The main components of the system are descried below.
●
Camera Control Bay
The Camera Control Bay is a newly designed high-den-
sity combination unit which controls camera site and
video receiving.
A single camera control cage (MXCONT) allows for
flexible control of up to
128
cameras. A maximum of
8 192
cameras can be connected to several camera
control cages (MXCONTs).
The camera control cage (MXCONT) provides:
• 128-camera input in a Card Cage
• Control of external devices and cameras by means
of control data multiplexed on the video signal
• Display of camera title and clock using an installed
optional character board
• Detection of video input signal loss
●
Crosspoint Bay
The Crosspoint Bay is a scalable distributed space-
division switch. The basic card cage (MXSW) has a
maximum capacity of
256
inputs and
32
outputs.
Multiple MXSWs can be combined to support up to
8 192
inputs and
1 024
outputs.
The crosspoint cage (MXSW) features:
• 256-input and 32-output crosspoint switches in a
Card Cage
• Looped-through output
• 32-slave monitor input for cascade connection
• Ethernet interface for external control of crosspoint
switches
●
On-Screen Display (OSD) Bay
The function of the On-Screen Display Bay is to display
the camera title, clock and system status on the active
monitors. The basic card cage (MXOSD) has a maxi-
mum of
128
video inputs and outputs. Multiple
MXOSDs can be combined to support up to
1 024
inputs and outputs.
The on-screen display cage (MXOSD) provides:
• A maximum of 128-monitor output in a Card Cage
• Display of monitor number, monitor status, camera
title and clock.
●
Main CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The Main CPU controls the functions of the entire sys-
tem. There are three types of CPUs, a
Standard
, an
Enhanced
and a
High-Speed
(custom made configu-
ration) CPU, each of which incorporates a high-perfor-
mance Intel X86 processor running the OS-9 real-time
operating system. The
Standard
CPU supports up to
512
inputs and
64
outputs with
16
system controllers.
The
Enhanced
CPU is designed for a system size of
513 to
1 024
inputs and 65 to
256
outputs with 17 to
64
system controllers. The
High-Speed
CPU allows fur-
ther expansion to up to
8 192
inputs and
1 024
outputs
with
128
system controllers.
The Main CPU provides:
• Central processing Board (CPU) and communica-
tion interface for controlling the entire system
• Ports for controlling the entire system, such as card
cages, system controllers and alarm interface
●
Matrix Alarm Interface
The Matrix Alarm Interface is a scalable distributed dig-
ital input/output unit. Alarm input/output ports, each
with a specific functions, control the alarm processes.
The basic input/output element (MXALM) has a maxi-
mum capacity of
512
digital inputs or
512
digital out-
puts. Capacity can be expanded up to
1 024
inputs/outputs by combining two units.
●
Administration Console
Administration Console is a GUI software that performs
system setup in a Window PC.
The PC is linked with main CPU via Ethernet. The sys-
tem features can be programmed using Administration
Console.
●
System Controllers
A system controller is a device used by an operator to
control specific components. There are two types of
system controllers, the RS-485 type corresponding to
an RS-485 and the Ethernet type to an Ethernet inter-
face. A maximum of 128 system controllers can be
installed to control and operate the system.
