Overview
The ZSC-1000 is primarily a unit for distributing telemetry and control information. However, as the distributor
of this information, it also uses this opportunity to add functionality and flexibility to the system.
The unit has a number of external ports, all of which have primary functions described below.
Due to the flexibility of the ZSC-1000, with careful design an installer can tailor the application of each port to
meet his requirement.
ZVK Port
This port is used for communications within the control room. Generally local equipment that is either
generating control commands or within the control room receiving control commands.
Examples of such equipment are keyboards, multiplexer and VCR interfaces, and contact alarm input cards.
ZVM Port
This port is used for communication to matrices. As a core item of equipment, the matrix has a dedicated
port.
Intersite Port
This port is used for communications between sites and control rooms. It is very rare that this port has an
application for anything other than connection to another site controller.
ZVR Ports
These ports are used for communications with telemetry receivers and / or domes situated external to the
control room.
The four ports can be driven independently.
PC1 Port
This port is used for communications with 3rd party equipment that, generally, operates independently of an
operator.
Examples of such equipment are Rugby Clocks, Alarm Panels and Help Points.
PC2 Port
This port is primarily used for communications with Meyertech diagnostic and configuration equipment. It has
a number of secondary uses:
• An input for Meyertech Series 2 alarms.
• An interface to Fusion.
• An interface to third party equipment.
Interface to 3rd party Equipment
The interface operates in the same way as a ZSC-250.
The communications protocol supported on the PC2 port is documented in the published ZoneVu
protocol documents.
It is requirement to log on to the site controller using an Equipment Identification Key.
Keys and protocol are available by request from Meyertech Ltd.

Features
Multi-site Operation
Intersite connections can be used to integrate separate CCTV systems in order to share their resources.
An intersite connection consists of a data link for exchanging commands, and one or more Video paths for switching
video between sites.
Data
The most common method of connecting two site controllers is with an RS485 half-duplex serial bus.
• this is the default connection used to carry all commands to and from a remote site
• connects from the intersite port (In or Out) of one controller to the intersite port (In or Out) of another.
• In and Out connections are bridged internally to allow easy wiring of many controllers in a chain.
Where only a simplex RS485 or RS422 connection is available to a remote site, this may be used for the intersite
connection with some loss of functionality.
• control negotiation will not take place between local & remote operators
• status will not be available of latched functions (e.g. wipe, lamp) on remote receivers
• Uncontrolled telemetry must be set in the Enables section at the remote site
• remote site must be set to Rx only in it’s Intersite Port section
• a site controlling such a remote, must have it marked as Simplex in it’s Site Routing section
Alternatively, point to point connections can be made between sites over RS232 using the PC2 or PC1 ports.
• the site number of a remote connected in this way should be marked in the Site Routing section of the
configuration as Route through PC1 Port or Route through PC2 Port.
Sites integrated together using Meyertech dial-up equipment (such as the ZSI-320 ISDN interface) are connected and
configured differently. See section below on Dialup sites.
Video
Video connections between sites are referred to as trunks and are managed transparently by the site controllers.
A trunk is normally fed from an output of the matrix at one site (A) to an input on the matrix at a second site (B). This
trunk must then be configured under Output trunks at site A, and Input trunks at site B.
When an operator selects a remote site, the first available trunk is displayed on his monitor, and used for subsequent
camera selections from that site
• a trunk is classed as available if it is not currently being displayed on any monitor
• if all trunks are in use, the least recently switched trunk is displayed and the operator notified ‘Trunk Denied’
• When a trunk is denied, the operator has the option to override this; his camera selection will then replace that
viewed on the other monitor using the trunk.
• if Camera Mapping is used to select remote cameras without entering the site, the trunk is automatically
assigned at each switch. If a trunk is already viewing the chosen camera, it will be favoured to save capacity.
A site with no matrix, can be setup to display input trunks directly on monitors. The correct trunk will be selected
according to the monitor used.
• configure each monitor separately under the matrix configuration section (see below), assigning each a single
input number
• configure each input trunk with the input number assigned to it’s monitor above
Dialup sites
Connections made over dialup links, are managed automatically by the site controller.
All cameras connected this way, whether connected individually or through a remote matrix, are selected using a remote
site number.
Each remote connection (video & data) provided by a ZSI-320 or similar dialup device is configured as a separate input
trunk. The MAC address of the dialup device is entered in the input trunk configuration, marking it as a dialup trunk.
Where a dialup device is used to connect to multiple sites, the input trunk is configured with any of the remote site
numbers. The other sites using the dialup device are indicated in the Dialup Sites section.
ZSC-1000 User Manual.doc Issue 18 Page 12 of 46
MEYERTECH LIMITED
ZSC-1000
Dialup trunks are connected on demand. When a dialup site is selected, the first unused dialup trunk is displayed and the
remote site automatically dialled. The connection will be maintained until the trunk is no longer displayed i.e. the
operator has selected a different site.
Multiple Matrixes
It is not considered normal within the Zonevu system to assign multiple separate matrixes to the same controller. Rather
they would normally be assigned to their own controller & viewed as a separate site (see Multi-site Operation above).
It is possible however to assign multiple matrixes of certain types to a single site.
In the matrix list, each matrix is given a unique monitor range and usually a unique camera range also.
The controller will then match the monitor & camera ranges selected to the correct matrix. If there is an overlap, both
matrixes will be switched.
Linking multiple matrixes
Where more than one matrix is being used on a site, it is possible to make ‘trunk’ connections between them to allow the
inputs from one, to be viewed on the outputs of the other.
These trunk connections must be configured in both the Input & Output trunk tables in order that the controller can
automatically assign them, to save the operator having to make two switches to view a camera.
This is setup in the same way as remote video trunks except that the site number of each trunk in the input & output
trunk tables must match the site number assigned to the controller (on the Intersite Port setup).
Camera Mapping
Where a system has been split between multiple sites, but it is desirable to mask this architecture from the operator,
Camera Mapping can be used to give the appearance of a traditional system. It can also be used to accommodate nonstandard camera numbering or remote connection schemes.
Masking remote site numbers
A Range of camera numbers (usually those that are beyond the range of the local matrix), can be used to reference
cameras at another site. This removes the need for the operator to select a site number, and the keyboards can have their
site selection disabled.
Using this method of selecting remote cameras allows the controller to make better use of capacity by re-using trunks if
different operators choose the same remote camera. The operator has no control over or knowledge of the trunk used,
and will not be warned before overriding a trunk when all are in use.
Where the trunks from a remote site are not fully switched it may be necessary to specify different trunks for different
camera ranges. This could arise where trunks are fed from separate matrixes or multiplexers at a remote site. To
accommodate this the trunk number can be specified for a camera range instead of the site number. The site number
being mapped to is implied through the trunk configuration.
Re-numbering cameras
A further use of the Camera Mapping is to alter the camera numbering scheme within a site. A range of camera numbers
may be mapped to a different range within the same site, by mapping to site 0.
Camera Mapping can be used to re-number both camera selection and control. By re-numbering one without the other
mismatches between the telemetry address of a receiver & the matrix input number it connects to can be corrected.
However to ensure full functionality, Meyertech recommends that such offsets are not introduced into a system.
Scope
The camera mapping tables are applied to commands received from a local or remote operator.
Commands generated automatically by the site controller are mostly not subject to mapping and are configured with the
actual matrix input, or telemetry addresses. These include:
• Trunk inputs / outputs
• Camera barring
• Camera alarms: both configuration & reporting of camera alarms is based on the receiver address
• Receiver setup
The following exceptions will accept mapped camera numbers in the configuration, and will adjust them as necessary:
• Alarm Events
• Timed Events
• Sequences

Prioritised camera control
Each keyboard (or PC) attached to the controller is configured with a priority level for camera control. When two
keyboards try to control the same camera, the controller will grant control to the higher priority keyboard or, if the
priorities are the same, the first keyboard to attempt to control the camera.
If two keyboards on different sites try to control the same camera the same method is used in assigning control; however
the priority levels used are those assigned to the site controllers rather than the keyboards. This intersite priority level is
configured in the Site control section.
An exception is where a local and remote keyboard are in conflict for use of a local camera. The relative priorities of the
site controllers can be overriden using the ‘Prioritise local keyboards’ option within the Enables section.
The control record for a camera is normally held by the site controller driving it’s telemetry. However if telemetry is
routed through a matrix which has more than one controller attached (i.e. PC or keyboard control direct to the matrix),
then the matrix must become the authoritative controller.
This is configured by the controller option in the ZVM Port section.
When an operator has control of a camera, it will not normally be released until he takes action on the keyboard to do
so. However the controller is capable of removing camera control from an operator when the camera has not been used
for a given time period. This feature is highly recommended where operators on a remote site have access to camera
control, as it allows automatic release of a camera to the local operator should the remote link fail. Configuration of this
is found in the Site control section.
Telemetry Distribution
The normal method of telemetry distribution is through the controller’s ZVR ports.
The Camera Telemetry configuration section can also be used to route telemetry through alternative ports.
• The most common requirement is to make use of the VICTA (down the coax) transmission capabilities of a matrix,
by setting the port to ZVM.
• Alternatively PC1 port may be used where a 3rd party telemetry controller is in use
Sequences
Sequencing allows one monitor to display several cameras by automatically cycling through different cameras. Note that
a sequence operation is normally associated with a matrix. All Meyertech matrices support running sequences and this
feature is intended for running sequences across sites or on 3rd party equipment that doesn’t support this feature.
The ZSC extends the sequence functionality by allowing the definition of a preset position for each camera.
The ZSC sequence features:
• 32 configurable sequences
• A maximum of 32 steps in each sequence.
• Each sequence has a configurable dwell time, which affects all the steps in the sequence.
As well as the configurable sequences there is one fixed sequence, which sequences through all the inputs on the primary
matrix. This has a configurable dwell time and is selected by choosing sequence 0.
By default all the sequences are disabled (set to zero length), but are configured with cameras 1 to 32 on the local site
with a dwell time of 3 seconds, and no presets.
Whilst the sequence is disabled, all sequence commands will be directed to the matrix associated with the selected
monitor for actioning.
Once started, each sequence will run until stopped by an operator. Should the power be interrupted to the controller, the
sequence/s will re-start at the first position after a short delay.
See later section for details of configuration using Mpower.
It is possible to have a mixture of cameras from local or remote sites although it is important that the number of remote
sites cameras configured in separate sequences does not exceed the number of trunks.

Operation
Starting A Sequence
A sequence may be selected from the keyboard by selecting the desired monitor and then selecting the
sequence you wish to run on that monitor. When a sequence is started all the sequences are synchronised. The
purpose of this is so that sequences with the same dwell time switch synchronously. The user will see all
running sequences return to their first position.
It is possible to have 32 sequences running at the same time, though to maintain performance it is
recommended that no more than 8 sequences are run at any one time.
Preset positions in a sequence
Where the preset number for a step in a sequence is anything other than 255, the site controller will attempt to
send the camera to a preset position, as that camera is switched in the sequence.
Control will be requested first, using a priority of 2. If a lower priority keyboard has control of the camera, it
will be told to submit. If an equal or higher priority keyboard has control, the preset will not be sent.
As soon as the preset command has been sent, control of the camera will be released.
Manual Advance and Rewind
Whilst sequences are running, it is possible to manually step forward and backwards through the sequences that
are running (note that all running sequences advance and rewind at the same time). Stepping through the
sequences does not stop them from running.
Stopping A Sequence
A sequence can be stopped by either of 2 methods:
• Select the monitor and then select a camera to display on the monitor. This overrides any sequence
that is running on that monitor.
• Select the monitor running the sequence and press the SEQ STOP key (if supported on keyboard).
Timed Events
This feature allows the configuration of certain actions to automatically occur at specified times of the day.
The ZSC timed events feature:
• Up to 128 events.
• Preset event
• Patrol event (Random preset, ordered preset or Mimic)
• Control event (used to lock a camera)
• Alarm event
• Camera switch
• VCR record
Before any camera command is sent, the ZSC will request control of that camera with a fixed priority of 2.
If control is not granted within 3 seconds, the command will not be sent.
Control is released as soon as the command has been sent.
See later section for details of configuration using Mpower.
Embedded Firmware Drivers (EFD)
The ZSC supports an extensive range of 3rd party equipment. These are implemented as Embedded Firmware Drivers
(EFD). The required EFDs should be specified at time of purchase.
Due to the continual development of new EFDs the current range of supported equipment and features available can be
obtained by requesting the following documents from Meyertech Sales.

Alarm Handling
Alarm definition
An alarm is individually identified by three values:
• Alarm Type Alarms are classified in three different types
Camera: all alarms generated at a camera receiver
Panel: alarms generated by contact alarm, or third party serial alarm panels
Peripheral: alarm generated by various types of Meyertech peripheral equipment, e.g.
Vcr interfaces, remote site interfaces.
• Alarm Device The alarm device usually indicates the address of the device generating the alarm,
depending on the type of the alarm. Device 0 represents all devices of a particular type (i.e. global
mapping)
• Alarm Number The actual number of the alarm circuit on the alarmed device. Number 0 represents
all alarms on a particular device(i.e. global mapping).

Configuration
Intersite Port
This port is designated for communication between site controllers at permanently connected sites.
Site
The number that defines which site the unit controls. This site number is used as the units address.
The range is 1 to 100.
Default = 1
Remote Station
Defines how this unit talks to other site controllers.
Duplex sets the inter-site communications to bi-directional and this site controller will both send and receive
messages.
Rx only sets the inter-site communications to simplex and this site controller will only receive messages.
Default = Duplex
Baud Rate
Defines the baud rate at which the inter-site communications occurs.
Valid values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 28800, 38400,57600 and 128000.
9600 is recommended for systems of less than 6 site. Greater than 6 sites should use 19200. With many
active sites (i.e. operators at multiple sites controlling remote cameras) 57600 may give a better
performance.
Default = 9600
Turnaround Time
Also known as the transmit hold-off time, this configurable delay is designed to maximise compatibility with
different transmission media (such as fibre optics, radio etc).
Smaller values allow faster communications between sites, but require the transmission equipment to switch
between receive & transmit states quicker.
Value is configured in microseconds in the range 1 to 65535
Default = 4000
Priority
Bandwidth on the intersite port is allocated according to relative priorities.
On networks with more than 16 sites, it is recommended to set the satellite sites to Medium or Low priority, to
improve the performance at main control rooms when controlling cameras over the intersite network.
Options : High, Medium or Low.
Default = High

Camera Mapping
Camera mapping allows remote cameras to be accessed without having to use a site number. This is
particularly useful in older systems where the operator keyboards may not support the selection of sites.
It can also be used to assign a different matrix input number and / or telemetry address to the camera
number selected by the operator.
See the Camera Mapping description in the Features section of the manual for a more detailed explanation.
Index sets the position of each mapping in the list, starting at 0 up to 255 (or 19 for ZSC-1000 & ZSC-500).
The order of mappings is not relevant, however if gaps are left in the list the ‘First Camera’ should be nonzero if further mappings follow.
Map Video
When enabled, all switches for cameras in the range are re-mapped.
Select this if the matrix input does not match the camera number selected by the operator.
Default = disabled
Map Telemetry
When enabled, all camera control requests and telemetry control for cameras in the range are re-mapped.
Select this if the receiver’s telemetry address does not match the camera number selected by the operator.
Default = disabled
First camera

To change the operating mode, see the “Set Mode” event, on the alarm events tab.
Default = 1
Dialup Sites
Each site in the range 1 to 100 can be configured as a dialup site.
This works in combination with a dialup trunk (Input or Output trunk) setting. All sites set to dialup will share
the same dialup trunk(s). As well as dialup sites, this setting is also used more in a more generic sense to
indicate that the site is dynamically routed (e.g. when it is dynamically routed over IP using a ZSI-450).

The ZSC-1000 incorporates a fully featured alarm handling system. It is fully configurable for alarm sources,
alarm actions and alarm reports. See the Alarm Handling section for more information on how alarms
operate.
Alarm definition
An alarm is individually identified by three values:
Type
Alarms are classified in three different types
Camera: all alarms generated at a camera receiver
Panel: alarms generated by contact alarm, or third party serial alarm panels
Peripheral: typically alarms generate through ZVS-MSI-xxx interfaces from e.g. DVRs
Alarm Config Site
The site the alarm originated from.
Default = Local
Device
The alarm device usually indicates the address of the device generating the alarm, depending on the
type of the alarm. Device 0 represents all devices of a particular type (i.e. global mapping)
Default = 0
Number
The actual number of the alarm circuit on the alarmed device. Number 0 represents all alarms on a
particular device(i.e. global mapping)
Default = 0
For each alarm, in the range 0 to 499 :
Event
The alarm event number associated with this alarm. This event will be actioned on this alarm being raised.
Multiple alarms can all reference the same alarm event
Default = 0
Priority
The priority that this alarm should have , in the range 1 to 8
Default = 1
Group
Assigns a group number to the alarm. This group number will be used to determine which alarm monitors will
be used to display the alarm.
An alarm can only belong to one group. Alarms that are listed for multiple events will take their group number
from their first entry in the list.
See Global Alarm section for further details on alarm monitors.
Default = 1

Alarm Events
The ZSC-1000 incorporates a fully featured alarm handling system. It is fully configurable for alarm sources,
alarm actions and alarm reports. See the Alarm Handling section for more information on how alarms
operate.
Alarm events are the actions that can be configured to occur on the raising of a new alarm.
For each alarm event, in the range 0 to 500

Default = On
Primary Action
Action
One of the following actions can be performed on the selected camera (No action, Preset, Walk,
Patrol, Random, Relay On, Relay Off, Relay Pulse, Set Mode)
Default = No action
Note: Relay Actions
If the Primary Action Camera is on a remote site, the relay is also actioned remotely.
Relay Pulse – Relay will switch on and then switch off after 1 second.
The Relay number is entered via the field entry box.

Default = 99
Remote Site
Report the alarm to a remote site (specified in global alarm section)
Default = Off
Notes
If no reporting is specified for all events assigned to an alarm, it will not be seen by any operator and
cannot therefore be cancelled. Such alarms will not be placed on the alarm Queue.
An event with no actions or reporting specified can be used to exclude alarms from a global mapping.
When a blank event is assigned to an alarm, any events assigned further down the alarm list will be
ignored.

Camera Barring
Camera barring allows camera ranges, either locally or across sites, to be barred to some operators.
When a camera is included in one of the 20 ranges, it can only be selected by operators who meet the priority
criteria.
To make a camera available to several individual priorities, it can be included in more than one range.
When a barred camera is selected, as well as notifying the keyboard, the site controller will either leave the
current monitor selection, or switch to a fixed input. This behaviour is defined in the Enables section.
Note : Camera barring does not apply to the highest priority level of 9.
For each camera bar, in the range 0 to 19

Please refer to Meyertech Limited ‘Terms & Conditions of Sale of Goods & Services’ for interpretation.
1. If the Buyer establishes to the Seller's reasonable satisfaction that there is a defect in the materials or workmanship of the
Goods manufactured, then the Seller shall at its option, at its sole discretion and within a reasonable time,
a. arrange for the repair or making good such defect or failure in such Goods free of charge to the Buyer (including all
costs of transportation of any Goods or materials to and from the Buyer for that purpose),
b. replace such Goods with Goods which are in all respects in accordance with the Contract, or
subject, in every case, to the remaining provisions of this Condition 1 provided that the liability of the Seller under this
Condition 1 shall in no event exceed the purchase price of such Goods and performance of anyone of the above options shall
constitute an entire discharge of the Seller's liability under this warranty.
2. Condition 1 shall not apply unless the Buyer:
a. notifies the Seller in writing of the alleged defect within 12 (twelve) months from delivery or such other period or
periods as may be agreed in writing between the Seller and the Buyer, and
b. allows the Seller a reasonable opportunity to inspect the relevant Goods.
3. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall be under no liability under the warranty in Condition 1 above:
a. where such defects arise from any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Buyer; or
b. where such defects arise from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, or negligence of a party other than the Seller (or
its employees or authorised personnel), abnormal working conditions, failure to follow the Seller's instructions
(whether oral or in writing), misuse or alteration or repair of the Goods without the Seller's approval; or
c. where such defects arise in parts, materials or equipment which have not been manufactured or designed by the
Seller but have been purchased at the Buyer's request by the Seller from the Buyer's designer and manufacturer or
from some other third party (the “Third Party Supplier”).
d. if the total price of the Goods has not been paid by the due date for payment
e. in respect of any type of defect, damage or wear specifically excluded by the Seller by notice in writing: or
f. if the Buyer makes any further use of the Goods after giving notice in accordance with Clause 1
4. Any repaired or replaced Goods shall be redelivered to the Buyer free of charge to the original point of delivery but otherwise
in accordance with and subject to these Conditions.
5. Alternatively to Condition 1 the Seller shall be entitled at its absolute discretion on return of the defective Goods to the Seller
(at the Seller's request) to refund the price of the defective Goods in the event that such price shall already have been paid
by the Buyer to the Seller, or, if such price has not been paid, to relieve the Buyer of all obligation to pay the sum by the issue
of a credit note in favour of the Buyer in the amount of such price.
6. In respect of all Goods supplied to the Seller by a Third Party Supplier the Seller will on request pass on to the Buyer (in so
far as reasonably possible) the benefit of any warranty given to the Seller by such Third Party Supplier and will (on request)
supply to the Buyer details of the terms and conditions of such warranty and copies of any relevant product information
sheets, technical data sheets or product leaflets issued by such Third Party Supplier and the Buyer shall be solely
responsible to the entire exclusion of the Seller for complying with the same.
7. For the purposes of Condition 1 references to Goods shall be deemed to exclude software.
8. The Buyer acknowledges that software in general is not error-free and agrees that the existence of such errors in the
Software Programs shall not constitute a breach of this Contract.

in accordance with the Functional Specification, or the Licensed Programs not performing substantially in accordance with
the relevant Program Documentation and notifies the Seller of the error within 90 days from the date of the Seller making
available the respective software to the Buyer (the `warranty period") the Seller shall at its sole option either refund the price
which the Buyer has paid to the Seller (or if such price has not been paid, relieve the Buyer of all obligations to pay the sum)
in respect of the respective software or use all reasonable endeavours to correct by patch or new release (at its option) that
part of the software which does not so comply provided that such non-compliance has not been caused by any modification,
variation or addition to the software not performed by the Seller or caused by its incorrect use, abuse or corruption of the
software by use of the software with other software or on equipment with which it is incompatible,
10. To the extent permitted by English law, the Seller disclaims all other warranties, with respect to the software which it provides
pursuant to the Contract, either express or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of satisfactory quality or
fitness for any particular purpose.
