1.2 Product Description  
The DVMRe Triplex is a video multiplexer capable of recording from multiple cameras to an internal  
hard drive while simultaneously providing playback. Unlike outdated time-lapse VCRs, the DVMRe  
Triplex records high-resolution pictures. Digital recording improves playback quality over VCRs, and  
eliminates the hassle of cleaning heads, changing tapes or servicing motors. The unit can also be  
programmed to record continuously by overwriting the oldest recorded data. Depending on the setup,  
the DVMRe Triplex can store from a few hours to more than 3 years of color images.  
Programmable search features eliminate time consuming Fast Forwarding or Rewinding of tapes,  
searching for critical data. Search for recorded images or events by alarm, time, date, motion, video  
loss, camera number and ASCII cash register or ATM text.  
Caution! This products primary purpose is to furnish video multiplexing and recording.  
Although the unit has alarm handling and motion detection functions, they are considered  
secondary features. This unit should not be the only alarm device on site.

1.5 Installation Environment  
Power: Ensure that the installation site’s AC power is stable and within the rated voltage of the 12  
Volt DC power supply. If the site’s AC power is likely to have spikes or power dips, use power line  
conditioning or an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS).  
Ventilation: Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the unit is well ventilated. Take  
note of the locations of the cooling vents in the unit’s enclosure, and ensure that they are not  
obstructed.  
Temperature: Consider the unit’s operating temperature (0 to 40 °C) and non-condensing humidity  
specifications (10% to 80%) before choosing an installation location. Extremes of heat or cold beyond  
the specified operating temperature limits may cause the unit to fail. Do not install the unit on top of  
other hot equipment. Leave space between rack mounted units.  
Moisture: Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Moisture can damage the internal components.  
Do not install the unit near sources of water.

Camera Inputs  
Cable: 75-Ohm Coaxial  
Connectors: BNC  
There are two BNC jacks for each camera. Either  
jack can receive a camera signal. The signal is  
looped (directly connected to the other jack), making  
the camera signal available to other equipment.  
Auto Terminating: Yes  
Passive Looping: Yes  
The camera input connectors are Auto Terminating.  
This means that the input signal will automatically be terminated with 75-Ohms unless a 2nd cable is  
connected to the 2nd BNC connector of the same camera input. Make sure there is 75-Ohm  
termination at the end of the video line if the signal is looped through the DVMRe Triplex.  
Time base correction is performed during digital capture. As a result, cameras do not require  
synchronization.  
See section 3.14 for information about disabling unused camera jacks in the menu system.

1.8 Power-Up  
It is important that the power-up procedures be followed carefully. The unit uses its auto-detect  
feature to detect camera signals during power-up, and configure itself automatically.  
Power-up procedure  
Once the system installation is complete, apply  
power in the following order:  
Power Supply Input  
Voltage: 12 Volt DC  
1. Energize the monitors and all of the cameras.  
Power: 60 Watt (5 Amp)  
2. Energize the DVMRe Triplex.  
Connector: 2.1mm barrel, center positive  
Once power is applied to the unit, it will begin its power-up procedure. The unit will begin by displaying  
the software version on Monitor-A, then the unit will begin recording automatically.  
Check Video Input Quality  
Check the picture quality by selecting each camera for full screen display. If the picture quality is poor,  
check the following items:  
·
·
·
·
·
The BNC connections.  
The loop-through terminations.  
The video levels of incoming signals.  
The possibility of ground loops.  
Consult the camera’s installation instructions for additional information about proper camera setup.  
Check Record And Playback Quality  
Record for at least three minutes at the default record rate. Then play back the recording, selecting  
each camera for full screen display. Check the playback picture quality.  
1.9 Minimum Recommended Menu Setup

About Events: An Event is an action that the unit acknowledges by recording at the  
Event Record Rate, yet it is not cause for an Alarm. Events may be created two ways,  
via RS232 text insertion and Activity detection.  
NOTE  
Example of an Event: A camera is pointed at the front door inside the lobby during  
business hours. With the Event Camera Settings Type set to Event, the unit does not  
record while the doorway is empty. When activity motion detection senses that  
someone is entering or leaving the doorway, the unit begins recording at the Event  
Record Rate and stops recording when the motion ceases.  
RS232 Event: See section 7 for information about generating an Event via RS232, and  
optionally inserting ASCII text to mark the Event.  
Activity Detection Event: See Setup Parameters in section 3.13 for detailed  
information about configuring activity detection as an event in the menu system.  
Pre Event Duration: The unit will record up to 5 seconds of data ahead of the event trigger, at the  
Event Record Rate. Select from 0 to 5 seconds.  
Post Event Duration: The unit will record up to 250 seconds after the completion of the Event, at the  
Event Record Rate. Select from 0 to 250 seconds.  
q
Main Menu ® Record ® Timelapse Record Rate  
The unit records at the Timelapse Record Rate under normal conditions, when there are no alarms,  
events, or activity present. Record rates are measured in both Pictures Per Second (pps) and Seconds  
Per Picture (spp).  
The maximum record rate per camera is inversely proportional to the number of cameras connected to  
the unit. The fewer cameras connected, the higher the maximum record rate for each camera, and vice  
versa. The maximum record rate for multiple cameras is 48pps (NTSC)(40pps PAL). The maximum  
record rate for a single camera is 30pps (NTSC)(25pps PAL).  
The bottom right corner of the menu contains a record duration calculator. The top line indicates the  
estimated recording time for the unit in Time-lapse record mode only. The bottom line indicates the  
estimated recording time, taking into consideration the amount of time the unit will spend in Activity,  
Event, and/or Alarm record mode.

Activity Detection Setup  
If Activity is selected in Motion Detection Type field, the following parameters are enabled:  
Relay Output: The unit may be configured to activate a relay output when motion detection is  
present. Select either 1, 2, 1+2 (both relays), or None.  
Link to Event: Selecting Yes in this menu will activate the event record speed when activity detection  
is present.  
Intrusion Detection Setup  
If Intrusion is selected in Motion Detection Type field, the following parameters are enabled:  
Sensitivity: Rotate the Shuttle to change the motion detection sensitivity, 10 being the most  
sensitive.  
Rejection: Configure the unit’s false alarm rejection feature by selecting Low, Medium, or High.  
These settings are based on the number of simultaneously triggered zones and the persistence of  
motion in a scene. The Low setting is the most sensitive to motion. The Medium setting will filter out  
most false alarm situations due to sudden luminance changes over the whole scene (clouds passing  
over). The High setting will filter out sudden luminance changes as well as spurious motion events  
that do not persist for a number of frames (a bird flying past the lens).  
Target Size: This setting is the minimum number of zones (from the 16 x 16 grid) that must be  
activated simultaneously before it is considered to be valid motion.  
Link To Alarm: Select the alarm number that you wish to activate when motion detection is activated.

Class  
The Class and Command fields identify the type of message.  
The Data Length is a 16-bit value indicating the number of bytes in the Data portion of  
the message. Data Length is sent using Intel byte ordering (Little Endian).  
Command  
Data Length

If both the start and end bits are clear, the associated text will be stored with the next recorded field for  
that camera. That cameras record rate will not be changed.  
B – Event 0x01  
If only the start bit is set, the associated text will be stored with the next recorded field for that camera.  
This will cause the selected camera, as well as any pre-event fields to be recorded at the Event  
Record Rate*.  
C – Event 0x02  
If only the end bit is set, the associated text will be stored with the next recorded field for that camera.  
This will start the post-event timer** after which, the selected camera will resume recording at the  
normal record rate*.

8.2 Configuration and  
Status  
iii) Requesting data from the DVMRe  
i) Data structure  
When a message of type 0xBB is sent to the  
DVMRe Triplex, it will respond by sending 16  
bytes of requested data.  
Byte 1: 0xFF  
Byte 2: Command Type  
0xAA: (SET) Update DVMRe with data.  
0xBB: (GET) Extract data from DVMRe.  
Byte 3: Data Length (n)  
Byte 4: Data Type  
a) Read Alarm History List  
Byte 1: 0xFF  
Byte 2: 0xBB  
Byte 3: 0  
0x61: Restart DVMRe  
0xFE: Send configuration data to DVMRe  
0x09: Read Alarm History from DVMRe  
0xFF: Read configuration and status data  
from DVMRe  
Byte 4: 0x09  
When the "Read Alarm History List" message is  
received by the DVMRe Triplex, it responds by  
sending a start byte 0xFF, followed by ASCII  
strings for every alarm event in its alarm history  
list, and a stop byte, 0xFF. Each string is  
formatted as follows:  
Byte 5: Data byte 1  
Byte 6: Data byte 2  
:

b) Send data to DVMRe Triplex  
<CR> Carriage return (0x0D)  
<LF> Line feed (0x0A)  
Configuration data can be sent to the DVMRe  
Triplex, to change the way it operates. The  
data is arranged in the form of 16 byte blocks,  
numbered from 1 to 213. Blocks 182, 183 and  
185 are status blocks, and hence cannot be  
written to. For details about the contents of  
each block, contact GE-Interlogix and request  
the Block Data Structure for the DVMRe  
Triplex.  
Example: 03. 11/27 22:48:58 15  
b) Read data from DVMRe Triplex  
Configuration and status data can be read from  
the DVMRe Triplex. The data is arranged in the  
form of 16 byte blocks, numbered from 1 to 213.  
For details about the contents of each block,  
contact GE-Interlogix and request the Block  
Data Structure for the DVMRe Triplex.  
Byte 1: 0xFF  
Byte 2: 0xAA  
Byte 3: 17  
Byte 4: 0xFE  
Byte 5: Block Number  
(1-181, 184, 186-213)  
Byte 6: data[0]  
Byte 1: 0xFF  
Byte 2: 0xBB  
Byte 3: 1  
Byte 4: 0xFF  
Byte 5: Block Number 1-213 or 255 if all  
blocks are requested.  
:
:
:
:
Byte 21:data[15]  
The DVMRe Triplex responds to the “Read data”  
request by sending all the requested data bytes  
consecutively, without any start or stop bytes.  
After sending a block or series of blocks, block  
number 255 must be updated to signal the end of  
the configuration session. All data bytes for block  
255 must be set to 0.  
A total of either 16 bytes or 3408 bytes will be  
transmitted, depending on whether a single block  
or all the blocks were requested.

10.2 Warranty and Return Information  
GE-Interlogix warrants all of its equipment for three years from the date of purchase. This warranty covers  
any defects in materials and workmanship. Equipment failures that are due to improper installation,  
modification, abuse, or acts of nature will not be covered by this warranty. The repair department will  
evaluate all equipment returned for repair to determine warranty coverage. The Tech Support Manager  
will resolve any questions that may arise during evaluation to make a final determination.  
Note: The three-year warranty does not apply to the following products:  
MobileView® and the monitor CRT, which carry a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.  
The warranty specifically covers any defects in material and workmanship and does not cover equipment  
that has been abused, damaged, or modified.  
For all warranty repairs, GE-Interlogix will cover all costs, including parts, labor, and shipping. Repaired  
equipment will be returned via the same method of shipment in which it was received. If a customer  
requests a faster return shipment, the difference will be charged.  
For all non-warranty repairs, the customer will be billed for parts, labor, and shipping. Labor will be  
billed in half-hour increments.  
Note: Customers requesting an estimate prior to repair will be notified by phone. If they cannot be reached, they will be notified by  
fax. If we are unable to reach the contact person for repair authorization after one phone attempt and two fax attempts, the  
equipment will be returned without being repaired. We will hold equipment no longer than two weeks.  
Advance Replacement Policy  
When an advance replacement is required, we will send the customer replacement equipment from our  
stock and receive the returned product in exchange. The received equipment will be evaluated and the  
repair department will determine whether it is a warranty replacement. If it is non-warranty, see our repair  
policy above for details. The following guidelines will be used for all advance replacements:  
· Fewer than 45 days from purchase, GE-Interlogix will replace the product with new equipment.  
· From 45 days to 1 year from purchase, GE-Interlogix will replace the product with refurbished
