
required for your installation. Keep in mind that the higher the IMAGE RATE, the lower  
the storage capacity. However, at lower IMAGE RATEs, the unit records fewer images  
per channel.  
For example, on a DX3116 with 16 channels that is set to 30 ips (NTSC), the unit  
records 1.875 ips for each channel (30 ips / 16 channels). If there are only 12 channels  
at 30 ips, the unit records 2.5 ips for each channel. If you have 15 channels at 15 ips,  
the unit only records one ips for each channel.

deactivation.  
DURATION  
When the alarm is triggered, the unit records the alarmed channel at the full frame rate until  
the alarm is deactivated.  
Channels that are programmed for alarm recording have precedence over channels that are  
not alarmed. When an alarm is triggered, the alarmed channel records at the per-image rate  
entered in the RECORDER SETUP menu. If the ips setting is relatively high, the recorded  
image rate of the alarmed channel approaches real-time viewing quality. If more than one  
alarmed channel is triggered, the ips rate is shared equally among the alarmed channels. All  
nonalarmed channel recording is halted for the duration of the alarm.

STARTING PLAYBACK MODE  
Enter PLAYBACK mode from LIVE VIEW mode by pressing the PLAYBACK button. A sample of the opening on-screen overlay is shown in  
Figure 23.  
Figure 23. Opening Playback Overlay  
The DX3100 always defaults to channel 1 when you first enter PLAYBACK mode. When you select a different channel, the overlay appears  
for that channel.  
The BEGIN and END fields on the overlay give the range of recorded video for the selected channel. The current END time does not  
change until you exit PLAYBACK mode.  
NOTE: The time at the bottom of the screen applies to the last video image that was displayed. It has nothing to do with the current  
BEGIN-END timeline. The pause icon appears in the lower right corner.  
Recorded video is not stored in one linear, contiguous track that stretches from the BEGIN to END time stamps. Instead, recorded video is  
stored in time files. Each channel is assigned its own set of time files.  
Time files are each limited to one hour. At the end of an hour, the unit closes the current file for the channel and starts a new file.  
When you enter PLAYBACK mode, the DX3100 makes all complete time files available for searching. Open time files, that is, files with  
less than one hour of video, are not available for searching. To view video from an open time file, refer to Searching Open Time Files.

SEARCHING FOR SPECIFIC VIDEO  
In addition to switching to a different channel, you can switch to video at an earlier or a later point in time. Then you can switch to a  
different channel, based on the new time frame.  
To access a different time frame, use one of the following methods to select the desired date and time:  
DX3100 Front Panel:  
1. Press the and buttons to select a field to change: month, day, year, hour, minutes.  
2. Press the and buttons to increase or decrease the field value.  
3. Press the ENTER button.  
4. Use the VCR-type controls to playback video.  
IR Remote Controller:  
1. Press the + or - button for DAY, HOUR, and MIN to select the desired date and time.  
2. Press the ENTER button.  
3. Use the VCR-type controls to playback video.  
NOTE: There is no cursor movement when using the IR Remote Controller to select a date and time.  
In Figure 26, the user switches from channel 1 to channel 2, keeping the same time frame. Then the user backs up a couple of hours.  
When the user switches to channel 8, the DX3100 maintains the new time frame.  
NOTE: If you select a date and time, but do not press the ENTER button, the DX3100 will ignore your date and time parameters.

SEARCHING OPEN TIME FILES  
You can only search for video within closed time files. For example, if it is 10:40 a.m., you can search all files with video prior to 10:00  
a.m. However, you can close an open time file and then play it back. In this example, this would include video that has been recorded  
since 10:00 a.m.  
To play back recorded video for an open time file, use the following procedure:  
1. Press the PLAYBACK button to enter PLAYBACK mode. This takes you to the last point in time that a search was done. The date  
and time probably differ greatly from the current date and time.  
2. Identify the date and time to view. In the above example, you may want to view video that was recorded at 10:30 a.m.  
3. Set the date and time to the time frame to observe. Using the above example, you might enter 10:20 a.m.  
NOTE: You can only search open time files that are at least five minutes old.  
4. As soon as you press the ENTER button, the DX3100 closes the open time file. Now you can search and play back video up to the  
time the file was closed.  
When you close an open time file, the system updates the END time that appears on the monitor when you open PLAYBACK mode again.  
The remaining portion of the normal time file (in this case, 10:20 to 11:00 a.m.) becomes the second time file for the 10:00 a.m. to 11:00  
a.m. time slot. You created the first file when you closed the open time file. The unit creates the second file when it closes the open time  
file at 11:00 a.m.

MPEG STRUCTURE AND FRAME OPERATIONS  
There is a difference between the displayed time index during step-forward and step-backward operations. This results from the  
compression techniques used in MPEG.  
When video is recorded, the DX3100 does not store every piece of information contained in each video frame. Otherwise, the file would  
be too large. Instead, the unit stores all of the information in some video frames. These complete frames are called I-frames.  
The unit also creates P-frames between successive I-frames. P-frames contain only the changes since the previous I-frame or P-frame.  
Because of this construction, a step-forward command displays video on a frame-by-frame basis. However, this is not possible when  
stepping backward. The step-backward command causes jumps from one I-frame backward to the previous I-frame because P-frames do  
not contain reverse direction changes.  
Also, if you pause forward video playback and it stops between I-frames, the video will skip to the next I-frame when playback is  
resumed. To view the skipped P-frames, rewind past a couple of I-frames and play the video forward again.

SAVING IMAGES TO FLOPPY DISKETTE  
The FDD function saves the currently displayed video image to a floppy diskette. You must be in PLAYBACK mode. To save the image,  
perform the following:  
1. Insert a formatted floppy diskette into the diskette drive.  
2. Make sure the image to save is currently on-screen.  
3. Press the FDD button on the front panel. On the IR remote controller, press the PTZ button.  
4. The on-screen display will read  
“NETWORK IS STOPPED”  
“WRITING IMAGE FILE DATA TO FLOPPY”  
“DATA WRITING IS COMPLETE”  
After the image file has been saved, the on-screen display reads  
“NETWORK IS RESTARTED”  
The DX3100 writes two image files to the diskette. The .mpg file can be viewed on many different platforms by any standard MPEG-1  
player. However, .mpg files are not encrypted and can therefore be easily altered or forged.  
The .dsf file can only be viewed with the DX3100RX software. It has an over-128-bit encryption key so it cannot be altered or forged. It is  
very secure. However, it cannot be viewed on many different platforms.  
NOTE: Images stored in the .dsf or .mpg files consist of 16 consecutive images that include the selected (displayed) image. The selected  
image may appear anywhere among the 16 images; it is not fixed. These images are called a GOP (Group Of Pictures) that consists of one  
I-frame and 15 P-frames according to MPEG-1 structure.  
NOTE: If an alarm is triggered during an image-saving operation, the saving operation will finish before the unit processes the alarm.

EVENT  
Press the EVENT button to display a list of dates with recorded video (refer to Figure 28). Press the up and down arrow buttons to select a  
date. The events for a date are listed as you step through each date. Press the right arrow button to move the cursor to the event list for  
the selected date. Then press the up and down arrow buttons to locate a specific event for the specific date.  
To exit the event display, press the EVENT button again.  
NOTE: You can also display event dates by pressing the SEQ button on the IR remote controller while in PLAYBACK mode.  
Figure 28. Event Display  
The event display contains data about important system events. These include the following:  
1. The time the unit was powered on or off normally.  
2. The time the machine was powered on after an abnormal power interruption.  
3. Specific information about alarm events.  
To play back video from a specific alarm event, navigate to the event, for example, ALARM001-CH01. When you press the ENTER button,  
the unit jumps to the start of the recorded video for that alarm. Use the VCR-type controls to play back the video full-screen at its recorded  
rate.  
NOTE: Global events include DVR POWER ON and DVR POWER OFF, which are not channel-specific. Local events include ALARMxxx-CHyy,  
which gives an alarm event number for each channel.

PTZ MODE  
PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) mode lets you control camera movement from the DX3100. Before you can control a camera, make sure the camera is  
configured for PTZ operation (refer to Receiver Wiring, Recorder Setup and Camera Setup).  
To operate a PTZ camera, press the PTZ button. The PTZ instructions appear briefly on the monitor (refer to Figure 29). If PTZ is not  
enabled on the DX3100, the unit displays the following message:  
“NO CAMERA WITH P/T/Z ENABLED”  
Figure 29. PTZ Instructions  
Press the button for the camera to control. Then press the direction arrow buttons to move the camera. If the camera is not PTZ-capable,  
the unit displays the following message:  
“P/T/Z OF CHyy IS DISABLED”  
To exit PTZ mode, press the PTZ button.  
ARROW BUTTONS: FRONT PANEL VS. REMOTE  
Pressing the arrow buttons on the front panel operates slightly different than pressing the arrow buttons on the IR remote controller.  
When you press an arrow button on the front panel, the camera moves in that direction until you release the button; then camera motion  
stops. When you press an arrow button on the IR remote controller, the camera continues to move in that direction. You must press the  
same arrow button again to stop camera movement in that direction. You can also press a different arrow button to immediately start  
moving the camera in a different direction; you do not have to stop it first.

To zoom out, press the ZM WIDE button on the front panel or the ZOOM OUT button on the IR remote controller. You cannot use both  
arrow buttons and zooming buttons at the same time.  
LENS FUNCTIONS  
In PTZ mode, you can focus near or far and also open or close the iris.  
To access these functions from the front panel, press the FN button. “FN” appears next to “PTZ” at the top of the screen. Press the  
FOCUS NEAR or FOCUS FAR buttons to focus the camera. Press the IRIS CLOSE or IRIS OPEN buttons to close or open the iris. When  
you are finished, press the FN button again. “FN” disappears from the top of the screen.  
To focus the camera using the IR remote controller, press the FOCUS NEAR or FOCUS FAR buttons. To adjust the iris opening using the  
IR remote controller, press the IRIS + or IRIS - buttons.  
PTZ TROUBLESHOOTING  
If you cannot control a PTZ camera, check the following:  
1. Verify the PTZ protocol setting in the RECORDER SETUP screen on the DX3100 against the protocol setting on all receivers.  
2. Verify that the receiver baud rate setting matches the baud rate for the PTZ protocol (PELCO D or PELCO P).  
3. Verify that the camera address for each receiver matches the PTZ RX address for the camera in the CAMERA SETUP screen on the  
DX3100.  
4. Verify that the switch on the RS-232 to RS-422/RS-485 converter is set to DCE.  
5. Verify that receiver power is turned on.  
6. Verify that the wires between the DX3100 and the receivers are connected correctly.  
7. Verify that all connector and wire contacts are secure.  
8. Check for broken wires.

ALARM DISPLAY ISSUES  
You can view alarm video in two ways. You can search for and play back video from specific alarm events (refer to Playback Mode). You  
can also view alarm event video in real time, as the event occurs, as a natural consequence of alarm wiring and programming.  
When there is a valid alarm event, the DX3100 performs the following steps:  
1. The unit immediately directs system control to record and display the alarm event. This is done regardless of any user pre-alarm  
activity.  
2. The channel associated with the alarm is displayed full-screen, if there is only one alarm.  
3. The total available record rate (30 ips for NTSC) is used to record and display the alarm on the monitor. If more than one alarm  
occurs, the ips rate is shared between active alarms.  
4. Alarm events are displayed as they occur. If a second alarm occurs, the screen format changes to 2x2 so that video from both alarms  
can be displayed. If more than four alarms occur, the screen format changes to 3x3. For example, if Channel 1 and Channel 5 are both  
alarmed at the same time, video from each will appear in the top left and top right panes of the 2x2 display format.  
NOTE: The unit displays alarm text information at the lower right of the screen. This text appears in the format: ALARM * * * *. The  
asterisks are placeholders for active alarm inputs 1 through 4. For example, “ALARM *2 * 4” appears when alarm inputs 2 and 4 are  
active; in this example, alarm inputs 1 and 3 are not active.  
5. When all alarms have ceased, either because the alarm record time has elapsed or the alarm has been reset, the existing display  
after the last occurring alarm remains on-screen. The system does not return to the pre-alarm position. However, you can resume  
normal system operation and manually return to the pre-alarm display using normal button functions.  
6. When an alarm event occurs on the DX3100, the remote software (DX3100RX) disconnects all live and playback video currently  
being viewed.
