Introduction

Note: Read all of the instructions completely before installing this equipment.

This manual provides information on the installation of the Matrix 66™ Super-High-Density Switcher, including the installation of the V6680SCC-16-1A or V6680SCC-32-1A card cages and connections to other equipment. Matrix 66 is a microprocessor-based video switching system that routes video signals from a specified camera position to a specified monitor. The front and rear of the Matrix 66 card cage is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

Matrix 66 Front and Rear Panels

The card cage can accept up to 256 camera inputs and can route the video to 16 monitor outputs. Alternatively, a single card cage system can route video to 32 monitors if the maximum number of camera inputs is limited to 128. Each card cage houses up to 4 video switcher cards, each of which can accept 64 video inputs.

The Matrix 66 card cage is supplied with a mother board and a power supply. The other internal components include video switcher cards, video amplifier card(s) and expander card(s), which are installed according to the system size requirements. The specific combination of these cards in a card cage and the number of card cages required for a system are determined by the size and configuration of the video system it is supporting.

X824-05-02 Rev 307 Matrix 66 Introduction • 1

The maximum number of cameras and monitors a system can support depends upon the type of control system used.

One of three control systems must be used with the Matrix 66: the NOVA V1500 control system, NOVA V1300 control system or the NOVA V1466A control system. The V1300 or V1500 must be used if the system size is to exceed 256 cameras, 32 monitors (more than two card cages). The V1300 or V1500 is an external control system that may include the Matrix 66 as one of its CCTV components. If a V1300 or V1500 control system is used to control the Matrix 66, a decoder board is required to be inserted in the slot where the CPU is normally located. The V1466A is an internal printed circuit card that is installed into the Matrix 66 card cage. External components, such as keypads, receivers and alarm devices are always connected directly to the control system. In Figure 2, the Matrix 66 is controlled by the V1466A card and therefore the external CCTV components are connected to the card cage. Note that if the control system is the V1300 or the V1500, all of the external components and the first Matrix 66 card cage are connected directly to the V1300 or V1500. Refer to Figure 2A.

This system should only be installed by a qualified technician using common hand tools and approved materials and wiring methods in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, state and local wiring codes. All interconnecting equipment or accessories must be UL Listed. Any mention in this manual of alarm inputs/outputs have not been evaluated by UL to be used for burglar alarm functionality.

Preparation

Installing the Matrix 66 in a Rack

The card cage is designed for mounting in a standard 19-inch rack (EIA standard RS-310). Perform the following procedure to install the card cage in a rack.

Note: It is recommended that two installers work together to mount the card cage(s) in the rack.

1. Plan the layout of the equipment in the racks before installing any equipment. Note that if the V1466A card will be installed in the system, a keyboard must be connected to the card cage. The placement of the keyboard should be considered in the layout; the card cage should be positioned so that the attached keyboard is accessible.

2. Allow a minimum of 1.75 inches of vertical rack space between racked components for ventilation. Racked components that are a single EIA rack unit in height (1.75 in.) may be grouped in pairs, each pair being separated from other components by 1.75 inches.

3. The manufacturer of the racking console may or may not include screws for attaching the racked components to the console. Determine if they will be supplied. If not, be sure to have an adequate supply of UNF-standard No. 10-32” 3/8 screws for installation.

4. Take an inventory of all rack equipment including hardware, brackets, etc. Reorder any missing parts immediately. This avoids delays in the middle of the assembly process.

5. Some rack manufacturers supply special mounting hardware. Determine how this hardware is to be used before attempting to install any racked equipment.

6. Use at least one blower/fan per rack. Place it in the bottom of the rack so that air is drawn in at the bottom of the rack and vented at the top.

7. One installer should position the rack while a second installer secures it to the front standard.

Tools Required

Vicon does not supply the tools needed in the installation process. If the control system is the internal V1466A

card, receivers and other equipment will be connected to the card cage. In order to do so, you must assemble D-shell connectors. The following tools will be required in that case:

 crimp tool AMP 90302-l or 90312-l  wire stripper.  standard hand tools

If a contact pin is inserted into the wrong connector receptacle, AMP extractor tool 91067-3 will be required to remove it. You may also need the necessary tools to assemble BNC coaxial cables, depending upon the number and length of coaxial cables that you have on hand.

X824-05-02 Rev 307 Matrix 66 Preparation • 5

Supplied Accessories

The power cable and required number of terminators will be supplied for your Matrix 66, as well as the appropriate number of control signal looping cables with your order. For the V1466A card, you will receive an accessory kit that contains the items in Table 2.

Camera and Monitor Connections

Cameras

Video is usually brought back from the cameras to the Matrix 66 with coaxial cable. Even if some other transmission medium is used, such as fiber optics or wireless, final connection to the Matrix 66 is made with

coaxial cable. Refer to Reference, Cable Recommendations, Video Cabling for information on the appropriate

video cable for your application.

The rear panel of each card cage contains up to four (4) V6610RP64-IA rear connector panels, referred to in this text as “BNC” panels. Each BNC panel contains 64 BNC connectors. Perform the following procedure to connect cameras to the Matrix 66. If you are adding cameras to an existing Matrix 66 system, refer to

Expanding an Existing System.

1. Locate the BNC panels labeled “VID” and numbered in sets of 16. Refer to Figure 3.

2. Connect each camera’s video output connector to the appropriate BNC connector on the Matrix 66 BNC panels.

Figure 3

Monitors

When you purchase the Matrix 66, Vicon’s factory technicians will install the appropriate number and type of amplifier boards in the card cages. These video amplifier boards process video information before it is sent to the monitors. As the rear panel of the card cages will be labeled for you at the factory, connecting monitors to your Matrix 66 is quick and easy. Perform the procedure below to connect monitors to the Matrix 66. If you

are adding monitors to an existing Matrix 66 system, refer to Expanding an Existing System.

1. The card cage to which monitor connections are made depends upon the system size. For example, in a typical 256 camera x 32 monitor system, 16 monitor connections would be made to each card cage. However, in a 512 camera x 16 monitor system, the monitor connections will be made to the last card cage. The appropriate BNC panels will be labeled so that you can identify which panels should be used for monitor connections. Locate the third BNC panel in each card cage labeled “MON” and numbered in sets of 16, referring to Figure 4. The “17-32” label may or may not be present, depending upon your configuration.

2. Connect each monitor’s video input to the appropriate BNC connector on the Matrix 66 BNC panel.

3. If the video is not looped out from the monitor to some other equipment, set the termination switch on the monitor to the 75 OHM position. If the video will be looped out from the monitor, set the monitor’s termination switch to HIGH IMPEDANCE or HIGH Z. Repeat for each monitor.

4. Connect a V75T terminator to any unused monitor BNCs on the monitor output panel. For instance, if only 13 monitors are to be connected to the panel, terminate the last three BNCs with V75T terminators. Do not terminate the two top D-shell looping connectors on the monitor BNC panel on the card cage. This would create a double-termination condition which can degrade the video image quality.

Single Card Cage Installation

128 Cameras, 32 Monitors

Up to 32 monitor connections are available with one card cage if the maximum number of cameras is limited to 128. As shown in Figure 6, this configuration requires four V6610S-1A cards, one V6616-AMP-1A and one V6632-AMP-1AS card. Camera and monitor numbers for each BNC panel are also identified in this figure. The first two BNC panels (V6610RP64-IA) will be used for camera input. This video must be routed to the last two panels (V6610RP64-IA) in order to provide the camera video to monitors 17-32. (Note: the cards are inserted into slots in the card cage behind the BNC panels.)

Perform the following procedure for 128 camera, 32 monitor, single card cage systems.

Note: Single card cage systems are controlled by the V1466A. If you are using the V1300 or V1500, you will

typically have more than one card cage.

1. On the first BNC panel, connect one end of a V66RC cable to the top 2nd from the right D-shell connector. Connect the other end of the cable to top 2 shown in Figure 7.

Note: The shunt jumper terminators should be preinstalled on the switcher cards but may be supplied in the

accessory kit. For a single card cage installation, all the camera inputs for the last two BNC panels should have the jumper shunt terminators inserted on the associated switcher card (JP1-JP64) to terminate. On the switcher cards associated with the first two panels, all the shunt jumper terminators should be removed.

256 Cameras, 16 Monitors

A 256 camera, 16 monitor configuration requires only one card cage. Unlike the 128 camera, 32 monitor configuration, you do not need to make any looping connections from panel to panel. Make connections to cameras and monitors as discussed previously and make any other appropriate connections discussed in the other sections of this manual.

Figure 7

Multiple Card Cage Installation

A single card cage system supports one of two configurations: 256 cameras, 16 monitors or 128 cameras, 32 monitors. Any system larger than those two configurations requires multiple card cages. You may expand a V1466A system to two card cages, for a system size of 256 cameras and 32 monitors. Any system larger than that requires an external control system such as the V1300 or V1500. If more card cages are added in order to increase the number of monitors, then the camera video must be looped to the next card cage(s). In a similar manner, if more card cages are added in order to increase the number of cameras, then the monitor video must be looped to the next card cage(s).

Looping Camera Video

In general, more than one card cage is required in order to provide more than 16 monitor outputs. Camera inputs must be looped from card cage to card cage in order to view the video from these cameras on all of the monitors. This procedure is given below.

1. In Figure 8, each D-shell connector on V6610RP64-IA panels provides outputs for eight video channels. Notice that on the V6610RP64-LA panels (shown on the right below), each set of D-shell connectors is electrically equivalent, with either connector in a set providing outputs for eight video channels.

Looping Connectors on V6610RP64-IA (left) and V6610RP64-LA Panels (right)

2. On the first BNC panel on the right-hand side of the first card cage, connect one end of a V66RC cable to the top right D-shell connectors (labeled “Camera 1-8” in Figure 8). Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate D-shell connector in the appropriate card cage as shown in Figure 9. The panel may be a V6610RP64-IA or a V6610RP64-LA, depending upon the number of card cages in your system. Figure 9 shows both configurations. Typically, the first and last card cages use V6610RP64-IA BNC panels and V6610RP64-LA panels are installed in the intermediate cages.

3. On the first BNC panel of the first card cage, connect one end of a V66RC cable to the second D-shell connectors (labeled “Camera 9-16” in Figure 8). Connect the other end of the cable to the D-shell appropriate connector in the appropriate card cage as shown in Figure 9.

4. Continue to connect the remaining D-shell connectors for the looping outputs for cameras 17-24, 25-32, 33-40, 41-48, 49-56 and 57-64.

5. If your system includes more than two card cages, continue to loop video down to the subsequent card cages, referring to Figure 9 and the examples in Figures 11 and 13.

6. Using the shunt jumper terminators, terminate the 64 unused BNC connectors on each of the BNC panels

in the last card cage as shown in Figure 9. (Note: On the panels before the last one, the shunt jumper terminators JP1-JP64 should all be removed on the associated switcher cards.)

7. Repeat steps 3 - 7 for the remaining video looping panels in the system (the second, fourth, and fifth

panels – the third panel is for monitor outputs).

Camera Expansion Using Serial Loop Configurations (Monitor Looping)

Monitor video must be looped from card cage to card cage when the maximum number of cameras exceeds

256. Perform the following procedure if your system size is larger than 256 cameras (two or more card

cages).

1. Locate the V6610RP32-OA BNC panels labeled “MON” in the card cages (third panel from the right, with card cage viewed from the rear). Connect a coaxial cable from the first BNC connector in the first card cage to the seventeenth BNC connector in the second card cage as shown in Figure 10.

2. Repeat this process, connecting the second BNC on the “MON” panel in the first card cage to the eighteenth BNC on the “MON” panel in the second card cage, and so forth, as shown in the following table. The numbers in the table refer to the BNCs labeled in the figure to the right below.

3. Repeat the steps above for subsequent card cages. In systems that have more than 256 cameras and more than 16 monitors, V6640SEXP16-A Expander Cards must be used. While the monitor looping is basically the same for very large systems as discussed in this procedure, it may be helpful to refer to illustrations in the next section.

Camera Expansion Using Star Cage Configuration

Figure 14 also illustrates another method of expanding systems with camera size more than 256. Instead of looping monitors, an additional card cage with V6640SEXP32-A boards is used for camera expansion (4th

cage in Figure 14). This method can be configured to any camera size up to 2048 and is the preferred method if the camera size in the system exceeds 512.

Large System Examples

256 Camera, 48 Monitor System

In a 256 camera, 48 monitor system, the number of monitors exceeds the maximum allowed for one card cage. Therefore, additional card cages are required for each set of 16 monitors, for a total of three cages. When the number of monitors necessitates additional cages, camera video must be looped down to the additional cages so that this video is available for all monitors. As shown in Figure 11, video is looped from the first to the second and from the second to the third card cages. Monitors are connected to the first sixteen BNCs of the monitor output panel (the third panel from the right, viewing the cage from the rear) of each cage. The first card cage supports monitors 1-16, the second cage supports monitors 17-32 and monitors 33-48 are connected to the third cage. Cameras 1-256 are connected to the first card cage, 64 cameras per panel. The BNCs on the third card cage’s BNC panels (all panels except the third) are terminated using the shunt jumper terminators (JP1-JP64) located on the associated switcher card.

Figure 11

512 Camera, 16 Monitor System

In a system that requires more than 256 cameras but only 16 monitors, an additional card cage will be needed for each set of 256 cameras. As shown in Figure 12, 64 cameras are connected to each BNC panel of each card cage (except the third panel, which is used for monitor outputs). The first 256 cameras are connected to the first card cage, continuing on the second card cage with 64 cameras per BNC panel (excluding the third panel) until all 512 cameras are connected. Insert shunt jumpers (JP1-JP64) on all switcher cards.

The sixteen monitors are connected to the first sixteen BNCs on the third BNC panel of the second card cage. Coaxial cables are connected, started with the first BNC from the monitor output panel of the first card cage to the seventeenth BNC on the same panel in the second card cage, the corresponding second BNC to the eighteenth BNC on the second card cage, and so forth. Because of space constraints, only the first cable is

shown in the figure. Refer to Camera Expansion Using Serial Loop Configuration for more information on

monitor connections between the card cages.

Figure 12

512 Camera, 32 Monitor System

In the previous two examples, more than one card cage was needed because of the need for more than 256 cameras or more than 16 monitors. In this example, the system specifications are 512 cameras and 32 monitors. This requires four card cages, as both monitor and camera cables must be looped to additional card cages in order to achieve the maximum number of monitors and cameras.

Figure 13 shows Camera 1 connected to the first card cage, which is shown at the top left. Cameras 2-256 are also connected to this card cage, though not shown because of space constraints. Cameras 257-512 are connected to the second card cage, which is shown at the top right. The camera video is looped from these cages down to the third and fourth card cages. Because more than 256 cameras are required, the second and fourth card cages (top and bottom right) include a V6640SEXP16-A Expander Card.

Sixteen monitors are connected to the first sixteen BNCs of the third panel in the second and fourth card cages (top and bottom right cages). Coaxial cables are connected to the first sixteen monitor outputs in the first and third card cages to the last sixteen BNCs in the third panels of the second and fourth cages.

Control signals from an external control system (V1300 or V1500) must be looped from card cage to card cage as discussed in the following procedure.

1. Connect the V1300 or V1500 Video Control CPU to the Matrix 66 Alarm/Control In connector.

2. Connect the supplied control cable to the Control Out connector of the first card cage.

3. Connect the other end to the Alarm/Control In connector on the second card cage.

4. Continue to connect between the Control Out connector of one card cage to the Alarm/Control In

Cameras

As each configuration is unique, the instructions for adding new cameras are generalized as follows.

Situation Solution Otherwise…

You have free BNCs. Connect cameras. If you now have more

than 256 cameras, add V6640SEXP16-A card to fourth slot. Set SW1 on decoder card (see Figure 16).

You have a blank V6650RCP-A panel.

Additional V6610S-1A switcher cards and rear panels are added to a cage as a set, one card and one panel being required. Before the V6610S-1A switcher card is installed in the cage from the front, shunt jumper terminators JP1 to JP64, which are jumper to 75 ohms video terminators, must be configured. These shunts will have to be inserted or removed depending if the camera input to the switcher board is part of a video loop system or is a final termination of a video source (from an end of a video looped source or directly from a video source). Insert shunt jumper terminator(s) if end of video termination is required. Otherwise, remove the jumper terminator(s) for no video termination. Additional shunt configuration is required as follows.

On a V1466A system, setting the address for the additional switcher card is not required, but the shunt jumpers on the card need to be set for V1466A as follows.

Switcher Card:

1. JP65 -

a. Shunt removed for the cage with the internal CPU (monitor 1 – 16) b. Shunt shorted for the cage with the decoder board (monitor 17 – 32).

2. JP66, JP67 and JP68 - Pin 1 and 2 shunt shorted (On a 32 monitor V1466A single cage system,

remove JP67 on all switcher cards)

On a Matrix 66 with an external CPU system, the additional switcher card will require address settings from

the decoder card (refer to Camera and Monitor Addressing) and shunt settings from the switcher card as

follows:

Switcher Card:

1. JP65 - follows the MON4 setting of the decoder card

a. Removed for MON4 = 0 b. Inserted for MON4 = 1

2. JP66, JP67 –Shunts are removed

3. JP68 – Pin 2 and 3 shunt shorted

To add new cards, remove the front panel of the Matrix 66 and insert the card into the appropriate empty slot, taking all necessary precautions to prevent static discharge. Lock the cards into place using the inserter clips. If necessary, the V6610S-1A card should be inserted into the first empty slot (excluding the third and fourth slots).

Add new V6610S-1A card and V6610RP64-IA rear panel. Connect cameras. Set DIP switches and the shunt jumpers on decoder card and on video switcher card (see Figure 16).

If you have a blank V6650RCP-A panel, refer to the next situation. Otherwise, you must add a new cage.

Add new card cage to your system.

20 • Expanding an Existing System X824-05-02 Rev 307 Matrix 66

To add a new V6610RP64-IA rear panel, remove the rightmost V6650RCP-A blank panel on the rear of the card cage. Use the captive screws at the bottom and top of the rear panel to secure the panel in place.

If necessary, add a new card cage to your system and loop camera and/or monitor video down to the new cage. Replace the front cover of the Matrix 66. If labels were provided from Vicon, attach them to the new panel(s), using the appropriate numbers. Refer to the following sections if necessary:

Monitors

As each configuration is unique, the instructions for adding new monitors are generalized as follows.

Situation Solution Otherwise…

You have free BNCs on the “MON” panel to which monitors are already connected.

No free BNCs on the “MON” panel to which monitors are already connected.

If necessary, add a new card cage to your system by looping camera and/or monitor video down to the new cage. If labels were provided from Vicon, attach them to the new panel(s), using the appropriate numbers.

Refer to the following instructions if necessary:

Camera and Monitor Addressing

Note: Switches are set at the factory. Do not perform this procedure unless you are expanding your system.

As discussed in Camera and Monitor Connections, the BNC panel in the extreme right card slot (viewing the

Matrix 66 card cage from the rear) is used for cameras 1-64. The next BNC panel is used for cameras 65128, and so forth in an increasing camera number order. Refer to Tables 3, 4, and 5.

On a V1466A System: In order to identify to the card cage which V6610S-1A video switcher card will be

used for which set of 64 cameras, each slot of the cage has a fixed address that represents the camera address range. Therefore, the camera address range of Slot A (far left slot of the cage viewed from the front of the cage) is Camera 1 to Camera 64, Slot B is Camera 65 to Camera 128, Slot C is Camera 129 to Camera 192, and Slot D is Camera 193 to Camera 256. If the V1466A system has a second cage added, the same slot scheme used on the first cage is used on the second cage. On the monitor’s side, the V1466A can only address Monitor 1 thru Monitor 32. One V1466A cage can only support up to 16 monitors. (This is for a 256 x 16 configuration; see Single Card Cage Installation, 128 Cameras, 32 Monitors for a 128 x 32 configuration.) If more than 16 monitors are required, a second cage must be added to the V1466A system. The second cage will add 16 monitors to the system. Switcher cards that are in the cage with the Internal CPU will address Monitor 1 thru Monitor 16 and will have their shunts configured as follows:

X824-05-02 Rev 307 Matrix 66 Expanding an Existing System • 21

1. JP65 - Shunt removed

2. JP66, JP67 and JP68 – Pin 1 and 2 shunt shorted

Switcher cards that are in the cage with the decoder card will address Monitor number 17 thru 32 and will have their shunts configured as follows:

3. JP65 - Shunt shorted

4. JP66, JP67 and JP68 – Pin 1 and 2 shunt shorted

Note: The V1466A does not use any settings of the DIP switches and shunts that are on the decoder card

(second cage).

On a Matrix 66 with an External CPU System: In order to identify to the card cage which V6610S-1A video

switcher card will be used for which set of 64 cameras, each slot of the cage is addressed using the shunts on the switcher cards and the DIP switch settings and shunts on the decoder board. The slots in the card cage are identified from left to right viewing the cage from the front as Slot A, Slot B, Slot C and Slot D. These slots are selected by the address configuration set by the DIP switches located on the decoder board. These slots are also used by the expander card(s) when expansion beyond a single cage is required. The expander cards are also addressed by the decoder card. DIP switch settings and shunts on the decoder card for the switcher card or the expander card in each slot are shown in Figure 16, A - D.

Perform the following procedure, noting that the procedure starts with the first switcher card; typically, you will only need to set switches on the cards that you add to the system because switches on existing cards will be set at the factory.

1. Remove the front panel of the Matrix 66. Referring to Figure 16/A, locate shunts JP65, JP66, JP67 and JP68 on video switcher card.

2. Set the shunts of the switcher card and the shunts and DIP switches of the decoder card (Figure 16/B) as shown in Tables 3-5.

3. Repeat step 2 for each video switcher card used for camera connections. Examples of shunt and DIP switch settings for both switcher and decoder cards are shown in the following section.

4. If the system has more than 256 cameras (two or more card cages), you must add either a V6640SEXP16-A or V6640SEXP32-A card(s) (Figure 16/C-D) to your card cage’s configuration. If a V6640SEXP32-A is used, insert a shunt on JP65 of the card when the video outputs of one additional cage (256 cameras) is connect to the expander. If two additional cages are connected to the same

V6640SEXP32-A board (512 cameras), then remove shunt on JP65.

5. When either a V6640SEXP16-A or V6640SEXP32-A card(s) is added in the expansion of a video switching system, it is important to configure the decoder card to the cage slot that has the expander card. On the decoder card, locate jumpers and DIP switches and configured them as shown in Figure 16. Examples of shunt and DIP switch settings for both expander and decoder cards are shown in the following section.

Examples

256 Camera, 48 Monitor System

Each V6610S-1A video switcher card is used for 64 cameras. The range of camera numbers is constant down the rear panels of the card cage; for example, the first rear panel on the right-hand side of each of the three card cages is labeled for cameras 1-64. (As shown in Figure 11, this video must be looped down from the first card cage to the second and from the second to the third.) The third rear panel holds the V6616AMP-1A video amplifier card. Each cage is used for 16 monitors, for a total of 48 monitor outputs.

All the switcher cards in the examples should have their shunt jumpers removed on JP66, JP67 and JP68. The setting of JP65 of the switcher card along with the setting of the shunts and DIP switches on the decoder card are shown in Figure 16. Note that the setting of JP65 will always follow the setting of “MON4” of the decoder board.

512 Camera, 16 Monitor System

In a 512 camera, 16 monitor system, a V6640SEXP16-A Expander Card is required in the last card cage (see Figure 12).

768 Camera, 16 Monitor System

In previous examples, shown in Figure 12, the monitor video was looped between cages via a V6640SEXP16-A Expander Card (serial looped cage configuration) in order to increase the camera size beyond 256. The examples were limited to 2 cages. The V6640SEXP16-A can be used to loop more than 2

cages and save an extra cage in the expansion. As discussed in Multiple Card Cage Installation, Large System Examples, 768 Cameras, 16 Monitor System, V6640SEXP32-A Expander Cards are required for

systems with more than 256 cameras. Connections are shown in Figure 14. These expander cards are placed in the last card cage. The DIP switches on the last card cage’s decoder card are configured as shown in Tables 3-5.

Adding a VI466A CPU Card

• If you want to convert an existing V1500/V1300 Matrix 66 system to a system that uses the V1466A, you can do so by using the following procedure. Note that you may not expand a VI466A system to more than 256 cameras, 32 monitors (2 card cages).

Warning: Failure to perform this procedure properly may result in equipment damage.

1. If you were previously using the V1500/V1300 control system with the Matrix 66, remove power from the units and disconnect the V1500/V1300 control system from the Matrix 66. After performing this procedure, the control system will be the V1466A internal control system.

2. Remove the front cover of the Matrix 66.

3. The connector cover is at the top left of the unit as viewed from the rear. Remove the connector cover from the rear of the unit.

4. On the V1466A card, locate the BNC connector. Remove the BNC nut and washer. Do not discard.

Using the V66RCB Cable

The D-shell connectors on the V6610RP16-OA, V6610RP32-OA, V6610RP64-IA, V6610RP64-LA and/or V6610RP32-IA panels may be connected to various types of CCTV devices, such as dedicated monitors, dedicated tape recorders (“dedicated” means that the monitor or VCR is permanently connected to a single camera), quad splitters, multiplexers, or intrusion detectors. If this type of connection is required, it is made using a V66RCB cable. This cable has a 15-pin D-shell connector at one end and individual BNC connectors at the other end. Perform the following procedure to loop video out to other CCTV equipment.

1. Connect the 15-pin D-shell connector on the V66RCB cable to the appropriate D-shell connector on a V6610RP16-OA, V6610RP32-OA, V6610RP64-IA, V6610RP64-LA or V6610RP32-IA panel. You must determine which set of camera inputs are to be looped out and use that connector. Refer to Figure 4 for the numbering scheme.

2. Eight video channels are available from one D-shell connector on the Matrix 66 panel. Use Table 11 in order to determine which of the eight channels is available on which BNC on the other end of the V66RCB cable. Note that each BNC cable is a different color or is labeled with the name of a color. For example, red represents channel 8 on a cable connected to the D-shell for channels 1-8 and 9-16, but red is channel 1 on cables connected to D-shells for channels 17-24 and 25-32.

3. If some of the BNCs on this looping cable are not connected to other equipment, terminate them with V75T terminators. Be sure to terminate the last device in each video line with 75 ohms. VCRs are selfterminating.

Cable Recommendations

Alarm Cabling

Note: The section is applicable for the VI466A card only. If you are using the V1500/V1300, disregard this

section and refer to XX093 or X553, respectively.

The V1300X-IA alarm interface device may be used with a Matrix 66 operating under the control of the internal V1466A card. The appropriate cables for interconnections are included with the alarm interface device. You will need the adapters for the Matrix 66 end of the cable(s), which are included in the accessory kit.

Loop Out Cabling

It may be necessary to loop video out of the Matrix 66 to equipment such as dedicated monitors or tape recorders (“dedicated” means that the monitor or VCR is permanently connected to a single camera) or to quad splitters, multiplexers, or intrusion detectors. If this type of connection is required, it is done using a V66RCB cable. This cable has a 15-pin D-shell connector at one end and individual BNC connectors at the other end, and it is supplied with your purchase or may be ordered separately.

The Matrix 66 may also be connected to Vicon’s V1332AF-1 Relay/Audio-Follow-Video Switcher. Use of a relay/audio switcher allows audio and video signals to be switched simultaneously. For example, the audio signal from an intercom microphone associated with a camera can be switched to a speaker at the guard station at the same time the video is switched to the guard’s monitor. One ribbon cable is required to connect the Matrix 66 to a relay/audio switcher. This cable is included with the V1332AF Relay/Audio-Follow Video Switcher.

Control Cabling

If the control system is the V1500 or V1300, a control cable will be connected from the Matrix 66 to the V1500/V1300. This cable is shipped with the control system. If more than one card cage is required for either V1466A or V1500/V1300 systems, a cable will be required between the subsequent cages. These cables are shipped with the Matrix 66 cages.

Power Cabling

A 120 or 230 VAC power cord is supplied by Vicon for each card cage.

RS-232 Cabling

Note: This section is applicable for the V1466A CPU card only. If you are using theV1500/V1300, disregard

this section and refer to XX093 or X553, respectively.

RS-232 devices, such as a printer for alarm reports or a host computer, may be connected to the Matrix 66. At a maximum distance of six feet, Belden 9536 may be used to connect an RS-232 device to the unit.

RS-422 Cabling

Note: This section is applicable for the V1466A card only. If you are using theV1500/V1300, disregard this

section and refer to XX093 or X553, respectively.

Receivers and keypads use RS-422 communications. You must select the appropriate RS-422 cable type for connections between the Matrix 66 (or distribution line control) and keypads and then assemble the cable as

discussed in Assembling D-Shell Connectors. You must also select the appropriate cable for connections to receivers. Receiver cable assembly also is discussed in Assembling D-Shell Connectors. Vicon recommends

the cables shown in Table 12. As shown in the table, the appropriate cable depends upon the distance

44 • Reference X824-05-02 Rev 307 Matrix 66

between the Matrix 66 and the keypads or receivers. All cable types in the table are dual cable except for Belden 9182. Dual cables have two twisted pairs of cables which are shielded to prevent communications between the two sets. Each pair is enclosed by a shield. The shield includes a stranded conductor, the

“drain”, that allows the shield to be connected to a ground. Therefore dual cable contains a total of six

conductors, two conductors and a shield in each set. Note that Belden 9182 is not dual cable and contains three conductors (a twisted pair and a shield).

Video Cabling

Caution: Careful selection of proper cable is essential to obtain the best performance from this equipment. Vicon assumes no responsibility for poor performance when cables other than those recommended, or equivalent, are installed. In all cases, coaxial cable impedance should be 75 ohms.

Materials

Use only a pure copper center conductor. Do not use a copper-plated steel or aluminum center conductor, as they will result in poor quality video. Solid-core bare copper conductor is the best type, where flexing and bending will be minimal. If severe bending and flexing is required for installation, use a stranded center conductor. Never exceed the manufacturers minimum bend radius specification. Use cellular (foam) polyethylene dielectric except where heavy moisture exists. For moisture conditions, use solid polyethylene dielectric cable with a heavy exterior insulation. The shield must be copper braid providing 95% or better coverage.

Cable Types

The cable types listed below are the most common 75-ohm types used. They vary in size (diameter), dielectric type and net DC resistance. The larger cable results in a lower DC resistance and better video quality, with increased difficulty in handling and installation. Let the required picture quality and cable distance provide a guide in choosing the best cable type. For cables other than the approved Vicon types below, contact the manufacturers listed below. Note that “BC” refers to bare copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.

performance when cables other than the recommended types, or equivalent, are used.

Materials

Use a pure copper stranded conductor with or without a tin-plating to obtain a low DC resistance. Do not use cable with either steel or aluminum stranded conductor because they do not transfer signals effectively for long distances. The preferred insulation and cable jacket is Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It has better electrical characteristics than polyethylene and resists flames, sunlight and most solvents, but is more vulnerable to moisture.

Cable Types

The most commonly used cable types are dual individually-shielded, twisted pair in a single jacket. This configuration is the most convenient for RS-422/ RS485 applications. Single individually-shielded, twisted pair is also a suitable cable.

Choose a Belden cable type by referring to the characteristics and maximum distances listed below. The maximum distance for the most reliable digital control refers to the distance between the CPU/Keypad and the Camera Dome Assembly. The characteristics of the cables should be used as a guideline when cables other than Belden are used. Materials and construction must follow the guidelines above.

Assembling D-Shell Connectors

After selecting the proper items from the accessory kit, perform the following procedure to assemble the cable connectors.

1. Slip the ferrule over the end of the cable, with the wide end of the ferrule toward the end of the cable.

2. Using wire strippers, remove approximately 1.5 in. of outer insulation and shielding from the cable.

3. Using wire strippers, remove approximately 0.25 in. of insulation from three of the conductor wires.

4. Using a crimping tool, attach a contact pin to the three conductor wires. Refer to the appropriate table in

the text and Figure 28 and insert a pin into each receptacle listed.

Caution: When directed, carefully insert the appropriate pin into the appropriate receptacle of the 9-

pin connector. If an error is made, a special tool (AMP extractor tool 91067-3) must be used to remove

the pin. Vicon does not supply this tool.

5. Insert the inner shield into the grooves of the connector. Refer to Figure 28a.

6. Close the inner shield. Insert the outer shield into the connector grooves. Refer to Figure 28b and 28c.

7. Close the outer shield until the tabs snap over the tabs on the inner shield. Refer to Figure 28d.

8. Slide the ferrule until it covers the end of the closed shields. Crimp the larger end of the ferrule.

9. Assemble the connector needed for the other device, referring to the instruction manual for the device.

Note that Vicon does not supply the parts needed to wire the connector at the other end of the cable.

Top: 9-pin Connector. Bottom: a) Inner shield is inserted into appropriate grooves. b) Inner shield is closed. Note position

of the ferrule. c) Outer shield is inserted into the appropriate grooves. d) Outer shield is closed.
