OVERVIEW

The TX1500 is a video matrix and telemetry control system offering control of up to 96 cameras from 4 control
positions. Eight monitor outputs are provided with monitors 1,2,3 & 4 having on screen display.

BBV & VISTA up-the-coax and BBV 422 & VISTA 485 linked receivers and domes can be controlled when
viewed on any monitor. Pelco and VCL up-the-coax control is limited to monitors 1-4.

Monitor outputs tested via CRT Monitors, recommended maximum cable (RG59) distance from matrix = 25 meters.
TFT Monitors may require additional amplification.

Site alarms and contacts are handled with alarm cards, each providing 16 inputs. Up to 6 alarm cards can be linked
into the TX1500 system either locally or remotely offering 96 alarm inputs
The TX1500/BBUS-IF interface, which appears as another Keypad, gives off-site control, via video/data transmission
equipment, and local control from PC and other equipment. The interface can be controlled using either the TX1000 or
TX1500 control protocol via either RS232 or RS422.

The TX1500 matrix communicates with all Keypads, alarm cards and BBUS-IF interfaces via a polled 4-wire multidrop
RS422 control bus named BBUS.

The matrix itself is in a subrack which can be fitted to a 19” rack using supplied fixing brackets. The fixing brackets
can be mounted on the front or rear face of the subrack. By fitting the ears on the back of the subrack, it can also be
wall mounted.

Alarm cards, BBUS-IF and StarCards are supplied in 1U sub racks as standard or can be fitted into the subrack with
the matrix if specified when ordering.
Larger subracks than standard can be supplied if specified when ordering.

EXPANDING AN EXISTING SYSTEM on site (maximum of 96 camera inputs)

The TX1500 can be expanded to a maximum of 96 cameras.

Larger subracks are inculed when required nesserary. All the cards from the existing subrack must be transferred to
the new subrack. Note down and put somewhere safe all the external connection information to aid re-commissioning
the system.

BBUS CONTROL BUS

The TX1500 communicates with all Keypads, alarm cards and BBUS-IF interfaces via a polled 4 wire multidrop
RS422 control bus named BBUS.

All the units are equipped with standard RJ45 connectors allowing cat 5 patch cables to be used to connect over
short distances. On the larger sites RJ45 break out boxes are used to link between cat 5 cables and good quality
screen twin twisted pair data cable. Suitable types are the following Belden cables: 9842, 9829, 8162, 8132.

VIDEO INPUT CARD

The Video Input Card is used to connect 16 camera inputs to the TX1500. Systems larger than
16 cameras will use multiple cards. The input cards are self addressing.

Each input has a corresponding looping output on the lower BNC connector. The camera inputs
are passively terminated at 75Ω and auto de-terminate when a BNC plug is connected to the
looping output. Up to 6 cards can be connected in a matrix to control up to 96 cameras.

MATRIX DIAGNOSTICS

The matrix STATUS led indicates system operation as follows:

Flashing Dimly The matrix is powered with at least one Keypad connected. Use 58# to display the

Keypad numbers that the matrix has detected on the BBUS.

Mainly OFF, 1 second ON The matrix is powered with no Keypads connected. – If Keypads are connected then

make sure that each Keypad address is unique between 0 – 3. Keypads sharing an
address will cause the matrix to ignore both Keypads with unpredictable results.

OFF The matrix is powered with no Keypads connected or the matrix is not powered or

has an internal fault. If the power supply seems fine then please contact technical
support for further assistance.

Several commands exist that allow on site diagnostics. These commands must be entered from Keypad 1 and
display results on monitor output 1.

51# Display the matrix firmware version, number of resets and watchdog resets.

TX1500 Version shows the matrix firmware version number ie 2.3

resets shows the number of times that the system has lost power or the menu has been accessed.

watchdogs shows the number of times the matrix watchdog has reset the matrix. A high figure here can
indicate that there may be interference or power fluctuations.

55# Coaxial telemetry on.

With normal operation, the coaxial telemetry is only transmitted to a receiver whilst a camera is being
controlled. After a short period the telemetry transmission is stopped. This is prevent interference to sync
separators in DVRs etc. W hen trouble shooting telemetry problems the telemetry should be on all the time
so the 55# command would be used and then the receiver CABLE and ERROR leds inspected. Pressing #
again will stop the telemetry transmission.

56# Display the status of matrix switch SW1, the display shows a HEX number which corresponds to the switch

settings for SW1. The number is displayed whilst the # key is pressed. Releasing the # key will clear the
number from the screen.

Number displayed SW1 switch

0 1 - 6 OFF
1 1 ON
2 2 ON
4 3 ON
8 4 ON
10 5 ON
20 6 ON

When more than 1 switch is ON then the number displayed will the sum of the values of all switches that are
ON, ie. 1,2 ON, display shows 03, 1,2,3,4 ON displays 0F
RS422 telemetry directly from the TELEMETRY port and should not normally be selected.

Example numbers that could be displayed
0 = normal mode
1 = DIXONS mode – This is a special mode developed for DSG driving Mark Mercer

57# Display the status of matrix switch SW2 as per 56#.

2A = SW2-2/4/6 ON = FACTORY INITIALISATION on a power up. This is used to clear any programming
and load default values. Useful if the matrix has had a corrupted programming. Once powered up turn all
SW2 switches OFF again to prevent further accidental initialisations.

58# Display number of Keypads or BBUS/I-F with addresses connected to the matrix along with the software

version of each Keypad or BBUS/I-F.

TX1500/AL16 - 16 ALARM INPUT CARD

Each alarm card provides 16 individual normally closed volts free alarm inputs. The card communicates via the BBUS
with the monitor output card. Power is supplied either via the BBUS interface when the alarm card is mounted in the
TX1500 subrack or via an external 9Vdc supply when mounted remotely.

NOTE: Only 1 alarm card can be powered from the BBUS port.

The power led is used as a status indication and shows the following:
Mainly ON, flashing OFF when the alarm card is polled, approx 2-3 times every second. (NORMAL)
OFF permanently – alarm card not powered or faulty.
ON permanently – Not polled by MONITOR card, BBUS cable faulty or ALARM card faulty.

ACCESS TABLES

One of the advanced features of the TX1500 system is the ability to prevent specific cameras from being displayed on
specific monitors and to prevent specific Keypads from moving cameras.

The Access Table screen is used to program which monitors each Keypad can control. A setting of ‘Y’ is used if the
Keypad is allowed to control a monitor and ‘N’ to prevent control.

This screen shows the settings for a site with two Keypads. Each Keypad
has it’s own monitor and is locked out of controlling the other Keypad’s
monitor.

i.e.
Keypad 1 can control monitor 1 ONLY
Keypad 2 can control monitor 2 ONLY

Pressing the +/- keys will toggle the value of each monitor between Y and
N.

NB: Keypad 1 can always control monitor 1 as this is used to setup the
matrix.

On power up the matrix interrogates devices on the BBUS and all control devices are displayed on this screen.
Recognised control devices are:-.

ALARM MENUS

Alarm handling of the TX1500 is programmed from the Alarm Menu screens.
Up to four actions can be carried out following each alarm activation. Eg four cameras could move to preset positions to
triangulate onto an event.

On selection of Alarm Menus the following screen is displayed

This example shows a system with a single 16 input alarm card.

The TX1500 will display the total number of alarms that can be
programmed based on the Maximum Alarm number set in the System
Basics menu.

Input Action:
Sets the action for the ALARM 00 input on the matrix monitor board. Use +/- to cycle through the options.

No Action – ALARM 00 is not used.
Disable Alm – is used to disable all alarms when ALARM 00 is shorted to GND.
Alarm 00 – ALARM 00 is used as an alarm input in addition to the TX1500/AL16 alarm card inputs.

NOTE: Always handled in ‘AUTOMATIC’ mode, regardless of ‘Alarm stack’ setting.

Alarm Beep Time:
Number of seconds that all the Keypads ‘beep’ following an alarm input. Use +/- to cycle through the values.
0, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20 Seconds

Alarm Stack:
The matrix alarm handling can be automatic, ie the system will drive cameras to presets as alarms occur or require an
operator input before the alarm is actioned. Use the +/- to toggle between Automatic and Manual.

Automatic – Alarm activations are handled automatically
Manual – The ALARM key must be pressed to acknowledge an alarm activation

Relay 1 Time:

The number of seconds that the Relay 1 output of alarm card 1 is active following any alarm.
Use +/- to cycle through the various time delays. 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 200 or 250 seconds.

Enter the 2 digit alarm number you wish to program using the 0-9 keys. Eg enter 01 for alarm 1. The following screen
will then be displayed. See the relay number mentioned on page 17.

Each of the four actions can allow a camera to be moved to a preset
position and displayed on a monitor output. In addition, if the monitor was
sequencing before the alarm occurred, after ‘time’ seconds the sequence
is re-started.

If alarms are taken into the local alarm input of a telemetry receiver that
supports local alarms, ie Rx100/Rx400DC/Rx45X/Rx55X, ‘pre’ must be
set to 00 as the preset will depend on the receiver alarm input. (See the
receiver manual for more details on local alarms.)

This simple example shows alarm 1 moving camera 1 to preset 1 and
display on monitor 1.

next and prev allow setting the alarm actions for the next and previous
alarm inputs.

SEQUENCES

Each of the 8 monitor outputs of the TX1500 can sequence between all or specific cameras. Each camera can be
individually added or removed from each monitor sequence. For example, in a retail environment public store monitors
are prevented from displaying sensitive areas of the store whilst monitors in the security office can sequence all
cameras.

If a camera greater than the Maximum Camera Number is added to a
sequence this camera will be ignored when the sequence is running.

Selecting Cameras 01 – 08 will display the following screen

Monitors 1 to 8 are shown with monitor 1 the top line and monitor 8 the
bottom line.

The first item is the type of sequence or the dwell time if running a
standard sequence. The screen on the left shows all the variants of
sequences and dwell times.

Sequence types:
2/5/15… Second – standard sequence with a dwell time before displaying the next camera.
Random – The cameras are sequenced as above from lowest to highest but with a random dwell

time between each camera.
Full Rand – In Full Random the monitor will display a completely random camera for a random
period of time. This is useful for public display monitors on shop floor to prevent
shoplifters remembering the displayed sequence.

A camera will be in a specific monitor’s sequence if a Y is displayed or be skipped if an N is displayed.
Use the + or – keys to toggle between Y and N.

Next8 displays the next bank of 8 cameras.
