INSTALLATION and INTERNAL SETUP

AD1476

INSTALLATION

This installation should be made by qualified service personnel

and should conform to all local codes. Safeguards must be

taken to avoid unintentional operation by employees and

maintenance personnel working about the premises, by falling

objects, by customers, by building vibration, and by similar

causes.

Mounting

Tabletop and rack-mount models are available and may be

mounted in a convenient location near associated monitors.

Tabletop models are 1.88" high and 17" wide. Rack-mount

models are denoted with the suffix "R" and are designed for use

in standard EIA 19" racks and are 1.75" high and 19" wide.

Avoid heat sources or poorly ventilated racks. Operating

temperatures must be held within a reasonable range to ensure

proper operation.

CAUTION - Due to the presence of non-insulated

components with hazardous voltages, the

following internal adjustments should be

performed by qualified service personnel only.

INTERNAL SETUP

Before connection and operation of the SuperQuad HR, internal

jumpers (see Figure 2) may need to be reset for specific user

requirements. These jumpers are factory set for most user

needs, as indicated below and in Figure 2.

Color Filters - Jumpers J4, 27

The SuperQuad does not pass color signals to the Quad output.

In order to use signals from color cameras as inputs to the

SuperQuad, it may be necessary to reduce the color sub-carrier

interference. Internal filters are provided and may be activated

by moving internal jumpers. These filters do not affect color

signals on a full-screen Call output. The factory setting of these

jumpers is "OUT", for black and white cameras.

Jumper J4 reduces the color sub-carrier interference from

Video Inputs 1, 5, 3, and 7; J27 reduces the color sub-carrier

interference from Video Inputs 2, 6, 4, and 8.

Vertical Lock - Jumper J3

The video output of the SuperQuad can be vertically locked to

either the AC line or to Video Input 1. As shipped, it is locked

to the AC line. It can be locked to Video Input 1 by moving the

SYNC jumper (J3) located on the PCB.

Expand Sync - J29

When using certain video cassette recorders, it may be

necessary to place the J29 jumper in the "ZOOM" position for

increased picture stability.

Note: Default positions shown

AD1476

CONNECTIONS

Figure 3 - AD 1476 Rear Panel

CONNECTIONS

All connections are made on the rear panel of the AD1476, shown in

Figure 3 above. Typical connections of the AD 1476 are shown in the

Appendix.

Video Cabling

Use a good grade of 75-ohm coaxial cable such as Belden 8241 or

equivalent with BNC connectors for all video signals.

VCR Input

One BNC connector, labeled VCR IN / EXPAND, is provided for

VCR playback functions. Connect a video cable from the VCR video

output to the BNC connector EXPAND.

Alarm Inputs

The ALARMS connector pins (Alarm pins 1 - 8), located on the rear

panel, are used for the input of alarm signals from user-supplied alarm

devices. Alarm inputs to the ALARMS connector call the

corresponding Video Input to the CALL Monitor output. Alarm inputs

can be set as either closures or opens to ground, through the ALARMS

setup programming, page 11.

Alarm closures to ground must have a resistance of 500 ohms or less;

alarm opens a resistance of 100,000 ohms or more. Twisted pair may

be used for wiring from the alarm devices.

Connect alarm contacts to the ALARMS input pins corresponding to

the camera numbers connected to Video Inputs. The alarm contact

returns should all return to the ground pin (pin 9) of the Alarm

Connector.

Alarm Output Relay

Three rear panel terminals, next to the ALARMS pins, provide access

to Form C relay contacts which are activated during alarms. The

terminal contacts provided are: normally open, normally closed, and

common.

Connect these relay contacts for control of a VCR or other devices.

Contact rating of this relay is: 0.6 Amps @ 120 VAC or 2.0 Amps @

30 VAC.

-232

The SuperQuad HR may be controlled via RS-232 connection from a

keyboard, terminal, or computer. Refer to page 13 for control of the

SuperQuad via this connection.

RS-232 connections are made to the RS-232, 8-pin modular phone

jack on the rear panel. Pinouts are shown below.

Pin Function Pin Function

1 NC 5 RCD

2 GND 6 NC

3 NC 7 GND

4 XMIT 8 NC

NC = No Connection

As viewed from the rear of the SuperQuad, pin 1 is the rightmost

phone jack connector pin.

The SuperQuad is configured as RS-232 DTE equipment. The

communication parameters for the SuperQuad are: 8-bit data word, no

parity, 1 stop bit, and 1200 Baud. The SuperQuad does not transmit

any information back to the controlling machine, thus only a two-wire

serial connection is required. Connect the transmit wire of the RS-232

source to pin 5, RCD, of the SuperQuad modular jack. Connect the

ground of the RS-232 source to pin 2, GND, of the SuperQuad

modular jack.

Using 18 AWG, shielded, computer-grade cable, direct connections

can be made over distances of 1000 feet (330 m) or less. Beyond that

distance, links using asynchronous line drivers, short-haul modems, or

dial-up modems must be used.

For connecting an AD1475RT keyboard to the SuperQuad, the

keyboard is supplied with appropriate cables for plug-in to this

modular phone jack. Refer to the AD1475RT Installation Manual for

further information on keyboard connections. A typical connection of

the 1475RT is shown in the Appendix.

Power

The operating voltage is shown on the rear panel. Connect the

appended 3-wire cord to the required power source.

• AD1476 models require 120V, 60 Hz

• AD1476X models require 230V, 50 Hz

• 120V, 50 Hz and 230V, 60 Hz combinations are available

CONNECTIONS

AD1476

Video Inputs

Four pairs of BNC connectors (1-5, 3-7, 2-6, 4-8), located on the rear

panel, are used for video inputs to the SuperQuad (see Figure 3, page

3). All video inputs must be RS-170 standard, 2:1 interlaced,

composite video signals.

The camera video connected to a particular BNC is automatically

assigned to the corresponding on-screen camera number. That is, a

camera connected to BNC 1 is automatically assigned to the on-screen

camera number 1, a camera connected to BNC 2 is automatically

assigned to the on-screen camera number 2, etc.

Each pair of BNC connectors is associated with one quadrant of the

Quad format display, as indicated by the legend above each slide

switch. Camera 1 or 5 is displayed in the upper left quadrant, camera 2

or 6 is displayed in the upper right quadrant, etc. Refer to Figure 4

below for illustration of the Quad formats.

Four video inputs make up one Quad display. Video Inputs 1 thru 4

are displayed in Quad A; video inputs 5 thru 8 are displayed in Quad

B. Refer to Figure 4.

Four 3-position slide switches located on the rear panel, one under

each pair of BNC connectors, configure the input termination of each

pair in one of three ways: LOOP 75, DUO, or Loop HiZ.

•LOOP 75 - Internally loops the video from the lower numbered BNC

to the higher-numbered BNC of the pair. The lower-number input

BNC is terminated in 75 ohms. The higher-number BNC must not be

used.

QUAD A

QUAD B

Figure 4 - Quad A and Quad B Formats

Typical configurations of video inputs using these connections

are shown in the Appendix.

Figure 5 - LOOP 75

DUO - Separates each input BNC pair, terminates each input in 75

ohms, and makes them independent video inputs. Both BNCs of the

pair may be used as separate inputs.

Figure 6 - DUO

• LOOP HiZ - Same as LOOP '75, except the lower-number BNC

is unterminated (HiZ). The higher-number BNC must be looped to a

properly terminated external video device.

Figure 7 - LOOP HiZ

Each input pair of connectors may be set for a different termination.

Any combination of the above settings is valid on ;she four pairs of

inputs as long as each input is properly terminated

AD1476

CONNECTIONS

Video Outputs

Two Video Out BNCs, labeled CALL and QUAD, are used for video

outputs to monitors, VCRs, etc. Each output must be terminated in 75

ohms at the end of the cable run.

The SuperQuad HR can be used with one or two monitors. If only one

monitor is used, connect it to the CALL output; this

permits the display of either the camera sequences or the Quad

display. If two monitors are used, connect one to the CALL output,

which can be used as a sequence monitor, and one to the QUAD

output, which always presents the Quad format.

The output configurations of varied camera connections are described

below. Typical configurations of monitors and VCRs using these

connections are illustrated in the Appendix.

4-Camera Configuration

In a four camera configuration, cameras 1 through 4 are displayed as

Quad A; Quad B is not displayed. The layout of the Quad A display

on the QUAD monitor and the sequence of displays on the CALL

monitor are illustrated in Figure 8.

Figure 8 - 4 -Camera Displays

1. Connect up to four video sources to inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4.

2. Set the slide switches on the rear panel to the LOOP 75

position if the signals are terminated at the SuperQuad.

3. Set the slide switch to the LOOP HiZ if the signal is looped to

another video device (Ensure that the last element on the looping

chain is terminated in 75 ohms.)

5- to 7-Camera Configuration

If less than eight video sources are used and you do not wish to have a

blank screen in one of the Quads, or you wish to see one or more

high-priority cameras continuously, the following configuration can

be used.

Cameras 1 through 4 are displayed in Quad A. If available, cameras 5

through 8 are displayed in Quad B. Note that the camera(s) without

paired inputs continuously displays in its associated quadrant. Figure 9

illustrates one example of this display. With no camera connected to

Input 5, camera #1 is

No INPUT#5 - CAMERA#1 in

both QUAD A and QUAD B

Figure 9 - 5 to 7 Camera Displays

1. Connect four video sources to BNC I thru 4 and the

remaining sources to any of the other video inputs.

2. Where two video inputs are associated with a BNC pair, set

the slide switch to the DUO position.

3. Where there is one video input associated with a pair, set the slide

switch to the Loop 75 position. The video inputs with the slide

switch in the Loop 75 position will appear on both Quads A and B

and will not sequence, but their titles will change from Quad page

A to page B.

8-Camera Configuration

In an eight camera configuration, cameras I thru 4 are displayed in

Quad A and cameras 5 through 8 are displayed in Quad B. Figure 10

shows the CALL and QUAD output display sequences.

AD1476

GENERAL OPERATION

OPERATION with 1- 4 Cameras

The SuperQuad HR system can be used with one or two monitors. If

only one monitor is used, it should be connected to the CALL Monitor

output.

The CALL Monitor displays either:

• A Call Sequence, defined at setup (page 10), of full-screen

camera pictures with or without the defined Quad Display.

• An operator-selected, full-screen picture of any camera or

the defined Quad Display.

The QUAD Monitor always displays the defined Quad display.

SUPERQUAD OPERATION - 8 Cameras

Eight camera operation is identical to the four camera operation,

except:

• The Quad Display is defined at setup (page 10) as a

DuoQuad sequence of Quad A and Quad B.

• Cameras 1 thru 4 are displayed in Quad A.

• Cameras 5 thru 8 are displayed in Quad B.

VIDEO LOSS DETECTION

Loss of video at any input is automatically detected by the SuperQuad.

A blinking "VIDEO LOSS" message is displayed in the appropriate

quadrant of the Quad display, and the corresponding quadrant is

blanked. The last picture received before the loss of video is stored in

memory and may be retrieved by pressing the "FREEZE" pushbutton.

ALARM HANDLING

When alarm handling is enabled, the ALARMS pushbutton is

illuminated and the `*' character appears in the bottom center of both

the Call and Quad displays.

When one or more cameras are alarmed:

• The Alarm pushbutton blinks whether or not alarm handling

is enabled.

• The Alarm cameras are identified on the screen by an "A".

• The QUAD Monitor displays either the programmed Quad Display

or a Quad frozen at the first alarm (the frozen Quad is identified on

screen with the message "FROZEN".

Figure 13 - One or More Cameras Alarmed

• The CALL Monitor displays either a full-screen picture of the

alarmed camera, or a sequence of multiple alarmed cameras. Alarm

dwell time is fixed at two seconds. The programmed Quad display

or frozen Quad may be set up to sequence with these full-screen

pictures of alarmed cameras.

Alarm clearance can be set up as one of the following (see ALARMS

setup programming, page 11):

• Instant (I): Clears the alarm when the alarm input clears.

• Delay (D): Holds alarm for 20 seconds after the alarm input clears.

The Acknowledge button does not override or shorten the 20-second

delay.

• Acknowledge (A): Holds the alarm until it is acknowledged by

pressing the ALARMS pushbutton. If more than one alarm is

present, or the Quad display is included in the alarm sequence, the

ALARMS button must be pressed while the alarmed camera to be

cleared is being displayed on the CALL Monitor in the alarm

sequence. This allows the selective clearance of individual alarms as

they are being examined.

When alarms are cleared, the system returns to the operating mode

prior to the alarm. The ALARMS pushbutton flashes to indicate the

presence of an alarm whether or not alarms are enabled.

REMOTE CONTROL

One or more SuperQuads may be controlled via RS-232 lines from an

AD1475RT keyboard, terminal, or computer using standard,

uppercase ASCII codes. The ASCII command codes for the

SuperQuad functions are listed in the table below.

Function ASCII Code

Connect/Login to SuperQuad(s) L ID#

Disconnect L A

CALL Camera 1 K 1

CALL Camera 2 K 2

CALL Camera 3 K 3

CALL Camera 4 K 4

CALL Camera 5 K 5

CALL Camera 6 K 6

CALL Camera 7 K 7

CALL Camera 8 K 8

CALL Quad A* K A

CALL Quad B K B

ALTERNATE Quad Pages (A/B) ** K Q

RUN K R

HOLD K H

FREEZE K F

UNFREEZE K U

ENABLE ALARMS K L

DISABLE ALARMS K D

ACKNOWLEDGE ALARMS K C

EXPAND K X

EXIT EXPAND K E

* Or the Programmed Quad Display **

If set for Manual Mode

Each command code sent to the SuperQuad is a 2-character pair, with

no spaces between the characters. For example, the command to

switch to camera 3 is "K3" and the command to enter Expand mode is

"KX".

UNIT IDENTIFICATION (ID#)

For remote control, each SuperQuad is programmed with a Unit

Identification number from 0 to 9 (0 to 8 when used with the

AD1475RT Remote Control Unit). As delivered, the SuperQuad Unit

ID is set to 0, which is the global response mode. The global response

mode allows the SuperQuad to respond to command codes sent to any

Unit ID on the RS-232 line. The Unit ID of the SuperQuad can be

changed by Setup Mode Security Options menu, page 9.

The Unit ID number transmitted in the connect code (L ID#) directs

the specified SuperQuad to respond to all subsequent command codes

until a disconnect code is received. When the Unit ID transmitted in

the connect code is 0 (i.e., LO), all SuperQuads on the RS-232 line

respond to subsequent command codes until a disconnect is received.

KEYBOARD CONTROL

The AD1475RT keyboard can control one or more SuperQuads via the

RS-232 interface. Dedicated buttons are provided on the keyboard for

all SuperQuad functions except the Setup Mode menus. These menus

can be accessed only from the SuperQuad front panel. Refer to the

AD1475RT Installation Manual for specific information on the use of

this keyboard to identify and control the SuperQuad.

COMPUTER LOGIN and CONTROL

When connected to a terminal or computer, the controlling system

must first connect/login to the SuperQuad. There are two methods

provided: individual unit or broadcast login.

Prior to login, set the SuperQuad Unit ID using the Security Options

menu in Setup Mode, page 9. (As shipped, the Unit ID is set to 0.) For

individual SuperQuad control, each unit on the RS-232 line should be

set to a unique Unit ID.

For individual unit login:

This method directs command codes to a specified SuperQuad, and to

any SuperQuad set to a Unit ID of 0 (global response).

1. To login for individual unit control, first send an ASCII "L"

immediately followed by an ASCII Unit ID number.

For example, assume the Unit B) is set to 4; to connect to this unit,

send the login code "L4".

2. At this point, the user or program can send any pair of "K"

command codes desired.

3. To stop sending commands to the specific unit, log out by

sending the code "LA".

For broadcast login:

This method allows the user to control a single SuperQuad without

knowing its Unit ID, or to control all SuperQuads on the RS-232 line.

1. To login for broadcast control of one or more SuperQuads,

first send an ASCII "LO".

2. At this point, the user or program can send any pair of "K"

command codes desired.

For example, to send a broadcast message for all SuperQuads to

switch to Camera 1, the ASCII character sequence would be

"LOKI".

3. To stop sending commands in the broadcast mode, log out

by sending the code "LA".
