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
Figure 3 - AD 1476 Rear Panel
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.
RS
-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
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
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.

GENERAL OPERATION
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
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".
