3Description
This Allegiant video switcher/control system combines both switching and computer technology to provide powerful performance and unique system features for the security user. Offering full matrix switching capability, this system can be programmed to display the video from any camera on any monitor, either manually or via independent automatic switching sequences.
The LTC 8500 Series Allegiant system can handle up to 64 cameras and eight (8) monitors in a full crosspoint configuration. It can also accommodate 128 alarm points, up to eight (8) system keyboards, a computer system console port, and a logging printer port.
This system can be programmed with up to 60 sequences that can be run independently of each other, in either a forward or reverse direction. Any of the sequences can utilize the SalvoSwitching capability where any number of system monitors may be selected to switch as a synchronized group. Using the optional LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software (MCS) package or the LTC 8850/00 Bosch Graphical User Interface (GUI), sequences can be made to activate and deactivate automatically, based upon the time of day and the day of week.
The series supports variable speed control and full programming functions of
AutoDome® Series dome cameras. In addition, support for on-site receiver/driver units provide operators with control of pan, tilt, zoom, multiple pre-positions, four auxiliaries, autopan, and random scan using conventional camera/lens/housings.
With the addition of an external LTC 8540/00 Alarm Interface unit, an external contact closure or logic level can be used to automatically display any camera. Any monitor or group of monitors can be set to display cameras under alarm conditions. The base system contains three (3) built-in alarm response modes: basic, auto-build, and sequence and display. In addition to these three (3) modes, the PC based software packages offer the ability to combine any or all three (3) standard modes. Alarm video may be selected to reset either manually or automatically. In addition, a 16-character alarm title can be selected to appear instead of the camera title during alarm conditions.
System operation and programming is accomplished using a full-function, ergonomically designed keyboard. Multiple keyboards may be used in the system. Built-in operator priority levels and the ability to restrict certain operators from controlling designated functions provide maximum flexibility.
This system includes a 48-character on-screen display for time-date, camera number, camera ID (16 characters), and monitor (12 characters) or status information. When programming camera ID and monitor titles, 256 different characters are available.
Enhanced programming and switching features can be obtained by utilizing a stan-
dard Windows® equipped PC and the optional LTC 8059/00 MCS package or the LTC 8850/00 GUI Software. A user friendly spreadsheet format provides the ability to enter camera titles, enter operator names, schedule up to 64 timed events, change system parameters, program camera sequences, install lockouts, and access the advanced alarm handling screens with speed and efficiency. The programmed information may then be transferred into the Allegiant system, stored on disk, or printed from a PC.
The LTC 8850/00 Bosch GUI Software is designed around an intuitive graphicbased interface. This software provides high performance programming, control,
EN | 3
and monitoring of all system functions by using on-screen icons to reflect real time status of the devices controlled by the system.
The LTC 8850/00 GUI Software also provides the ability to monitor system status events. System alarms, switching functions, sequence events, and keyboard actions can be viewed in real time on the PC screen and, if desired, logged to the PC hard drive. The LTC 8850/00 GUI Software can also be used to enable a special onscreen icon for identifying controllable cameras.
The CPU inside these matrix switchers supports powerful macro capabilities. The macros can be activated using system keyboards, system time event functions, alarm activations, and via special function icons in the LTC 8850/00 GUI Software.
This system can serve as the master switcher in a SatelliteSwitch configuration. This innovative feature enables a single master Allegiant system to communicate with remotely located “Satellite” systems. Any Allegiant system model can serve as a remote Satellite switcher. This powerful feature permits the design of a distributed matrix video switching system with control at one central location and individual control at the local sites. The main control site can view/control local cameras plus cameras located at any of the remotely distributed Satellite sites. The Satellite sites can view/control only cameras associated with their own site. When these models are used in this type of configuration, the main system can access up to 256 cameras located anywhere in the system.

6.15 LTC 8781 Series Data Converter Units
The LTC 8781 Series are accessory units that decode the Allegiant system's encoded time/date information generated on the biphase control code line and convert it into an RS-422 GPS format. This time/date information can be used to interface into external time/date inserter products (such as the Kalatel KTS-53-16), which are designed to be synchronized via a GPS signal.
6.16 LTC 8016/90 Bilinx™ Data Interface Unit
The LTC 8016/90 Allegiant Bilinx Data Interface unit is an accessory used for communicating over-the-coax, with up to 16 Bilinx-capable AutoDome and/or Dinion™ Series cameras. The LTC 8016 provides complete control of pan/tilt/zoom, auxiliaries, and pre-position functions of Bilinx enabled AutoDome Series cameras. In addition, complete programming of Dinion Series cameras and AutoDomes via their on-screen menus is supported. Bilinx technology also supports camera-gener- ated event reporting to the Allegiant. This connection allows remote alarm inputs and motion event data to be sent by the camera to the Allegiant without the need for additional wiring between the camera site and the main control location. The LTC 8016 can also be used to transmit Bilinx communications over a number of video transmission systems. Example devices include fiber optic links and external balun devices that use CAT5 twisted pair cables for video communication.
6.17 LTC 8785 Series Code Converters
The LTC 8785 Series code converter units are designed for use in older Allegiant systems that have been upgraded to support 'variable speed' control code protocol. The LTC 8785 units are used to provide a source of 'fixed speed' control code when the system is generating the newer 'variable speed' control code preferred by the AutoDome Series of PTZ cameras. The LTC 8785 would receive the variable speed control code from the Allegiant via its LTC 8568/00 Signal Distribution unit and convert it into the appropriate fixed speed control code. The 'fixed speed' control code outputs from the LTC 8785 Series connect to the older TC8561 Series receiver/ drivers using the existing field cabling.
6.18 LTC 8782 Series Code Translator Units
The LTC 8782 Series Code Translators are accessory units that convert biphase code to other manufacturers’ control codes, or convert other manufacturers’ codes to
EN | 11
biphase. Many of the most popular protocol codes are supported, including Pelco®, Vicon®, American Dynamics®, Sensormatic®, Kalatel®, Diamond Electronics®, and Javelin®. Fixed and variable speed codes are supported where applicable.
6.19 LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software
The Allegiant LTC 8059/00 MCS brings the familiarity of the personal computer to those who supervise closed circuit television systems. Running on a Windows based compatible computer, this software is the human interface that makes it quick and easy to configure an entire Allegiant system.
With the MCS package, users can set and change an Allegiant's system parameters; program camera sequences; lock cameras, monitors, remotes, and keyboards from certain users; and perform many other system control features. Users can also view system activity with real time monitoring of the system status, and if desired, log this information to a file stored on the hard drive.
6.20 LTC 8850/00 Windows Based Graphical User Interface Software
The Allegiant LTC 8850/00 GUI Software is a PC-based program designed for complete control and programming of the Allegiant Series of matrix switchers. With a mouse click on an icon, operators can easily take control of system hardware devices, including cameras, monitors, and alarms. Jumping from one map to another is easily accomplished using special link icons. System Administrators can easily call-up the included Allegiant LTC 8059/00 MCS module for entering the Allegiant system's camera titles, sequences, alarm responses, and many other configuration features. Communication between the GUI workstations and an Allegiant system can be made using an RS-232 link, or via a Windows based-PC network.
6.21 SFT-INTSRV Allegiant Integration Software
The SFT-INTSRV software CD contains three (3) distinct software packages that can be used to integrate external devices with an Allegiant system matrix switcher. Please refer to the following sections for details:
Integration Server
The Integration Server is a versatile software package used to integrate multiple systems that are not ordinarily compatible with each other. This system can include video switchers, point of sale systems, fire/burglar alarms, Access Control, or HVAC systems. Devices can be interfaced using any of the following three (3) methods: serial RS-232 connection, digital I/O card, or directly to an Allegiant Switcher via the LTC 8059 MCS program. The Integration Server software is programmed to recognize events as they occur in real time from one or more systems, based upon one of the three (3) integration methods mentioned above. It then reacts to those events by sending commands to another system or systems.
Virtual Allegiant Satellite Application Software
The Virtual Allegiant Satellite Application (VASA) is Bosch's strategic product that allows existing Allegiant customers to transition gradually to pure IP technologies rather than a total and instantaneous replacement. VASA acts as the integration
EN | 12 |
Bosch Security Systems | December 13, 2005 |
LTC 8506/00 PC-to-Console Port RS-232 Cable
bridge between an existing Allegiant and the new digital based CCTV system (the 'satellite') that uses digital video encoders and decoders. With VASA, the new IP technology is totally transparent to the existing Allegiant users who continue to use their Intuikey CCTV keyboards for video switching and PTZ control on classic analog monitors.
VASA supports the Allegiant LTC 8100 through the LTC 8900 Series matrix switchers. In addition to PTZ control, VASA provides auxiliary and preposition control of the IP-based cameras. VASA improves the ROI on existing capital assets, removes the need for training, and reduces the risk for adopting new technology by incrementally adding to the system. The integration is seamless and the transition is designed to be imperceptible.
Allegiant Satellite Software Development Kit
The Allegiant Satellite Software Development Kit (SDK) is a fully supported set of libraries, documentation, and samples targeted at PC-based application software that is used to control 3rd party CCTV matrix systems or manage IP-based digital video networks. Since the SDK can be used to create customized solutions for unique, specific problems, customers looking to integrate an Allegiant matrix system with products offered by other manufacturers is readily accomplished. For the thousands of existing Allegiant customers, it also provides a bridge to integrate or expand their systems with IP based products gradually rather than a total and instantaneous replacement.
When operating in an Allegiant satellite system configuration, an Allegiant master generates switching and PTZ data that is typically used to control a remote Allegiant satellite matrix. Using the SDK, the video switching commands and PTZ data from the master system are converted into an ActiveX interface allowing developers to easily translate this information into formats used to control other original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) systems. The SDK also supports an ability to translate repetitive type Allegiant PTZ commands to their indefinite equivalents, resulting in reduced interface traffic and lower bandwidth demands when controlling IP based networks.
The level of integration available with the SDK results in a robust interface that provides transparent operation to the existing Allegiant operators. Operators continue to use their existing CCTV keyboards for selecting video and control of PTZ devices on the Allegiant monitors. This type of solution improves the return of investment on existing capital assets, removes the need for training, and reduces the risk for adopting new technology by incrementally adding to the system.
The SDK is compatible with all models of the Allegiant Series switchers. In addition to video switching commands and PTZ control, auxiliaries and prepositions are also supported. The SDK is supplied with five sample applications. Three (3) applications use C++ to demonstrate incorporating the SDK in a console, an ATL, and an
MFC application. In addition, samples using Visual Basic®, and Microsoft's .NET Framework are included.
6.22 LTC 8506/00 PC-to-Console Port RS-232 Cable
The LTC 8506/00 is an RS-232 grade cable with 9-pin D-connectors on each end that is used to connect an Allegiant's system's console port to a standard PC COM port. This cable is included in the Allegiant LTC 8059 MCS and the LTC 8850 Allegiant GUI packages. Length is approximately 3 m (10 ft).

7Installation Procedure
7.1Main CPU Bay Installation
Before discarding the shipping cartons, verify that the various pieces of equipment have no evidence of carrier damage.
CAUTION |
Do not apply power to the equipment until instructed to do so. |
1.Remove the front panel of the main CPU bay by loosening the four (4) corner fasteners.
2.Install the power supply in far right position of the main CPU bay insuring proper alignment and seating of the module into the rear mating connector. Verify that the power supply ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
3.Install the four (4) screws and star washers (supplied) on the rear panel of the bay(s) surrounding the power supply line cord to fasten the power supply securely in place.
CAUTION If the Allegiant card cage is to be transported, the main power supply should be removed to prevent possible damage to the bay's internal parts.
4.If the bay(s) are to be installed into a standard 19-inch EIA rack, remove the four (4) rubber bumper foot pads found on the bottom of the bay before installing the unit in the rack. Four (4) holes are provided for mounting the bay(s) in the rack.
7.2Video Input Modules
Termination switches on the Video Input Modules (VIM) must be set to the correct position prior to installation. If necessary, see Section 7.6 “Termination Practices,” on page 18 prior to actually installing the VIM on this system.
The appropriate number of VIMs should be installed in the main bay starting with the left most slot. If less than full capacity is being used, the modules should be inserted in a left-to-right manner so that the lower camera numbers are used first.
Figure 3: Typical Video Input Module Insertion
The VIMs are identical and are interchangeable within the designated VIM slots without having to make any changes to the module.

Bosch Security Systems | December 13, 2005 |
Video Output Modules
7.3Video Output Modules
Counting from left to right beginning with slot 9, install the appropriate number of Video Output Modules (VOM) into these slots. If fewer than the maximum number of VIMs are installed, there will be empty slots between the Input and the Output Modules, so make sure that the Output Modules are inserted into the correct slots.
Figure 4: Typical Video Output Module Insertion
All VOMs are identical and are interchangeable within the designated VOM slots.
7.4CPU Module
|
The slot to the left of the power supply in the main CPU bay is reserved for the sys- |
||
|
tem CPU module. |
||
NOTE |
The CPU module contains two (2) lithium batteries mounted on the component |
||
|
side of the printed circuit board. A red rectangular insulating tag may be |
||
|
installed in between the top of the batteries and the battery holder clip. This tag |
||
|
prevents battery drainage during stocking. Remove tag if so equipped. |

Figure 5: Typical CPU Module Insertion
Install the main bay CPU at this time.
The circuit board contains two (2) 8-position DIP switches for system configuration options. The DIP switches can be used to modify certain system operating conditions. Review the Factory Default Settings Section to determine if it is necessary to change the DIP switches from the factory default positions. For reference, the factory default settings are:
DIP Switch S1001 All OFF
DIP Switch S1002 Switch 5 ON, 7 ON, and 8 ON; All others OFF
EN | 17
7.5Camera and Monitor Video Connections
Refer to Figure 10 on page 28 for the next series of steps.
Connect the system cameras to the appropriate video inputs, but as a minimum connect one known operating camera to video input #1 on the rear of the main CPU bay. Use only those inputs that correspond to an installed VIM. Also connect desired monitors to the rear of the main CPU bay, ensuring to connect at least one monitor to video output #1. The video outputs are the left-most column of BNC connectors on the rear of the bay. Use only those outputs that correspond to an installed VOM.
7.6Termination Practices
Video from every video input signal must be “terminated” with a 75 ohm resistance. Each video line should be terminated exactly once. If video from a given camera is going to several different devices, only the last piece of equipment on the video line should be terminated. The following sections detail the ways that various Allegiant systems terminate video inputs.
LTC 8500 Series Video Terminations
Each LTC 8521/00 VIM card has an 8-position DIP switch for selecting the termination of each individual video line. To terminate an input line, make sure that the appropriate DIP switch on the VIM card is ON. If non-terminated operation is required for looping purposes, turn the switch OFF (Switch 1 corresponds to the first video input channel of the card).
The LTC 8500 Series main bays do not directly support video input looping connections. To attach video signals to inputs that will be looped on this system, a short piece of coax connected to a BNC "T" connector that has three (3) female ends is required.
Monitor Output Video Connections
Identical to camera inputs, monitor outputs on the Allegiant system are designed to be terminated. Each monitor output expects to be connected to a 75 ohm load. This is the regular load typically provided by a normal monitor. If a monitor output line is "looped" through several monitors or other equipment, the system installer should make sure that only the last unit on the line is terminated.
