1 Purpose, Functions, and Capabilities
Vicon’s VPS1344 control and switching system
simplifies the design and installation of complex
security installations.
The system consists of the
which contains system software to
control switching, pan, tilt, zoom lens, auxiliary func-
tions, and alarm functions;
time/date/titler modules; and the
Matrix
high-density card cage. The VPS1344
system will also include varying numbers of
HD video switcher cards and, possibly, circuit cards
providing other functions. Refer to Table l-l, System
Components and Accessories and Figure l-l, Card
Cage Front and Rear Panels.
The
high-density card cage can
accommodate up to 16 video switcher cards. Each
switcher card can accept up to eight video inputs, for a
maximum card cage capacity of 128 camera inputs and
eight monitor outputs. This greatly reduces the amount
of space required for equipment installation.
The
card cage is supplied with a mother
board, a video amplifier board, and a power supply. It
also contains slots for the following boards: system
CPU, time/date/title cards, address decoder card, and up
to 16 video switcher cards. The specific combination
of these cards in a given card cage is determined by the
size and configuration of the video system it is support-
ing. In its maximum configuration, the system can
support up to 128 remote camera/lens receivers, 24
monitors, 128 inputs from alarm interface units, 128
receiver alarms, and 32 remote control panels.
1.1.1 COMPATIBILITY WITH MATRIX 44
SYSTEM
The
and
printed
circuit boards plug directly into the Matrix 44 high-den-
sity card cage, permitting on-site serviceability and
minimizing down-time of the entire system. This
compatibility also reduces the amount of space required
for equipment installation.
1.1.2 COMPATIBILITY WITH
AND
SYSTEMS
The VPS1344 maintains software compatibility with
Vicon’ s
and VPS 1300 components. This
provides cost-effective expansion of existing
and
security systems. It also permits use of
and
remote panels, keypads, alarm
controls, and receivers in the VPS 1344 system.
