American Dynamics™ MegaPower LT matrix switcher systems are designed to satisfy the needs of small scale installations. The system is available in 16 and 32 input models and supports American Dynamics MegaPower 1100, ADTTE, AD2089, and ControlCenter 200 and 300 keyboards.

MegaPower LT is fully compatible with the SpeedDome series of programmable dome cameras. It supports the highly reliable ADnet RS-485 communication protocol as well as SensorNet and digital AD-Up-The-Cable (AD-UTC) protocols. These protocols enable you to “ping” the dome to verify communication. In addition, the DirectSet feature allows you to quickly change dome camera settings. MegaPower LT supports standard dome features such as presets, patterns and auxiliaries as well as “views,” which allow an operator to call a camera/preset or camera/pattern with a single command.

This small versatile system can be mounted virtually anywhere—in racks, on walls or even under a desk. It supports the robust features you would typically expect in a high-end system including partitioning, priorities, sequences; and includes a robust alarm-handling package. In addition, you can network up to three MegaPower LT systems to form a distributed system. MegaPower LT is also easily integrated with other security system components through the American Dynamics standard RS-232 keyboard protocol.

features

Multiple Mounting Options

MegaPower LT is provided with mounting ears that can be attached to the unit in multiple orientations to enable desk, wall or rack mounting.

System Configuration

Modular, high-density system with a choice of 16 video inputs and 4 video outputs or 32 video inputs and 8 video outputs.

Camera Site Control

Users can control fixed and variable-speed domes, auxiliary outputs, presets and patterns at suitably equipped camera sites via the SensorNet outputs and the AD-UTC protocol. Each input is independently configurable.

System Programming

On-screen menus enable use of any full-system keyboard to program system features. Menu access is passcode protected to prevent unauthorized access.

Passcode Menu Access

Two levels of menu access are provided, administrator and supervisor. Only administrator access provides access to the alarm and installer menus.

Time and Date

Administrators can set the display to a 12 or 24-hour clock. Three date formats are provided:

• MM/DD/YY

• YY/MM/DD

• DD/MM/YY In addition, the daylight savings time option enables the

clock to be adjusted forward, backward, or no action.

Views

Program up to 128 views, each with a camera input number and either a preset number or a pattern number. Each view can be given a unique title, which replaces the camera title on the monitor display when selected either manually or as part of a sequence.

Tours (Sequences)

Sixteen tours of video inputs may be established for call-up to monitors at anytime. Each tour provides 16 positions for insertion of video inputs and views — each with an individual dwell time. Tours can be run forward or in reverse. They can include the same video input multiple times and/or multiple presets and patterns from a single camera. Two tours can be connected together to provide up to 32 entries. Video inputs partitioned from a monitor are automatically skipped.

ADnet (RS-485) Communications

One RJ-45 connector allows standard communication with keyboards, other MegaPower LT systems and other ADnet devices. The port is programmable for data rates of 9.6k and

19.2k baud.

RS-232 Communications

The RJ-45 connector simultaneously supports RS-232 communications as well as ADnet. The port can expand to 4 ports with an optional port expander. This expands the available RS-232 ports to a maximum of 4.

Selectable On-Screen Text

Each of the monitors can display the date/time, video input number, monitor number, 16-character user-definable video input or view title, alarm message and event message. White character on-screen text with black outline optimizes viewing on diverse contrast scenes. The user can turn each of the displays on and off. In addition, users can select the line on which each of the titles will appear.

Recorder Control (DirectControl)

With the ControlCenter 200 and 300 keyboards in ADnet mode, users can control standard recorder functions directly — play, stop, pause, record, rewind, fast forward, eject — for both RS-232 controlled VCRs and digital recorders. Users can customize the keyboards to support different command sets.

Automatic Alarm Call-Up

Alarm inputs can be programmed to call any video input to any one or more video outputs. For each alarm or event, users can define a camera, preset, alarm title, event message, keyboard sound level and/or auxiliary action. Each monitor can be configured to display alarms. After an alarm is cleared, the monitor can either display the last alarm response or be returned to its pre-alarm state. The global alarm settings have 5 display modes and 3 clearance modes.

Alarm Display Modes

• None: No change to the monitor display. If multiple alarms are received, the last alarm received

• Last:

is displayed until it is cleared.

• Stack:

• Switch:

• Rotate:

If multiple alarms are received, the alarms are displayed on additional alarm enabled monitors. Additional alarms are held in a queue of up to 255 events and 32 alarm inputs.

The first alarm in will be displayed on all alarm monitors. Additional alarms will display on all alarm monitors once the preceding alarm is cleared.

The first alarm in will be displayed on all alarm monitors. Additional alarms will sequence in a pre-defined dwell time (time-out) on all alarm monitors until acknowledged. Alarm outputs are disabled in this mode.

Alarm Clearance Methods

• Acknowledge: Alarms must be manually acknowledged.

• Time Out:

Alarms are automatically cleared after a pre-defined dwell time of 2 to 99 seconds. Alarms can also be manually acknowledged.

• Transparent:

Alarms are cleared after the alarm contact returns to its neutral state. If the contact returns to this state before the transparent dwell time of 2 to 99 seconds, then the alarm remains active for that predefined period. Alarms can also be manually acknowledged.

Events

An event is a message that is passed from one matrix to itself or other matrix systems (up to 3 on an ADnet network). Up to 255 events can be defined and each system can have a predefined event response. In addition, events can be generated from any ControlCenter 200 or 300 keyboard to produce a system response.

DirectSet

Allows the operator to quickly access and change dome camera settings either via an on-screen selection or simple keyboard command, without the need to access the dome menus. Features like wide dynamic range, day/night and dome information screens can be easily accessed without compromising other dome settings.

Dome Ping

This utility allows the administrator to verify the integrity of the communication between the matrix and the dome on both SensorNet and the AD-UTC protocol.

Internal Video Loss Detection

Video loss detection is standard on all video inputs. If such a camera is selected, a red screen will appear with a “Video Loss Camera” message.

System Partitioning

Defining authorized access to keyboards, video inputs and video outputs further enhances system flexibility. System partitioning includes the following:

• Keyboard-to-Monitor Access: Restricts selected keyboards from accessing selected video outputs.

• Keyboard-to-Camera Access:

Restricts selected

keyboards from calling or controlling selected video inputs.

• Keyboard-to-Camera Control Access:

Allows selected keyboards to view certain cameras but restricts those keyboards from controlling the cameras.

Keyboard Priority Operation

Keyboards can be assigned one of 8 levels of priority control of remote camera sites. Level 1 has highest priority for control of cameras. Up to 4 keyboards may simultaneously control PTZ devices.
