System KeyboardsOperation and programming of MegaPower 48+ isaccomplished through commands entered on a systemkeyboard. AD system keyboards available includeADCC1100, ADCC0200, ADCC0300 and ADTTE TouchTrackers®.

The basic operating procedures for each of thesekeyboards are virtually identical. Access to different taskand programming levels is controlled by using smart cardson the ADCC1100 and passcodes on the ADCC0200 andADCC0300. On the ADTTE, access is determined by akey-controlled “system lock” and password procedure.

Because the ADCC1100 provides the most extensivefeature set of the currently available keyboards,MegaPower 48+ operation and programming will bediscussed with reference to the ADCC1100 keyboardlayout.

System Monitor On-Screen DisplaysWhen an operator calls a camera to view on primarymatrix monitors 1-8 and on any monitors connected tosecondary matrices, a text overlay appears on theselected video. The MegaPower 48+ system provides twodifferent formats for on-screen display. See page 23 fordetails on setting the display format for system monitors.

When Format 1 is selected, five fields of information aredisplayed at the bottom of the screen:

• The Camera Number can be a real or pseudo numberranging in value from 1 to 9999.

• The Status Line shows current information aboutsystem operation. Status information includes day ofthe week and monitor arming codes, dwell times, andmessages related to tours, salvos, and alarms.

• The Camera Title consists of two lines of up to eightcharacters for each line. See page 24 for details onsetting camera titles.

• The current Date can be provided in one of threedifferent formats. See page 17 for details on settingthe date.

• The current Time is provided in 24 hour format. Seepage 17 for details on setting the time.

When Format 2 is selected, the time and date fieldsappear at the top of the screen. Camera number, statusand camera title appear on the bottom of the screen.

Basic User Tasks(using an ADCC1100 keyboard)

This section discusses how a keyboard operator gainsaccess to a MegaPower 48+ system, and how camerasare called to view on workstation monitors.

Control of pan/tilt cameras is discussed, and how to zoom,focus, and adjust the iris of a camera lens. The sectionalso discusses how to run tours, patterns, and macros,and how to call presets and salvos.

There is also an explanation of how to select and controla VCR. In addition, procedures are provided foracknowledging alarms and controlling auxiliary devices.

Most of the operations discussed in this section can beperformed on the ADCC0200, ADCC0300, AD2079,AD2088 and ADTTE Touch Tracker keyboards. Consultthe documentation provided with the keyboard for moredetails.

Keyboard Access ControlUser access to the ADCC1100 depends on whether theUser IDs feature has been enabled on the connectedMegaPower 48+ matrix (see page 16). There are threemodes of user access control:

Mode 1User access is controlled by the smart card only. If UserIDs are disabled on the MegaPower 48+, then thekeyboard will log on to the matrix as soon as the smartcard is inserted into the keyboard.

Mode 2User access is controlled by a matrix User ID (which isstored on the smart card) and by a PIN number. If UserIDs are enabled on the switching matrix the keyboard willcheck the smart card to see if the User ID has been storedon the card. If it has, the operator only needs to enter aPIN number.

Mode 3User access is controlled by a matrix User ID (which isnot stored on the smart card) and by a PIN number. If noUser ID has been stored on the smart card, the keyboardwill prompt the user to enter the User ID and then the PINnumber.

For user number 1, the system is provided with a defaultsix-digit passcode “914365”. This default passcodeshould be changed to guard against unauthorizedaccess to the system. To insure system security, allpasscode information should be kept confidential.

Logging on to the Keyboard: Mode 11. At the welcome screen insert the smart card.

2. Depending on the privileges of the operator(supervisor, administrator or operator) a version ofthe main menu will be displayed.


2. At the Enter PIN screen, enter the PIN number usingthe alphanumeric keys. Press the ENTER soft key.



2. At the Enter User ID screen, enter the User ID numberusing the alphanumeric keys. Press the ENTER soft key.

3. At the Enter PIN screen, enter the PIN number usingthe alphanumeric keys. Press the ENTER soft key.


Configuring for MP48 or AD1024 modeThe ADCC1100 keyboard is designed for use with theMegaPower 48+ or AD1024 matrix switching system. TheADCC1100 keyboard needs to be set to one of thesesystems in order to operate correctly.

1. Using the Administrator’s smart card, log on to thesystem.

Selecting MonitorsWorkstation monitors display the video from the camerasand domes installed in local and/or satellite facilities. Eachmonitor has an identification number documented by thesystem administrator.

To select a monitor:

1. Enter the monitor identification number on the numerickeypad. The number entered will appear next to theENTER caption on the display.

2. Press the MONITOR button. The monitor number willdisappear from next to the ENTER caption and appearbeneath the MONITOR caption on the display.

Note: video output X16 (primary matrix, output port 16)can be used by the system to sample video. If video lossdetection is enabled for any system video input, X16 willnot be available for video switching.

Calling a Camera to View on a MonitorAfter a monitor has been called to the control of thekeyboard, a camera can be called to view on the monitor.Each system camera has a unique identification numberdocumented by the system administrator.

To call a camera:

1. Enter the camera identification number on the numerickeypad. The number entered will appear next to theENTER caption on the display.

2. Press the CAMERA button. The camera number willdisappear from next to the ENTER caption and appearbeneath the CAMERA caption on the display.

The selected video input now appears on the monitorscreen. After calling a camera to the selected monitor,any other camera can be called to the monitor byrepeating the two-step procedure described above.

Notes• Monitors connected to secondary matrices can only

view cameras connected to that secondary unit. Ifvideo from a secondary matrix is called to be viewedon a monitor connected to another matrix, a messagewill be displayed on-screen informing the user thatthe video input is invalid.

• On-screen text display is available on primary matrixmonitors 1-8 and also on any monitors connected tosecondary matrices.

Controlling Camera Pan, Tilt and ZoomOnce an appropriately equipped camera has been calledto view on a monitor, the operator can manually controlthe camera's movement. Pan is the side-to-sidemovement of the camera. Tilt is the up and downmovement of the camera.

The keyboard's joystick controls the panning and tiltingof cameras connected to the switching matrix. As thejoystick is moved to the left or right, and is moved towardsor away from the operator, the camera will pan and/or tiltaccordingly.

For cameras with variable speed pan/tilt capability,camera movement speed is proportional to the positioningof the joystick. The further from the stationary centreposition the joystick travels, the faster the camera willmove.

Zoom refers to the apparent action of moving closer to orfarther away from an object, as seen through the cameralens. For cameras equipped with an appropriate zoomlens, the zoom function can be controlled from the joystickby twisting it clockwise or counterclockwise. Twistingclockwise enables the lens to zoom in. Twistingcounterclockwise enables the lens to zoom out.

Center the joystick when the camera has been positionedappropriately.

Running PatternsA pattern is a sequential series of pan, tilt, zoom, andfocus commands defined for SpeedDome series domes.A pattern is programmed in real time, which means thatthe dome remembers each pattern segment in the actualtime it takes the operator to execute a command. Forexample, if, during a pattern sequence, the dome focuseson a door for 30 seconds, the door scene will appear for30 seconds when the pattern is called to run.

To run a pattern:


2. Call the camera that the pattern will run on.

3. Enter the pattern number (1-3) using the alphanumerickeys. The pattern number will appear next to ENTERon the keyboard’s display.

4. Press the PATTERN soft key.

Selecting and Running a MacroA macro is a series of keyboard inputs that is executedusing a single keystroke. Macros are arranged on thekeyboard display by means of icons and macro pages.Each macro page consists of eight icons arranged in tworows of four with each icon adjacent to a soft key. TheNEXT and PREVIOUS tab keys are used to select macropages.

The system administrator will record the macros that havebeen programmed for the switching system.

Note: The figure below shows a representation of adefault macro page. During macro programming, it ispossible to assign a different icon to each macro, and adifferent name to each macro page.

Figure 1: Macro Pages

Selecting the Macro Page1. Press the MACROS tab key to open the first macro

page.

2. Use the NEXT and PREVIOUS tab keys to select thedesired macro page.

Running a MacroMacros can be run in one of three ways:

1. Multiple Macros - During programming, an individualmacro key can have multiple macros assigned to it.Each macro is identified using a unique numberbetween 1-9999. The required macro is run byentering a number from the alphanumeric keypad (1to 9999), and then pressing the soft key associatedwith the macro’s icon.

2. Simple Macro - This type of macro assigns onefunction to a specific macro soft key. To run the macro,navigate to the macro’s icon and page and press thesoft key associated with the macro.

3. Variable Macro - This type of macro uses the numericentry from the keypad as a variable during the macro’sexecution. For example, the macro may have beenprogrammed such that when the operator enters anumber, the number is used to call that camera to amonitor specified in the macro’s program. This typeof macro enables an operator to greatly reduce thenumber of keystrokes required to call a camera to amonitor, while also unburdening the operator fromhaving to remember the number of the monitor thathas to be addressed. This application is for operatorswho consistently utilize certain monitors at theirworkstations.

To run the macro, enter a number using thealphanumeric keys (this is the variable), and pressthe soft key associated with the macro.

Selecting Video RecordersTo initiate VCR control, the operator performs the followingactions:

1. Press the OPERATOR tab key then press the NEXTsoft key.

2. Enter the number of the VCR using the numeric keys.

3. Press the VCR soft key.

The keyboard display will change to show soft key icons,which can be used to control the selected VCR.

Programming MacrosThe macro functions on the ADCC1100 keyboard are veryflexible. A number of user-programmable attributes areavailable that enable easy macro identification.

Macros are programmed in two stages:

1. The page and icon identifying the macro isprogrammed.

2. The macro function itself is programmed.

Stage 1 - Programming the Macro Page and IconMacros are arranged in eight “pages” with eight macrosper page. Each page can have a user-assigned nameallowing macros to be grouped together by function orsite location for example. In addition, each of the 64 macroicons can be programmed to allow easy identification bythe operator.

12

MegaPowerTM 48+

It is important to note that during programming, macroprogram information is initially stored using the keyboard’stemporary memory. However, macros may be written toa smart card either operator-by-operator, or as a “mastercollection” of system macros stored on the administrator’ssmart card.

If the smart card is removed from the keyboard beforemacros have been written to it, any programmed macroswill be lost.

Programming a Macro Page NameTo set the name used to identify a macro page:

1. Press the PROGRAM MODE tab key.2. Press the NEXT soft key.3. Press the MACRO CONFIG soft key. The Configure

Macro menu will be displayed (Figure 3).

Additional macros may be programmed for the samemacro soft key by following steps 1 through 8 above, andby using a different number for the macro at step 4.

Advanced MacrosMacros can be programmed containing ‘null’ values whichare substituted by input from the operator when the macrois executed. A ‘0’ (zero) is used as part of the macro’sprogram to act as a variable.

Example 1 - “Quick Switch” functionA macro programmed with the keystrokes [4], [MONITOR],[0], [CAMERA]

Operator input: 28 [MACRO KEY]

Effect: camera 28 would be called to monitor 4.

or

Operator input: 34 [MACRO KEY]

Effect: camera 34 would be called to monitor 4.

Example 2 - using currently selected camera or monitorA macro programmed with the keystrokes [5], [MONITOR],[0], [CAMERA], [0], [MONITOR]

Operator input: [MACRO KEY]

Effect: the currently selected camera would be called tomonitor 5, and control would be returned to the previousmonitor in use.

Example 3 - Alarm “Quick ACK”A macro programmed with the keystrokes [5], [MONITOR],[ACKNOWLEDGE ALARM], [0], [MONITOR]

Operator input: [MACRO KEY]

Effect: acknowledges the alarm condition on monitor 5,and returns control to the monitor previously in use beforethe alarm condition.

When a macro function has been programmed, it is heldin the keyboard’s memory. If the smart card is removed,the macro is lost. Provision is made for storing macroson a smart card and this can be an operator’s card, asupervisor’s card or the administrator’s card.

Programming Smart CardsSmart card programming can be done in sections:

1. User codes, names and partition information.

2. Macro page and macro icon information.

3. Macro function information.

Smart card functions include:

Prerequisites for Paging• An analog telephone line. MegaPower 48+ paging will

not work with a digital telephone line.

• An external (AT Command Set) modem.

• Subscription to a telecommunications serviceprovider. The provider must support the TelocatorAlphanumeric Protocol (TAP). The modem connectedto the system must communicate directly with theservice provider’s computer.

• Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) assigned bythe service provider to the remote paging devices thatwill receive transmissions from the MegaPower 48+system.

Modem ConnectionThe external modem must be connected to the DB9connector for port 8 on the patch panel of the primarymatrix. Typically a standard DB9 to DB25 modem cableis used for this connection.

Once connected, go to the Ports menu and set the PORTUSE for the connected port to MODEM. Set the BAUD to2400, PARITY to EVEN, DATA BITS to 7 and STOP BITSto 2. See page 18 for more details on the Ports menu.

Note: Only one modem can be connected in aMegaPower 48+ system—connections cannot be madeto port 8 on more than one matrix in a multi matrix system.Port 8 on a MegaPower 48+ unit is also equipped with anRJ45 jack for connection to a variety of RS232 devices.However, if the DB9 connector is used for modemconnection, the RJ45 jack must not be connected to anydevice.

Associating an Alarm Contact with a Pager MessageFor a paging message to be sent when an specific alarmis triggered, it is necessary to specify which message willbe sent to which pager when the alarm contact istriggered.

To do this, go to the Alarm Setup menu and then selectthe menu for the desired type of alarm contact (i.e., PatchPanel, Serial, Dome, Video Loss). In the subsequentlydisplayed screen, select the desired alarm and completethe following fields:

• SEND TO - Use this field to enter the pager profilenumber (1-64) that the message is to be sent to whenthe alarm contact is triggered.

The PHONE NUMBER field accepts up to 32 charactersfor automatic dialing of the computerized system of apaging communications service.

The PERSONAL ID NUMBER field accepts up to 16characters to provide an identifier for the communicationsservices company.

To edit a Paging Profile:

1. Position the cursor on the EDIT PAGING PROFILEfield. Enter a profile number from 1 to 64 and pressthe ENTER soft key. The cursor automaticallyadvances to the Numeric line and the PHONENUMBER field.

2. Use the joystick to move the cursor on the Numericline to the position of the character to be entered onthe PHONE NUMBER field. Press the ENTER softkey. The character will appear in the PHONENUMBER field. Continue until the entire phonenumber is entered.

MegaPowerTM 48+

• MESSAGE - Use this field to enter the number of themessage (1-250) that is to be sent to the selectedpager whenever the alarm contact is triggered.

See pages 36 for more details on setting up alarmresponses.

Paging Response to AlarmsApproximately 30 seconds elapse between the time aalarm contact is triggered, and the time that the associatedtext message appears on a remote pager.

Multiple alarms are queued in the sequence in which theyoccur. Therefore, for each alarm in queue, a 30 secondinterval is required for transmission to the pager to takeplace. For example, five alarms would requireapproximately 150 seconds for transmission.

In the event of a busy signal for a given paging alarm, thealarm moves to the back of the queue, and calls againafter advancing to the front of the queue. A maximum ofthree calls is scheduled for a single paging alarm event.

Multi-MatrixA MegaPower 48+ system can be anything from a singleunit (48 video inputs, 16 video outputs) to a systemcomprising a primary unit with six secondaries (288 videoinputs, eight full cross point switched monitor outputs andseven additional monitor outputs on each secondary unitfor viewing of video from that secondary unit only).

The Multi Matrix screen is used to specify how theMegaPower 48+ system has been set up. The screenmust be completed so that the system is aware of howmany MegaPower 48+ units are connected together, andsubsequently how many inputs and outputs are availablein the system.

Following the MULTIMATRIX MODE field, there arenumber of fields that are used to determine networkinformation for the primary unit and any connectedsecondary units.

• The UNIT IP ADDRESS field is used to specify theaddress that uniquely identifies the primary unit fromall other devices on the network.

• The SUBNET MASK field is used to determine whichpart of the organization’s network that the primary unitis located. Typically, a subnet may represent all themachines at one geographic location, in one building,or on the same local area network.

• The GATEWAY field is used to enter the defaultgateway for the primary unit. The default gatewaydefines the address of the router for the network, ifrequired.

• The SECOND IP fields (A-F) are used to enter the IPaddresses of any secondary units. These entriesshould match the addresses that are entered whenthe secondary units themselves are configured – seethe following section for more details.

To complete these fields:

1. Move the cursor to the required field.

2. Enter the desired address three figures at a time,pressing the ENTER soft key after each section ofthe address has been entered (i.e., 255, ENTER, 255,ENTER, 255, ENTER, 255, ENTER).

Once addresses of primary and secondary units have beenentered, the system will poll these addresses to confirmtheir status. If an IP address is correct and the unit is online,the STAT field for that address will display a P for Present.If the address is incorrect or the unit is offline, the STATfield for that address will display a NC for Not Connected.

Secondary UnitsIf SECONDARY is selected from the UNIT IS field, themenu will alter in appearance as shown below:

Note: If a unit is configured as secondary, no further dataentry will be possible outside this menu. This detail isdeferred to the primary unit as soon as secondary modeis enabled. For this reason, a confirmation message isdisplayed when the secondary option is selected.

In this menu, it is only necessary to configure networksettings for the secondary unit itself. The fields in thismenu should be completed as follows:• The UNIT IP ADDRESS field is used to specify the

address that uniquely identifies this secondary unitfrom all other devices on the network.

• The SUBNET MASK field is used to determine whichpart of the organization’s network that the secondaryunit is located.

• The GATEWAY field is used to enter the defaultgateway for the secondary unit, if required.

• The PRIMARY IP field is used to enter the IP addressof the primary unit in the system.

To complete these fields:

1. Move the cursor to the required field.

2. Enter the desired address three figures at a time,pressing the ENTER soft key after each section ofthe address has been entered.

Once the address of the primary unit has been entered,the system will poll this address to confirm the status. Ifan IP address is correct and the primary unit is online,the STAT will display a P for Present. The two fields atthe bottom of the menu will also be completed. Thesefields identify which secondary matrix this unit has beenspecified as (A-F) and the multi matrix mode that hasbeen specified on the primary unit (0-3)

If the address is incorrect or the unit is offline, the STATfield will display a NC for Not Connected.

Monitor MenuThe Monitor menu is used to view and/or modify eachmonitor’s setup programming, and to arm monitors forresponse to alarms.

The menu consists of a single page which will change asany given monitor is selected. Monitors are listed by theirmonitor identification number, and a matrix reference isalso given to show which matrix the monitor is connectedto (X = primary unit, A-F = secondary unit).

To select a monitor, move the cursor to the MONITORfield, enter the required monitor identification number andpress the ENTER soft key. Alternatively, use the ENTERsoft key to toggle through the available monitors.

Block Display – incoming alarms are viewed on a blockof monitors. The first incoming alarm is displayed onthe first (lowest numbered) monitor of the block. Thesecond alarm is displayed on the next lowestnumbered monitor of the block, and so on. When allmonitors in a given block are displaying alarm videosignals, all subsequent alarms are held in queue untilthe displayed alarms are cleared.

• The Queuing methodSequence Queuing – incoming alarms are displayedin sequence on an armed monitor, and will cyclecontinuously until each is cleared. Each alarm will bedisplayed for a pre-programmed dwell time, before itis succeeded by the next received alarm.

Hold Queuing – an incoming alarm is displayed andheld on an armed monitor until it is cleared. Allsubsequent alarms are queued in order until thecurrent held alarm is cleared.

• The Clearance methodManual Clear – an alarm is cleared by a system

operator’s keyboard command (i.e., the ALARM ( )soft key).

Instant Clear – an alarm is reset immediately at itssource (if the alarm has not already been manuallyacknowledged). For example, a door opens andactivates an alarm. Closing the door clears the alarminstantly.

Auto Clear – an alarm is reset at its source after a 20second delay (if the alarm has not already beenmanually acknowledged). For example, a door opensand activates an alarm. The door is immediatelyclosed, but the alarm will not clear unless the doorremains closed for a 20 second interval.

To set or change a monitor arm type:

1. Move the cursor to the ARM TYPE field.

2. Press the ENTER soft key to cycle through the armtypes until the appropriate selection is found.

Following is a list of available arm types:

MONITOR - X01

ARM TYPE - BSI 001 ACK - YTOUR - 02TOUR STATUS - HOLDDATE TIME - ONTITLE DISPLAY - ONSCREEN TEMPLATE - FORMAT 1

Notes• The number of monitors available depends on how

the Multi Matrix screen was configured (i.e., the multi-matrix mode used and the number of matrices addedto the system - see page 20). More information onmonitor numbering in multi-matrix systems can befound in Appendix D.

• Video output X16 (primary matrix, output port 16) isused by the system to sample video. If video lossdetection is enabled for any system video input, videooutput X16 will not be available for video switching,regardless of parameters programmed through theMonitor menu.

The menu contains a number of general settings fieldsand a set of fields specific to monitor arming.

ARM TYPEThe top row of fields is used to arm monitors for alarmcall up. A user can select to either leave a monitordisarmed, or they can arm the monitor by selecting oneof the arming option from the ARM TYPE field. The optionsare always a combination of the following threeparameters:

• The Display methodSingle Display – incoming alarms are displayed on asingle monitor with which they are associated. Multiplealarms received at single monitor will be displayed insequence based on the monitor’s queuing method.

Dual Display – incoming alarms are displayed on apair of monitors. The monitor that receives the first ofa series of alarms is called the hold monitor.Subsequent alarms are received and queued at thesecond monitor of the pair. The second monitor iscalled the sequence monitor. After an alarm is clearedon the hold monitor, the first alarm in queue on thesequence monitor is moved to the hold monitor forviewing and clearance.

BLOCKWhen an arming option with a block display method hasbeen selected, the BLOCK field is activated (the threenumbers shown after the monitor arming code). This fieldis used to add the monitor to a block. A monitor block canconsist of any set of connected monitors—the monitorsdo not need to be contiguous.

For example, if an alarm is set to call a salvo when it istriggered, the salvo will be displayed on all monitors thathave been allocated this block number.

To select or change a block number for a monitor:

1. Move the cursor to the BLOCK field.

2. Enter the appropriate block number (1-16).


Notes• The alarm clearance method for the block is set by

the arming code of the lowest number monitor of theblock only.

• The queuing method can be set differently for eachmonitor in the block. Queuing restrictions only applyif the monitor block is to display system or link salvos.To arm a monitor block salvo for hold queuing, allmonitors in the block must be set to a hold queuingmethod. To arm a monitor block salvo for sequencequeuing, arm the lowest number monitor of the blockto a sequence queuing method and arm the remainingmonitors to a hold queuing method.

• Associate alarm contacts with the first monitor of theblock only. Do not associate any alarm contacts tothe remaining monitors in the block. See page 38 formore details on creating alarm associations.

ACK (Manual Acknowledge)The ACK field enables or disables the manual clearfeature for instant and auto clear arming codes. Thisfeature must be programmed after the monitor is armedwith an instant or auto clear alarm type.

To set up manual clear/acknowledge for Instant or Auto:

1. Move the cursor to the ACK field.

2. Press the ENTER soft key to toggle between Y andN.

• Y (ACK enabled) – when enabled, the letter “A” isdisplayed after the arm type (e.g. SSI A).

• N (ACK disabled) – when disabled, the letter “A”does not appear after the arm type.

Note: the ACK entry cannot be set to N if a manualclear arm type code is selected for the monitor.

To select an entry from the Cameras menu:

1. Move the cursor to the appropriate line or enter thenumber (1-6) for the appropriate line.



Assign Pseudo CamerasIn a single matrix system, camera numbering is simplewith cameras numbered from 1 to 48 based on the portto which they are connected. However, in multi-matrixsystems, camera numbering becomes more complicated.

The Assign Pseudo Cameras menu is used to specifywhether the default camera numbering should be usedfor menu and keyboard operations. Alternatively, the usercan assign pseudo camera numbers to each video input.

In the menu, cameras are listed by their default cameranumber and have a field in which a pseudo cameranumber can be specified. Port reference numbers arealso shown.

Pseudo camera numbers default to the default cameranumbering (1-288). The pseudo numbers can be changedto any numerical value from 1 to 9999. Pseudo numbersenable cameras to be identified by function or location.For example, in a two-story building with 10 cameraslocated on each floor, floor 1 cameras could be assignedthe pseudo numbers 101 through 110 and floor 2 camerascould be assigned the pseudo numbers 201 through 210.

To select an entry from the Switching menu:




System ToursA system tour is a programmable sequence of cameraviews that can be called for display on a single monitor.64 system tours can be programmed for callup to anymonitor at any time by keyboard operator commands orby automatic timed events. Each tour can contain up to64 camera views. Each tour entry can have an associateddwell time, preset or pattern, auxiliary action, and connectnext status for each entry.

Note: On monitors connected to secondary units, it isonly possible to recall cameras connected to the samesecondary unit. If a tour is recalled on a secondary monitorand a camera in that tour is not available, the previouscamera view will remain on the monitor for the requireddwell time. A message (“INVcccc”) is displayed on themonitor to indicate that an invalid camera was selected.

CAM (Camera)This field identifies the camera, salvo or tour associatedwith the tour step. The CN field identifies the entry asbeing a camera, salvo or tour. Enter the required numberusing the numeric keys and press the ENTER soft key.

DWELLThis field is used to set the length of time that the tourstep remains active. Once the period expires, the nexttour step is displayed.

Enter the required dwell time using the numeric keys andpress the ENTER soft key. A dwell time can range from 1to 60 seconds. An entry of 61 will hold the current cameraview until the RUN key is pressed on the controllingkeyboard. An entry of 0 will eliminate the step from thetour.

FUNCT (Preset/Pattern)If the CN field is set to Y (Yes) or N (No), this field can beused to recall either a preset or pattern on the specifiedcamera.

A preset is a programmed camera view determined by acamera with pan/tilt and/or lens adjustment capability. Ina MegaPower 48+ system, presets can range from 1 to96.

A pattern is a series of pre-programmed camera viewsprogrammed in real time. In a MegaPower 48+system,patterns can range from 1 to 3.

To call a preset or pattern, move the cursor to the firsthalf of the required FUNCT field and press the ENTERsoft key to toggle between preset (PR) and pattern (PT).Move the joystick to the second part of the requiredFUNCT field and use the numeric keys to enter therequired preset or pattern number.

Note: When calling a pattern, ensure that the dwell timefor the tour step is equal to or greater than the total timerequired to run the pattern.

AUX (Auxiliary)If a camera that is called is equipped with auxiliary relaysthat control a switched device (door lock, light, gate, etc.),then these relays can be activated using this field.

To select an auxiliary action for a tour entry, move thecursor to the required AUX field and use the ENTER softkey to toggle through the available options— 1 ON, 2ON, 3 ON, 4 ON, 1 OFF, 2 OFF, 3 OFF and 0 (no action).

CN (Connect Next)Use the ENTER soft key to toggle through the availableConnect Next options:

• If N (No) is selected, the connect next function is notenabled. The next tour step is displayed after thespecified dwell time for the previous tour step haselapsed. A typical tour that shows a sequence ofdifferent camera views on a single monitor will haveN (No) in this field on every tour step.

• If Y (Yes) is selected for a tour step, the next tour stepwill be simultaneously called to the next contiguousmonitor. A dwell time is specified for the first step inthis emulated salvo (this is not a system salvo).Subsequent steps in this emulated salvo must havea dwell time of 0. The last step of the emulated salvoshould have the CN field set to N (No).

Event TimersEvent timers enable automatic call up of system toursand/or alarm monitor/contact groups. Each of theseautomatic callups is called an event.

System Tour Call UpEach sub-menu entry identifies a system tour that is calledat the specified time for the indicated monitor on theindicated day of the week. Entries for a new event timerdefault to 00 (no system tours called).

To program a system tour for call up by an event timer:

1. Move the cursor to the cross point of the appropriateday of week and the appropriate MON (monitor)position row.

2. Enter the system tour number (1-64) to call to thespecified monitor at the appropriate day and eventtime.

Note: entering “00” is a “no action” command, while“65” is a “hold monitor at current camera” command.


Alarm Monitor/Contact (TBL) Call UpDifferent monitor/contact tables can be programmed todefine which alarm contacts are armed for each monitorin the system.

The Monitor/Contact default table (indicated by dashes)defines monitor/contact associations used in an alarmsystem active 24 hours/day, seven days/week.

Monitor/Contact tables 1-10 are used specifically for eventtimer call up.

To define Monitor/Contact table call up by an event timer:

1. Move the cursor to the cross point of the appropriateday of the week on the TBL line.

2. Enter the monitor\contact table number (1-10)appropriate for call up at the indicated day and eventtime.

• 00 = no callup, use the default alarm contact table.

• 1–10 = calls up the appropriate monitor/contacttable for a specific time of day.


Event Timer Programming ExampleAn event timer is defined for 7:11 to call up system tours01 through 05 to Monitor 01 on Monday through Friday.System Tours 06 and 07 are called up on Saturday andSunday. Monitor/Contact table 1 is called up on Monday.Monitor/Contact group 2 is called up on Saturday.

Note: When an alarm table number has been assignedto a given time on a given day, it is not necessary to enterthe table number on following days. On the day the tableassignment changes, an new table number must beentered. See example directly below.

The Event Timer screen programs each event for thesecall ups. A maximum of 35 events can be programmed.Each event can be programmed for system tour and alarmmonitor/contact group call ups for each day of the week.An event timer (“event”) is identified by entering a time inthe line directly below the menu title. If the event is new,the word “new” is displayed. If the event already exists,either the word “enabled” or “disabled” is displayed. Whenthe timer is cleared, the words “illegal time” are displayed.To create an new event timer, or edit an existing timer:1. Move the cursor to the time line, under the menu title.2. Enter the appropriate two digit hour (01, 02, 03, etc.)

for this event, and press the ENTER soft key.Note: time is entered in 24 hour format.

3. Enter the minutes in two digits for this event, and pressthe ENTER soft key.

Edit TimerMove the cursor to the EDIT TIMER line and press theENTER soft key to display the menu to set an event timer.This menu programs the automatic call ups for the eventspecified.

The menu has multiple pages with eight monitors perpage. Monitors are listed by their monitor identificationnumber. Use the joystick to move to the required monitor.The PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN soft keys can be usedto scroll page by page.

Note: The number of monitors displayed in this screendepends on how the Multi Matrix screen was configured(i.e., the multi-matrix mode used and the number of matricesadded to the system - see page 20). More information onmonitor numbering in multi-matrix systems can be foundin Appendix D.

MegaPowerTM 48+

AlarmsThe MegaPower 48+ system has four categories ofalarms:

1. Patch Panel Alarms are alarm contacts that are wireddirectly to the alarms section of a MegaPower 48+connection panel. There can be up to 16 patch panelalarm inputs per unit (maximum of 112 alarms withsix secondary units).

2. RS232 Alarms are alarm contacts routed to a RS232port on the MegaPower 48+ patch panel via anAD2096A Alarm Interface Unit (AIU). Each connectedAD2096A unit can be connected to 48 alarm inputs. Amaximum of 512 RS232 alarm inputs can beconnected.

3. Dome Alarms are alarm contacts routed from ADdomes to the RS422 or SensorNet connectors on theMegaPower 48+ patch panel. There can be up to fouralarm inputs on each connected AD dome (maximum288 dome cameras).

4. Video Loss Alarms are triggered by the loss of thesynchronisation signal from any video input connectedto the MegaPower 48+ patch panel. There can be avideo loss alarm for every video input, whether it isconnected to the primary matrix or to a secondaryunit. This means there is a maximum of 288 videoloss alarms.

Programming an AlarmThere are three steps to programming an alarm:

1. Create an alarm response for the connected alarmcontact. This is done using the Alarm Setup screens.When an alarm contact is triggered, a preset positionand auxiliary action on a specific video input can becalled, as can a salvo or pattern. It is also possible toactivate on-screen messages, relays on a MegaPower48+ patch panel and for the system to send a specifiedtext message to a specified pager.

See pages 36-37 for more details on the Alarm Setupscreens.

2. Associate the alarm contact with system monitors.This is done using the Association Alarms toMonitors screens. When an alarm contact istriggered, the response that has been created (i.e.,video input, salvo, pattern, on-screen message) willbe displayed on all monitors associated with thespecific alarm contact.

See pages 38-39 for more details on the AlarmAssociations screens.

3. Arm system monitors. This is done using the Monitorsmenu. Only armed monitors will display alarmresponses, and the arming method selecteddetermines how alarms will be displayed, queued andcleared.

See page 22 for more details on the Monitors menu.

Note: Before programming video loss alarms, ensure thatvideo loss detection is enabled on any video inputs thatare to have video loss alarms. See page 24 for details onenabling video loss detection.

Additional Alarm Programming NotesPlease take note of the following points when carryingout alarm programming:

Auxiliary and Preset Alarm CallupsMultiple alarm contacts can be associated with differentauxiliary and/or preset callups for a single camera. If morethan one of these alarm contacts are triggered during anevent, the system will activate each preset and/or auxiliaryfor the same camera in the order that the alarms arereceived.

For details about adding auxiliaries and presets to analarm response, see the Alarm Setup screens on pages36-37.

Associating Alarms with SalvosAn alarm contact can be set to call a system or link salvowhen it is triggered (see pages 35-37). To display thesesalvos properly, alarm contacts must be associated witha monitor block containing a sufficient number of monitorsfor the cameras defined in the salvos. If there are moresalvo cameras than block monitors, the additionalcameras will not be displayed.

It should also be noted that if the first monitor of the blockis armed for Manual Clear, the keyboard must call thefirst monitor of the block displaying the salvo in order toclear the salvo.

For more details about monitor blocks, see page 23.

Wired Alarm Contact SetsConsecutively numbered alarm contacts can be groupinto wired sets. A wired set is a group of alarms such thatwhen any member of the set is triggered, all membersare triggered. Each alarm is then displayed, queued andcleared according to the arming code of the monitors it isassociated with.

If an alarm contact in a wired set is associated with amonitor that has been armed with an Instant or Autoclearance method, then all members of the wired set willbe cleared when the source alarm is cleared. If the monitorhas a Manual clearance method, each alarm in the setmust be manually acknowledged, or alternatively one ofthe Group Acknowledge link options can be selected tothe alarm response so that when a member of the wiredset is cleared, all other members of the wired set are alsocleared.

Associate Alarms to MonitorsThe Associate Alarms to Monitors menu defines whichsystem monitors will display incoming system alarms.Each of the four alarm types (patch panel, RS232, dome,and video loss) can have up to 10 monitor/alarm tablesthat can be programmed for different associationsappropriate for different times of day. These tables arelinked to times through the Switching/Event Timersmenu.

The first viewable association table for any category isthe default (or manual) table. If alarms do not have to belinked to specific times of day, all monitor/alarmassociations are programmed through the default table.

All of the association tables enable the selection of allsystem monitors. All valid monitors will display theappropriate video input when an alarm is activated, butonly primary matrix monitors 1-8 and all secondarymonitors will display text.

Notes• Video output X16 (primary matrix, output port 16) is

used by the system to sample video. If video lossdetection is enabled for any system video input, videooutput X16 will not be available for video switching.

• Monitors connected to secondary units can only viewcameras connected to that secondary unit. So if analarm calls video from one secondary unit to be viewedon a monitor connected to another secondary unit, amessage will be displayed on-screen informing theuser that the video input is invalid.

• By default, there is no association between any alarmand monitor. However, each active alarm contactshould be associated with at least one monitor.Without this association, any video or on-screenmessage that is set to be shown when the alarm istriggered will not be displayed.

To select an association table for one of the four alarmcategories:

• Move the cursor to the appropriate alarm category, orenter the category number and press the ENTER softkey.
