Satellite System Configuration Installations
A satellite system configuration is usually used for a medium to large distributed system, or to
obtain extremely large matrix sizes configured more conventionally. Typically, a single Main
control site can be used to view/control cameras located both locally and at various remote
satellite sites. Since up to 256 satellite sites can be linked to a single Main control site, very
large, distributed systems can be achieved. If the satellite systems are located at the same site
as the Main system, the result is a large conventional-type system.
In a satellite configuration, the Main control site can view/control any camera in the entire
system, but the remote satellite sites can only view/control cameras associated with their own
site. Satellites may be configured to operate either independently or with no local viewing/
control capability.
It is also possible to configure satellite systems where each site can view/control cameras
from anywhere in the system. For a 2 site system, this is referred to as a dual master
configuration. In the same manner, triple and quadruple master system configurations can also
be configured. Cascaded satellite systems, where a Main site has a satellite which is a master
to another satellite, is another available scenario. In fact, it is possible to configure systems
that include a mixture of any or all of the above scenarios.

The central station can view/control cameras located
at any site. The satellite sites can view/control
cameras located only within their own site.
