Samsung SRD-450 DVR NTSC to PAL ?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Ive just purchased a Samsung SRD-450 and as it has come from overseas it is in NTSC format. All my cameras are PAL, and though ive tried looking everywhere, I can not find how to change the Video mode to PAL.

 

Any ideas ?

 

Thanks

Dear Chris/Anton,

 

it is very easy to switch any DVR from NTSC to PAl video format.

There are uasually one of 3 ways to do it.

First , check the baack of the DVR if there is a microswitch, if you find it then change the position and switch on DVR.

If there is no any switch then ope the dvr and look at the motherboard.You will see some writing there like PAL:ON ,NTSC:OFF and jump-pin next to it.

You need to close it if it is unclosed or unclose if it is closed.

And last option if the 2 above did not help/

There is a combination of 2 or 3 buttons to change the video format.

You need to read manual tech or ask support from the manufacture.

PLEASE KNOW ONE THING :IF DVR ACCEPTS BOTH VIDEO FORMATS NTSC/PAL THEN IT ALWAYS GIVES BOTH VIDEO FORMATS AS WELL

regards,

Ismayil

Hi guys! Did you get your problem fixed?

 

On my Samsung SHR-8080, I had to add jumper between to pins on the motherboard. Just FYI.

 

Have a nice day!

Is there no manual???

 

My SRD-870DC came with a nice manual, everything was easy to find.

 

Here's the manual for your DVR:

 

http://www.samsung-security.com/SAMSUNG/upload/Product_Specifications/SRD-450_UM_SPA1012.pdf

 

Seems like half of it is in Spanish? Since all of these DVRs are in the same series, their manuals should work for every model (in most cases).

 

It says in the settings:

 

System Management ---> System Information ---> Broadcast Format ---> NTSC/PAL

 

You could change between the two here. So navigate into that area in the settings, and you shoul dbe able to change it!

 

If you still have problems, I suggest you contact Samsung!

OK, after many months of trying everything I give up. There is no firmware update, there is no jumper inside, and in the system menu it's hardpatched to NTSC, no option to change.

 

Has anyone come up with a solution since? DESPERATE here. The manual even states PAL/NTSC.
