No. Designation Details

1 Video In Connect coaxial cables to the MMX from the video sources (NTSC or PAL). Cameras can

be connected to the MMX directly or through loop out or main out ports of DVRs.

2 Loop Connect coaxial cables to connect the video source of the MMX to another device.

3 Alarm In Connect alarm-in devices. Connect the ground side of the alarm inputs to the GND

connector. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm-In) and GND

(Ground) connectors. The voltage range of the alarm input is from 0V to 5V. The threshold

voltage of electrical switches for NC (Normally Close) is above 2.4V and for NO (Normally

Open) is below 0.3V, and should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected.

4 MMX ID Switch Conﬁgure the MMX ID. Every MMX should have its own unique ID.

Refer to MMX ID Switch for details on MMX ID switch setting.

5 Alarm Output/

Alarm Reset In

Connect an alarm-out device to the NC (Normally Closed) and C (Common) connectors

or the NO (Normally Open) and C (Common) connectors. NC/NO is a relay output which

sinks 2A at 125VAC and 1A at 30VDC. An external signal to the Alarm Reset In can be

used to reset the Alarm Out signal. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the

ARI (Alarm Reset In) and GND (Ground) connectors. The threshold voltage is below 0.3V

and should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected.
