2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The TOA C-DR0100 (C-DR0101, C-DR0105) is a single-channel Digital Video Recorder with 1 channel of  
video input, and permits connected camera images to be recorded onto its large-capacity internal hard disks  
using a digital compression system. It can simultaneously play back recorded camera images while continuing  
to record images onto the hard disk. The Digital Video Recorder can also be easily connected to an existing  
switcher system, replacing previously installed analog time-lapse VCRs. Mounting in EIA-Standard equipment  
racks can also be easily performed with the addition of optional rack mounting brackets.  
3. FEATURES  
High Picture Quality  
Digital compression system ensures high-quality picture, audio recording, and playback.  
Extended-Time Recording  
Built-in 120 GB (C-DR0100), 240 GB (C-DR0101) and 500 GB (C-DR0105) large-capacity hard disks permit  
extended-time recording.  
Can Be Used In Conjunction With Switchers  
Can be connected to TOA’s switcher system and used in place of analog time-lapse VCRs. In systems that  
use a Multi-switcher (C-MS91D and C-MS161D), the Series Recording function that permits continuous  
recording with the connection of two Digital Video Recorders can be enabled, and the switcher’s motion  
detection function can be used as an alarm input to provide efficient surveillance by means of Alarm  
Recording.  
Simultaneous Recording/Playback  
Recorded images can be played back without interrupting recording.  
Pre-Alarm Recording  
Pre-Alarm function performs retroactive recording to a maximum of 5 minutes before alarm activation.  
Search Function  
Three search functions Date/Time Search, Block Search, and Time Shift Search permit desired scenes to be  
quickly found and viewed.  
Mirroring Recording (C-DR0101, C-DR0105)  
The C-DR0101 and C-DR0105 has two built-in hard disk drives. Mirroring refers to the simultaneous recording  
of data onto the two hard disks. Even if one of the disks fails, recording and playback can still be performed  
using the other disk. The possibility of data loss due to hard disk failure is greatly reduced, increasing  
reliability.  
Networking Function  
An RS-232C interface and a 100BASE-TX Ethernet port are standard.  
Note: The RS-232C control software is not standard.

4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS  
• Use the Digital Video Recorder in locations with ambient temperature of between +5°C and +40°C, and  
humidity levels of less than 80% to ensure that no condensation is formed.  
• When moving the Recorder, first switch off the main power and then wait at least 30 seconds before moving.  
• Avoid moving the Recorder suddenly from a cold location to a warm location, or installing it in close proximity  
to an air-conditioner outlet, as internal condensation could result. When condensation occurs, do not switch  
on the power until the Recorder has sufficiently dried.  
• Avoid installing the Recorder in humid or dusty locations, or in locations exposed to direct sunlight, sooty  
smoke or steam. Note that even in locations which are not particularly dusty, dust may accumulate at the  
Recorder’s ventilation slots. Because this could cause an extreme rise in temperature inside the Recorder,  
be sure to clean the ventilation slots periodically after switching off the main power and disconnecting the  
power supply cord from the AC outlet. It is highly recommended that the ventilation slots be cleaned once a  
year.  
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and the plug (disconnecting device) shall be easily  
accessible.  
• To clean, be sure to first switch off the main power and then wipe with a dry cloth. If the Recorder is  
particularly dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral detergent. Never use benzene, thinner or chemically-  
impregnated towels, which may damage the Recorder’s surface.  
• Do not block the ventilation slots or cooling fan, which could cause the temperature inside the Recorder to  
rise, possibly resulting in unit failure. Install the Recorder at least 100 mm away from the nearest wall  
surface.  
• Since the Recorder is equipped with a cooling fan, a motor sound is generated.  
• Do not install the Recorder in locations influenced by strong electrical or magnetic fields, as monitor screen  
pictures may become distorted or the Recorder could fail.  
• Avoid jarring or striking the Recorder. The Recorder is a piece of precision equipment and accidentally  
dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts could cause its failure. When transporting the Recorder,  
carefully pack it in the supplied carton to protect it from shock.  
• Do not use the Recorder in locations exposed to vibration to avoid failure. Avoid installing the Recorder  
vertically or tilting it at extreme angles, since it is designed to be used in a horizontal position only.  
• About the hard disks  
Hard disks other than those specified by TOA cannot be used. Since the hard disks are pieces of precision  
equipment, take special care in handling not to accidentally drop, bump or jar them, lest they should fail.  
If a hard disk on which condensation is formed is used, it could fail. Therefore, when brought into a warm  
room from the cold outdoors, be sure to leave it unused for at least half a day before using it. If the hard disk  
fails, recorded data cannot be restored.  
• TOA takes no responsibility for any incidental damage, such as loss of sales opportunities, that may result  
from the Digital Video Recorder’s failure.  
• The standby function is used to enable transportation of the unit from one place to another when  
circumstances do not permit its main power supply to be turned off. While in standby mode, power continues  
to be supplied to the unit, but its hard disk and fan are stopped. If the unit is left in standby mode for long  
periods of time, heat can build-up inside the unit, potentially shortening its operating life. To avoid this, be  
sure to turn off the main power supply when the unit is not in use.

* The underlined contents are factory-preset values.  
Note  
• Avoid mixing both Normal Recordings and Mirroring Recordings on the hard disk. If mixed, block advance  
during playback or search operations cannot be correctly performed during playback. Be sure to re-format  
the disk when changing the Disk Mode Setting. Note that all recording data are deleted when formatted.  
(Refer to p. 26; "Disk Formatting.")  
• Setting the Clock Setting’s Time Sync to "SLAVE" and the Recording Mode to "SERIES" places the

• About Mirroring Recording. (C-DR0101, C-DR0105)  
Setting the Disk Mode to "MIRRORING" permits the same recording to be performed simultaneously on the  
two built-in hard disks. Should one of the two disks fail, the other disk will continue recording or playing back  
to ensure automatic backup. Be sure to first format both disks before performing Mirroring Recording to  
make their available recording times equal.  
When a difference in available recording time between the two disk drives exists, recording can continue if  
one of the two disks becomes full, provided recording time remains available on the other disk. However,  
this will no longer be Mirroring Recording. The maximum available Mirroring Recording time can be checked  
by setting the remaining time display to "MIN."

period of time (1 month), they are reset. In such cases, perform the clock setting again.  
9.1. When the Power Fails during Recording;  
• During General Recording  
Recording is restarted when the power is restored.  
• During Alarm Recording  
If an alarm input still continues when the power is restored, it is recognized as a new alarm input and  
recording is restarted. However, if no alarm exists, recording is not performed. Also, even if the power is  
restored within the set Alarm Recording time period or Post-alarm time period, recording is not restarted  
because there is no alarm signal.  
• During Internal Timer Recording  
Timer operation is restarted if the power is restored within the set time period. If restored during Internal  
Timer Recording, the recording is restarted.

13. CONNECTIONS  
13.1. Preparations for Connections  
Switch off the power to the Digital Video Recorder and all connected equipment before performing  
connections. The Digital Video Recorder has built-in hard disks. To avoid damage to them, when moving the  
Digital Video Recorder, be sure to leave the Recorder’s Main Power switch turned off for at least 30 seconds  
before moving.  
13.1.1. Control Input/Output Terminal Connections  
Applicable cables are as follows:  
• Solid cable :  
AWG28 (ø 0.32mm) – AWG22(ø 0.65mm)  
• Twisted cable: AWG28 (0.08mm2) – AWG22(0.32mm2)  
To connect, remove the cable sheath 10 mm from the cable end, and then insert the cable into the terminal  
pressing on the tab on the terminal using a screwdriver.  
13.2. When Using the 24V AC or 12V DC or AC Mains Camera:  
Connect the Digital Video Recorder’s Video Input terminal to the camera’s video output terminal.  
13.3. Connections to the Monitor TV  
The Digital Video Recorder’s terminals to be connected to the monitor differ depending on the type of  
connected equipment.  
• When the Digital Video Recorder is not connected to the Multi-switcher:  
Connect the Recorder’s Video Output terminal to the monitor’s video input terminal, and the Recorder’s  
Audio Output terminal to the monitor’s audio input terminal.  
• When the Digital Video Recorder is connected to the Multi-switcher:  
Connect the Recorder’s Switcher Video Output terminal to the monitor’s video input terminal, and the  
Recorder’s Audio Output terminal to the monitor’s audio input terminal.  
40  
 
13.4. Combination With The Digital Video Recorder/ Multi-switchers (C-MS91D and C-MS161D)  
The Digital Video Recorder has been designed with an emphasis on the synchronization with the TOA Multi-  
switchers (C-MS91D, C-MS161D).  
By synchronizing the Digital Video Recorder with the Multi-switcher, the following advantages – unavailable to  
conventional systems using analog time-lapse VCRs – can be realized.  
1. The Multi-switcher does not need to be operated when operating the Digital Video Recorder.  
2. The Digital Video Recorder’s main menu screen or search screen can be easily displayed, facilitating  
settings and search operations.  
The combined Digital Video Recorder/Multi-switcher system is called a basic system in this manual.  
Since the Multi-switcher has 2 VCR output terminals, hard disk space can be doubled by connecting two  
Digital Video Recorders. This system is called an expansion system. The expansion system does not permit  
the synchronization between the Digital Video Recorder and the Multi-switcher.  
13.4.1. Basic System  
Perform connections as shown in connection examples. (Refer to p. 43)  
Set the Multi-switcher (C-MS91D and C-MS161D) and the Digital Video Recorder as follows:  
• Multi-switcher settings

switcher functions can all be controlled by the Digital Video Recorder. However, when syncronizing the  
switcher's clock from the Recorder, set the Recorder's clock Time Synchronization setting to "MASTER."  
Time synhronization cannot be performed if set to "SLAVE."  
When only performing time synchronization, set the communication swither synchronization setting to  
"TIME SYNC." Please note that in this mode Recording Pattern,Motion Detection Pattern, and Camera/  
VCR mode selection functions cannot be controlled.  
• For more information on the Multi-switcher’s settings, refer to the instruction manual for the Multi-switcher.  
13.4.2. Expansion System (Series Recording)

16. EXTERNAL TERMINAL SPECIFICATIONS  
16.1. RS-232C Communication Specifications  
The Digital Video Recorder’s RS-232C interface permits remote control using a connected PC.  
Note  
• Control software is not supplied as standard.  
• Communication specifications are those set when the Switcher Synchronization selection on the  
Communication Setting Screen is set to "OFF."  
• TOA takes no responsibility for any inconvenience or damage to customer hardware or software which may  
result from the use of control software based on the specifications described in this section.  
16.1.1. The Rules of Overall Communications  
1. All communications are established by means of a command from the controller.  
2. Responses are always present in mutual communications.  
3. The response timeout period is 1 second, and the timeout period between continuous data is 100  
milliseconds. When the timeout occurs, the corresponding communications are regarded as failed.  
4. Data is only updated when a communication setting content update command is received while in Standby  
mode or in Idle and Recording Pause mode. No setting content update commands are accepted during  
system activation, error message indication, menu screen display, search screen display, playback,  
recording (Include Alarm Recording Setting’s Alarm is set to “VALID.”) or while in timer mode (DEL is  
returned).  
5. When command operation cannot be performed, received data is discarded and any commands are  
regarded as invalid.  
16.1.2. Communication Protocol  
Transfer System :  
Parity Bit :  
Start/stop system (asynchronous system), duplex  
Even
