16, the camera numbers must be changed to match the camera number of the corresponding
encoder.
Bosch provides configuration software for the LTC 8200 that allows changing camera numbers and
other matrix settings. See the "Configuring the Bosch LTC 8200 Matrix Switch" in Chapter 6: for
more information about the Master Control Software.
Note:
The current Stream Manager Software release requires monitor output ports to be
numbered starting with Port 1. This limitation does not exist for input ports.
Chapter 5: provides detailed configuration steps for failover integrations.
Integration with an American Dynamics Matrix Switch
As shown in Table 6 on Page 4-1, Cisco integrates with several third-party matrix switches and
keyboards. The examples in this section focus on the American Dynamics MegaPower matrix
switch and the American Dynamics 2088 keyboard, but similar steps apply to other American
Dynamics systems.
The following equipment is required to integrate with an American Dynamics matrix switch and
keyboard:
●
An American Dynamics matrix switch with an available input port.
●
A Cisco ISP to perform digital recording of video streams.
●
A Cisco data converter. A Cisco data converter is connected between the matrix switch,
keyboard, and ISP to convert serial signals between RS-232 and RS-422. This deployment
allows the ISP to intercept keyboard commands that identify when an operator wants to
switch from live to recorded video. A data converter is needed for each keyboard that
requires access to playback features.
●
Cisco hybrid decoders. A hybrid decoder accepts recorded video from the ISP and decodes
it into analog video, which is passed to the matrix switch. The hybrid decoder connects to a
dedicated input port on the matrix switch. The number of hybrid decoders in a solution
should match the number of keyboards that require simultaneous playback functionality.
