The LTC 8100 Series, LTC 8200 Series, and LTC 8300
Series Allegiant® video switcher/control systems
combine both switching and computer technology to
provide powerful performance and unique system
features for the security user. Offering full matrix
switching capability, these systems can be
programmed to display the video from any camera on
any monitor, either manually or via independent
automatic switching sequences.
These systems provide from 8 camera inputs, 2
monitor outputs to 32 camera inputs, 6 monitor
outputs, 2 to 4 keyboards, 8 to 32 direct connect
alarm input points, an integral signal distribution unit,
and a computer interface port. A logging printer port is
available in the LTC 8300 Series systems.
These systems can be programmed with up to 60
sequences which 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 group. Using the optional
LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software package or the
LTC 8850/00 Graphical User Interface software
package, sequences can be made to activate and
deactivate automatically based upon the time of day
and the day of week.
Utilizing the unit’s integral signal distribution ports,
connections to on-site receiver/drivers are easily
made. On-site receiver/drivers provide operator
control of pan, tilt, zoom; multiple pre-positions; four
auxiliaries; auto-pan, and random scan. These systems
also support variable speed operation and full
programming functions of AutoDome® Series dome
cameras.
When combined with an LTC 8016 Allegiant Bilinx™
Data Interface unit, these switcher/controllers support
operations using Bilinx communication. With Bilinx,
PTZ control is accomplished using a bidirectional
communication protocol embedded in the video signal
of Bosch Dinion™ and AutoDome® CCTV cameras. In
addition, Bilinx uses the standard video cable to
transmit alarm and status messages from the cameras,
providing superior performance without the need for
separate data transmission cables.
With their built-in alarm interface capability, an
external contact closure or logic level can be used to
automatically activate any camera to be displayed. Any
monitor or group of monitors can be set to display
cameras under alarm conditions. The base system
contains three built in alarm response modes: basic,
auto-build, and sequence & display. In addition to
these three modes, the PC-based software packages

offer the ability to combine any or all of the three
standard modes within the same system. 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
(sold separately). Built-in operator priority levels and
the ability to restrict certain operators from controlling
designated functions provide maximum flexibility.
These systems include a black outlined 48-character
on-screen display for time-date, camera number,
camera ID (16-characters), an icon to identify
controllable cameras, and monitor (12-characters) or
status information. Over 235 characters are available
when programming camera ID and monitor titles.
Utilizing a Windows®-based PC and the optional
LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software package or
LTC 8850/00 GUI software, enhanced programming
and switching features can be obtained. A userfriendly spreadsheet format provides the ability to
enter camera and monitor titles, program of operator
names and priorities, 64 timed event actions, 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 out directly from a
printer connected to the PC.
The LTC 8850/00 Bosch GUI software is designed
around an intuitive graphic-based interface. The GUI
provides high performance programming, control 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, keyboard actions, and video loss
information can be viewed in real time on the PC
screen and, if desired, logged to the PC hard drive.
The software also provides the ability to enable an onscreen indicator for easy identification of controllable
cameras.
The LTC 8300 Series contain a logging printer output
port which accepts a standard RS 232 serial printer.
This provides a permanent record of system status
showing time and date for changes such as: incoming
alarms, acknowledgment of alarms, sequence loading,
user log-on to keyboard, transfer of system tables and
sequences, video loss messages, and a power up reset
message. In addition, the printer can be used to obtain
a hard copy of the system's configuration tables and
sequences.
These systems provide powerful macro capabilities.
The macros can be activated using Allegiant Series
keyboards, system time event functions, alarm
activations, and via special function icons in the
LTC 8850/00 GUI software.
These systems can serve as the master switcher in a
SatelliteSwitch® configuration. This innovative
SatelliteSwitch feature enables a single system to
communicate with remotely located "Satellite"
systems. Any Allegiant model can serve as a master or
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 used in
this type of configuration, the main system can access
up to 256 cameras located anywhere in the system.
