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,
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

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, 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. 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.
