System Structure; Keyboards; Mimic Panels, Discontinued - Honeywell MAXPRO-Net Commissioning Manual

1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION, CONTINUED
VideoBlox Hardware is also supported by MAXPRO-Net. Refer to the VideoBlox section
in this manual for more details.
The MAXPRO-Net system can be structured and programmed to meet virtually any
crosspoint matrix video switching design specification.
1.2

SYSTEM STRUCTURE

As mentioned previously, the MAXPRO-Net system is structured as a matrix video
switching system, integrated with external alarm inputs and auxiliary control outputs.
1.2.1

Keyboards

A single MAXPRO-Net matrix video system can accommodate up to ninety-nine (99)
keyboards. They can all operate the system at the same time and yet be totally
independent of each other.
Keyboards can be thought of as devices that provide the operator with a well-organized
environment to work in. All possible functions available for use in a matrix video system
can be accessed from the keyboards, through the keys. Cameras, monitors, VCRs and
pan/tilts (PTZs) are just some of the function keys on a keyboard.
An operator to whom access is permitted can, with the correct key press, control the
allowable system devices. Keys can be reprogrammed to incorporate other functions as
well as their own designated functions; or the key could be reprogrammed to perform an
entirely different function.
The reprogramming of the keyboard keys is accomplished with the use of the 'Intercept
Keyboard Keys' sub-menu in the MAXPRO-Net configuration editor, SETMAX (see
Chapter 6, System Commissioning).
1.2.2

Mimic Panels, Discontinued

Mimic panels were available as part of a MAX1000 system. These hardware panels are
no longer available with the MAXPRO-Net hardware. However, the MAXPRO-Net
configurator supports configuring these panels in systems where the software is being
upgraded.
