• Remote control from a distance of up to 1500m (490ft).

• Control of multiple units.

• Control of on-board telemetry.

• Jog/Shuttle playback using the joystick.

• Panic alarm button - activates the system panic alarm zone input on the unit.

Video Switchers

Video switchers allow multiple units to be controlled from a single pair of monitors. This allows the

exibility of controlling up to 256 cameras from a single location without having to purchase extra

matrix equipment. The Video Switcher routes the monitors from the unit being controlled to the

operator’s monitors. Up to 16 control positions can have monitor switching.

The example below shows two units controlled from individual control points. The Video Switcher

routes the monitor outputs from the DVR’s to the control points:
