4Description
These 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.
The LTC 8600 Series Allegiant system can handle up to 128 cameras and 16 moni­tors in a full crosspoint configuration. It can also accommodate 512 alarm points, up to 16 keyboards, a computer system console port, and a logging printer port.
The LTC 8800 Series Allegiant system can handle up to 256 cameras and 64 moni­tors in a full crosspoint configuration. It can also accommodate 1024 alarm points, up to 32 keyboards, a computer system console port, and a logging printer port.
These systems 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
provide operators with control of pan, tilt, zoom, multiple pre-positions, four (4) 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.
These systems include a 48-character on-screen display for time-date, camera num­ber, camera ID (16 characters), and monitor (12 characters) or status information. A user selectable option provides the ability to display a 3rd line of on-screen text. This 3rd line can be configured to display up to 24 additional camera title charac­ters (40 characters total) or a 12-character monitor title.
The on-screen display is also user selectable to operate in “6-digit Camera ID” mode. When enabled, 2-digit “site numbers” are displayed in addition to the 4-digit camera number. The 2-digit site number feature is especially useful when groups of cameras are located in separate buildings, floors, or other common areas.
When programming camera ID and monitor titles, over 1000 different characters are available.
Enhanced programming and switching features can be obtained by utilizing a stan­dard Windows
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 graphic-based interface. This software 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, and 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 LTC 8850/00 GUI Software can also be used to enable a special on-screen 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.
These systems 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.

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.
7.22 LTC 8850/00 Windows Based Graphical User Interface Software
The 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.
7.23 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:

7.23.1 Integration Server
The Integration Server is a versatile software package used to integrate multiple systems that are not ordinarily compatible with each other. These systems 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.
7.23.2 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 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.
7.23.3 Allegiant Satellite SDK
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 Framework are included.

7.24 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).
7.25 LTC 8508/01 Ribbon-to-BNC Interface Cable
The LTC 8508/01 is a 1 m (3 ft) video interface cable with a 34-pin ribbon cable on one end and 16 male BNC connectors on the other end. This cable can be used to loop up to 16-channels of video signals from digital video recorders such as the Divar, Dibos, and DesaXL, or other BNC equipped devices to the ribbon cable con­nectors located on the rear panels of the LTC 8600 and LTC 8800 Series bays.
7.26 Logging Printer
An optional RS-232 serial printer may be connected to these systems to provide a permanent record of significant system status changes. Time and date is printed for system events such as alarms, start-up after power failure, sequence loading, opera­tor log-on/log-off to keyboards, and download of information from the optional MCS. The printer may also be used to obtain hard copies of all system tables and sequences.
NOTE The printer port does not provide a standardized pin-out connection. If desired, a
cable can be made up at installation, by following the cable pin-out information pro­vided at the end of this manual.
