2052 DESCRIPTION and FEATURES
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,
identification of System Tours operating, and the current video
loss status of each camera input (if the system is equipped with
an optional Video Loss Detection module).
Video Loss Detection: When equipped with the optional
Video Loss Detector module, the system can detect the
presence or loss of a video signal for each camera input.
The sync or video signal level at which a loss of video is
detected is user-selectable.
Input Identification: The 2052 system provides on-screen
identification of all video inputs. On-screen identification
includes the current date and time, 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: Eight RS-232 ports on the
2052CPM allow system control inputs via keyboards, alarm
interfaces, computers, or other compatible devices. Each port
can also be configured for printer outputs, and for
upload/download of system setup data. Each port can be
expanded, using the 1981 Port Expander, to provide a total of
32 control connections.
System Control Outputs: A Data Line output port on the
2052CPM transmits switching and control instructions to the
2052 system bays and to other 2052 system control units.
Camera Site Control: The Data Line port 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. The 2091 Code
Generator converts this data to Control Code or RS-232
code for American Dynamics Receivers.
Switcher Follower Action: When equipped with the
optional 2031 Switcher Follower units, the 2052 system can
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 64 users with separate passcodes.
Priority Access: Eight priority levels, assigned to
keyboards and users, permit capture of cameras 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:
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 by the
2052CPM for simplified system setup and programming. The
menu display can be directed to a separate monitor or
connected back to the switching 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 PC-based setup
software package, 2052SW15, is available. 2052 system setup
data can be uploaded and downloaded from a separate
computer via this software. The 2052SW15 software package
provides entry and storage of all system setup information.
