Programming/Software Capabilities
The LTC 8600 Series includes a black outlined 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. A user selectable option provides the ability
to display a third line of on-screen text. This third line can
be configured to display up to 24 additional camera title
characters (40 characters total) or a 12-character monitor
title.
The on-screen display is also user selectable to operate in
"6-digit Camera ID" mode. When enabled, 2-digit "site
numbers" are displayed in addition to the 4-digit camera
number. The 2-digit site number feature is especially
useful when groups of cameras are located in separate
buildings, floors, or other common areas. Over 1000
characters are available when programming camera ID
and monitor titles.
Utilizing a standard Windows
®
-based PC and the optional
LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software package, 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 programmed
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 8600 Series contain a logging printer output port.
This RS-232 serial interface can be connected to the serial
port of a PC to provide 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, video loss messages, and a power
up reset message. In addition, lists of the system's
configuration tables and sequences can be sent to the
printer port. The LTC 8600 system provides powerful
macro capabilities. The macros can be activated using
Allegiant Series system keyboards, system time event
functions, and alarm activations.
Expansion Capabilities
The LTC 8600 Series can serve as the Master Switcher in
a SatelliteSwitch
®
configuration. This innovative
SatelliteSwitch feature enables a single LTC 8600 Series
system to communicate with remotely located "Satellite"
systems. Any Allegiant system model can serve as a
master or remote Satellite switcher. This powerful feature
permits the design of a distributed matrix video switching
system with control at one central location and individual
control at the local sites. 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 8600 Series system can access up to 1024 cameras
located anywhere in the system. By combining multiple
Satellite systems of this type, matrix sizes of 1024
cameras by 16 monitors can be designed in an extremely
reliable, "Distributed Processing" configuration.
