Macro Capabilities
The LTC 8500 system provides powerful macro
capabilities. The macros can be activated using
Allegiant system keyboards, system time event
functions, alarm activations, and via special function
icons in the LTC 8850/00 GUI software.
Alarm Capabilities
With the addition of the LTC 8540/00 Series alarm
interface accessory unit, an external contact closure or
logic level can be used to automatically activate any
camera to be displayed. Any monitor or group of
monitors can be set to display cameras under alarm
conditions. The base system contains three built-in
alarm response modes: basic, auto-build, and
sequence and display. In addition to these three
modes, the PC based software packages now includes
the ability to combine any or all three standard modes
within the same system. Alarm video may be selected
to reset either manually or automatically. In addition, a
16-character alarm title can be selected to appear
instead of the camera title during alarm conditions.
System Operation
System operation and programming is accomplished
using a full-function, ergonomically designed keyboard.
Up to 8 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 8500 Series includes a 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.
Over 250 characters are available when programming
camera ID and monitor titles.
Utilizing a Windows-based PC and the LTC 8059/00
Master Control Software package or LTC 8850/00
Graphical User Interface (GUI) software, enhanced
programming and switching features can be obtained.
A user-friendly spreadsheet format provides the ability
to enter camera titles, operator names, 64 timed
events, change system parameters, program camera
sequences, install lockouts, and access the advanced
alarm handling screens with speed and efficiency. The
program 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 8850/00 Bosch GUI software is designed
around an intuitive graphic-based interface; the GUI
provides high performance programming, control and
monitoring of all system functions by using on-screen
icons to reflect real time status of the devices
controlled by the system.
The LTC 8850/00 GUI software also provides the
ability to monitor system status events. System
alarms, switching functions, sequence events,
keyboard actions, and video loss information can be
viewed in real time on the PC screen and, if desired,
logged to the PC hard drive.
The LTC 8500 Series contains a logging printer output
port which accepts a standard RS-232 serial printer.
This provides a permanent record of system status
showing 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, and a power up reset message.
In addition, the printer can be used to obtain a hard
copy of the system's configuration tables and
sequences.
Expansion Capabilities
The LTC 8500 Series can serve as the Master switcher
in a SatelliteSwitch configuration. This innovative
SatelliteSwitch feature enables a single LTC 8500
Series system to communicate with up to 64 remotely
located "Satellite" systems. Any Allegiant system
model can serve as a remote Satellite switcher. This
powerful feature permits the design of a distributed
type system. 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 8500 Series system can access up to 256
cameras located anywhere in the system.
