4.10 Video Matrix

For some multi-sensor cameras (having both thermal and DLTV sensors, or multiple thermal
1
sensors) such as the PT-Series , the Video Matrix web page allows the configuration of the
parameters that control how the multiple video channels are controlled and displayed.
The Video Matrix (also known as VIDMUX) allows the output video from either sensor (IR or
DLTV) to go to either analog video output. It also allows the output from one sensor to be
displayed as a picture-in-picture (PIP) in the other sensor.
In a multi-sensor camera, one video channel is designated as Main (or primary) and the other
channel is designated as Aux (or auxiliary). The Operation Mode parameter can be set to
Manual (default) or Active Camera. When the mode is set to Active Camera, the active sensor
(as selected in FSM or with a serial control device) is output to the Main analog output, and the
other sensor is output on the Aux analog output. This allows the analog video outputs to toggle
between the two sensors. or when only one monitor is available, to display the Active Camera
on the primary analog output.
The Initial Video Switch can be used to switch the Main
channel to the second camera at startup. The Video Source
designated as Tube-A CVBS is the IR camera, and Tube-B
CVBS is the DLTV camera. When the Video PIP parameter
is set to "yes", then the video from the other channel is
displayed as an overlay. The Video PIP Preset parameter
controls where the smaller PIP appears in the larger video.
