CoolDude 0 Posted May 29, 2005 Well I finally decided to buy the Sanyo and use it along with my Robot 16 channel multiplexer. DVR will not play back the video that has been recorded thru the Robot or it is not recognising the encoding/decoding from the DVR. Any suggestions? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joebo 0 Posted May 31, 2005 First try it in 2-hr mode and make sure all is well (both units should be set for 2-hr. mode). No syncing req'd (between mux and dvr) when recording at this speed. Next, if the Sanyo DVR has a camera switcher pulse output, connect that to the auto-detect VCR record speed input on the Robot mux (connect a gnd. as well). This will garuantee that DVR and mux are sync'd when recording in a time-lapse mode (e.g. 12hr., 24hr., etc). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCTVKING 0 Posted May 31, 2005 You won't be able to put any mux into the M800 series recorders from Sanyo. They were made to be single channel replacements for Sanyo's casino market. The MPEG2 compression will not allow a mux signal. The unit is the best on the market for storage, picture quality and ease of use for a single-channel solution. On a 240gb hard drive, you can store 14 days of video at 30fps and 720x480 quality, all in a half-size chassis DVR. That is remarkable for a digital recorder. However, the mux interface is an issue for non-casino applications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoolDude 0 Posted May 31, 2005 Thank you. I figured it was maybe something to do with the age of my mux but your answer will save me days of trying to make it work if they are not compatable. Anyone want a DSR-M810 cheap? PM me if interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted May 31, 2005 The GE DSR-1000 or 2000e will do what you want. Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
