AD1202
DESCRIPTION
The AD1202 MCS Coax Controller is a compact Pan/Tilt,
Lens, Preset Scene, and Auxiliary controller for four color or
monochrome cameras. The AD1202 provides coax control of
four cameras via the video line connection to the camera site.
Additionally, AD Manchester Control Code outputs are
available for control of non-coax camera Receivers.
Each camera can be individually selected and controlled from
the AD1202 front panel. The selected camera's video input is
displayed via the rear panel Monitor output. Pushbutton
control is provided for camera pan/tilt, lens zoom/focus/iris,
preset scene, and auxiliary functions.
The AD1202 responds to external alarm contact closures by
automatically calling the alarmed camera to the monitor output
and calling preset 1 of that alarmed input. Separate alarm
inputs are provided for each camera input. The AD1202 also
provides a pulse output when an alarm is received at any of the
four alarm inputs. This pulse can be used to activate an
external device such as a VCR.
Camera preset scenes at suitably equipped camera sites can be
controlled by the AD1202, using AD1640 and AD1680 Series
Receivers. The AD1202 can program and recall any of the
first four presets (1 - 4) for one of these Receivers.
Looping video outputs allow the AD1202 to operate as a
control follower with MCS-compatible American Dynamics
switchers. The AD1202 can respond to camera selections
made by the switcher to allow coax control of the requested
camera. The AD1202 can be programmed to control any four
cameras of the switcher. Four AD1202 Controllers can be
cascaded to a single MCS switcher to control sixteen cameras.
A security lockout feature disables front panel programming
controls. This capability prevents inadvertent changes to
camera programming.
A built-in test procedure provides verification of AD1202 front
panel controls and indicators.

Mounting
The AD1202 Coax Controller is supplied as a desktop unit.
Locate in a convenient position, near the associated video
switcher (if connected as a switcher controller) and the video
monitor connected to the unit.
For rack-mounting, use American Dynamics rack-mount kit,
model AD2117/21. The AD1202 is a half-rack width unit.
Two half-rack units may be mounted in a single 19" by 1-3/4"
rack. Install with a minimum of 1 3/4-inch clearance between
rack units. Avoid heat sources or poorly ventilated racks.
