INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
MODEL V4481 SCC-HD MATRIX
HIGH-DENSITY
VIDEO SWITCHING SYSTEM
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides information on the installation of
the
Matrix 44 High-Density Switcher
Card Cage, including how to install the card cage and
how to connect it to the rest of the system. This system
should only be installed by a qualified technician using
approved materials and wiring practices in accordance
with the national, state, and local electrical codes. Read
these instructions through completely before attempting
installation, Refer to Figure l-l,
Card
Cage Front and Rear Panels.
NOTE: This instruction manual should be used
ONLY
Matrix 44 switching system is controlled
by an external CPU (either the
or
CPU). This manual does not provide installation
instructions for the
internal CPU.
is installed in the
HD card cage, refer to Instruction Manual X779 to
install the system.
Matrix 44 is a microprocessor-based video switching
system that automatically routes video signals from a
requested camera position to a specified monitor. Re-
movable printed circuit boards, featuring plug-in con-
nectors, permit on-site service and minimize down-time
of the entire CCTV system.
The
Matrix 44 high-density card cage
can accommodate 16 video switcher cards. Each
switcher card can accept up to eight video inputs, for a
card cage capacity of 128 inputs and eight outputs. This
greatly reduces the amount of space required for equip-
ment installation.
The
card cage is supplied with a mother
board, a video amplifier board, and a power supply. The
card cage also contains slots for the following boards: an
address decoder card or an internal system CPU (optional),
an expander card, and up to 16 video switcher cards. Refer
to Table 1 Matrix 44 System Components.
The specific combination of these cards in a given card
cage and the number of card cages required for a system
are determined by the size and configuration of the video
system it is supporting. One high-density Matrix 44 card
cage containing 16 video switcher boards can support a
system of 128 cameras and eight monitors. The maxi-
mum number of cameras and monitors a system can
support depends upon the system CPU.
If the
is connected to an external Nova
VPS 1300 CPU (expanded version), the sys-
tem can support a maximum of 1024 cameras and 256
monitors. With custom software and hardware, there is
virtually no upper limit to the number of cameras and
monitors in a system.
The
complies with UL Standard 1409,
requirements for an FCC Class A device, and European
Community EMC Directive
The product was
subjected to the testing outlined in European Normaliza-
tion Standard EN 50081-l [Electromagnetic Compatibil-
ity General Emissions Standard Part 1: Residential,
Commercial and Light Industry) and EN 50082-l (Elec-
tromagnetic Compatibility Generic Immunity Standard
part 1: Residential, Commercial, and Light Industry).
