macro A macro is a programmable sequence of keystrokes which allow the operator
to execute the keystroke sequence by pressing a numeric entry and a single
(macro) key. The 2089 keyboard contains eight macro keys which can be
programmed for up to 1000 macro sequences distributed among the eight
keys.
momentary relay An auxiliary relay that is active as long as its control button is pressed. An
example of momentary auxiliary action is a door that remains unlocked as long
as the
Auxiliary On button is pressed. When the button is released, the door
returns to its locked state. See also auxiliary and latched relay.
monitor The screen where camera video is displayed.
monitor tour A sequence of video inputs with specified dwell times that are displayed one
after the other on a monitor called manually by a system operator. See also
system tour.
output An auxiliary signal. Outputs lock and unlock doors, turn lights on and off,
activate audible alarms, etc. Outputs can also be initiated automatically in
response to an alarm.
pan Side to side camera movement
pattern A sequence of pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris movements from a single
programmable dome. The dome “learns” these movements in real time through
keyboard programming, and can replay them automatically
preset A preset is a pre-positioned camera scene which can be programmed with
cameras installed with pan/tilt and motorized lens capability. A preset can be
called to a monitor through manual keyboard control, or can appear
automatically as part of a system
tour or salvo . Presets are also referred to as
Targets or Shots .
protocol The method by which data is transmitted. Essentially, the language a system
speaks. RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 are protocols that can be used by the
AD2089.
salvo A salvo is a simultaneous display of multiple camera scenes appearing on a
contiguous set of monitors. A salvo can be called manually by a system
operator, or can appear automatically as part of a system tour or alarm call-up.
switching system A system in which an incoming video signal or signals are routed to a bay, and
then can be switched either manually or automatically to any one of multiple
video outputs. The AD168 switching system can accommodate up to 168 video
inputs and up to 24 video outputs.
synchronization Synchronization is the process by which macros programmed for one AD2089
keyboard are copied into other AD2089 keyboards by transferring the macros
from the original macro-programmed keyboard to the system CPU, and then
transferring the macros from the CPU to another keyboard.
system tour Also referred to as a universal tour . A programmed sequence of cameras with
assigned dwell times, presets, auxiliaries, and connect next designations.
