Easy48
System - Multi Matrix
A MegaPower 48+ system can be anything from a single unit (48 video inputs, 16 video outputs) to a system comprising
a primary unit with six secondary units (288 video inputs, eight full cross point switched monitor outputs and seven
additional monitor outputs on each secondary unit for viewing of video from that secondary unit only).
The
Multi Matrix
screen is used to specify how the MegaPower 48+ system has been set up. The dialog must be
completed so that Easy48 is aware of how many MegaPower 48+ units are connected, and subsequently how many
inputs and outputs are available in the system. The settings made in this dialog affect how many of the other screens in
Easy48 appear.
To display the
Multi Matrix
screen, expand the
System
node on the left-hand side of the display area and then click the
Multi Matrix
node.
Operation Mode
The first field in the screen is
Operation Mode
. This drop down list is used to select the mode in which units have been
connected together. The selection made here determines how many inputs and outputs will be available in the system
and subsequently how they will be numbered. The following operation modes are available:
•
Mode 0
has no secondary matrices and is a single 48 video inputs, 16 monitor output unit.
•
Mode 1
has a primary matrix and a maximum of three secondary units. In a Mode 1 system, the maximum capability
is 144 cameras with sixteen full cross point switched monitor outputs.
•
Mode 2
has a primary matrix and a maximum of four secondary units. In a Mode 2 system, the maximum capability
is 192 cameras with twelve full cross point switched monitor outputs and three additional monitor outputs on each
secondary unit.
•
Mode 3
has a primary matrix and a maximum of six secondary units. In a Mode 3 system, the maximum capability
is 288 cameras with eight full cross point switched monitor outputs and seven additional monitor outputs on each
secondary unit.
Primary Matrix Configuration
The fields in the
Primary Matrix Configuration
section of the screen must be completed with details about the primary
matrix. Complete the following fields by double-clicking in the field and entering the required text:
•
The
IP Address
field is used to specify the address that uniquely identifies the primary matrix from all other devices
on the network.
•
The
Subnet Mask
field is used to determine the part of the organization’s network the primary unit is located.
Typically, a subnet may represent all the machines at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same local
area network.
•
The
Gateway
field is used to enter the default gateway for the primary unit. The default gateway defines the address
of the router for the network, if required.
