1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

MAXPRO-Net combines custom designed software with a high performing Windows 2003 Server resulting in Honeywell's Turn Key Centralized Management Console Server. MAXPRO-Net is designed for system configuration, system management and system monitoring of Honeywell's crosspoint matrix video switchers.
Using a system keyboard, an operator can select various cameras for display on the available video display monitors. Where cameras have pan/tilt/lens control, the operator can move the camera remotely via the joystick and other keys on the system keyboard.
Digital video recorders, videocassette recorders, motion detectors, and other video processing equipment can all be incorporated into the crosspoint matrix video switching system and can be remotely controlled from the system keyboard. External alarm inputs can be programmed to select cameras and operate the video system automatically. Cameras can also be electronically monitored to verify valid video signal levels. In the event of a camera failure, the system can automatically manage, respond to, and record the failure.
CHAPTER 1:
OVERVIEW
External equipment to the matrix video switching system can also be controlled using auxiliary control output circuits. For example, electric door latches or a boom-gate control could all be available directly from the system keyboard. The MAXPRO-Net Crosspoint Matrix Video Switching System has been designed to cater to a large variety of applications, including your own specific system requirements.
Rev. A 1-1 HMXMU001056 03/16/05

1.2 SYSTEM KEYBOARDS

The system keyboard, along with text message information (available via the video display monitors), is used by the operator to control the MAXPRO-Net Crosspoint Matrix Video Switcher.
Depending on the size of the video system, there could be up to thirty-two (32) keyboards connected to the system. They can all operate the system at the same time and still be totally independent of each other. There are two types of keyboard available.
1. The HEGS5300 enhanced keyboard.
2. The HEGSA002 ULTRAKey keyboard.
Refer to the specific user manual for your controller.

1.3 OTHER EQUIPMENT

The MAXPRO-Net Crosspoint Matrix Switcher System incorporates a variety of subrack equipment to perform video switching and control of the entire system. As the actual elements of equipment used in each system can vary dramatically, it is impossible to describe your system's exact configuration in this manual.
Your system probably contains:
several Video Switching Modules,
several Post-Text Inserter Modules,
many fixed (non movable) cameras,
several PTZ (movable) cameras with preset views,
several VCR/DVR and PTZ control output modules,
possibly PTZ and VCR/DVR Control Output Modules,
external Alarm Input Modules,
various subracks (containing modules), power supplies, and a server CPU,
keyboards.

1.4 ASSUMPTIONS MADE BY THIS MANUAL

To discuss the operation of the MAXPRO-Net, we have assumed that your video system has at least:
1 x keyboard, and
post-text insertion on at least one video display monitor.
Rev. A 1-2 HMXMU001056 03/16/05

1.5 CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL

During the course of this manual, icons and examples are used, wherever possible, to help illustrate certain points.

1.5.1 Keystrokes

Actual keys, used on the keyboard to perform certain functions, will be represented in our examples, by icons of the respective keys.
for example,
or
.. represents the 'Alarm Clear' key.

1.6.2 Numerical Range

The video system consists of numerous video input and output channels. As such, the icon, Ù, within brackets, will be used to represent the permitted range for numerical selection.
for example, (01 Ù 99) represents the permitted numerical range as 01 to 99,

1.6.3 Points to Take Note of

Points that you should be aware of will be highlighted to you in the form of a box as shown below.
NOTE: You should pay attention to points highlighted in paragraphs like this.
There will be areas (control of cameras, monitors, and so on) in the video system that are restricted to some operators. Such areas, although discussed in this manual, will be preceded by the message:
.. represents the '0' key,
, Access denied to some operators
Rev. A 1-3 HMXMU001056 03/16/05

1.6.4 Monitor messages

Every monitor can display, in its text message window, the current time/date, camera description and operator name. These parameters would be defined during the setting up of the system's configuration.
In addition to these, other messages that report alarm conditions or system status will also be displayed. These special messages will also appear in the text message window, usually above the normal text messages mentioned earlier.
These special messages will be presented in this manual as the following icon:

1.6 MANUFACTURER'S NOTE

If you are experiencing any difficulties with your MAXPRO-Net Crosspoint Matrix Video Switching System, or may have some useful information to relate back to us, kindly contact your local distributor.
Our distributors are very carefully selected. They are provided with complete technical support and training to ensure the highest possible standard of service.

CHAPTER 2:
GETTING STARTED

2.1 ENTERING YOUR SELECTION NUMBERS HOW AND WHY?

For nearly all keyboard operations discussed in this manual, an associated numeric entry must be made. For example, when selecting a camera or setting the dwell for a scan sequence.
The required number is typed in, using the SELECTION PAD on the keyboard. When the number entered is shorter in length than expected (that is, less digits than expected),
then the
An Example:
If the maximum Camera Number used on the system is, as an example, Camera 20, the system would then always expect 2 digit camera numbers to be entered in selecting any camera.
To select camera 19, the operator must press the following keys:
If you wish to select camera 1, the operator must press:
As an alternative:
key must be pressed to indicate that the number entered is complete.
will also select camera 1.
In this case, as the required number of digits was pressed, the required.
When there are less than ten possible selections (that is, 0 Ù 9), a single digit is pressed to make the selection.

Rev. A 2-3 HMXMU001056 03/16/05

2.4 CONTROLLING A CAMERA PTZ

To operate a camera PTZ site, the following must first be true.
you must currently be selecting a monitor,
the monitor must be displaying the desired camera,
the desired camera must have PTZ equipment fitted.
Camera pan, tilt, focus, and zoom control functions are detailed below. They are the same on both the RD-500 and RD-530 keyboards.
PAN LEFT .. by pushing (and holding) the joystick towards the Left. Releasing the joystick will halt the pan function.
PAN RIGHT .. by pushing (and holding) the joystick towards the Right. Releasing the joystick will halt the pan function.
TILT UP .. by pushing (and holding) the joystick towards the Up mark. Releasing the joystick will halt the tilt function.
TILT DOWN .. by pushing (and holding) the joystick towards the Down mark. Releasing the joystick will halt the tilt function.
NOTE: The Tilt Up and Down functions, may be reversed, depending on your system's configuration.
If the MANUAL-IRIS or WASH/WIPE options are fitted to the camera PTZ site, then the following PTZ functions can also be used:
Rev. A 2-4 HMXMU001056 03/16/05

2.4.1 Other PTZ functions

The following PTZ functions may be available as well provided the keyboard being used supports the function. Refer to your specific keyboard user manual.

NOTE: With the proper equipment installed, PTZ sites can have variable speed controls for the Pan/Tilt and Focus/Zoom functions.
