CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW 1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION MAXPRO-Net combines custom designed software with a high performing Windows 2003 Server resulting in Honeywell's Turn Key Centralized Management Console Server. MAXPRO-Net is designed for system configuration, system management and system monitoring of Honeywell's crosspoint matrix video switchers. Using a system keyboard, an operator can select various cameras for display on the available video display monitors.
1.2 SYSTEM KEYBOARDS The system keyboard, along with text message information (available via the video display monitors), is used by the operator to control the MAXPRO-Net Crosspoint Matrix Video Switcher. Depending on the size of the video system, there could be up to thirty-two (32) keyboards connected to the system. They can all operate the system at the same time and still be totally independent of each other. There are two types of keyboard available. 1. The HEGS5300 enhanced keyboard. 2.
1.5 CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL During the course of this manual, icons and examples are used, wherever possible, to help illustrate certain points. 1.5.1 Keystrokes Actual keys, used on the keyboard to perform certain functions, will be represented in our examples, by icons of the respective keys. 1.6.2 • for example, • or .. represents the '0' key, .. represents the 'Alarm Clear' key. Numerical Range The video system consists of numerous video input and output channels.
1.6.4 Monitor messages Every monitor can display, in its text message window, the current time/date, camera description and operator name. These parameters would be defined during the setting up of the system's configuration. In addition to these, other messages that report alarm conditions or system status will also be displayed. These special messages will also appear in the text message window, usually above the normal text messages mentioned earlier.
CHAPTER 2: GETTING STARTED 2.1 ENTERING YOUR SELECTION NUMBERS HOW AND WHY? For nearly all keyboard operations discussed in this manual, an associated numeric entry must be made. For example, when selecting a camera or setting the dwell for a scan sequence. The required number is typed in, using the SELECTION PAD on the keyboard. When the number entered is shorter in length than expected (that is, less digits than expected), then the key must be pressed to indicate that the number entered is complete.

CHAPTER 3: USING SCAN SEQUENCES 3.1 WHAT IS A SCAN SEQUENCE? A Scan Sequence is a list of camera selections. This camera list, or scan sequence, is used to automatically display every camera in the sequence on a specific monitor. Each camera selection will remain displayed for a specified duration defined by the 'Dwell Time' setting of each scan sequence. When the scan sequence reaches its end, it wraps back around and starts again, creating an endless sequence of pre-defined camera selections.
3.2 STARTING A SCAN SEQUENCE Firstly, a monitor must be selected. Press the key, followed by the scan sequence number required. Valid scan sequence numbers are (01 Ù 99). • for example, starts it running. • or .. selects scan sequence 21 and .. selects scan sequence 5 and starts it running. The key is required because the valid range is (01 Ù 99). The monitor will now be displaying cameras from the scan sequence list. The following message would be briefly displayed.
3.3 HALTING A SCAN SEQUENCE To halt a scan sequence, the operator must have selected the monitor running that scan sequence. When the key is pressed, the message: will be displayed. The last camera selection made by the scan sequence will remain displayed on the monitor. To restart a previously halted scan sequence, press the key followed by the key. A number is not required. • for example, this monitor. ..
3.4 PAUSING A SCAN SEQUENCE Sometimes, it is necessary to temporarily pause the scan sequence. This allows you to manually step forwards and backwards through the scan sequence. To pause a scan sequence, you must already be selecting a monitor that is running the desired scan sequence. Press the key. This message will be displayed: The current camera selection made by the scan sequence will remain displayed on the monitor.
3.5 MAKING A NEW SCAN SEQUENCE , Access denied to some operators To make a new scan sequence, a monitor must first be selected. Select the NEW scan sequence. • for example, starts it scanning. Press the The message .. selects scan sequence 20, and key to first pause the scan sequence. Now, press the key. will be displayed briefly. You are now in 'SET SCAN' mode.
3.5 MAKING A NEW SCAN SEQUENCE, CONTINUED Before the next camera can be selected, we have to make room in the sequence list. Press the key to insert a new entry into the scan sequence. Press to this NEW ENTRY. to move Now the next camera for this sequence can be selected. • for example, the second camera in scan sequence 20. .. selects camera number 12 as The entire procedure can be summarized as follows: • .. selects scan sequence 20, and starts it scanning. • pauses scan sequence 20.
3.5 MAKING A NEW SCAN SEQUENCE, CONTINUED • creates another new entry for scan sequence 20. • moves you to the third entry of scan sequence 20. • .. selects camera number 29 as the third entry of scan sequence 20. By now, the following cameras are present in scan sequence 20: Entry position in Scan Sequence 1 2 3 Camera No. 2 12 29 Table 3.1: Entry Positions In Scan Sequence 20 Continue until all the desired cameras in the scan sequence have been entered.
3.6 EDITING A SCAN SEQUENCE , Access denied to some operators To edit a scan sequence it is necessary for the desired sequence to be selected to the operator's monitor. for example, .. selects scan sequence 20, and starts it scanning. Press the key to pause the scan sequence. Now, press the key. The message: will be displayed. The 'SET SCAN' mode is now enabled and the operator can begin to edit the scan sequence. Use the entry list.
3.6.1 Overwrite With A New Camera Selection, Continued Simply use the following keys: or keys to move to the second entry position, and press the • selects camera number 25 as the second entry in scan sequence 20. Camera number 12 is now overwritten by the camera number 25. Entry position in Scan Sequence 1 2 3 4 5 Camera No. 2 25 29 14 17 Table 3.3: Entry Positions In Scan Sequence 20 After Overwriting. 3.6.
3.6.3 Insert A New Camera Selection Pressing the key will insert a new selection entry into the scan sequence at the current entry position. All entries following this position will be shifted up once, to make room. The following 3 tables illustrate what happens when camera number 10 is inserted into entry position (3) of the scan sequence. Use the or keys to move to the third entry position of the scan sequence. Entry position in Scan Sequence 1 2 3 4 5 Camera No.

CHAPTER 4: USING MACROS 4.1 WHAT IS A MACRO? A MACRO is a stored recording of a series of keystrokes made by an operator on a keyboard. This recording can be PLAYED BACK by the operator whenever required. It will mimic the operator by automatically making those same keystroke actions again. Macros can be used to automate the system in three ways; 4.1.
4.1.3 Automated Control The MAXPRO-Net Crosspoint Maxtrix Video Switching System can be configured to control a variety of equipment other than cameras and monitors. The keyboard actions used to manually control this auxiliary equipment can also be recorded in a macro for later play back for automated control of the system. Selecting cameras to video recorders, activating record, turning lighting on, or opening door latches and boom gates could all be included in one automated control macro.
4.2 EXECUTING A MACRO, CONTINUED Although a macro can be executed by any operator from any keyboard, it can only be executed by one person at a time. If the following message; is displayed, then you must wait until the operator using that macro is finished. NOTE: If a macro sequence is executed without having a monitor selected, no messages will be displayed. 4.3 MAKE A NEW MACRO , Access denied to some operators Press the key followed by the key. The prompt: will be displayed.
4.3 MAKE A NEW MACRO, CONTINUED The system will now begin recording operator keyboard actions.

The message prompt; will then be displayed briefly. Your macro is now deleted. It is ready to be defined again. 4.4 CAN I EDIT A MACRO? NO.
NOTES: Rev.
CHAPTER 5: MANAGING ALARMS 5.1 WHAT ARE ALARMS? ALARMS are usually external inputs to the crosspoint matrix video switching system. These inputs are watched continuously by the equipment. If a change in alarm state occurs on an alarm input, the system operators can be prompted immediately and automatic selection of cameras and VCRs, and so on, can also occur. The automatic action taken for any given alarm input is programmed at commissioning and therefore cannot be changed by an operator.
5.2 EXTERNAL ALARM INPUTS External alarm inputs are usually hard wired into the subrack equipment. They include perimeter security alarms, PIR movement detectors, intercom alarms, door state alarms, and so on. External alarms are sometimes monitored by a separate security system and communicated back to the MAXPRO-Net system for action. 5.3 CAMERA FAIL ALARMS In some video systems, the cameras are automatically monitored to check for camera malfunction and/or cut-cabling, and so on.
5.5 PTZ SITE TAMPER ALARMS To protect a camera PTZ site from unauthorized access, the tamper alarm input would be used. A tamper alarm is LATCHING, so once activated, it can only be cleared from the keyboard by an operator. 5.6 VCR ALARMS VCR alarms are commonly used to detect END OF TAPE or NO RECORD status conditions and report these to the operator. The VCR alarm would be cleared automatically by rectifying the reported condition. VCR alarms can also be cleared from a keyboard. 5.
5.9 STEPPING THROUGH THE ALARM STACK CAUTION: You must currently be selecting the monitor that is displaying the flashing alarm messages. On the HEGS5300 enhanced keyboard, pressing the key will manually force the alarm stack to cycle to the next active alarm. Immediately, the next alarm will be displayed on the monitor. The alarm stack will still automatically cycle after the usual pause period. 5.

The FLASHBACK feature allows two separate targets to be followed using the one high-speed dome camera.
6.5 HIDING DISPLAYED TEXT The displayed monitor text is used to identify the selected camera, present current time/date and other prompt messages. Sometimes, it is required that the displayed text be turned-off (or hidden) allowing the total picture area to be viewed. To hide the displayed text, the following must first be true. • You must currently have a monitor selected Press the key to remove the text from the monitor. You can manually control the selected PTZ camera as required.
6.7 REVEALING SMARTEXT, CONTINUED By selecting another camera or moving to another monitor, the normal monitor text display will be restored and the SMARTEXT information will again be concealed. CAUTION: SMARTEXT is only available on specific video systems that are designed to support this feature. Rev.
CHAPTER 7: THE TEXT CHANNEL MENU SYSTEM 7.1 WHAT IS THE TEXT CHANNEL MENU SYSTEM? The MAXPRO-Net generates the Menu system using the Text Lines displayed on the Monitor, which enables the Operator to perform Sign in, Sign Off, Change PIN operations.

CHAPTER 9: SYSTEM FEATURES 9.1 REAL TIME CLOCK (RTC) The Real Time Clock is the current time and date. It changes every second, even while the system is turned off. The real time clock is used to display current time/date text on the monitors. The text insertion display format for the time/date is: DD/MMM/YY hh:mm.sec: for example, 31/Jan/96 23:59.01 WARNING: Not all MAXPRO-Net systems will display seconds as seconds are only supported when ENHANCED and SMARTEXT text modules are used. 9.
9.2.1 Post-Text Post text inserters are used to identify the currently selected camera and display time/date, current operator name and other system information onto the monitor. 9.2.2 Pre-text Pre-text inserters are sometimes used when cameras need to be recorded onto a dedicated video recorder. They provide identification of that camera as well as the current time/date display. Pre-text would not usually be used in the system. 9.
9.6 MONITOR ACCESS To structure the control of a large video switching system (that is, a system with several monitors physically located at different control locations) it is necessary to restrict the control access that each keyboard can have over the available monitors. Each keyboard has it's own identification number (1 Ù 32). The keyboard ID numbers are allocated to each monitor during commissioning. Only the allocated keyboards are allowed to access and select cameras on that monitor.
9.8 PRIORITIZING OPERATORS As the system can be controlled by more than one keyboard at the same time, it is sometimes possible to have a situation where a conflict of monitor access and PTZ camera control arises. The MAXPRO-Net system handles such conflicts by prioritizing all system operators. There are a hundred (0 Ù 99) possible operator priority codes. With the exception of priority code (0), the level of priority relates directly to numerical code assigned (that is, 1= highest, 99= lowest).
9.9 KEYBOARD TIME-OUT If a keyboard is left selecting a monitor and the operator does not operate the keyboard for the pre-defined time-out period, then the keyboard will be de-selected from that monitor. (The monitor can now be accessed by other keyboards). The following message will be displayed: Camera selections are now ignored until another monitor is selected. CAUTION: The operator is still signed-ON to the keyboard. 9.
9.11.2 Low level video Even though the camera's video signal if NOT lost, the camera scene is electronically monitored. If the video picture should go completely black for several seconds, then a 'LOW-LEVEL VIDEO' alarm is generated identifying that camera. Area lighting being turned OFF, the lens of the camera being covered, or the lens iris being completely closed could cause this alarm. Rev.
CHAPTER 10: TROUBLESHOOTING 10.1 SELECTING A CAMERA 1. Check that you have first selected a monitor for use. The keyboard identity or your operator name should be displayed in the text on the monitor you are currently selecting. 2. Are you using the correct number of digits for the camera selection number? Try using the key to complete your camera selection number. 3. In case your number entry is offset by a digit or two, try pressing the again to begin a new camera selection number. key 4.
