Matrix Switcher Solutions
“The capital expenditure is not the
issue. It is one thing to purchase
a matrix switcher; it is another
thing to maintain it. We bought
ours from American Dynamics
and have no regrets. I’m very
appreciative of the training
classes. The quality of instruction
and technical
support have helped us
immensely.”

Matrix Switchers
ur matrix switchers give you the basic building blocks for developing a video surveillance
O
system tailored to the dimensions your situation dictates. Every one of our matrix switchers
are full cross point, equipped with dome control and sophisticated alarm handling. You can program a
variety of responses from one or multiple alarms to include any combination of salvos, presets, patterns,
auxiliary actions, and more. The greatest strength of our matrix switchers besides proven reliability, lies
with in their scalability, they start as small as 16 inputs by 4 outputs and grow your system to
accommodate thousands of cameras and domes.
We also provide a complete selection of keyboards, from basic to the most feature-rich. Macros,
multifunction keys, and smart cards make them easy to use. Whether you prefer a small footprint or a
traditional industrial design, we have the right keyboard for you.
MegaPower LT
Created for busy environments like retail stores, hospitals, and
schools, the MegaPower LT provides a complete video surveillance
system at an affordable price. Small and versatile, it features
advanced alarm handling capabilities usually reserved for larger
systems as well as video loss detection on all channels. Ideal for
sites that require retrofitting, the MegaPower LT is compact and fits
just about anywhere - in racks or on walls, even under a desk.
Choose from 16 and 32 input models with 4 or 8 outputs.
MegaPower 48 Plus
Scaled to small and mid-sized operations, the MegaPower 48 Plus
incorporates features you would expect only in the largest of
systems: video loss detection with programmable responses,
wireless text messaging on alarm, a choice of keyboards, and more.
With our recorder control devices, you can integrate DVRs and play,
pause, stop, record, rewind, fast forward, and eject without ever
leaving the console. This matrix switcher provides 48 inputs, which
can be expanded to 288. Eight of its 16 video outputs include text
overlay.
MegaPower 3200
The MegaPower 3200 is the ultimate modular, scalable video matrix
switcher/controller system. This full-featured, pre-packaged system
is designed for the largest and most sophisticated users of CCTV’s
such as airports, corporate or government complexes, casinos, and
large medical centers. The system can start with a single CPU and
switcher bay. It will support upgrades and enhancements, including
more inputs and outputs, and is a bridge to the hybrid analog/digital
future. The MegaPower 3200 expands upon the time-proven
MegaPower 1024 matrix switcher technology, providing up to 3200
video inputs and 256 video outputs. The MegaPower 3200 supports
up to 64 keyboards in the single CPU configuration and 128
keyboards in the dual CPU configuration. Hot switch capability no
longer requires the accessor y Hot Switch unit. New features include
the re-designed EASY CPU configuration and monitoring software,
activity logging, and snap shot. The MegaPower 3200 suppor ts up
to 30 satellite systems.
