3. Event Display
When an event has occurred, an event display will be
displayed.
The position of an event display will be symmetrical to
the position where the time is displayed. When the time
is displayed at the lower left of the screen, an event dis-
play will be displayed at the upper right corner of the
screen. The default position of an event display is the
upper right corner of the screen (R-UPPER).
The event display will be displayed differently as follows
depending on which event has occurred.
VMD-*:When motion is detected.
LOSS-*:When video loss has occurred.
COM-#:When a command alarm has occurred.
TRM-#:When a terminal alarm has occurred.
*: Camera number (1 - 16 for the WJ-HD316, 1 - 9 for
the WJ-HD309)
#: Alarm number
Note:Refer to page 45for further information about
event types and event actions.
 On Monitor 2 (To display live or
recorded images)
The negative circled number qindicates the camera title
default position.
Notes:
• The same images displayed on monitor 2 will be dis-
played on the VGA monitor.
• The camera title will be displayed with 16 characters (2
lines: 8 characters per line).
• When monitor 2 is selected, it is possible to switch the
way of displaying the camera title in the following order
by pressing the camera selection button 8 for the WJ-
HD316 (the camera selection button 6 for the WJ-
HD309) while the shift function is on (by pressing the
SHIFT button):
Display the camera title →Display the camera title in
list form →Not display the camera titleImportant:
• Since the VGA output from this unit is the same as for
televisions (720 H x 576 V pixels/vertical frequency of
50 Hz), it may be possible that both the left and right
edges can not fit onto the screen depending on the
VGA monitor.
• It is impossible to use the MONITOR (VGA) connector
when connecting the unit in the cascade connection.
• It may take time to display live images on the VGA mon-
itor if the VGA monitor is turned on/off when the unit is
running.
IMPORTANT
For European Customers
Some VGA monitors in Europe cannot be used simultane-
ously with television display. When you enable television
display in Europe, the refresh rate for the monitor and tele-
vision is set to 50Hz. Some VGA monitors may not support
this refresh rate and could be damaged.
• Please check the documentation supplied with your
monitor to see if your VGA monitor supports a refresh
rate of 50 Hz.
If your VGA monitor does not support 50 Hz (or if you
are not sure), then turn off your VGA monitor before
turning on WJ-HD316/WJ-HD309 when using your tele-
vision as a display.
