These 3 matrix switchers can be used as comprehensive video switching units as well as Central Processing Units for the fast dome system. They provide complex alarm management and system control in a simple and intelligent way, enabling straightforward control an operation.

Each unit indicates time and date, camera title and alarm activation on any of the required outputs, with on-screen menus making light work of system programming. An event log records any alarm or video loss and access to programming can be restricted by password.

Each alarm input can be configured as NO or NC and can be programmed to send any dome to any preset position, in addition to any local alarms. Alarmed cameras are selected to pre-determined monitors with visual and audiable indication, an alarm output is provided and can also be set as NO or NC.

Sequence tables determine which cameras can be selected on each monitor, with individual dwell times for each camera. Monitors are programmed to operate 1 of the 16 sequence talbes, limiting access to certain cameras where required.

Up to 8 keyboards (PIH-800II) can be connected to the matrix, wired in a daisy chain with the one nearest the matrix having priority. This provide independent control of monitor outputs and domes but prevents conflict, where an keyboard is controlling a dome no other operator can take-over until the current operator releases control or a fourminute period of inactivity had passed.
