2.5 Audio and video input and output connections

2.5.1 Video input connections

The video input port is a BNC connector plug. The type of input signal is PAL/

NTSC BNC(1.0VP-P,75Ω).

The video signal must be of the correct standard and have a high signal to noise 

ratio, low aberration and low interference. The image must be clear and have 

natural color and brightness in the environment in which it is to operate.

Insure the vidicon signal is stable and credible

The vidicon should be installed in a suitable location where is away from 
backlighting and low illumination or uses backlighting and low illumination 
compensation.
The earth and power supply of the vidicon and the DVR should be shared and 
stable.

Insure the transmission line is stable

The video transmission line should be a high quality coaxial pair which is suitable 

for the transmission distance. If the transmission distance is too great, you should 

use shielded twisted pair, video compensation equipment or transmit by iber 

optics to insure the signal quality.
The video signal line should be away from all electro magnetic Interference and 
other signal line equipment. High voltage current should be especially avoided.

Insure the connection is stable

The signal and shield lines should be connected with a tight connection which 

will help avoid false signals, joint welding and oxidation.

2.5.2 Video output connections and options

The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VP-P,75Ω) and VGA output 

(selective coniguration).

If you replace your Qvis monitor with a computer display, there are some issues 

to take note of.
1). Do not leave the display turned on for a long time.
2). To ensure normal working demagnetize regularly.
3). Keep the display away from electro magnetic Interference.
