Installation Manual Introduction The MegaPower 48+ matrix switcher/controller is a video routing system with a broad range of functionality. The unit has a compact, wall-mount design enabling it to be installed in the most centralized location with respect to the video inputs. The unit can also be mounted behind other equipment in the rear of a rack at 90° to conserve space for other products or it can be rack mounted at other angles to facilitate easy cable connections.
MegaPowerTM 48+ Mechanical Installation 1. Remove the components from Box 1 and arrange them on a surface near the mounting location. 2. Remove and discard the red shipping knobs attached to the patch panel assembly. The knobs are used only for factory packaging and must be removed prior to installation. 3. Using a level, position the installation template where the assembly is to be mounted.

MegaPowerTM 48+ Cable Networks Cable networks provide the means through which the MegaPower 48+ Main Electronics Unit communicates with receiver/ driver units and domes. Three types of networks can be used with the Manchester, SensorNet, or SEC-RS422 protocols. • Daisy Chain – in a daisy chain configuration, a separate cable connects each device to the next device in the chain (Fig. A). • Backbone – in a backbone configuration, a single, continuous cable connects all domes in the network link (Fig. B).

Installation Manual Multi-Matrix Configurations MegaPower 48+ units can be connected together in multi-matrix systems. A primary MegaPower 48+ matrix can be connected with up to six secondary matrices, creating a maximum system capacity of 288 video inputs with 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).
MegaPowerTM 48+ Mechanical Installation of Multiple Matrices Each MegaPower 48+ unit in a multi-matrix system must be installed and connected to a power supply as explained in the mechanical installation procedure detailed on page 6. Network Connections in a Multi-Matrix System In a multi-matrix system, matrices can be connected together via Ethernet. All ethernet connections should be made with Cat 5 twisted pair cable with a maximum length of 300 feet.
Installation Manual In a multi-matrix system with more than two matrices, matrices must be connected together via a network switch as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to use a true network switch rather than a hub as a switch only sends data to the relevant port connection while a hub will copy the data to all ports. Straight connections should be made from the network connector on each matrix to the network switch.
MegaPowerTM 48+ Video Connections in a Multi-Matrix System The video connections made in a multi-matrix system will depend on the operation mode that is being used. In all following sections, the maximum number of trunk video connections are shown and by connecting in this manner, the maximum number of full cross point switched monitor outputs can be achieved.
Installation Manual Mode 1: Primary Matrix with 2 Secondary Matrices Consult the figure below in order to connect video inputs and outputs to the system. The 16 monitor outputs from each secondary matrix must be connected to 16 video inputs on the primary matrix. Sixteen full cross point switched monitor outputs are available by connecting monitors to video outputs 1-16 on the primary matrix. PRIMARY MATRIX MONITORS 1-16 (PORT REFS.
MegaPowerTM 48+ Mode 1: Primary Matrix with 3 Secondary Matrices Consult the figure below in order to connect video inputs and outputs to the system. The 16 monitor outputs from each secondary matrix must be connected to 16 video inputs on the primary matrix. Sixteen full cross point switched monitor outputs are available by connecting monitors to video outputs 1-16 on the primary matrix. PRIMARY MATRIX MONITORS 1-16 (PORT REFS.
Installation Manual Mode 2 Configurations Mode 2: Primary Matrix with 1 Secondary Matrix Consult the figure below in order to connect video inputs and outputs to the system. Monitor outputs 4-15 from the secondary matrix must be connected to video inputs 1-12 on the primary matrix. Twelve full cross point switched monitor outputs are available by connecting monitors to video outputs 1-12 on the primary matrix. Monitors can also be connected to monitor outputs 1-3 on the secondary matrix.
MegaPowerTM 48+ secondary matrix must be connected to 8 video inputs on the primary matrix. Eight full cross point switched monitor outputs are available by connecting monitors to video outputs 1-8 on the primary matrix. Monitors can also be connected to monitor outputs 1-7 on each secondary matrix. These monitors can display video inputs from that secondary unit only. On all matrices, video output 16 is reserved for video-loss detection.
Installation Manual Consult the figure below in order to connect video inputs and outputs to the system. Monitor outputs 8-15 from each secondary matrix must be connected to 8 video inputs on the primary matrix. Eight full cross point switched monitor outputs are available by connecting monitors to video outputs 1-8 on the primary matrix. Monitors can also be connected to monitor outputs 1-7 on each secondary matrix. These monitors can display video inputs from that secondary unit only.
MegaPowerTM 48+ Mode 3: Primary Matrix with 5 or 6 Secondary Matrices Consult the figures on page 52 and 53 in order to connect video inputs and outputs to the system. Monitor outputs 8-15 from each secondary matrix must be connected to 8 video inputs on the primary matrix. Eight full cross point switched monitor outputs are available by connecting monitors to video outputs 1-8 on the primary matrix. Monitors can also be connected to monitor outputs 1-7 on each secondary matrix.
Installation Manual RS232 Connections in a Multi-Matrix System Keyboard and Port Expander Connection Keyboards can be connected to any RS232 port in a multi-matrix system. Therefore, in a Mode 3 configuration with six secondary matrices, up to 56 keyboards can be connected (without using port expanders). Any of these keyboards can be used to control any component in the system—keyboards connected to a secondary matrix are NOT limited to control of components connected to the same secondary matrix.
MegaPowerTM 48+ The use of port expanders is also supported in multi-matrix systems, enabling up to four keyboards to be connected to any one RS232 port. This means up to 32 keyboards can be connected to any matrix, and that in a Mode 3 configuration with six secondary matrices, up to 224 keyboards can be connected. A MegaPower 48+ system supports a maximum of 64 active keyboards with a maximum of 20 keyboards performing PTZ operations at any one time.
Installation Manual A compatible modem can only be connected to Port 8 of the RS232 section on the primary matrix. Note, however that only one modem can be added to a multi-matrix system. See page 24 for more details on connecting a modem. Alarm Interface Unit Connection An AD2096A Alarm Interface Unit (AIU) can be connected to any RS232 port in a multi-matrix system. Each AD2096A can be connected with up to 64 alarm contacts, and a maximum of eight units can be connected to the system (i.e.
MegaPowerTM 48+ Peripheral Interface Port Connection MegaPower 48+ embedded software and system setup software provide the user with a system option to enable one Peripheral Interface Port (PIP). This can be any RS2332 port in a multi-matrix system. See page 30 for more details. PC Connection in a Multi-Matrix System In a multi-matrix system, an Ethernet connection can be made between the primary matrix and a PC using a straight CAMERAS 1-48 MONITORS 9-15 (PORT REFS. A1-A48) (PORT REFS.
Installation Manual connection via an Ethernet hub or switch. Alternatively, a PC can be connected directly to a RS232 port on the primary matrix, but it is preferable to use an Ethernet connection when running the Easy 48 configuration software. See page 30 for more details on connecting a PC to a MegaPower 48+.
