System Status Display: The current camera-to-monitor
switching assignments can be displayed by operator request.
This display includes the current status of each monitor, and
identification of System Tours currently operating.
Input Identification: The AD1650B provides on-screen
identification of all video inputs. On-screen identification
includes the current time and date, the camera input number,
input status, and a programmable 16-character camera title.
User-Assigned Camera Numbers: Any camera input can
be assigned a user-defined (Pseudo) camera number to suit
individual installation needs.
Selectable Date/Time Display: The system's date format
can be programmed as MM-DD-YY, DD-MM-YY, or
YY-MM-DD. Time is displayed in a 24-hour format.
Status Line: The on-screen Status Line shows current
information (alarms, dwell times, etc.) about the camera
being viewed. A list of the different Status Line displays is
provided in the Appendix, page A-8.
External Control Inputs: Four RS-232 ports and eight two-
wire ports on the AD1650B allow system control via
keyboards, computers, or other devices. Each RS-232 port can
also be configured for printer alarm outputs, and for
upload/download of system setup data. Each RS-232 port can
be expanded, using the AD1981 Port Expander, to provide a
total of 16 RS-232 control connections.
System Control Outputs: Control Code outputs are provided
by the AD1650B to transmit switching and control instructions
to other matrix system control units.
Camera Site Control: The AD1650B Control Code output
provides control information for camera site Receivers for
control of fixed or variable speed pan/tilts, motorized lens,
auxiliaries, and stored presets at suitably equipped sites.
Optional AD1691 Code Distributors and AD1683 Code
Modems can be used to provide Control Code information
over long distances or to multiple site locations.
Switcher Follower Action: When equipped with the
optional AD2031 Switcher Follower units, the system can
be used to switch audio circuits, activate graphic display
boards, etc., for assistance in system control.
System Security: Several security measures are provided to
restrict user access to the system and access to specific
resources of the system.
Passcode Log On/Log Off : Operator passcode entry is
provided to allow only authorized personnel to operate the
system. Once passcode entry is enabled, the user must have
a user number and a 6-digit passcode to gain control of the
system through a keyboard. The passcode entry system
allows a maximum of 48 users with separate passcodes.
Priority Access: Eight priority levels, assigned to
keyboards and users, permit capture of cameras (pan, tilt,
and lens control) by higher priority users and lockout of
lower priority users. Each priority level is programmable
for specific access restrictions.
Partitioning: Programmable partitioning is provided for
restricting access to specific system resources.
Keyboard/Monitor Access: Prevents selected
keyboards from accessing selected monitors.
Monitor/Camera Access: Prevents selected monitors
from displaying video from selected cameras.
Keyboard/Camera View Access: Prevents selected
keyboards from calling up selected cameras for viewing.
Keyboard/Camera Control Access: Prevents selected
keyboards from controlling functions on selected
cameras (e.g., Pan/Tilt/Lens/Auxiliaries).
Menu-Driven Setup: On-screen menus are provided for
simplified AD1650B system setup and programming. The
AD1650B menu display can be directed to a separate monitor
or connected back to the system for display on any system
monitor.
Memory Retention: User-programmed data is stored in
memory and is battery-backed for a minimum of five years.
The data stored includes date/time, input identification, system
tours, system salvos, event timers, port configurations, system
partitioning, and alarm programming information.
PC System Setup Software: An optional software package,
AD1650SW11B, is available for a personal computer (PC).
AD1650B system setup data can be uploaded and downloaded
from a PC using this software. This software package provides
menu programming and storage of all AD1650B system setup
information.
