MegaPower 168
MATRIX SWITCHER/CONTROLLER SYSTEM
The MegaPower 168 Matrix Switcher/Controller
System is ideal for small to mid-size applications that
require high-end features and plug-and-play
capability. Mount the system; connect cameras,
monitors, and keyboards; and apply power. The
result is a complete functioning CCTV system.
Default performance parameters allow the
MegaPower 168 to be used the moment power-up
and self-check functions are completed. In addition
to the standard matrix switcher features offered with
our largest systems (such as macro control, recorder
control, choice of keyboards), the MegaPower 168
offers several innovative features.
The bays have been designed with a see through front
panel to allow the user to view the diagnostic LEDs
on each module. The front and the back of each
module is also colored coded so that modules can be
easily identified. On-screen text includes
identification of pre-programmed presets and alarm
events via a user defined title. Video loss detection is
standard on all video inputs. An on-board video
pattern-generator enables a color bar pattern to be
called to all monitors for consistent display
adjustment.
The MegaPower 168 is delivered as a pre-configured
one-bay system with a maximum size of 168 inputs
by 12 outputs, or as a two-bay system with a
maximum size of 168 inputs by 24 outputs. Eight
expandable RS-232 inputs are provided for the
connection of keyboards, alarm, or computing
devices. For convenience, a parallel printer port is
also provided. The Windows
Software, provided with the system, greatly simplifies
the process of customizing and archiving MegaPower
168 operational parameters.
