Operator`s manual

G-4 AD168 System Operator’s Manual
pattern A sequence of pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris movements from a single
programmable dome. The dome “learns” these movements in real time through
keyboard programming, and can replay them automatically.
port configuration The setting of a communications port’s baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, and
device type, to enable the device to communicate successfully with another device
to which it is connected.
preset A preset is a pre-positioned camera scene which can be programmed with cameras
installed with pan/tilt and motorized lens capability. A preset can be called to a
monitor through manual keyboard control, or can appear automatically as part of a
system tour or salvo. Presets are also referred to as Targets or Shots.
priority level priority levels are assigned to users and keyboards to either allow or restrict access
to six AD168 system functions: system reset; camera lock; override; menu access;
parameters; and add users.
program monitor A video output on the AD168 central processing module with a resident character
generator. The program monitor output can be connected to a dedicated monitor, or
can be connected to an AD168 video input module for switching to any system
monitor.
pseudo number A pseudo number is one substituted for a “real” camera number to provide a clue as
to the camera’s location or function. The real camera number is determined by the
camera cable’s connection point on the AD168 bay. For example, cameras installed
on the first floor of a location can be numbered 1001, 1002, 1003, etc. Cameras
installed on the second floor can be numbered 2001, 2002, 2003, and so on. AD168
accepts pseudo numbers ranging from 1 to 9999.
S
salvo A salvo is a simultaneous display of multiple camera scenes appearing on a
contiguous set of monitors. A salvo can be called manually by a system operator, or
can appear automatically as part of a system tour or alarm call-up.
sequence queuing Multiple alarm camera scenes associated with a particular monitor are displayed in
sequence, with a pre-programmed dwell time for each scene. The scenes will
continue to cycle on the associated monitor in the order in which the alarms were
activated until each scene is cleared.
single display An alarm camera scene is displayed only on the single monitor with which it is
associated. Multiple alarms received on the same monitor are queued as defined by
the monitor’s queuing method.
stop bit A bit or group of bits that identifies the end of a data word, and defines the space
between data words.
switching monitor A monitor connected to a switching bay which can display the video signals from any
camera connected to the bay. Compare with dedicated monitor.
switching system A system in which an incoming video signal or signals are routed to a bay, and then
can be switched either manually or automatically to any one of multiple video
outputs. The AD168 switching system can accommodate up to 168 video inputs and
up to 24 video outputs.
