INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION AND REMOTE UNIT PROGRAMMING
300 CONTROL AND HIGH-DENSITY REMOTE VIDEO
SWITCHING SYSTEM
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides information on the installation
switching units. Refer to Figures l-la and
of the VPS 1300 Control and Remote Video Switching
system should only be installed by qualified
System, including installation of the card cages’
using approved materials and wiring practices in
system interconnections. This manual also provides
conformance with national state and local wiring
programming procedures for the remote video
codes.
Purpose, Functions, and Capabilities
Vicon’s
Control and Remote Video Switch-
ing System provides control and switching functions
for up to 64
video switching sites. By distrib-
uting the switching function to remote sites in closer
proximity to the cameras being switched, instead of
routing all camera outputs back to a central switcher,
considerable savings in the cost of cabling are possible.
Additionally, cable installation is significantly simpli-
fied. The
control and remote switching
system consists of a
CPU card cage located at
the central control site. This card cage contains a
global memory card, a system supervisor CPU, a video
switcher CPU, one or two alarm
and a
time/date/title CPU.
The
control and remote switching system
includes at least one Matrix
high-density
card cage located at each remote site. Each Matrix 44
card cage contains a power supply, a video output
amplifier and a mother board. The card cage includes
the
remote CPU card. These card
cages also include varying numbers of Matrix 44 video
switcher
and may include switcher expander
cards and address decoder cards (used when additional
card cages are added for camera expansion). Refer to
Table l-l, System Components and Accessories.
The inputs from each of the remote sites are combined
onto eight monitor outputs and routed via coaxial cable
to a Matrix 44 card cage located at the terminal site.
The terminal card cage combines the signals from all
the remote sites and switches the video onto
eight monitors. It is possible to have more than one
Matrix 44 card cage located at the terminal site. For
instance, two terminal card cages will permit video to
be switched onto 16 monitor outputs.
One card cage at a remote site will support up to 128
camera inputs and eight monitor outputs. If more than
128 camera inputs
at any remote site, an
additional card cage or cages must located at the
remote site. However, the inputs of the remote card
cages at each site will all be combined onto eight
monitor outputs. If more than eight monitor outputs
are requited from any remote location, an additional
card cage or cages must also be placed at the remote
site and additional cables must be routed to the terminal
switching unit. Each remote site supports a maximum
of 256 cameras and 128 monitors.
WARNING: TO PREVENT RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
