Satellite Configuration Overview

The MegaPower CPU allows local operators to access cameras and monitors located at satellite (remote) sites.
• Site refers to a single MegaPower CPU in a
satellite network and the resources that are directly connected and accessible to it.
• Local refers to features that are accessible
within a single site by the keyboard attached to that site’s MegaPower CPU.
• Remote refers to features of other MegaPower
CPU sites in a satellite network that are accessible from the local MegaPower 3200 video-matrix CCTV system.
Each site is assigned a site number for identification purposes. Operators use site numbers to switch from controlling local video functions to controlling video functions at satellite sites.
cameras, create and run automated camera actions, acknowledge alarm activities, adjust monitors, and perform other functions as needed.
Typical operator control functions include:
• Keyboard passcode entry
• Video selection of local monitors and cameras
• Video selection of remote sites and cameras
• Controlling cameras (panning, tilting, and
zooming)
• Activating presets and auxiliaries
• Running tours
• Running patterns
• Calling salvos
• Acknowledging alarms
Operators also create many of the automated features that make the MegaPower CPU a powerful, yet easy-to-use, CCTV surveillance system. Operators can program the following functions:
• Preset scenes
• Tours
• Patterns
• Alarming monitors
Operators also can arm monitors for use in managing alarm response.

Compatible System Keyboards

MegaPower CPU video switching and control capabilities are provided by American Dynamics keyboards. These capabilities are “monitor oriented” in that a keyboard controls only those functions associated with the monitor under control of that keyboard.
The MegaPower CPU is compatible with the following keyboards:
• AD2078A
• AD2079
• AD2088
• AD2089 (see note)
• ADCC0200

Note: Consult the Appendix section of this Guide
or the Operator’s Guide that came with your keyboard for step-by-step instructions on how to perform the functions described in this section.

Entering Passcodes

Passcodes can be assigned to keyboards to prevent unauthorized access to video controls. If passcodes are implemented, operators will be required to logon to the keyboard. Depending on the keyboard, both a user ID and a passcode may be required to begin operations.

Selecting a Monitor

Monitors display the video from the cameras and domes in the system. Operators must select a monitor before they can control cameras or perform other surveillance activities.
Operators are free to switch monitors as needed. For example, suppose that while operating on one monitor, another monitor begins displaying an alarm. The operator must switch to the alarming monitor in order to handle the alarm event.
To select a monitor, the operator enters the monitor’s unique identification number into the keyboard according to the keyboard’s operating instructions. The monitor access is determined by the system administrator and provided to operators.
The ADCC1100 keyboard is capable of implementing VCR control by the operator using the following VCR control keys:
• Play • Pause
• Stop • Fast Forward
• Record • Rewind
• Eject
For more information on the VCR control function of the ADCC1100 keyboard, refer to the ADCC1100 Keyboard Installation and Operation Instructions, ADCC1100-HB-2.

Using the Monitor Display

The monitor displays text on the screen as a reference for operators. The text displays the number of the currently called cameras, the camera title, the current date, and the time of day
Figure 3). The status line shows information about
( alarm conditions, tour dwell time, or camera status.
The brightness, position, and whether or not the camera title/monitor status and the time and date are displayed can be changed on a monitor-to­monitor basis according to the operator’s preference.

• Tilt is the up and down movement of the
camera.
• Zoom is the ability to move the camera’s view
closer to or farther away from an object.
The speed at which cameras with variable speed capability can pan or tilt is determined by how far the operator moves the joystick in any given direction. The further the joystick is pushed in one direction, the faster the camera will pan or tilt.

Controlling Camera Focus

Focus refers to the action of adjusting the clarity of
the camera image on the monitor. Keyboards provide manual focus controls even though many cameras have auto-focus capability. Manual focus is sometimes needed when zooming in or out on a camera.

Calling a Camera

After a monitor has been selected for control of the keyboard, the operator can “call” a camera to view and control. Each camera in the system is identified by a unique number that is used when calling it. It is necessary to call cameras for certain programming functions as well.

Locking a Camera

After calling a camera to a monitor, an operator can lock the camera to prevent other operators from taking control of it. This feature can be particularly important when actively following a suspect or investigating an area of interest.
When another operator calls a locked-out camera, the designated camera video displays on the monitor, but will not respond to that operator’s controls. The message, “LCK KXX,” (where XX is the number of the keyboard that has the locked-out camera) is displayed on the monitor to let the operator know the camera is locked out.
The default status of all cameras is unlocked.

Controlling Camera Pan/Tilt/Zoom

Operators can control the pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) movements of motorized cameras and domes using the joystick or a similar device on the keyboard.
• Pan is the side-to-side movement of the
camera.

Controlling the Camera Iris

Normally, the brightness of the camera’s picture is adequately controlled by the camera’s auto iris or similar feature. However, at times the operator may want to manually adjust the iris to brighten or darken the scene to improve the camera’s view.
Opening the iris brightens the scene while closing the iris darkens the scene. For example, an operator may want to open the iris to see details of a person who suddenly steps in front of a brightly lit window. Conversely, the operator may close the iris to darken the scene when panning a camera from a dark area to a bright area.

Calling Presets

A preset is a memorized location or scene that a pan/tilt camera can display on operator demand. Presets are also referred to as shots or targets.
The MegaPower CPU allows up to 96 presets per camera with a suitably equipped dome/PTZ device. Every preset is identified by a unique number that is used when calling it.
Notes:
• If a preset number is called and no preset scene is programmed for that camera, the pan/tilt may attempt to move to an undefined scene and camera movement may be unexpected.
• Operators can program presets while in the keyboard’s Program mode.

Running Patterns

A pattern is a sequential series of pan/tilt/zoom and focus commands defined for a SpeedDome­series camera. Patterns can provide a convenient, automated, and continuous surveillance of a large area using only one camera.
Every pattern is identified by a unique number that is used when running it.
Patterns are created in real time, which means that the dome remembers each pattern segment in the actual time it takes the operator to execute a command. For example, if the operator holds a dome on a door for 30 seconds during programming, the door scene will appear for 30 seconds when the pattern runs. Patterns also can include stops (or pauses).
SpeedDome, SpeedDome Optima, and SpeedDome Ultra (prior to VIIE) cameras can generate three patterns each. SpeedDome Ultra VIIE cameras can generate a maximum of 16 patterns. Consult your camera dome documentation for further information.
Note: Operators can program patterns while in the keyboard’s Program mode.

Running Tours

Every system tour is identified by a unique number that is used when running it.

Holding a Tour

Tours can be stopped temporarily on a single camera entry and then restarted going forward or in reverse. Holding a tour can give the operator additional time to study a particular scene.
While a tour is on hold, all keyboard control actions (pan, tilt, lens adjustment, and auxiliary on/off functions) can be performed on the held camera.

Calling Salvos

A salvo is a group of cameras that can be called for simultaneous display on a contiguous group of monitors. If more cameras exist in a salvo than there are monitors to display them, the cameras at the end of the salvo will not be seen.
Salvos often are used to see a large area all at once from the vantage point of several cameras in that area; for example, a parking garage with cameras installed in all four corners.
Every salvo is identified by a unique number that is used when calling it.
A monitor tour is a sequential display of several different camera views on a monitor. Monitor tours provide an effective way to see multiple areas around a facility by automatically switching to different cameras.
The MegaPower CPU is capable of displaying up to 64 different camera views in a single tour. Each camera view is displayed for a defined period of time (dwell time) before switching to the next camera.
Monitor tours can be modified while they are running to add a camera, remove a camera, or re­program a camera.
Note: Operators can program monitor tours while in the keyboard’s Program mode.
System tours, which are created by administrators using the EASY CPU configuration and monitoring software, supersede monitors tours. When a system tour is started on a monitor, it will erase any monitor tour currently programmed for that monitor. After a system tour is called to a monitor, it can be altered and saved as a monitor tour. The original system tour will not be erased.

Working with Alarms

The MegaPower CPU can associate alarm devices with cameras so that video of important areas will be displayed on one or more monitors when an alarm occurs. The video on display can be a tour, a salvo, a preset, or a pattern. In addition to video, the monitor will display the word “ALARM.” It is the responsibility of operators to respond appropriately when alarms occur.
Note: If a salvo is called in response to an alarm, the monitor displaying the first camera of the salvo will show the word “ALARM,” and the monitors displaying the remaining cameras of the salvo will show the word “SALVO.”
Up to 128 unique titles can be defined for display on alarming monitors or sent as e-mail messages. Up to 16 e-mail messages can be defined and assigned to alarm numbers to send when alarms occur.
