Tab le 2. 2 Alarm Options and Video Processor Actions
1. Switches to FULL if 1 alarm is present. If multiple alarms are present, an alarm sequence starts with a dwell
time of 2 seconds. The sequence views (either FULL or QUAD) matches the user-programmed values in the
ALARM OPTIONS menu. The unit always returns to the view mode it was in prior to alarm event upon expiry of
the alarm event.
2. REC output follows the VIEW operation if the REC OUT MODE is set to SAME AS MONITOR otherwise it
remains in Quad mode. This option includes the operation described for MLUTIPLE ALARMS.
In addition to the functions above, you can enable alarm relays, trigger outputs, and the
beeper sound.
For example, CAM 1 and 3 are set to FULL and CAM 2 and 4 are set to QUAD and all 4 cameras
are in ALARM. The video processor displays the video images in this sequence:
CAM 1 FULL, QUAD, CAM 3 FULL, QUAD, CAM 1 FULL... until the alarm inputs are cleared.
Setting the Alarm Duration
The duration of the alarm mode is determined by one of the following conditions:
–If the duration of the alarm input is less than the Alarm Dwell Time, the unit remains in
the alarm mode for the entire Alarm Dwell Time.
–If the alarm input persists for longer than the Alarm Dwell Time, the unit remains in the
alarmed state only as long as the Alarm Dwell Time.
–If an Alarm Dwell Time is set to HOLD, the alarm remains active until an operator
acknowledges the alarm by pressing the appropriate Camera key or the SEQ/ALM key.
–If an Alarm Dwell Time is set to FOLLOW, the alarm remains active until the alarm input is
reset.
–Operators reset an alarm by pressing the corresponding Camera key.
–Operators reset all alarms simultaneously by pressing the SEQ/ALM key.
The LTC 2382/90 may be programmed to produce an alarm if the video signal to any of the
four camera inputs is lost or defective. (NOTE: Video Loss Alert must be ON for the respective

–Mode: Duplex
–Unit echoes received characters.
NOTICE! Control commands for the LTC 2382/90 Video Quad are identical to those for the
LTC 2376/LTC 2377 Quad. The wiring requirements and the baud rate, however, are different.
Using the RS-232 Protocol
Once the video processor is connected to the computer, you can use the RS-232 command
set to control the video processor. The RS-232 command set is broken into two groups:
–Front Panel Key Commands
–Parameter Set/Read Commands

RS-232 Front Panel Key Emulation
The RS-232 connection uses commands to emulate all Front Panel key functions. The table
below summarizes these commands:
You must terminate each command with either the standard 13 decimal return character or
the standard 0D hex return character.
Parameter Set/Read Commands
The RS-232 Parameter Set/Read commands allow you to set various parameters in the video
processor (time and date, for example) and allows the computer to read the video
processor’s Alarm/Video status.
The table below summarizes these commands:
Parameter Set/Read Commands

Tab le 2. 4 RS-232 Parameter Set/Read Commands
You must terminate each command with either the standard 13 decimal return character or
the standard 0D hex return character.
Setting the Time and Date over RS-232
Issue the following commands to set the time and date for the video processor:
Set the Time: !TIME hh mm ss [return char]
Set the Date: !DATE mm dd yy [return char]
The return character is the standard 13 decimal or 0x0D hex.
The numeric values for both the time and date commands must be in hexadecimal format as
shown below:
Hours:0x00 to 0x17
Minutes:0x00 to 0x3B
Seconds: 0x00 to 0x3B
Month:0x01 to 0x0C
Day: 0x1 to 0x1F
Year:0x00 to 0x63 (2000 to 2099)
For example, to set the time to 23:56:00 send the following command:
!TIME 17 38 0 [return char]
To set the Date to 21 January 2006 send the following commands:
!DATE 1 15 6 [return char]
Connecting Multiple Units
If there is only one video processor in the system, then the commands may be issued without
the Unit ID prefix. This prefix is necessary if multiple video processors are connected in a
daisy chain configuration to allow communication from a single PC/Terminal (see Figure 2.2
above). You set this prefix in the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu by configuring the UNIT ID
parameter.
You can address a particular unit directly by using the !ID command followed by the UNIT ID
number followed by the command. The UNIT ID number must contain three digits, therefore
the UNIT ID for unit number 1 is 001 and the UNIT ID for unit number twenty is 020.
The format of the command in a multiple unit configuration is:
!ID XXX CMD YYY
where:
!ID
–is the Unit ID Address Command.
XXX
–is the UNIT ID for the appropriate unit. This number must have three digits to match
a valid UNIT ID.
CMD
– is the command for the unit.
YYY
– is the parameter for the preceding command, if necessary.
If a unit with a matching ID is found it replies with the “>” character followed by a return
message.
For example, to set the Date to 21 January 2006 on Unit 012 send the following command:
!ID 012 !DATE 1 15 6 [return char]
Displaying a UNIT ID
To display the Unit ID on screen send the command !UI 1. Use this command to debug
commands. To turn off the UNIT ID display send the command !UI 0.
Broadcasting Commands to all Video Processors
To send a broadcast to all units in the chain use the UNIT ID of FFF. For example, to set the
time on all units to 23:56:00:
!ID FFF !TIME 17 38 0 [return char]

i
NOTICE! Each video processor receives this command in turn. The command is mirrored
through all processors and does not generate a return message.
Preventing UNIT ID Collision
If more than one unit has the same UNIT ID the system experiences a clash on the Bus. It is
the responsibility of the Master Controller to identify that there are two or more units with the
same Unit ID. The LTC 2382/90 echoes each character received on its RX (receiving) line and
on the TX (transmitting) line followed by the QUAD> prompt.
For example, if you set the time on unit 050 to 23:56:00:
!ID 050 !TIME 17 38 00<CR>
and the unit responds with
!ID 050 !TIME 17 38 00<CR>QUAD>
then, the command was received by only one Video Quad processor.
If two units, however, have the same UNIT ID the echo returned to the master controller
resembles the following:
!ID 050 !TIME 17 38 00<CR>QUAD>QUAD>
The two QUAD> prompts indicate that a UNIT ID collision exists and that the operator must
change one of the colliding UNIT ID numbers.
Remote Alarm and Video Loss Status
To read the video loss and the alarm status from individual units, issue the !S command. For
example, to check the status of unit 50, issue this command:
!ID 050 !S
The unit responds with a hexadecimal Status Byte. The table below summarizes the inputs for
which you can receive information and the status byte that the input returns:
D5- Video I/P 20x20
D6- Video I/P 30x40
D7- Video I/P 40x80
Tab le 2. 5 Remote Alarm and Video Loss Status
If the unit experiences a combination of triggered alarms and video loss alarms, the unit adds
the hexadecimal values for each bit and displays the total hexadecimal value. For example,
Alarm 3 (bit D2) and Alarm 4 (bit D3) are triggered, and Video 1 (bit D4) is in video loss on
unit ID 050. If you then issue the !S command:
!ID 050 !S
The unit returns:
QUAD> 1C
The unit arrives at the 1C hexadecimal value by adding 0x4 (status byte for bit D2), 0x8
(status byte for bit D3) and 0x10 (status byte for bit D4).
At times you may have to restore the factory default settings to the unit. To restore defaults:
1.Press and hold the PLAY key before applying power to the video processor.
2.Connect the power cord (turn on power) while continuing to hold the PLAY key for 5
seconds.
Once the system resets the defaults, the monitor displays:
