Multiple Mounting Options
MegaPower LT is provided with mounting ears that can be
attached to the unit in multiple orientations to enable desk,
wall or rack mounting.
system Configuration
Modular, high-density system with a choice of 16 video
inputs and 4 video outputs or 32 video inputs and 8 video
outputs.
Camera site Control
Users can control fixed and variable-speed domes, auxiliary
outputs, presets and patterns at suitably equipped camera
sites via the SensorNet outputs and the AD-UTC protocol.
Each input is independently configurable.
system Programming
On-screen menus enable use of any full-system keyboard
to program system features. Menu access is passcode
protected to prevent unauthorized access.
Passcode Menu Access
Two levels of menu access are provided, administrator and
supervisor. Only administrator access provides access to the
alarm and installer menus.
ADnet (Rs-485) Communications
One RJ-45 connector allows standard communication with
keyboards, other MegaPower LT systems and other ADnet
devices. The port is programmable for data rates of 9.6k and
19.2k baud.
Rs-232 Communications
The RJ-45 connector simultaneously supports RS-232
communications as well as ADnet. The port can expand to
4 ports with an optional port expander. This expands the
available RS-232 ports to a maximum of 4.
selectable On-screen Text
Each of the monitors can display the date/time, video input
number, monitor number, 16-character user-definable video
input or view title, alarm message and event message. White
character on-screen text with black outline optimizes viewing
on diverse contrast scenes. The user can turn each of the
displays on and off. In addition, users can select the line on
which each of the titles will appear.
Recorder Control (DirectControl)
With the ControlCenter 200 and 300 keyboards in ADnet
mode, users can control standard recorder functions
directly — play, stop, pause, record, rewind, fast forward,
eject — for both RS-232 controlled VCRs and digital recorders.
Users can customize the keyboards to support different
command sets.
Time and Date
Administrators can set the display to a 12 or 24-hour clock.
Three date formats are provided:
• MM/DD/YY
• YY/MM/DD
• DD/MM/YY
In addition, the daylight savings time option enables the
clock to be adjusted forward, backward, or no action.
Views
Program up to 128 views, each with a camera input number
and either a preset number or a pattern number. Each view
can be given a unique title, which replaces the camera title
on the monitor display when selected either manually or as
part of a sequence.
Tours (sequences)
Sixteen tours of video inputs may be established for call-up
to monitors at anytime. Each tour provides 16 positions for
insertion of video inputs and views — each with an individual
dwell time. Tours can be run forward or in reverse. They can
include the same video input multiple times and/or multiple
presets and patterns from a single camera. Two tours can be
connected together to provide up to 32 entries. Video inputs
partitioned from a monitor are automatically skipped.
Automatic Alarm Call-Up
Alarm inputs can be programmed to call any video input
to any one or more video outputs. For each alarm or
event, users can define a camera, preset, alarm title, event
message, keyboard sound level and/or auxiliary action.
Each monitor can be configured to display alarms. After
an alarm is cleared, the monitor can either display the last
alarm response or be returned to its pre-alarm state. The
global alarm settings have 5 display modes and 3 clearance
modes.
Alarm Display Modes
• None:
No change to the monitor display.
• Last:
If multiple alarms are received, the last alarm received
is displayed until it is cleared.
• Stack:
If multiple alarms are received, the alarms are
displayed on additional alarm enabled monitors. Additional
alarms are held in a queue of up to 255 events and 32
alarm inputs.
• Switch:
The first alarm in will be displayed on all alarm
monitors. Additional alarms will display on all alarm monitors
once the preceding alarm is cleared.
• Rotate:
The first alarm in will be displayed on all alarm
monitors. Additional alarms will sequence in a pre-defined
dwell time (time-out) on all alarm monitors until
acknowledged. Alarm outputs are disabled in this mode.
