Allegiant Video Switcher
FIG 6-1 Range of BOSCH Allegiant Video Switchers
A maximum of 4 audience video displays can be connected to the Allegiant video switcher (not
applicable for video switcher LTC 8100 series) using outputs 2 to 5. The actual number set is defined
in the DCN Camera Control software LBB 3562 or LBB 3588. This option may save the need to use
a video distribution amplifier. Use of more than one video output for the audience may have a
negative influence on the system performance (response to events) for camera control.
Audience video displays shall be selected in accordance with the requirements of the conference
venue, e.g. large screen video projector(s), large screen monitors or TV-sets.
