MP168 Matrix Switcher/Controller System
DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MP168 Matrix Switcher/Controller System is
designed to support plug-in modules having a broad
range of functionality. Plug-in modules include a
Power Supply module, a Central Processing Unit
module, an optional Control Code module, Video Input
modules, and Video Output modules. Built-in
expansion capabilities permit the addition of a second
MP168 Bay to increase the number of video output
devices supported.
The MegaPower 168 Matrix Switcher/Controller
System (hereafter referred to as the MP168) is an
integrated CCTV matrix switching and control system
for CCTV surveillance systems with multiple video
inputs, outputs, and control stations. Video inputs are
typically provided by local or remote cameras and other
video sources. Video output is viewed on monitors, or
recorded on VCRs located at system control points.
In addition to providing video input and output
switching, the MP168 system can respond to alarms
and perform auxiliary switching for the control of
gates, doors, lights, etc. Depending on the control
requirements of a given application, various AD
keyboards and accessory devices can be used in concert
with the system bays, cameras, and monitors.
External communications to system devices can be
achieved through a variety of protocols, including
Manchester Control Code, RS-232, RS-422, and
External ARCNET. A parallel printer port is standard
with each MP168 system to provide hard copy of
operating parameters and alarm events.
As delivered, the MP168 Matrix Switcher/Controller
System is completely configured and ready for
mounting in standard EIA rack units, with video inputs
terminated in 75 ohms, requiring only system
interconnections, video input and output connections,
and any optional accessory connections prior to
operation.
