Video Trigger Setup Page
The video trigger setup tab incorporates the feature sets that determine what events occur
when one of the four video triggers is activated. Here, the surveillance feature set of Suite 16
becomes obvious. To update this page, press the red box in the lower left hand corner
of the window.
There are a total of four triggers which can be activated
via serial command sets (as on the previous page) or
low voltage triggers (connected directly to the V-16 mod-
ule). You can choose to disable any of these four trig-
gers in this page. This will be useful if the system is
already wired for triggers, but you later wish to prevent
a trigger from occurring. Instead of pulling out the rack
to rewire the system, simply disable that trigger com-
pletely by turning it off.
To begin we will determine which rooms (or
video outputs) are affected by a video trigger.
We specify outputs because some of the most
useful effects of this feature set revolve around
the ability to use open outputs to drive video
capable touch-screens or closed-circuit TV
monitors. Naturally, this feature also will over-
ride video playing on TV, much like the paging
feature overrides audio playing in a room.
To set a room to follow a trigger or several trig-
gers, pull down the room number from the as-
sign trigger for room output section. To set a
room (video output) to activate when a specific
trigger is turned on, press the numeric set num-
ber for that trigger. To clear a trigger, press the
clear button.
Now that we know which rooms (video outputs) track which triggers, we can determine what
occurs when a trigger is activated. To start we will discuss the issue of video input trigger
assignments. In this area of the page, select one of the four triggers using the pull down
window. Next, determine which of the 16 video inputs are assigned to that trigger. For ex-
ample, if video inputs 15 and 16 are open on the V-16, they could have closed circuit TV
cameras connected to them. If in this example, inputs 15 and 16 are the two cameras cover-
