u 256 Camera by 64 monitor switching
u Expandable to larger matrix sizes
The LTC 8800 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.
Functions
General Construction
The LTC 8800 Series provide versatile modular
construction, accommodating up to 256 camera
inputs, 64 monitor outputs, 32 keyboards, 1024 alarm
points, a computer interface port, and a logging
printer port.
Sequencing Capabilities
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,
u Modular construction
u Powerful alarm handling capabilities
u SalvoSwitching and SatelliteSwitch capability
sequences can be made to activate and deactivate
automatically based upon the time of day and the day
of the week.
Camera Control
The LTC 8800 Series support variable speed operation
and full programming access for AutoDome and
AutoDome Easy II Series cameras. In addition, on-site
receiver/drivers are available to provide operator
control of pan, tilt, zoom, pre-positions, auxiliaries,
auto-pan, and random scan functions when used with
conventional pan/tilt devices. An integral local test
function is also a standard feature.
The LTC 8800 Series include an impressive user-based
priority system and a series of programmable lockout
tables to limit operator access of remotely controlled
devices. Operators can restrict control from lower
priority operators either manually or automatically.
When enabled to operate automatically, a built-in timeout period is user programmable.
Bilinx® Capability
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
Page 2
2 | LTC 8800 Series Allegiant Matrix/Control Systems - Modular
communication protocol embedded in the video signal
of Bosch Dinion, AutoDome, and AutoDome Easy II
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.
Alarm Capabilities
With the addition of the LTC 8540/00 Series alarm
interface accessory unit, 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 and display. In addition to these three
modes, the PC-based software packages now include
the ability to combine any or all 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.
Up to 32 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.
Programming/Software Capabilities
The LTC 8800 Series 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. A user selectable option provides
the ability to display a third line of on-screen text. This
third 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, 2digit "site numbers" are displayed in addition to the 4digit 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. Over 1000 characters are available when
programming camera ID and monitor titles.
Utilizing a standard Windows-based PC and the
optional LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software
package, enhanced programming and switching
features can be obtained. A user friendly spreadsheet
format provides the ability to enter camera titles,
operator names, or 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 out directly from a
printer connected to the PC.
The LTC 8800 Series contain a logging printer output
port. This RS-232 serial interface can be connected to
the serial port of a PC to provide a permanent record
of system status showing the time and date of changes
such as incoming alarms, acknowledgment of alarms,
loading of sequences, user log-on to keyboard,
transfer of system tables and sequences, video loss
messages, and a power up reset message. In addition,
lists of the system's configuration tables and
sequences can be sent to the printer port.
The LTC 8800 system provides powerful macro
capabilities. The macros can be activated using
Allegiant Series system keyboards, system time event
functions, and alarm activations.
Expansion Capabilities
The LTC 8800 Series can serve as the master switcher
in a SatelliteSwitch configuration. This innovative
SatelliteSwitch feature enables a single LTC 8800
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 large distributed type
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 LTC 8800 system can
access up to 2048 cameras located anywhere in the
system.

LTC 8808/00 Video Interconnect Panel
NOTE: Use of the LTC 8808/00 assemblies are required for system
video inputs 97 to 256 and must be purchased separately. The
LTC 8808/00 assembly contains an interconnect panel which is used to
convert 32 BNC connectors into two 16- channel ribbon cable
connectors. The two, 16-conductor ribbon cables (LTC 8809/00),
designed especially for use with video signals, and are then used to
interconnect the video between the panel and the LTC 8800 Series
system. In addition to being used for video inputs 97 to 256, the
LTC 8808/00 assembly can also be ordered as an option to provide
looping output capability. For looping purposes, one LTC 8808/00
(includes one panel and two ribbon cables) is required for each group of
32 cameras.
