Programming/Software Capabilities
The LTC 8500 Series includes a 48-character on-screen
display for time-date, camera number, camera ID (16
characters), an icon to identify controllable cameras, and
monitor (12 characters) or status information. Over 250
characters are available when programming camera ID
and monitor titles.
Utilizing a Windows-based PC and the LTC 8059/00
Master Control Software package or LTC 8850/00
Graphical User Interface (GUI) software, enhanced
programming and switching features can be obtained. A
user-friendly spreadsheet format provides the ability to
enter camera titles, operator names, 64 timed events,
change system parameters, program camera sequences,
install lockouts, and access the advanced alarm handling
screens with speed and efficiency. The program
information may then be transferred into the Allegiant
system, stored on disk, or printed out directly from a
printer connected to the PC.
The LTC 8850/00 Bosch GUI software is designed around
an intuitive graphic-based interface; the GUI provides high
performance programming, control and monitoring of all
system functions by using on-screen icons to reflect real
time status of the devices controlled by the system.
The LTC 8850/00 GUI software also provides the ability to
monitor system status events. System alarms, switching
functions, sequence events, keyboard actions, and video
loss information can be viewed in real time on the PC
screen and, if desired, logged to the PC hard drive.
The LTC 8500 Series contains a logging printer output
port which accepts a standard RS-232 serial printer. This
provides a permanent record of system status showing
time and date of changes, such as: incoming alarms,
acknowledgment of alarms, loading of sequences, user
log-on to keyboard, transfer of system tables and
sequences, and a power up reset message. In addition,
the printer can be used to obtain a hard copy of the
system's configuration tables and sequences.
Expansion Capabilities
The LTC 8500 Series can serve as the Master switcher in a
SatelliteSwitch configuration. This innovative
SatelliteSwitch feature enables a single LTC 8500 Series
system to communicate with up to 64 remotely located
"Satellite" systems. Any Allegiant system model can serve
as a remote Satellite switcher. This powerful feature
permits the design of a distributed type system. The main
control site can view/control local cameras plus cameras
located at any of the remotely distributed Satellite sites.
The Satellite sites can view/control only cameras
associated with their own site. When used in this type of
configuration, the main LTC 8500 Series system can
access up to 256 cameras located anywhere in the
system.
