INTRODUCTION  
Thank you for purchasing Advanced Technology Video’s QSP-660 four camera Real Time Quad. This  
instruction manual describes the powerful features of this product for basic and advanced operation. It also  
covers the installation steps that will allow quick and easy integration into your security system.  
The following section provides an overview of the operational features of the QSP-660. If you are familiar with  
the QSP-660, you should proceed to the Getting Started section on page 4 for step-by-step installation  
instructions.  
OPERATIONAL FEATURES DESCRIPTION  
Live Camera Displays  
The QSP-660 is initially in the Live Camera Display mode whenever power is applied to the unit. Live cameras  
can be displayed in quad, PIP, dual PIP, split screen, squish screen, or full frame formats. In addition, any  
display can be frozen using a front panel button, the IR remote control, or external signal input. In any of these  
display modes, the unit can be programmed to sequence one or more cameras with a programmable dwell  
time.  
DigiLock and Playback  
In VCR playback mode, digital information is used to compensate for the poor vertical synchronization signals  
frequently encountered with time lapse VCRs.  
The QSP-660 DigiLock decoding reconstructs the timing so that successfully decoded frames are read into  
monitor display memory consistently without any jumping, tearing, or other side-effects of poor synchronization.  
VCR Bypass  
Many VCRs have on-screen programming menus that require a monitor for programming the VCR. The QSP-  
660 includes a VCR Bypass feature that facilitates VCR programming by allowing the QSP-660 VCR input  
(VCR’s video output) to be routed directly to the display monitor.  
Advanced Alarm System with Alarm Scheduling  
The QSP-660 contains the most advanced and flexible Alarm System available in a video real time quad. The  
QSP-660 Advanced Alarm System supports External Alarms and Video Loss Alarms. In addition, the QSP-660  
alarm system can be enabled and disabled through a 7-day Alarm Schedule and/or a user programmable  
external Master Enable signal.  
The QSP-660 has four alarm channels associated with the four camera inputs. Each alarm channel includes a  
programmable external alarm and Video Loss Alarm. External alarm inputs are individually selectable for  
contact closure or opening as well as logic levels (+5V, 0V). Each alarm channel may also be individually  
selected for enable/disable through the QSP-660 Alarm Schedule. The Alarm Schedule is a 7-day timer  
schedule with a single ON and OFF time associated with each day of the week. The QSP-660 also has an  
external input signal that can be selected between picture Freeze and Alarm Master Enable. The Alarm Master  
Enable signal can be used in conjunction with your burglar alarm control panel so that the alarm control panel  
can enable or disable the QSP-660 alarm system. For more information on “Alarm Scheduling” see page 13.  
Alarm Log and Printing  
The QSP-660 has an internal Alarm Log that provides storage for up to 100 alarm events. In addition, its text  
can be transmitted to the serial port for printing or storage on a host computer. The Alarm Log is a circular  
storage buffer so that the most recent alarm events are always stored. Alarm event text can also be sent directly  
to the serial port, when an event occurs, for immediate printing or external processing. Alarm events, which may  
be printed and stored in the Alarm Log, include any enabled External Alarms or Video Loss Alarms. For  
instructions on the use of the QSP-660 alarm log and printing features see “Alarm Log” on page 15.

Installation Steps  
The following steps should be followed to ensure proper connection and set up of your QSP-660.  
A diagram showing the overall connection configuration of the QSP-660 is shown above.  
The installation steps are:  
1.  
Connect your cameras, monitor, and VCR (if recording is necessary) to the QSP-660. Refer to  
the “Back Panel Connections” and “Video Line Termination Switches” section on page 5 for  
proper connections and switch settings for your particular installation.  
2.  
Power up the QSP-660, then enter the QSP-660 set up menus by pressing and holding the  
DISPLAY button for approximately 3 seconds. Refer to the Set Up menus section of the  
manual starting on page 8. Set the current time and date in the QSP-660 using the Set  
Time/Date menu.

If your VCR has internal on-screen menus for its set up, use the VCR Bypass feature of the  
QSP-660 to view the VCR’s on-screen menus on the display monitor. See the “VCR Bypass  
Function” description on page 3.  
At this point, the basic configuration of your QSP-660 is complete. You may now proceed to set  
more advanced functions as required for your installation (alarms, camera labels, etc.) Refer to  
the Advanced Function menus starting on page 9 for detailed information.  
BACK PANEL CONNECTIONS  
The four-camera input BNC connectors are labeled LOOP and the factory default configuration is 75 ohm  
termination ON. One DIP switch and three jumpers inside the unit (see section below) determine whether each  
inputs’ 75 ohm termination is ON or OFF.  
Connect the QSP-660 VCR IN to the video output of the VCR and the QSP-660 VCR OUT to the video input of  
the VCR. The alarm connector is a standard DB-15, which will mate with the included alarm wire adapter board  
or standard computer-type cable. See page 18 for further alarm connection information.

Some alarming devices (such as some motion detectors)  
generate very brief alarms lasting only a fraction of a second.  
The Hold Detected Alarms time is the amount of time that  
the alarm event will be held so that the alarm camera image  
can be kept on the display screen and to the VCR.  
The maximum time for holding an alarm display set in the Disable Detected Alarms option will determine  
how long a continuous alarm camera will be displayed. This can be adjusted so that a continuous alarm will  
not consume all of the VCR’s record time. A value of zero will result in no time limit for an alarm display.  
(The factory default is “0”).  
The Hold Alarmed Images time determines the image display hold time during multi-camera alarms. When  
multiple alarms occur simultaneously, the monitor display will sequence between all cameras with alarms  
using this dwell time.  
Both delay times are adjustable from 1 to 255 seconds. The default is 1 second for the activation hold and 3  
seconds for the sequence dwell time. Camera buttons are used to enter digits 1 through 4 (5-8 is VCR +1-  
4) the QUADRANT button is used to enter digit 9, and the PIP button is used to enter 0. The DISPLAY  
button stops the editing of a delay value.

In many applications the switch contact connection is  
between the alarm input pin and the chassis or signal ground.  
In the QSP-660 the contact connection can be between either  
the ground (alarm connector pin 15) or the +5V (alarm  
connector pin 13). In some alarming devices this is not a  
metallic switch contact but rather a solid state device that  
grounds (Logic Low) the input as a normal condition or as an  
alarm condition. The four activation modes are provided to

The Alarm Log menu is used to view the current contents of  
the internal Alarm Log and to clear the log or transmit the log  
contents to the serial port for printing. The Alarm Log contains  
the time, date, camera number, and type of alarm for each  
alarm event that has been stored. It can store up to 100 alarm  
events at which point new alarm events continue to be stored  
and replace the oldest event in the buffer. An Overflow  
message is displayed in the upper left corner of the Alarm  
Log menu if more than 100 events have occurred indicating  
older alarm events have been displaced. An alarm event is  
generated when any enabled and valid scheduled External or  
Video Loss alarm occurs. For more information see Alarm  
Scheduling on page 13. The Alarm Log is a very useful tool  
for reviewing the VCR recording allowing rapid location and  
review of recorded video time periods of interest.

Security lockout is a means to disable the QSP-660 menus so  
that casual or inadvertent tampering can be prevented. It is  
not intended as a hard security measure and can be  
bypassed by removing the QSP-660 power followed by  
applying power and simultaneously pressing the DISPLAY  
button until the ATV name appears. This is not the preferred  
method of bypassing security because this step also returns  
all internal parameters and options to their factory defaults.

HAND HELD IR REMOTE CONTROL  
The hand held remote control allows easy remote operation of your QSP-660  
by duplicating the front panel buttons as shown in the diagram. One major  
difference between front panel and remote operation is that the individual  
camera buttons have been reduced to a single button. In this case, the first  
press of the camera button will cause the QSP-660 to display camera 1.  
Additional button presses will cycle the selection through each available  
camera and back to camera 1.  
Please note that the remote control may not work properly in the presence of  
strong sun light.  
Programming your ATV QSP-660 Remote Control  
When first installing or when changing the batteries in your QSP-660 Remote  
Control, it may be necessary to reprogram it for use with the  
QSP-660.  
Note: If your remote control does not appear to work for any  
reason, please perform the following steps.  
To program the remote control to work with the QSP-660:  
1.  
Ensure that batteries are properly installed in the QSP-660 Remote  
Control.  
2.  
3.  
Turn on the QSP-660 and connect a monitor.  
On the QSP-660, press the DISPLAY button to return to DISPLAY  
mode. Then press any of the 1-4 buttons to call up a full screen picture.  
4.  
5.  
On the remote control, press and hold the VCR button followed by the  
DISPLAY. Hold both buttons together until the indicator lights up and  
blinks twice.  
Enter your five-digit code. The QSP-660 code set #1 equates to remote code 11414, and code set #2  
equates to code set 11344. The red LED will now blink twice and the remote control is set. Your QSP-  
660 is factory set for Code set #2. See page 16 to change the QSP-660 Code set.  
The codes are entered by using the four buttons shown in the above diagram (Freeze, Camera,  
Quadrant, PIP). For example, to enter the default code for a QSP-660 (code 11344) press the  
following:

ALARM INTERCONNECTION ON THE QSP-660  
1K Ohm  
The alarm connector on the back panel allows input of four external  
control signals to affect the behavior of the real time quad under  
alarm conditions. Alarm inputs are provided for each camera. A  
picture freeze input is also provided to allow the picture to be frozen.  
These inputs are normally generated by a switch located at a door,  
window, or other point in the installation where a camera is  
monitoring activity. Many installations use an open switch that  
requires a switch closure to activate the alarm. As part of the QSP-  
660’s normal alarm video processing, an alarm output is generated  
on the same back panel connector. In addition to the alarm inputs, a  
picture freeze input is also provided. While picture freeze is  
activated, any present camera image is retained on the display and  
new video information is ignored. A picture freeze does not trigger  
the alarm output.

Alarm inputs contain series resistors for ESD (Electro Static  
Discharge) and lightning damage protection. The outputs also  
contain series resistors to limit output current to prevent damage to  
the QSP-660 in the occurrence of shorting out the output pin.

Electrical Equivalent  
Note: When connecting the inputs and outputs up  
to other equipment, consideration should be given  
to the limitations introduced by these current-  
limiting resistors.  
The alarm connector on the QSP-660 is a DB-15,  
15-pin connector. For ease of installation, a breakout  
adapter is provided with the 16th terminal connected to  
chassis ground. A simple alarm connection is shown to  
the right using the QSP-660 alarm breakout adapter. In  
Typical Alarm Connections

the example to the right, switches are connected

OPEN = no alarm  
CLOSED = alarm activate  
directly to the alarm inputs, and a single output is  
connected to some signaling device or to a controlled  
piece of equipment. In this case, an external resistor is  
required to pull the output up to +5V (High) indicating a  
non-alarm condition.  
9
1KOhm  
The external resistor makes connection to higher  
voltage systems possible, such as a 12 VDC  
automobile system. In this application, the pull-up  
resistor is not tied to the QSP-660 +5V pin, but to the  
higher voltage system. Voltages greater than +5V must  
not exceed 30 VDC and the current through the output  
pin must not exceed 50 mA.

Failure to remain within the 30 VDC and 50 mA  
restriction could damage either the QSP-660, the  
output signaling device, or both.

In some installations, the alarm output is used to activate or deactivate high voltage and/or high current circuitry  
(110 VAC lights, siren, etc.) which cannot be controlled directly by the QSP-660.  
The easiest method to address the above cases is to use a relay, which has the number and rating on its  
contacts sufficient for the alarm output. Shown below are two methods to control a high current or high voltage  
device using a relay with a single, normally open contact. An internal, current limiting resistor for the pin 9 +5V  
supply will limit the usable relay current to something less than 10 mA (depending on the coil impedance). If a  
higher voltage or higher current relay is used, an external supply is required. Under these conditions the open  
circuit voltage (no alarm) on pin 9 must not exceed 30 VDC and the closed circuit current (alarm active) into pin  
9 must be less than 50 mA.  
The breakout adapter board is numbered compatibly with the DB-15 connector so the following table is  
applicable to either.  
Note: Pin 16 is only present on the Breakout Adapter and is connected to chassis ground.

RS-232 REMOTE CONTROL INTERFACE  
The QSP-660 has a built in RS-232 serial interface that supports remote control of the QSP-660 through simple  
ASCII commands. These commands provide access to the front panel button operations just as the IR Remote  
Control does.  
The QSP-660 serial interface is fixed at 2400 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. It uses the very simple  
command format:  
<command> <return>  
The command is 2 character or 2 character plus parameter and must be followed by a carriage return. The  
QSP-660 will respond with:  
>
?
if the command was recognized, or  
if the command was not recognized or is invalid  
The following commands are supported by the QSP-660 serial interface and behave just as if the indicated front  
panel button was pushed:  
BD  
BS  
BP  
BQ  
BV  
BF  
BB  
Display button  
Sequence button - will cause QSP-660 to start or stop sequencing during live mode.  
PIP button  
Quadrant button  
VCR button - will cause the QSP-660 to enter or exit VCR playback mode  
Freeze button - will cause the QSP-660 to freeze during live mode  
VCR button - will cause the QSP-660 to enter the VCR bypass mode  
BC n Camera buttons - is a number 1 through 4 corresponding to the camera number. A space or tab  
must be entered between the command and the number.  
BZ  
Zoom button – will expand a quadrant of any image in playback. Repeated entries of this  
command will rotate through the quadrants.  
Commands only take a fraction of a second to execute within the QSP-660. However, there must be a  
delay of at least 0.3 seconds (300 milliseconds) between the carriage return and start of the next  
command. The command decode prompt (>) may occur before the command has finished executing and  
should not be used as an indication to send the next command.  
For proper RS-232 operation, the 8 position DIP switch, SW 5, located next to the DB-9 RS-232 interface  
connector within the QSP-660 must be set to the factory default positions as indicated below. The DB-9  
connector pinout corresponds to a standard 9-pin DCE (modem) device.
