Multiple video switchers
Senstar 100 Installation guide • • • b - 3
The Senstar 100 control unit can be configured to display any camera input to VS
2 on the central control facility monitors using a single video line and a cascaded
camera input to VS 1.
Configuring your system for multiple video switchers
This section describes the procedures used to configure your Senstar 100 system
for multiple VS. Follow these procedures to define:
•
the monitor outputs and video controllers that are used in response to alarm
conditions and zone selection (automatic camera call-ups)
•
the monitor outputs and video controllers used in manual (operator
selected) cameras
•
the video signal paths for cascaded VS
These three procedures must be repeated for each control unit
that will call-up cameras to CCTV monitors, even if the monitor
configurations are identical, as in redundant control.
•
the VS to which each camera is assigned
•
the VS device number in zone camera point assignments
Define each VS in accordance with
Defining cascaded video switcher signal
