The Virtual Allegiant Satellite Application (VASA) is
Bosch’s strategic product that allows existing Allegiant
customers to transition gradually to pure IP technologies
rather than a total and instantaneous replacement.
VASA reflects the reality that thousands of Allegiant users
are satisfied and very comfortable with their existing
analog-based matrix switcher and associated CCTV
keyboards and monitors. Security strategists also
recognize that when the time comes for camera
expansion, that IP network-based technologies offer
unique benefits, such as simplified cabling: A single CAT-5
cable can carry hundreds of video, audio, pan/tilt/zoom
(PTZ) control, serial ports, alarm inputs and relay outputs
lines.
VASA acts as the integration bridge between an existing
Allegiant and the new digital-based CCTV system (the
‘satellite’) that uses digital video encoders and decoders.
With VASA, the new IP technology is totally transparent to
the existing Allegiant users who continue to use their
IntuiKey CCTV keyboards for switching and PTZ control of
video on classic analog monitors. Finally, VASA replaces
costly dedicated analog video lines and in addition to
remote PTZ functionality, it also supports encoder relay
activations.
VASA supports the Allegiant LTC 8100 through LTC 8900
Series matrix switchers. In addition to PTZ control, VASA
provides auxiliary and preposition control of the IP based
cameras. Because VASA fully integrates the Allegiant with
Bosch video IP products, even remote camera titles
appear on the local Allegiant analog monitors.
VASA improves the Return on Investment (ROI) on existing
capital assets, removes the need for training, and reduces
the risk for adopting new technology by incrementally
adding to the system. The integration is seamless and the
transition is designed to be imperceptible.
