INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

MODEL V4481 SCC-HD MATRIX

HIGH-DENSITY

VIDEO SWITCHING SYSTEM

1. INTRODUCTION

This manual provides information on the installation of

the

Matrix 44 High-Density Switcher

Card Cage, including how to install the card cage and

how to connect it to the rest of the system. This system

should only be installed by a qualified technician using
approved materials and wiring practices in accordance
with the national, state, and local electrical codes. Read

these instructions through completely before attempting
installation, Refer to Figure l-l,

Card

Cage Front and Rear Panels.

NOTE: This instruction manual should be used

ONLY

Matrix 44 switching system is controlled

by an external CPU (either the

CPU). This manual does not provide installation

instructions for the

internal CPU.

is installed in the

HD card cage, refer to Instruction Manual X779 to

install the system.

Matrix 44 is a microprocessor-based video switching

system that automatically routes video signals from a

requested camera position to a specified monitor. Re-

movable printed circuit boards, featuring plug-in con-

nectors, permit on-site service and minimize down-time

of the entire CCTV system.

The

Matrix 44 high-density card cage

can accommodate 16 video switcher cards. Each
switcher card can accept up to eight video inputs, for a
card cage capacity of 128 inputs and eight outputs. This
greatly reduces the amount of space required for equip-
ment installation.

The

card cage is supplied with a mother

board, a video amplifier board, and a power supply. The
card cage also contains slots for the following boards: an

address decoder card or an internal system CPU (optional),
an expander card, and up to 16 video switcher cards. Refer

to Table 1 Matrix 44 System Components.

The specific combination of these cards in a given card
cage and the number of card cages required for a system
are determined by the size and configuration of the video

system it is supporting. One high-density Matrix 44 card

cage containing 16 video switcher boards can support a

system of 128 cameras and eight monitors. The maxi-

mum number of cameras and monitors a system can

support depends upon the system CPU.

If the

is connected to an external Nova

VPS 1300 CPU (expanded version), the sys-

tem can support a maximum of 1024 cameras and 256
monitors. With custom software and hardware, there is
virtually no upper limit to the number of cameras and
monitors in a system.

The

complies with UL Standard 1409,

requirements for an FCC Class A device, and European
Community EMC Directive

The product was

subjected to the testing outlined in European Normaliza-

tion Standard EN 50081-l [Electromagnetic Compatibil-
ity General Emissions Standard Part 1: Residential,
Commercial and Light Industry) and EN 50082-l (Elec-
tromagnetic Compatibility Generic Immunity Standard
part 1: Residential, Commercial, and Light Industry).
