System operation and programming is accomplished using
a full-function, ergonomically designed keyboard. Up to 32
keyboards may be used in the system. Built-in operator
priority levels and the ability to restrict certain operators
from controlling designated functions provide maximum
flexibility.
Programming/Software Capabilities
The LTC 8800 Series include 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, or 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 8800 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 the 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 8800 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 8800 Series can serve as the master switcher in a
SatelliteSwitch configuration. This innovative
SatelliteSwitch feature enables a single LTC 8800 system
to communicate with remotely located “Satellite”
systems. Any Allegiant system model can serve as a
remote Satellite switcher. This powerful feature permits
the design of a large distributed type 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 8800
system can access up to 2048 cameras located anywhere
in the system.
