Video Matrix Switch Settings

Refer to Figure 34 for the dip switch pack located on the end of the video matrix. Factory settings are
shown in bold.

Determines what the teller sees while no lane is selected. If a driveway camera is not connected,
the teller will see a rotation of all lane cameras regardless of this switch position.

If the auxiliary video input works properly leave this switch in the factory setting; otherwise try the
opposite setting.

This switch causes the lane numbers on the video matrix to be associated with the next higher lane
number on the audio matrix. For example, assume a facility has 5 lanes of audio with lane 1 being
a deal drawer and lanes 2 through 5 being pneumatic units. If video was only being used on the
pneumatic units you could get by with a 4-lane video matrix by shifting the lanes on the video
matrix so they would be associated with audio lanes 2 through 5.
Termination Switches: These switches, labeled TERM on the matrix, are used to terminate the end of
the cable run at 75 ohms. There is a switch for each lane camera and the driveway camera. If the cable
from the camera "terminates" at the matrix, the switch must be ON. If the cable is t-tapped at the matrix
to run to another device, such as a DVR, the switch must be OFF since the termination must happen at
the end of the cable run. Improper termination will degrade the picture quality and can cause other
problems such as the system not staying locked on to a lane camera after the teller selects that lane.
A word about t-tapping: Even though t-tapping causes a loss of signal level, this method works fine
most of the time. Occasionally this method will not work and it will be necessary to install a distribution
amplifier for each camera involved. Also if the t-tap does not happen directly at the matrix it will be
necessary to use distribution amps since there is no single end-of-line. A small video distribution amp
with 1 input and 2 outputs can be ordered using part number E10039.
An alternate wiring method may be to run the lane camera cables directly to the DVR if that device has
true looping outputs (meaning the signal is re-generated). In that case the DVR would generate a fresh,
full signal which could be "terminated" at the video matrix.
