These Allegiant video switcher/control systems combine both switching and com-
puter technology to provide powerful performance and unique system features for
the security user. Offering full matrix switching capability, these systems can be
programmed to display the video from any camera on any monitor, either manually
or via independent automatic switching sequences.
The LTC 8600 Series Allegiant system can handle up to 128 cameras and 16 moni-
tors in a full crosspoint configuration. It can also accommodate 512 alarm points,
up to 16 keyboards, a computer system console port, and a logging printer port.
The LTC 8800 Series Allegiant system can handle up to 256 cameras and 64 moni-
tors in a full crosspoint configuration. It can also accommodate 1024 alarm points,
up to 32 keyboards, a computer system console port, and a logging printer port.
These systems can be programmed with up to 60 sequences that can be run inde-
pendently of each other, in either a forward or reverse direction. Any of the
sequences can utilize the SalvoSwitching capability where any number of system
monitors may be selected to switch as a synchronized group. Using the optional LTC
8059/00 Master Control Software (MCS) package or the LTC 8850/00 Bosch Graph-
ical User Interface (GUI), sequences can be made to activate and deactivate auto-
matically, based upon the time of day and the day of week.
The series supports variable speed control and full programming functions of Aut-
®
oDome Series dome cameras. In addition, support for on-site receiver/driver units
provide operators with control of pan, tilt, zoom, multiple pre-positions, four (4)
auxiliaries, autopan, and random scan using conventional camera/lens/housings.
With the addition of an external LTC 8540/00 Alarm Interface unit, an external con-
tact closure or logic level can be used to automatically display any camera. Any mon-
itor or group of monitors can be set to display cameras under alarm conditions. The
base system contains three (3) built-in alarm response modes: basic, auto-build,
and sequence and display. In addition to these three (3) modes, the PC based soft-
ware packages offer the ability to combine any or all three (3) standard modes.
Alarm video may be selected to reset either manually or automatically. In addition, a
16-character alarm title can be selected to appear instead of the camera title during
alarm conditions.
System operation and programming is accomplished using a full-function, ergonom-
ically designed keyboard. Multiple keyboards may be used in the system. Built-in
operator priority levels and the ability to restrict certain operators from controlling
designated functions provide maximum flexibility.
These systems include a 48-character on-screen display for time-date, camera num-
ber, camera ID (16 characters), and monitor (12 characters) or status information. A
user selectable option provides the ability to display a 3rd line of on-screen text.
This 3rd line can be configured to display up to 24 additional camera title charac-
ters (40 characters total) or a 12-character monitor title.
The on-screen display is also user selectable to operate in "6-digit Camera ID"
mode. When enabled, 2-digit "site numbers" are displayed in addition to the 4-digit
camera number. The 2-digit site number feature is especially useful when groups of
cameras are located in separate buildings, floors, or other common areas.
When programming camera ID and monitor titles, over 1000 different characters
are available.
Enhanced programming and switching features can be obtained by utilizing a stan-
®
dard Windows equipped PC and the optional LTC 8059/00 MCS package or the LTC
8850/00 GUI Software. A user friendly spreadsheet format provides the ability to
enter camera titles, enter operator names, schedule up to 64 timed events, change
