1 INTRODUCTION
Visilynx 3 Integrated (V3i) is a 32 loop-through input by 8 output full cross-point video matrix
node contained in a 19” wide by 3U high unit. A pair of V3i units can be linked via an
expansion cable, in a master/slave configuration, to provide a system with 64 camera inputs,
16 monitor outputs and 256 alarm inputs.
Visilynx 3 Modular (V3M) is a modular CCTV system designed to provide up to 32 users with
control of up to 511 fully functional cameras. A smaller special-purpose rack system is used
for trainborne applications.
All Visilynx 3 series matrix switcher systems are supplied with a CD-ROM package of
configuration and test software called VisiPC, which should be installed onto a suitable PC.
VisiPC runs under the industry standard Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000 and NT operating
systems. It is both user friendly, and comprehensive, and forms the heart of the systems
configuration and test capability.
The User Manual for VisiPC software is provided in two parts:
a) Part 1 (this document) is for the ‘Visilynx 3 Configurator’ sub-program.
b) Part 2 (Bewator Limited document INS00237) describes the ‘Visilynx 3 Tester &
Simulator’ sub-program.
The VisiPC Visilynx 3 Configurator sub-program includes features to aid the creation and
adjustment of ‘Configuration Files’ (.V3) for an installed Visilynx 3 system.
The VisiPC Visilynx 3 Tester & Simulator sub-program includes features for the functional
testing of Visilynx 3 systems.
The VisiPC software also includes additional features for use with the RX3 receiver to aid:
a) Upgrading the software.
b) Functional testing.
These operations are detailed in the RX3 Receiver Installation and Maintenance Manual
(Bewator Ltd. Document INS00271) and are therefore not included in this document.
