DESCRIPTION
The LTC 8100 Series, LTC 8200 Series, and LTC 8300 Series
Allegiant(r) video switcher/control systems combine both switching
and computer 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 8100 Series provide 8 camera inputs, 2 monitor
outputs, 2 keyboards, 8 direct connect alarm input points, an
integral signal distribution unit, a computer interface port.
The LTC 8200 Series provide 16 camera inputs, 5 monitor
outputs, 4 keyboards, 16 direct connect alarm input points, an
integral signal distribution unit, a computer interface port.
The LTC 8300 Series provide 32 camera inputs, 6 monitor
outputs, 4 keyboards, 32 direct connect alarm input points, an
integral signal distribution unit, a computer interface port, and a
logging printer port.
These systems can be programmed with up to 60 sequences
which can be run independently of each other in either a forward
or reverse direction. Any of the sequences can utilize the
SalvoSwitching(r) capability where any number of system
monitors may be selected to switch as a group. Using the
optional LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software for Windows
package or the LTC 8850/00 Philips GUI with Allegiant Server,
sequences can be made to activate and deactivate automatically
based upon the time of day and the day of week.
Utilizing the LTC 8100, LTC 8200, or LTC 8300 Series integral
signal distribution ports, connections to on-site receiver/drivers
are easily made. On-site receiver/drivers provide operator control
of pan, tilt, zoom, multiple pre-positions, four auxiliaries, auto-
pan, and random scan. The series also supports variable speed
operation and full programming functions of AutoDome
dome cameras.
With its built-in alarm interface capability, an external contact
closure or logic level can be used to automatically display any
camera. Any monitor or group of monitors can be set to display
cameras under alarm conditions. The base system contains three
built in alarm response modes: basic, auto-build, and sequence &
display. In addition to these three modes, the PC based software
packages offer VersAlarm
handling. VersAlarm has the ability to combine any or all the
three standard modes within the same system. 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, ergonomically 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.
The LTC 8100, LTC 8200, and LTC 8300 Series includes a
black outlined 48 character on-screen display for time-date,
camera number, camera ID (16 characters), and monitor (12
characters) or status information. 235 different characters are
available when programming camera ID and monitor titles.
Utilizing a standard Windows
the optional LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software for
Windows package or LTC 8850/00 Graphical User Interface
(GUI) software, enhanced programming and switching features
can be obtained. A user-friendly spreadsheet format provides the
ability to enter camera titles, enter operator names, schedule 64
timed events, change system parameters, program camera
sequences, install lockouts, and access the advanced VersAlarm
alarm handling screens with speed and efficiency. The
programmed information may then be transferred into the
