Zone mode

A zone is a remote switching device (multiplexer or DVMRe) that serves a group of cameras. A system can be
divided into as many as 32 independent zones, and each zone can have from 1 to 64 cameras (average Zone
size is 32, only Matrix switcher supports 64 and is less commonly used) depending on the type of controlling
device. In addition, up to 250 zones can be controlled if all units from 33 to the maximum can use exactly the
same setup parameters as unit 32.
The outputs from the zone's switching device connect to dedicated monitors directly. Each zone is assigned a
device type (multiplexer or DVMRe) and a size (1 to 32 cameras) and can be assigned a 15-character name.
To call up a camera in a zone, you must know the
zone number and the camera number (Figure 4).
Refer to Receiver site addressing on page 65.
