Video Switchers
Video switchers allow multiple Digital Sprites to be controlled from a single pair
of monitors. This allows the flexibility of controlling up to 256 cameras from a
single location without having to purchase extra matrix equipment. The Video
Switcher routes the monitors from the Digital Sprite 2 being controlled to the
operator's monitors. Up to 16 control positions can have monitor switching.
The example below shows two Digital Sprites controlled from individual control
points. The Video Switcher routes the monitor outputs from the DVR's to the
control points:

Tip: Each 485-bus device is supplied with a 2m 485-bus cable. To extend the
distance between devices, two 485-bus junction boxes and 12V-power supply
are required. A total distance for the whole 485-bus network can be up to
1500m (4900ft).

Configuring the Digital Sprite 2
Using the menus
Digital Sprite 2 uses a paged menu system to guide the installer through the
installation process.
Entering the menus
There are two types of menu; User and Installer.
User Menu
To enter the User menu tap the Menu key.
Note: If a password has been set and enabled it will be necessary to enter the
User password to gain access to the menus. This is disabled by default.
The User menu will allows access to the 'Time, Date & Language' and
'Schedule' menus only.
The user has minimal configuration capabilities, these are to change the time
(in minutes only), date format, language, shutdown the system and set the
timezone in the Time, Date and Language menu and set the schedule options
in the Schedule menu.
Installer Menu
The Installer menu allows access to all configuration menus.
To enter the Installer menu, press and hold the Menu key.
Note: If a password has been set and enabled it will be necessary to enter the
Installer password to gain access to the menus. This is disabled by default.
