AQ-VU

AQ-VU
| Main features | System | Main specifications | Option |
AQ-VU is a visual data recorder with 4 channels video and analog signals that can be synchronously recorded and played back. Video and data can be verified or played-back without a PC using a LCD monitor and stand-alone AQ-VU. AQ-VU is a remarkable data recorder that can visually confirm a physical event without connecting to a PC.
Main features
Can be used as normal recorder
AQ-VU as stand-alone unit
  • AQ-VU records Video signals along with Analogue data.
  • Small footprint allows use in confined spaces.
Synchronised recording and reproduction
4 channels Video plus Analogue data.
  • Video signals and analogue signals are synchronised in frame.
  • Video signals and analogue signals can be seen together.

Zero accumulated delay errors
Video and analogue signals are recorded as a set frame, preventing accumulated delay errors.
No file error in case of interruption of power supply
AQ-VU uses its HDD as a linear device (like a tape), any data which was recorded before interruption of power source, can be reproduced.
Small and lightweight
Camera power derived from AQ-VU
  • Small, portable, compact package allows easy use of AQ-VU in the field (2.3kg).
  • Low Power requirements, can be run from both DC 10-17 volts and AC power sources.
  • Power for camera also supplied from AQ-VU, allowing it to be used in mobile environments, vehicles, trains, etc.
5 hours or continuous record function
AQ-VU removable HDD 5 hours recording
  • Record duration of 5 hours available utilising exclusive 40 GB HDD pack.
  • Endless recording mode also available, allowing use for monitoring, surveillance etc.
Searching and edit capabilities
AQ-VU removable HDD Synchronised reproducing on PC
  • Connecting HDD pack to PC, video and analogue signals can be reproduced with synchronised using AQView software.
  • Easy search and edit facilities using AQView software.
External level trigger function
Trigger function record, with level trigger
  • Level trigger, and Pre-trigger functions allow recording of conditions before the trigger point was achieved.
  • Reduced time to locate data.
AQ-VU External level trigger function
32ch Synchronisation with LX-100 Series recorders
Synchronisation with LX-100
  • AQ-VU can be synchronised with other data recorders using the sync signal.
  • Controlling AQ-VU is also available using sync. signal.
  • Sync. signal
Network Monitoring
AQ-VU AQ-Net Network Monitoring Possible to control and monitor via Ethernet
Using AQ-Net which is provided as an option, video and analog signals can be monitored via Ethernet.
AQ-VU can be fully controlled via network. Also downloading data files is possible.
Recoding and downloading are independent, so downloading data has no effect on recording.
*Downloading data file takes time longer than recording time.
*Video update timing is adjusted automatically.

External level trigger function Pre-trigger Set the recording time prior to the recording start
condition as mentioned above. Setting zero seconds is
equivalent to no (with not-delete) pre-trigger function
Level trigger Set the level trigger threshold of designated channel.
When the analog input signal exceeds the threshold level,
the recording begins.
Record start condition Analog level Choice one of 1Channel to 4Channel.
A trigger direction against the threshold level. UP(default) / DOWN
Set the level trigger threshold [example : +50% ]

External trigger When the START/STOP signal at the SYNC IN connector on the
rear panel is changed from L level to H level, the recording stops
Manual operation It is started with an operation button
Others Internal clock Correction:Manual entry in Monitor screen, or 30 seconds auto correction
