Video Module
Video modules V1599CDU-VID (typical configuration) and V1599CDU-HSB-VID (hot standby configuration)
execute video switch commands received from the V1599CPU through the network module. Video switching
is achieved using Pilot 66/99 card cages. The connection of cameras and monitors is describe in the Camera
and Monitor Connection section. Cables for connection to the card cage are listed in the table below.
To synchronize switching of the cameras to allow switching to take place during the vertical interval of the
signal, connect a line-locked camera to the Video IN BNC as shown below. All cameras must be vertically
phased together and any camera may be used. Synchronizing cameras in this manner reduces interference
in the video from the vertical switching pulse.

Note: The video card is a parallel card. All parallel cards have green extractor tabs for easy identification. Should you ever
need to replace a video control card, open the card cage front panel, locate the green extractor tabs and then refer
to the rear panel to identify the video card. If you have labeled the cards, simply refer to the card labels to identify
each card. You may exchange a defective parallel card at any time without removing power to the card cage (“hot
swap”).
The sync source may be any
line-locked camera in your
system.
