2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TOA Multi-Switcher permits sequential viewing of up to 9 connected cameras (C-MS91D) or up to 16
cameras (C-MS161D) on a full monitor screen, as well as simultaneous viewing of individual camera images
in multi-screen displays (such as 4- and 9-segment split screens) to ensure that nothing is missed. It features
a frame recording function that records all connected cameras on a single VCR in sequential order while
viewing camera images in full-screen, multi-screen or zoom-screen modes. VCR-recorded images can also be
viewed in any of these formats. Additionally, when a change, or movement, is detected in any of the camera
images, a motion detection function can be set to record those cameras on a priority basis, remotely enabling
an alarm in the connected VCR or other external equipment, thus allowing camera images to be more
efficiently checked.
3. FEATURES
Duplex Operation
The Multi-Switcher's duplex operation permits real-time surveillance of connected camera images in multi-
screen (4-, 9-, 10- or 16-segment split-screen) displays while being frame-recorded.
High Picture Quality
The Multi-Switcher not only reduces flickering generated during split-screen display, but also realizes a high-
quality zoom display.
A Wealth of Display Functions
During real-time camera surveillance and VCR recording playback, camera images can be displayed on 4-, 9-
or 16-segment (C-MS161D only) split screens or 2x zoom screens. Also, during real-time camera surveillance,
connected camera images can be viewed on a 10-segment split screen, or in sequential order on either the
full screen or a 4-segment split screen.
Non-Stop Recording Misses Nothing
The Multi-Switcher features 2 sets of VCR connection terminals to permit continuous recording using 2 VCRs.
This ensures no recording is missed when changing or rewinding tapes. In addition, recording can still be
performed uninterrupted with one VCR even while the other is being used for playback.
Motion Detection
When a change or movement is detected in a camera image, the affected camera is preferentially recorded by
increasing the number of recording frames and remotely alarm-triggering the connected VCR or other external
equipment, thus allowing camera images to be more efficiently checked.
Key Locking
Front panel operation keys can be locked to prevent accidental changes of key settings.
Uninterrupted Time-Lapse Video Recording ("Auto-Recognition" Function)
The time-lapse VCR continues to record even if the switcher control signal cables are broken or faulty contact
occurs during time-lapse video recording.
Changeable Multi-Screen Display Positions
Camera display positions on multi-screen displays in Camera mode can be changed as desired.
Various System Configurations Possible
The additional use of the Multi-Switcher's optional dedicated remote controller and optional single-channel
controller creates an integrated Combination Camera/Multi-Switcher system. The Multi-Switcher can be
operated from remote locations by using the dedicated remote controller.
The RS-232C Interface
The Multi-Switcher's standard RS-232C computer connector permits easy remote operation by way of a
computer or other external equipment.
4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
About general maintenance parts
The rechargeable lithium battery powering the Multi-Switcher's built-in clock is a replaceable general
maintenance part. Its life expectancy is approximately 10 years (provided it is used at a room temperature of
approximately 25°C), although this can vary depending on the environment and conditions of battery use.
Note that the replacement of such maintenance parts is not covered by warranty. Please contact your TOA
dealer when replacing the battery.
Other precautions
• Use the Multi-Switcher in locations where the temperature ranges from 0°C to +40°C, and the humidity is
less than 90%.
• To clean, wipe with a dry cloth. When the Multi-Switcher is very dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral
detergent. Never use benzene, thinner or chemically-treated towel to avoid damage to the Multi-Switcher's
finish. Be sure to switch off the power before cleaning.
• Keep the front, rear and the sides of the Multi-Switcher at least 10 cm away from the wall surface.

11.18.4. Area Setting/Test Screen
• The screen shown in the figure at right is displayed when
"AREA SETTING/TEST" is selected on the Motion Detection
Pattern setting screen.
• Move the cursor with the cursor control keys and select the

• Pressing the Menu key saves the set contents and returns the
screen to the Motion Detection pattern (individual cameras)
screen.
[Motion Detection Frame Size Settings]
• When the motion detection frame size is set,
motion or position changes are detected if a
subject that moved is larger than the set frame
size. The changes are ignored if the subject is
smaller than the set frame size.
• The full screen is divided into 16 horizontal x 12
vertical frames (192 frames in all), which do not
appear on the display. The size of a single area
of the "Area Setting/Test Screen" corresponds to
4 horizontal x 3 vertical frames.
Single area
Single frame
Detection size: 2 horizontal x 5 vertical frames
• For example, when wishing to detect a person
but not wishing to detect a small animal, such as
a cat, set the detection area size to be larger
than the animal and smaller than a person. If the
size is set for 2 horizontal x 5 vertical frames,
such as in the figure at right, motion or position
changes by the person can be detected, but
motion or position changes by the cat are
ignored (not detected).
[Motion Detection Function Test]
• Have a person actually move in front of the camera to test to
see that only subjects that should be detected can be detected
as intended.
• When motion or a change in position is detected, the "
"
indications light as shown in the figure at right.
• If position changes cannot be detected as intended, change
the a) detection sensitivity, b) detection frame size, c) detection
standby time and d) detection area settings, then perform the
test again.

• If the Camera selector key of the same number as the camera number indicated by the cursor is
pressed, the split section is put in unselected mode as indicated by the background color, displaying the
"- -" indication instead of the camera number.
• In Camera mode, multiple same camera images can be arranged on the split sections. However, some
connected cameras may not be displayed because the full number of split sections is limited (Example:
Full display of 16 split sections of Groups 1 - 4 in the case of 4-segment split screen display by way of
the C-MS161D).
• Because the screen can be switched by remote control during setting, the screen may suddenly
change.
• When Video Loss alarm occurs during setting, the Multi-Switcher is put in Video Loss alarm mode.
However, the current settings can still be maintained.
• When alarm is activated during setting, the setting operation is interrupted and replaced by alarm
operation if the Alarm Hold function has been disabled. The current settings can still be maintained if
the Alarm Hold function has been enabled.

18.1.2. Sensor Alarm Function
The Multi-Switcher is equipped with a single-channel alarm input terminal for each camera. These terminals
are connected to such devices as door switches or infrared sensors to activate the sensor alarm function.
When sensors are triggered, the Sensor Alarm function provides a warning by displaying an on-screen alarm
indication as well as by sounding a buzzer, and switches the connected VCR to alarm recording mode for
making video recordings. The Multi-Switcher also has an alarm output terminal that operates upon receiving
an alarm signal from any channel. Utilizing this output, an external buzzer can be sounded when alarm is
triggered. (Refer to p. 66; Alarm Input/Output Terminals.)
Note: Sensor alarm operation becomes active approximately 15 seconds after power is switched ON.
18.1.3. Sensor Alarm Activation
The system switches to Sensor Alarm mode if the sensor corresponding to a camera is triggered and the
alarm input terminal is short- or open-circuited.
Note: Set the Menu screen Sensor Alarm Function to OFF when the Sensor Alarm function is not used. (For
this setting, refer to p. 34; Sensor Alarm on the Alarm setting screen.)
18.1.4. Sensor Alarm-Activated Operations
Sensor Alarm provides the following alarm operations:
1. A buzzer is sounded, and the Alarm Reset key flashes red. (To disable a buzzer, refer to p. 37; Buzzer on
the Buzzer/Character Display setting screen.)
2. The alarm-activated camera is displayed on the full screen.
3. The flashing "ALARM" indication is displayed on the monitor.
4. VCR operation is switched from time lapse mode (recording mode "12" or greater) to alarm recording mode
in order to record the alarm-activated camera image.
5. When Monitor Output 2 is designated as Spot Output, selected camera images are provided from Spot
Output regardless of alarm status.
Note
• Enabling the Alarm Hold function permits the monitor output image to be manually changed even during
Sensor Alarm operation.
• If the detection function is set to "Alarm (AND)" on the Menu screen, the above alarm operations occur only
when simultaneous Sensor alarm and Motion Detection alarm signal inputs are received. (Refer to p. 62;
Motion Detection Alarm.)
• When the Sensor Alarm is activated during VCR playback, the monitor screen automatically switches from
the VCR playback to the alarm-activated camera image display.
Tips
• To disable the Sensor Alarm display during VCR playback, set the Multi-Switcher to Alarm Hold. (Refer to p.
61; Alarm Hold.)
Note
• When the Alarm Hold function is enabled while in VCR mode, the Alarm Hold status is maintained even if
the VCR mode is switched to Camera mode.
18.1.5. Sensor Alarm Reset
The method used to reset the alarm differs depending on the sensor alarm activation method (refer to p. 61;
Sensor Alarm Interval).
[Edge-type activation]
Alarm is reset when a predetermined alarm time interval expires or when the Alarm Reset key is pressed.
[Level-type activation]
Short the Alarm input terminal to the ground terminal or open-circuit the Alarm input terminal from the ground
terminal.
Note
• The Sensor Alarm cannot be reset with the Alarm Reset key.
Tips
When the Sensor Alarm is reset, the previous screen that was displayed just before the Sensor Alarm was
activated is displayed. Exception: If a camera image connected to Monitor Output 1* is switched to another
screen display during alarm operation, the screen display is maintained even after Sensor Alarm operation is
reset. (Previous screen is not restored.)
* Monitor Output 2 operates in like manner if set to "Same as Monitor Output 1."
18.1.7. Alarm Hold
This function is useful when you cannot view the selected camera output because on-screen camera scenes
are frequently switched on account of frequent sensor alarm inputs .
[To enable the alarm hold function...]
Press the alarm hold key. (The alarm hold key will light.)
Tips: It is possible to always maintain alarm hold mode without pressing the alarm hold key. (For the setting,
refer to p. 32 "ALARM HOLD" in the section "Recording/Alarm Setting Screen.")
[To reset the alarm hold function...]
Press the alarm hold key that remains lit. The light of the alarm hold key will then be extinguished.
[If sensor alarms are triggered while in alarm hold mode...]
• The lights of both the alarm reset key and alarm hold key flash, and the indication of "AL HOLD" is
displayed on the monitor.
• Currently-displayed camera images are not switched. However, the alarmed camera outputs are recorded
on a VCR.
• To switch the currently-displayed camera image to the alarmed camera image, press the alarm hold key to
reset alarm hold mode.

Operations when multiple alarms are simultaneously triggered can be selected from three types of alarm
functions: LAST, SEQ, and ALL. (For the setting methods, refer to p. 33; Alarm Function, on the Alarm setting
screen.)
Note: Recorded images cannot be correctly played back if the Alarm function used for recording differs from
that used for playback. Be sure to use the same Alarm function for both recording and playback.
The following table shows operations of each Alarm function:
18.2. Motion Detection Alarm
The Motion Detection function can be handled as an alarm identical to the Sensor alarm. Operation when the
alarm is activated, the method to set Alarm Hold, and operation when there are multiple alarm inputs are the
same as used for Sensor alarm.
Note: The Motion Detection function requires approx. 15 seconds to commence operation after the power is
switched ON.
18.2.1. Motion Detection Function Settings
• If the Motion Detection function is set for "ALARM (OR)," alarm operation is started when movement is
detected or there is a Sensor alarm signal input.
• If the Motion Detection function is set for "ALARM (AND)," alarm operation is started when both the motion
detection and Sensor alarm signal input occur simultaneously.

• The ALARM input number is the input terminal number that corresponds to the video input number.
• Shorting the Alarm input to the ground terminal or opening the input from the ground terminal activates the
Sensor alarm or Motion Detection alarm.
• A 5V DC voltage is applied to the Alarm input terminal when open-circuited, and a current of up to 5mA flows
when shorted. This terminal must be shorted or opened for longer than 100 ms.
Alarm Output
• The Alarm output terminal is shorted to the ground terminal during alarm operation.
• The Video Loss alarm output terminal is shorted to the ground terminal during Video Loss alarm operation.
• The Sensor/Video Loss alarm output terminal is an NPN open collector output that passes a current of up to
20 V/20 mA.
Note: If the Motion detection function is set to "ALARM (AND)" or "ALARM (OR)," an alarm is activated when
a movement or change in the camera image is detected.
Alarm Hold Output
• Alarm Hold output remains shorted to the ground terminal while the Multi-Switcher is in Alarm Hold mode.
• The Alarm Hold output terminal is an NPN open collector output that passes a current of up to 20 V/20 mA.
Alarm Reset Output
• The Alarm Hold output is shorted to the ground terminal when the Alarm mode is reset.
• The Alarm Reset output is an NPN open collector output that passes a current of up to 20 V/20 mA.
Motion Detection Output
• When Motion Detection is set for any other condition than OFF, if a change in the camera image is detected,
the Motion Detection output is shorted to the ground terminal.
• The Motion detection output is an NPN open collector output that passes a current of up to 20 V/20 mA.
19.REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTION
19.1. About the Remote Control Function
The Multi-Switcher features two functions that allow it to be controlled from remote locations.
1. Remote control using the dedicated remote controller
1-1. C-RM100 (used in combination with the C-SC100)
Using the dedicated remote controller, operations of such functions as camera selection, combination
cameras, pan/tilt heads and zoom lenses can be comprehensively controlled. (Refer to p. 86 for
connection examples.)
1-2. C-RM500
Using the dedicated remote controller, operations of such functions as camera selection, combination
cameras, pan/tilt heads and zoom lenses can be comprehensively controlled. (Refer to p. 87 for
connection examples.)
2.
Remote control by way of the remote input/output terminals
The Multi-Switcher's front panel-mounted keys can be remotely operated by connected external
equipment. (For the setting method, refer to p. 39; Front Panel Switch Operation on the Remote Control
Setting screen.)
Note: External operation panels of standard specifications are not available.
19.2. Remote Controller Usage
• The C-RM100 and C-RM500 Remote Controllers allow the Multi-Switcher to be operated from remote
locations with the same range of operation as when controlled directly from its front panel. The Multi-
Switcher can also be remotely operated even when its front panel operation keys are locked (p. 79).
• The Remote Controllers can perform Multi-Switcher camera selection, sequential display, multi-screen
display (4-, 9-, 10-*, and 16-segment split screen displays), freeze screen display, group selection, and
camera channel/clock display.
* Camera mode only.
Note: There are some functions which cannot be operated by the Remote Controllers or are restricted in
operation. Such functions must be performed by way of the Multi-Switcher's front panel.
Inoperable Functions
• Zoom display (electronic zoom)
• Camera/VCR mode switching
• Spot output selection
• Video Loss alarm reset
• Clock display
• Menu screen setting
• Camera arrangement
• Key lock
Restricted Functions
• Freeze screen in 10-segment split-screen display.
The freeze screen can only be displayed in the lower portion (8 segments) of the 10-segment split-screen.
• Simultaneous operation by a Remote Controller and other connected equipment results in the most recent
operation taking precedence. However, in regards to manual operation of the same camera's pan, tilt and
zoom lens, the first operation takes precedence.
• The following components can be connected by way of the dedicated Remote Controller lines:
Equipment
No. of Usable Units
C-RM100 Dedicated Remote Controller 1 – 2 units
C-RM500 Dedicated Remote Controller 1 – 2 units

20. MOTION DETECTION
20.1. About the Motion Detection Function
The Multi-Switcher features built-in Motion Detection circuitry that detects movement in the camera scene by
the change in brightness. The number of recorded frames for the detected camera can be set to increase
when such changes are detected or the connected VCR can be switched to alarm recording mode while
providing a warning by displaying alarm information on the monitor and sounding a buzzer. It is also possible
to sound an external buzzer by way of the Alarm output terminal. In addition, only the camera image in which
movement was detected can be recorded to save such recording media as VCR tape.
Note
• The Motion Detection function cannot be effectively used for the following camera images owing to
increased possibility of detection errors occurring. Disable the Motion Detection function or set the area
setting for such sections to OFF.
(1) Snow, sea waves and trees swaying by wind.
(2) Images in which brightness changes due to lightning or sudden change in weather.
(3) Images in which fluorescent lamps or monitors produce flickering.
• The Motion Detection function cannot be used when the camera itself moves, such as Combination
cameras or cameras installed on a pan/tilt head.
• The Motion Detection function requires approx. 15 seconds to commence operation after the power is
switched ON.
20.2. Basic Motion Detection Operations
20.2.1. Detection Function and Setting/Operation
[Detection Frames]
The entire screen is divided into 16 horizontal x 12
vertical frames (192 frames in all), with changes in
each frame being detected.
1 frame
[Detection Areas]
By restricting the area to be detected,
unwanted malfunctions can be reduced. Divide
the entire screen into 4 horizontal x 4 vertical
areas, and set the areas for which the change
of image movement is detected to ON, and the
area that requires no detection to OFF.
1 area
(4 horizontal x 3 vertical frames)
With the size of a subject to be detected set by
horizontal and vertical frames in 1 frame units, the
Motion Detection function only operates when all
frames within the set size change.
(Example) Detection size: 2 horizontal x 5 vertical frames
A person is detected, but a cat is not.
[Detection Sensitivity]
Movement in the scene is detected by the change of brightness, and its sensitivity can be set in 5 levels (1 –
5). Sensitivity goes up as the number increases.
[Detection Standby Time]
In some cases, when the brightness of a subject suddenly changes because the light has been turned on or
off or the weather has suddenly changed, a "movement" change is detected, triggering the detection function.
Such misoperations can be reduced by setting the detection standby time.
The Multi-Switcher monitors each camera's data and compares it with the reference data (the same camera's
previous data), and detects a change if the brightness differs.
Setting the detection standby time to OFF causes the Motion Detection to be triggered as soon as a change in
brightness is detected. However, when set to "0.5S" (0.5 seconds), "1S" (1 second), "2S" (2 seconds), "3S" (3
seconds) or "5S" (5 seconds), even if the Multi-Switcher detects a change, it checks to see if there is a change
after the preset standby time elapses, and only permits the Motion Detection to be triggered when the change
is detected again.
When the detection standby time is set, the function operates as follows:
Time
No change
Motion Detection
not triggered.
Change detected
No change
Light turns on
Detection standby time
(1)
(2)
Change detected

An intruder enters
the building
Detection standby time
Motion Detection
triggered from the
point of time of (4) .
(3)
(4)
[In the case of a light turning on]
[In the case of a person entering the scene and
moving]
Note: The Multi-Switcher may detect changes in brightness caused by the enabling of the camera high-
sensitivity function or AGC function as motion. In such cases, set the detection standby time to
compensate for the time length of the change.
Also, take care that when the brightness level greatly changes, if the cameral uses a DC (auto-iris) lens,
the lens iris action takes time, causing a brightness change to be interpreted as motion, even if the
detection standby time is set.
[Detection Output]
Delivers an output from the rear panel-mounted Alarm Input terminal (#18) during the motion detection interval
+5 seconds. (Refer to p. 66; Alarm Input/Output Terminal.)
20.2.2. Switcher Operation in Response to Motion Detection
After a movement in the camera scene is detected, the Multi-Switcher operates as follows, depending on the
menu screen setting:
(1) When the Motion Detection function is set to ON…
Increases the number of recording frames used by the VCR or other recording device connected to the
detected camera. (Motion Detection operation.)
"Detect motion" operation continues until the Motion Detection interval + 5 seconds elapses.
[Operation interval]
(2) When the Motion Detection function is set to "Alarm (OR)" or "Alarm (AND)"
the detection of movement change is handled as an alarm.
If set for "Alarm (OR)," alarm operation is started (regardless of Sensor alarm activation) when a movement
change is detected.
If set for "Alarm (AND)," alarm operation is only started when the movement is detected and at the same time,
Sensor alarm is also activated. (For more information, refer to p. 62; Motion Detection Alarm.)

21. OTHER FUNCTIONS
21.1. When Using 2 VCRs (Continuous Recording Function)
Continuous recording can be made by alternately using two VCRs.
When either VCR records to its tape end and stops recording, the other VCR automatically begins to record.
(Refer to p. 84; Connection Examples: Connections When Using Two VCRs.)
Note
If using TOA's C-VT242 or C-VT962 Time-Lapse VCR, when the tape of the first VCR has recorded to its end,
eject the tape once and replace. If not ejected, the first VCR does not begin to record when the second VCR
has recorded to its tape end and stopped recording.
When performing Alarm recording using the Sensor alarm function, set so that alarm recording does not
activate the VCR in pause mode. Set the VCR setting items ALARM READY or EMERGENCY RECORDING
to OFF for both VCRs.
20.3. Motion Detection Pattern Function
• Two separate Motion Detection patterns can be set: "Motion Detection Pattern 1" and "Motion Detection
Pattern 2." Use these patterns when different cameras need to be recorded during daytime/nighttime or
workday/holiday schedules.
• Motion detection patterns can be set on the menu screen or in "Motion Detection Pattern selection input
terminal" or "RS-232C connector". For details, refer to the following:
[About the terminal]
p. 68; Motion Detection Pattern selection input terminal
[About the setting method]
• Selection of Motion Detection Pattern 1 or 2. (Refer to p. 36; Motion Detection Pattern Selection of the
Option 1 Settings screen.)
• Changing the Motion Detection Pattern (Internal/Remote/RS232C). (Refer to p. 39; Motion Detection Pattern
Operation of the Remote Settings screen.)
• Motion Detection Pattern Settings. (Refer to p. 42; Motion Detection Pattern Settings.)
21.2. Recording Pattern Function
• Two separate Recording patterns can be set: "Recording Pattern 1" and "Recording Pattern 2." Use these
patterns when different cameras need to be recorded during daytime/nighttime or workday/holiday
schedules.
• Recording patterns can be set on the menu screen or in "Recording Pattern selection input terminal" or "RS-
232C connector". For details, refer to the following:
[About the terminal]
p. 72; Recording Pattern selection input terminal]
[About the setting method]
• Selection of Recording Pattern 1 or 2. (Refer to p. 36; Recording Pattern Selection of the Option 1 Settings
screen.)
• Changing the Recording Pattern (Internal/Remote/RS232C). (Refer to p. 39; Recording Pattern Operation of
the Remote Settings screen.)
• Recording Pattern Settings. (Refer to p. 41; Recording Pattern Settings.)
21.3. Auto-Recognition During Time-Lapse Recording
The switcher control input is connected when a time-lapse VCR or digital recorder is used to make time-lapse
recordings. The "Auto-Recognition" function automatically maintains the switcher control signal, even if this
signal is cut due to such accidents as cable disconnection or faulty contact, allowing the time-lapse VCR to
continue recording. This ensures no important recordings are missed, because recording is not interrupted by
such accidents as cable disconnection.
• The Multi-Switcher continues operation by automatically recognizing the recording interval (recording mode)
that was last used before the switcher control signal was cut.
• When connection is restored from Auto-Recognition mode after the switcher control signal was cut, the time-
lapse VCR follows the automatically restored switcher control signal to continue recordings.
Note: When using a recording interval of longer than 60 seconds, set "Auto-Recognition" to OFF in the menu
screen setting. (Refer to p. 32.)
• The [
] indication is displayed on video images during Auto-Recognition operation. (Refer to.p. 15.)
• The Auto-Recognition function can be individually set to ON or OFF for normal recording (other than Alarm
recording) and Alarm recording when making time-lapse recordings. (Refer to p. 32 and p. 33; Auto-
Recognition and Alarm Auto-Recognition of the Recording Settings screen.)

• Tape segment between scenes is played back. (Buzzer may sound
when such tape segments are played back.)
• Set to VCR mode.
This is the same symptom as above, and camera images are
displayed even in VCR mode.
• Camera image movements are
very jerky. (Intervals between
intermittent motions take 1
second or more.)
• Objects are moving in the background, such as falling snow, waves
on the sea, and trees swaying by wind.
• Areas which do not require detection are not set to OFF.
• Detection level and detection standby time settings are not
appropriate.
• Scenes with constantly changing brightness, such as fluorescent
lamp flickering and abrupt changes in weather or lighting, are
selected.
• Motion Detection function is
triggered although no one enters
the scene or no change in
movement is detected.
