JRC JMA-9900 series radar outputs VGA VDR signal: 1024x768, RGB (0.5 Vp-p/
positive), HS (TTL/negative) and VS (TTL/negative). Connect these signals to VR-5000
via a buffer unit (or a VGA booster) locally arranged and select the radar type of
1024x768 in Video channel.
A common problem with the connection of other make radar is that HS and VS signal
level is low. To solve this problem, use a booster locally arranged.

Following describes each item in video menu.
Horizontal offset: Moves the picture horizontally. With a larger (smaller) value, the
picture moves left (right). If the value is too high, the framegrabber cannot present a valid
image, indicating a small red cross at the upper left corner in the Internet-explorer
display.
Vertical offset: Moves the picture vertically. With a larger (smaller) value, the picture
moves upward (downward). ). If the value is too high, the framegrabber cannot present a
valid image, indicating a small red cross at the upper left corner in the Internet-explorer
display.
Pll multiplier: This sets the frequency of PLL-oscillator to synchronize with

Horizontal-sync signal, so that the framegrabber grabs pixels across each line correctly. If
wrong, you will see distortion. With a smaller value, grabbed frame becomes narrow, and
with a higher value, the frame becomes wider. You can analyze the image in a program
like Paint Shop Pro. You can drag directly from browser-window to Paint Shop Pro.
Horizontal sync polarity: The polarity of the horizontal sync signal is entered.
VIDEO->Channels shows information about polarity. Set it according to this information.
Phase: Phase setting selects the phase of sampling clock relative to phase locked loop
signal in 32 steps of 11.25 degrees. If Phase is not set correctly, any section of an image
consisting of vertical lines may exhibit tearing. In Alternate-pixel mode, this is 16 steps of
22.50 degrees.
Horizontal resolution: For example, if the image size is 1280x1024, the horizontal
resolution is 1280.
Vertical resolution: For example, if the image size is 1280x1024, the vertical resolution
is 1024.
VCO range: It is used to set a parameter to supply correct current to PLL-oscillator. This
parameter is set according to resolution.
Save image to web: Leave the default setting “Saved as JPEG” unchanged.
Debug level: Leave this parameter with the default setting “None (0).”
Color mask bit: “Color mask bit” has a big influence on the size of the generated
radar-image. If video is noisy, the image size becomes large. Color mask is used to filter
“noise.” If radar-picture is very noisy, reduce the Color Mask Bit to reduce image-size.
The smaller the color mask bit, the less number of different colors.
24-bit: ‘full-color’ (each RGB channel(8-bit each) is recorded without masking)

21-bit: each RGB value is masked with 0xFE (254 – decimal).
18-bit: each RGB value is masked with 0xFC (252 – decimal).
15-bit: each RGB value is masked with 0xF8 (248 – decimal).
12-bit: each RGB value is masked with 0xF0 (240 – decimal).
9-bit: each RGB value is masked with 0xE0 (224 – decimal).
6-bit: each RGB value is masked with 0xC0 (192 – decimal).
12
Sample rate: 15 seconds fixed
Interlace type:
When the resolution of the video image is 1280x1024 or better, select “Alternate
pixel“ sampling mode, similar to interlacing except that the columns of pixels are
interlaced instead of lines. In Alternate pixel mode, the PLL runs at half rate and even
pixels are sampled on one frame and odd pixels are sampled on the other frame.
Sync type:
Selects the type of video sync signal. Some video signals include embedded composite
sync rather than separate horizontal and vertical sync signals, typically sync on green.
Some video signals include embedded composite sync rather than separate horizontal
and vertical sync signals. Options are Separate, Composite (embedded in video) and
Sync on Green (SOG, Embedded in Green-analog-signal in RGB-lines).
Gain and Offset: These adjust contrast and brightness by setting RGB values.

Chapter 2 LivePlayer
Liveplay software features Liveplay and Playback operations. This software is applicable
to the VDR software V2.07.00 and above. For VDR software V0.99.16, Interim playback
software is used.
The Liveplayer, VR-5033 consists of a program CDROM, an IEEE1394 repeater, an

AC/DC adapter, a 4P-6P IEEE1394 cable, and Operator’s manual.
Live play operation

Using Liveplay software, all data input to the VDR can be seen on the PC screen in real
time. The PC is connected to the REMOTE 1 port on the VDR with an Ethernet cable.
(Same connection as Web configurator is used.)
Playback operation
The data recorded on the DRU can be playbacked on the PC supporting IEEE1394
interface with Liveplay software. The PC is connected to the DRU through the IEEE1394
repeater as shown in Fig.2.1. The capacity of the AC/DC adapter is 1.0 A or more.

How U6 on PWR board works

U6 is a microcontroller of which tasks are;
1) Monitors the power source and set the power LED accordingly.
2) Sets the 4bit power status bit accordingly.
3) Controls the charging of the battery.
4) Decides when turn on the system (over 25 V).
46
5) Detects the battery is drained and turns off the system when the battery is 19 V.
If OVER 20V is false and OVER I MAX is true, the battery short circuits or discharges
deeply. In this case, the charger wait for 10 seconds and then try again. If OVER 20V is
false and OVER V FLT becomes true immediately after the charger current is applied, the
batteries are not connected. The charger starts charging when OVER V FLT becomes
false and stops when OVER V BLK becomes true. The battery charger also stops
charging if OVER V BLK does not become true for 18 hours. To reset this state, replace
the battery or switch off all power to the PDU. (V FLT: 27.3 V, V BLK: 30.0 V, and I MAX:
1.25 A)
