The system also supports live in-window control of pan/
tilt/zoom functions when combined with the video
digitizer card listed below; see Note under PC Platform.
This InWinPTZ feature allows P/T equipped cameras to be
controlled by dragging the mouse pointer in the direction
of the desired movement within the on-screen video
window. When controlling the variable speed AutoDome
Series of cameras, moving the mouse pointer further away
from the center of the window will cause the camera to
move faster.

Note: For LTC 8850 network configurations, Windows NT, 2000, or XP is
required on all workstations. Windows Server is required on the PC at-
tached to the Allegiant if the number of workstations exceeds 10.
Note: For a live video display on the PC monitor, a Windows-compatible
Video Digitizer Card must be used. The FlashBus MV Lite supplied by Inte-
gral Technologies, Inc. may be used. For availability, and for your nearest
distributor, contact Integral Technologies, Inc. at ++1-317-845-9242 or
www.integraltech.com.
Note: Because of resource limitations imposed by Windows 95, 98, or ME
complex site installations (those having approximately 10 site maps or
more) should be configured only on PCs running Windows NT 4.0, 2000,
or XP. Additional RAM memory beyond that specified above is also strong-
ly recommended.
Compatible Systems
The LTC 8850 Series Graphical User Interface (GUI) is compatible with all
current versions of the Allegiant Series Video Switcher/Control systems.
Product Server device drivers for the Allegiant Series switchers, and for
compatible VCRs, are included with the basic GUI package.
Earlier versions of these systems may be upgraded to be compatible by
the installation of current hardware or software upgrades. Contact your
Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Sales Representative or Technical Support
for details.
System Features
Complete Multilevel Map Displays
The system will directly import graphics files from most drawing pack-
ages. Supported file formats include DXF (up to DXF revision 12), HPGL,
BMP, and many other popular graphical file formats. This feature permits
the installer to directly use pre-existing site maps and building drawings,
without the need to recreate new drawings and building plans. Site maps
may easily be linked, to allow the user to move seamlessly from top level
site drawings to individual low level locations, and back again.
Video Switching and Control
The software may be configured to operate with any current Allegiant Ser-
ies Video Switching and Control system. This includes stand-alone sys-
tems as well as Linked or Remote systems interconnected in the Satelli-
teSwitch® mode. All video switching and control functions are performed
via simple on-screen mouse operations.
Operates Using Existing PC Network
Multiple PCs linked together via a computer network can be used to con-
trol an Allegiant system. In a typical application, a single PC or computer
server is connected to the Allegiant system using a standard RS-232 serial
connection. Through this PC, other computer workstations can communi-
cate via the network to control various Allegiant functions, including
switching, PTZ operation, and programming. Each workstation requires
Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, and a registered copy of
the LTC 8850 software package.
Alarm Handling
Powerful alarm handling software permits on-screen call up of site maps,
as well as the display of live inset Alarm Video. Customized guard instruc-
tions may be programmed to display on-screen instructions, which may
be keyed to individual alarms.
Data Logging and Reporting
A record of all major system events may be stored on disk for subsequent
recall and review.
Icon Library
A complete Icon Library is available to the installer to seed graphical rep-
resentations of system functions directly on the map displays.
