MegaPower 3200 is a modular, scalable video matrix
switcher/controller system designed for the largest and most
sophisticated users of CCTV such as airports, corporate or
government complexes, casinos, and large medical centers.
Start with a single CPU and switcher bay and easily expand
by adding switcher bays for more inputs and outputs. Dual
CPU mode provides redundant CPU backup protection with
fault detection and hot switch failover to ensure uninterrupted
system operation. Achieve a full cross-point video matrix
of up to 38,528 video inputs by 256 video outputs with a
satellite connection of up to 30 systems. MegaPower 3200 is
maintenance and user-friendly, letting you easily swap out the
CPU, video input and video output modules without removing
system cables. Plus, an LCD displays CPU status while LED
indicators provide information on port activity.
With powerful user-defined macros, you can customize

multitude of system tasks via simple, easy to remember
keystrokes.
(1) Requires port expanders and dual mode CPU
(2) Feature supported with AD2089 keyboard and Network Client v4.04 and higher
(3) Supports ControlCenter 1100 and AD2089 keyboards
MegaPower 3200 connects seamlessly to your network to
enable PC-based configuration, firmware updates, activity
logging, snapshots, time synchronization, and email text
messaging. In addition, you can send activity logs and reports
of user control, alarms, and configuration changes to any PC
on the network.
As an essential part of the powerful American Dynamics
Enterprise Surveillance Solution, MegaPower 3200 enables
you to switch back and forth between live and recorded video
using the same keyboard and monitor. By integrating with
Network Client Remote Management Software, users can

functionality such as camera playback, tours, and salvos
using the same CCTV keyboard and monitor.

Easy to Configure and Use
MegaPower 3200 uses an Enhanced Administration System
(EASY) configuration and monitoring software tool to retrieve,
archive, and load back MegaPower CPU data. It provides
IP network connection to all satellite systems and can
concurrently update dual mode CPUs.
In addition to the powerful macros that allow you to customize
your keyboards, MegaPower 3200 also lets you control
standard video recorder functions such as play, stop, pause,
record, rewind, and fast-forward directly from any suitably
equipped keyboard. Similarly, you can control fixed or
variable-speed domes, pan/tilts, motorized lenses, auxiliary
outputs, and 72 presets per video input at camera sites. For
each video input, you can assign a 4-digit number to replace
the default video input number. This can aid in identifying
specific locations in applications like multiple level buildings or
satellite configurations.
Selectable on-screen display enables you to display the
date/time, video input number and title, site number and title,
and monitor status. Set the date/time directly using system
keyboards in three date formats (MM/DD/YY, DD/MM/YY, or
YY/MM/DD) and configure beginning and end date/time for
Daylight Saving Time within the EASY CPU application. The
user can turn the following displays on and off: video input
number and monitor status, video input title, and date/time
displays. Text controls include incremental horizontal/vertical
positioning and display brightness. When attempting to control
a dome/PTZ, each monitor can also display which user or
keyboard of equal or higher priority has control or has locked
the camera.
Scalable and Flexible for a
Future-Proof System
MegaPower 3200 is available pre-packaged in any
combination of 16 video inputs and 4 video output increments
up to a maximum of 3200 video inputs, by 256 video outputs.
Expanded satellite systems interconnect up to 30 systems.
System flexibility is further enhanced by defining authorized
access to keyboards, video inputs and video outputs.
Partitioning can also be used to limit access to remote
systems.
RS-232 ports allow standard communication with keyboards,
alarm interface units, satellite system CPUs, recorder control
devices, third party interfaces, computers, etc. Each port is
individually programmable for standard data rates from 300
to 38,400 BPS. Each port can expand to four ports with the
optional port expander.
Ensuring the Most Vigilant Security
MegaPower 3200 supports universal system and individual
monitor tours for consistent surveillance. A tour is a sequence
of video inputs with each input featuring an individual dwell
time, a preset/pattern, and an auxiliary action. Tours can run
forward or in reverse.
Salvo switching allows multiple video inputs to be called
simultaneously to multiple contiguous video outputs. Two
hundred individual groups (salvos), consisting of up to 16
video inputs (each with a preset and an auxiliary action) can
be called either manually or as part of a tour and can be
programmed from one through 9999.
There are 35 user-programmable times available that can be
independently designated for multiple days of the week to call
universal tours to video output(s). Event timers also enable you
to activate and deactivate alarm contacts.
Integrate SpeedDome Programmable Dome Camera alarms
utilizing SensorNet and duplex RS-422 protocols. Alarms can
be programmed to call a video input or groups of video inputs
to any one or more video outputs. Custom text messages can
be displayed on alarming monitors. A preset, auxiliary action,
and individual dwell time may be defined for each alarm input.
Any of 25 alarm display/clearance methods may be selected
independently for each video output. Clear alarms from a
configured block of monitors using Normal, Automatic, or
Instant alarm clearing methods for convenient, effective alarm
management.
Easily Monitor Activity and Permissions
Log the occurrence and removal of all alarm and video loss
events on a networked PC. An alarm event message includes
date/time of event, contact number, video input number, and
alarm status. Video loss messages include date/time, video
input number, video loss status, synchronization loss status,
and detection mode. Optional internal video loss detection
alerts an operator to the complete or partial loss of each video
input. Advanced detection circuitry detects loss of video sync
or 25%, 50%, 75% loss of video signal for each input
Keyboards or users can be assigned one of eight levels
of priority control of remote camera sites. Up to 64 user
codes, each with a unique password, can be assigned to
operators. Access to certain system features may be restricted
depending on a user’s priority level.
