Connecting Devices to the CVG-M 24
When choosing a monitor to connect to the unit, ensure the monitor supports the video format used by the cameras
(NTSC or PAL). Some SECAM monitors will also work when the PAL video format is used.
If you choose a monitor with touchscreen support, you can use the monitor to view recorded video as well as live
video. For information about recommended types of touchscreen monitors, please consult your vendor.
NOTE: If you are connecting an RS232 PTZ controller to the unit, you cannot use touchscreen functionality
because the RS232 serial port is not available. For additional information, see Connecting a PTZ
Controller, page 14.
To connect the monitor to the CVG-M, you will need a cable with the following connectors:
• An appropriate connector (BNC or RCA) for the Video In connector of the monitor. (Consult the monitor
documentation or your vendor to find out which kind of connector is required for the particular monitor you
are using.)
• A BNC male connector to connect to the TV Out connector of the CVG-M. (A cable with an RCA connector
can be used by attaching a BNC-to-RCA adapter to the connector. See figure 7, page 14.)
To connect the output of a touchscreen to the unit, you will need a cable with the following connectors:
• An appropriate connector to connect to the touch output connector on the monitor
• A female 9-pin RS232 connector to connect to the CVG-M’s RS232/485 connector.
An appropriate cable should be supplied with the monitor.
To connect a CCTV monitor:
1. Install the monitor in its desired location.
2. Connect the Video In connector of the monitor to the TV Out connector of the CVG-M, using a cable with an
appropriate connector (BNC or RCA) for the Video In connector of the monitor on one end, and a BNC male
connector on the other end.
Note: If you are using a standard television set as a monitor, use the television’s AV connector as the Video
Input connector.
3. If the monitor is touch-sensitive, connect the touch output to the RS232/485 connector as follows:
•
•
•
If you are not connecting any RS485 PTZ controllers to the unit, connect the RS232 connector of the
touch output cable directly into the RS232/485 connector.
•
•
•
If you are also connecting one or more RS485 PTZ controllers to the unit, connect the RS232 connector
of the touch output cable to the RS232 connector of the RS232/485 adapter supplied with the unit (see
figure 23 below). Connect the PTZ controllers to the adapter as explained under Connecting a PTZ
Controller, page 14. Then plug the adapter into the RS232/485 connector on the unit.
