Warning: Power must be removed from this unit before removing circuit modules or ribbon cables.

Caution: This unit contains circuit cards with integrated circuit devices that can be damaged by static

discharge. Take all necessary precautions to prevent static discharge.

Coaxial Cable Recommendations

Coaxial cables used to route video signals to and from the unit must meet the video recommendations in this section.

Caution: Careful selection of the 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 are installed. In all cases, coaxial cable impedance should be 75 ohms.

Materials

Use only cable with a pure copper center conductor. Do not use cable with either a copper-plated steel or an aluminum center conductor because these do not transfer signals effectively in the frequency range used in CCTV networks. A center conductor with low DC resistance is required for effective CCTV operation. Solid-core bare copper conductor is best suited to video applications, except where flexing occurs. If the coaxial cable will be subjected to flexing during normal use, select a cable with a stranded center conductor. The preferred dielectric material is cellular (foam) polyethylene. It has better electrical characteristics than solid polyethylene, but is more vulnerable to moisture. Therefore, use only solid polyethylene dielectric cable with a heavy exterior insulation in applications subject to moisture. The shield must be copper braid providing 95% or better coverage.

Cable Types

The most commonly used cable types are RG-59/U and RG-11/U. Each is actually a family of cables with widely varying electrical characteristics, some of which are not suitable for CCTV applications. Choose a cable type by referring to the characteristics and maximum distances listed below. The maximum distance for best picture refers to the distance between the camera and the unit The characteristics of the cables in this table should be used as a guideline when cables other than Belden are used. Materials and construction must follow the guidelines above. Note that “BC” refers to bare copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.

Introduction

The NOVA V1422º Digital Control and Switching System is a self-contained, full-featured CCTV controller which may be used with up to 32 camera stations and 8 monitor stations. The camera stations may contain either NOVA (VPSº) or Vicoax receivers. NOVA receivers may be connected in either simplex mode, which uses command lines only, or duplex mode, which provide command and response communication between receivers and the V1422. The V1422 may also communicate with Vicoax receivers, which transmits both video and control signals over coaxial cable. Vicoax and NOVA (simplex mode) receiver connections provide a less expensive cabling cost than duplex communications.

The V1422 contains a built-in alarm interface for 32 alarm inputs and allows 32 receiver alarms. An auxiliary device may be programmed to activate or deactivate during an active alarm. The common use of this feature is to connect a VCR to the V1422, which is used to record alarm video. Alarm reports may be printed using a serial line printer. A relay/audio switcher may be connected to the V1422, permitting simultaneous audible and visual indication of alarms. The V1422 contains advanced operating and programming features, such as the ability to define, recall, and schedule tours. Tours are sequences of video displays, each with a unique dwell time, pan-and-tilt position, zoom and focus.

Ten keypads may be used in the system (8 remote keypads, the local keypad, and the host computer). Remote keypads include Vicon’s Intelligent Control Panels V1300X-DVC and V1300X-RVC and a personal computer with ProTech V1300X-PACP software installed. The V1300X-PACP software allows the user to control CCTV equipment using the PC monitor and keypad. The local keypad is the front panel of the V1422. The host computer is used to control CCTV equipment using ProTech software or any other RS-232 drivers. The graphical interface panels used with ProTech software may contain video images, building layouts, and keypad simulations in order to provide a graphic representation of the CCTV site.

Cable Recommendations

Vicon recommends specific cable types for connections to keypads, receivers, printer, host computer, and for connections requiring coaxial cables.

Power Cabling

The power cords are supplied by Vicon. The accessory kit will contain 120 VAC and 230 VAC power cords.

Alarm Auxiliary Equipment Cabling

An auxiliary device may be connected to the V1422 for alarm operation. This dry-contact relay device, typically a VCR, is programmed to activate or deactivate during an active alarm. For example, a VCR could record video if an alarm in a high-security area is activated. This function is specified during configuration file development, as discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834. A VCR is one example of an auxiliary device that could be connected to the V1422. Since a variety of devices could be used as the auxiliary device, Vicon does not recommend specific cables. The device which will be used as the auxiliary equipment must not exceed the relay rating of 0.5 amperes, 30 volts and must be a noninductive load.

Audio Switcher Cabling

The V1422 may be connected to Vicon’s V1332AF or V2332AF Relay/Audio-Follow-Video Switchers. Use of a relay/audio switcher allows audio and video signals to be switched simultaneously, as the V1422 includes an internal video switching system. 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 V1422 to a relay/audio switcher. This cable is included with the V1332AF or V2332AF Relay/Audio-Follow-Video Switcher.

Local Alarm Cabling

Local alarms are wired directly to jack J2 on the V1422 rear connector panel. These local alarms do not include alarms which are connected to receivers. (Receiver alarm signals are communicated to the V1422 through receiver jack J4, unless the receiver is a Vicoax receiver, then they are transmitted through a video cable.) One two-conductor cable will be needed per alarm device. The wire gauge and specific type of cable are not specified by Vicon, however, the total loop resistance of the cable must be less than 1.5 Kohms.

X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422 Installation • 5

Video Cabling

The video signals from cameras are carried via coaxial cable meeting the recommendations in the front of this manual. One coaxial cable will be required per camera. If the video signals from cameras will be routed to other CCTV equipment, one additional cable will be required per connection. The V1422-end of the coaxial cables must be terminated with a male BNC connector. An additional coaxial cable terminated with a male BNC connector is required for each monitor connection. Up to eight monitors may be used in a V1422 CCTV system.

Video Control Cabling

Vicoax communication uses the same coaxial cable to transmit video and control signals. The following table lists the Vicon-recommended cable types and maximum operating distances for Vicoax communication.

Control Cabling to Keypad Jack J3 and Receiver Jack J4

The appropriate cable used for communications between the V1422 and a CCTV system component depends upon the distance between the two units. Table 4 lists six Vicon-recommended cable types and the corresponding maximum operating distances. All cable types in Table 4 are dual cable except Belden 9182. Dual cable contains two sets of cables which are shielded to prevent communications between the two sets. Response signals are transmitted in one set and command signals are transmitted in the other set. Each set contains two conductors, which are individually shielded, and a ground. Therefore a dual cable has six conductors: two conductors plus a ground in each of two sets of conductors. Belden 9182 is not dual cable - it contains two individually-shielded conductors and a ground for a total of three conductors.

Table 4

Individually-Shielded, Twisted-Pair Cable

Maximum Operating Distance

Cable Type Maximum Distance ft (m)

Belden 9406 5000 (1500) Belden 9402 5000 (1500) Belden 8723 8000 (2400) Belden 8162 15,000 (4600) Belden 9729 15,000 (4600) Belden 9182 25,000 (7600)

Referring to Table 4, choose the appropriate cable type per the maximum operating distance between the keypad (or distribution line control) and the V1422. The number of cables required depends upon the cable type. One cable will be required for any cable type in Table 4 except for Belden 9182. Because Belden 9182 contains only three conductors and six connections are required, the choice of Belden 9182 will mandate the use of two cables.

Keypad Jack J3

Receiver Jack J4

Referring to Table 4, choose the appropriate cable type per the maximum operating distance between the receiver (or distribution line control) and the V1422. The number of cables required depends upon the communications mode. Simplex communications require the use of command lines only, which enable the V1422 to communicate with the receiver but do not allow receiver responses to be returned. Both response and command lines are connected for duplex mode, which allows two-way communications between the V1422 and receiver. For example, receiver alarm and communication failure messages can display on the V1422 local keypad LCD window if response lines have been connected. Choose either simplex or duplex operation and refer to the appropriate following section for the number of cables required.

Note: Advanced features such as touring and sector titling require duplex operation.

Simplex Operation

Because simplex mode requires only three connections (command lines only), dual cable is not required. One Belden 9182 cable will be required to connect the receiver or distribution line control to the V1422 in simplex communications mode. As shown in Table 4, these units may be located up to 25,000 feet apart using this cable.

Duplex Operation

Both command and response connections are required for duplex operation. One cable will be required for duplex operation for any cable type chosen from Table 4 except for Belden 9182. Because six connections are required for duplex operation and one Belden 9182 cable contains only three conductors, two cables are required if Belden 9182 is used.

Cabling to Printer Jack J5 and Host Computer Jack J6

The V1422 rear connector panel includes two RS-232 ports. Jack J5 is used to transmit alarm reports to a serial line printer. A host computer may be connected to jack J6. Vicon’s ProTech software may be installed on the host computer to provide a graphic means of controlling and monitoring camera stations. Alternatively, the NOVA command set may be used to communicate with the V1422 without the ProTech software, as discussed in NOVA V1422 Host Computer Interface Software Instruction Manual X678. The host computer may also be used to develop the configuration file. One Belden 9536 cable will be required to connect the printer to the V1422 at an approximate distance of six feet. One Belden 9536 cable will be required to connect the host computer to the V1422.

Installing the Tilt Stand

The V1422 may be mounted in a rack or used on a desk-top. A tilt stand is included in the accessory kit to elevate the V1422 when used in desk-top mode. The tilt stand is shown in Figure 9 on page 23 of the Operation section in this manual. The tilt stand locks in position for elevation or folds flat against the bottom of the unit when elevation is not required. Perform the following procedure to install the tilt stand.

1. Select the following from the accessory kit:

• tilt stand

• right mounting foot for tilt stand

• left mounting foot for tilt stand

• four 6-32x7/16 screws

• two square adhesive-backed rubber feet.

X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422 Installation • 7

2. Two sets of screw holes on the bottom of the V1422 will be used to mount the tilt stand feet. These holes are located approximately 1 inch from the front panel of the V1422 and are approximately 8 inches apart from each other. Choose the right mounting foot (identified in Figure 2) and attach it to the right set of holes using two of the 6-32x7/16 screws from the accessory kit.

Note: When the tilt stand is not in use, it will fold flat against the bottom V1422 panel. Choosing the right and

left mounting feet as identified in this section will orient the tilt stand to fold toward the rear connector panel. In order to fold the stand toward the front of the V1422, install the feet on the opposite sides of the V1422. For example, in step 2, choose the right mounting foot as identified in Figure 2, but install it on the left side of the unit.

NOVA receivers may be connected to the V1422 in either duplex or simplex mode. Duplex operation requires the use of both command and response lines. Response signals are used to transmit information such as the activation of alarms and communication failures to the V1422. Command signals, which send control information from the CPU to the receiver, are always required. Simplex operation requires the use of command lines only. The operating mode must be chosen (or determined, for existing installations) before the following procedure can be performed.

Note: The advanced features of the V1422, such as sector titling and touring, require duplex operation.

Jack J4 on the V1422 rear panel will be connected to either a receiver or a distribution line control. The distribution line control allows multiple receivers to be connected radially from jack J4. Receivers may also be connected serially (daisy-chain configuration). Star and daisy-chain interconnections of receivers and distribution units are discussed in Vicon receiver instruction manuals. Two sample connections are shown in Figure 8. Perform the following procedure to assemble the connector and make the required connection.

18 • Installation X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422

Perform the following procedure to connect Vicoax receivers to the V1422. Up to 32 receivers may be connected to the V1422. Refer to Figure 3.

Note: If you have both NOVA and Vicoax receivers in your system, make sure that each receiver has a

unique address. NOVA receiver addresses are defined by a DIP switch at the receiver, and Vicoax addresses are defined by the video connection to the V1422.

1. If you are using the V7UVS Surveyor Mini Dome, select 1422 mode using the appropriate switch at the

receiver. For other Vicoax receiver models, select Vicoax 1902 (may be referred to as “Vicoax”, “Vicoax 1902” or “1902” in the receiver documentation) mode using the appropriate switch.

2. Route a properly terminated coaxial cable between each Vicoax receiver and the V1422.

3. Two BNC connectors are present on the V1422 rear connector panel for each Vicoax receiver. A number

is labeled above each pair of connectors. Either connector may be used. Connect a cable from the video output connector of each receiver to one of the BNC connectors. Note the number for each receiver.

4. If no receivers were connected to jack J4 (i.e., you have no NOVA receivers connected to the V1422),

terminate jack J4 by connecting pins 6 and 8 together using a 9-pin connector from the accessory kit.

5. If video signals will be routed from the V1422 to other CCTV devices, route one coaxial cable between

each device and the V1422. Connect one end of each cable to one of the BNC connectors on the V1422 rear connector panel.

6. If a video input will not be used, terminate one of the BNCs for that video input with a 75 ohm terminator.

Do not terminate both BNCs. Refer to page 21.

Printer Connections

The V1422 includes an RS-232 port used to route alarm reports to a serial line printer. Perform the following procedure to connect a serial line printer to the V1422.

1. Route the cable chosen in Cable Recommendations from the serial printer to the V1422.

2. Select the following from the accessory kit:

• 9-pin connector

Host Computer Connections

The V1422 can communicate with a computer through RS-232 jack J6 using commands as described in NOVA V1422 Host Computer Interface Software Instruction Manual X678 or using Vicon’s ProTech Graphic Command and Control software. Using either of these methods, the configuration file may be sent to or retrieved from a computer. As discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834, a configuration file defines the CCTV components, expected responses, and user preferences to the control system. Using the ProTech software, a configuration file may be developed from user-friendly graphic screens. This information may then be sent to the V1422 via the RS-232 jack J6 on the V1422 rear connector panel. This is an alternative method to creating a configuration file using the V1422 menu-driven software discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834. The computer connected to jack J6 is referred to as the “host” computer. The steps in this section should only be performed if the commands listed in NOVA V1422 Host Computer Interface Software Instruction Manual X678 will be transmitted without using ProTech software.

1. Route the cable discussed in Cable Recommendations from the host computer.

2. Select the following from the accessory kit:

• 9-pin connector

• inner and outer shield

• ferrule

• five contact pins.

the V1422-end of the cable to jack J6 on the V1422 rear connector panel. Refer to Figure 3 on page 9.

Terminate Unused BNC Connectors

The V1422 rear panel contains 32 pairs of BNC connectors for looping video to other system components (outputs) and for receiving camera video signals (inputs). Either BNC connector in each pair may be used for input or output. If video input is connected to either of the BNC connectors, the other BNC must be connected to a system component or be terminated. Perform the following procedure.

1. Select one terminator from the accessory kit for each pair of BNC connectors which is connected to video

input but that will not loop video out to system components.

2. Connect a terminator to each unused BNC output in each pair of BNC connectors that has a used BNC

input. If neither BNC will be used, only terminate one of the BNCs.

Applying Power

The switching power supply in the V1422 allows the unit to be operated from 90-265 VAC at 50-60 Hz. Perform the following procedure to apply power to the unit.

1. Perform the steps in Power Connections on page 10.

2. Plug the power cord into the V1422 rear connector panel. Refer to Figure 3 on page 9. Plug the power cord into the appropriate power source (90-265 VAC, 50-60 Hz).

3. Locate the power switch on the rear panel and turn the unit on by placing the power switch in the “I” position.

4. Apply power to all CCTV system components, referring to the appropriate instruction manuals.

Programming the V1422

The V1422 configuration file must be developed before operation. Refer to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834.

Entering the Login ID and Passcode

If at least one user has been defined for the system, the LCD will display as follows when the V1422 is initially powered or rebooted.

A valid identification number must be entered before the programming screens can be accessed and the system can be operated. Enter the ID using the local numeric keypad and press the HOME key. Refer to Figure 9 on page 23 for the location of these keys. Note that if the user identification number is assigned to an administrator, a passcode will also be requested:

Enter the passcode using the numeric keypad and press the HOME key. If the passcode was valid (programmed for an administrator as discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834), the V1422 will now be available for system operation and programming. If an invalid passcode is entered, both the login ID and the passcode must be entered again.

Note: Press and hold the F1 key and then press the Bypass key to exit the menu system.

24 • Operation X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422

Joystick Operation

The V1422 joystick is located on the front panel, as shown in Figure 9 on page 23. This vector-solving joystick controls pan and tilt speed proportionally to deflection, as shown in Figure 10. The maximum speed is selectable, as discussed in Joystick Speed Factor.

Deflect the joystick in the desired direction in order to control the pan-and-tilt drive associated with the currently-selected camera station. To increase the speed, deflect the joystick further in the desired direction.

Joystick Speed Factor

Note: The following procedure is applicable only for keypads used with the V7UVS Surveyor Mini Dome or

V15UVS Universal Omniscan. Refer to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834 to define the percentage of maximum joystick speed discussed below and the fast, medium, slow settings in Figure 10.

If the V1422 is controlling a V15UVS Universal Omniscan or V7UVS Surveyor Mini Dome, the joystick behavior can be modified while the keypad is in the RUN mode (not applicable for PGM mode). The maximum pan and tilt speed (which occurs when the joystick is at full deflection) can be set to equal the maximum speed or a percentage of the maximum speed. For example, if the maximum is 90° per second and the percentage chosen during programming was 50%, pressing the F1 key will toggle the maximum value to 45° per second (50% of 90). By redefining the maximum to the lesser of the two values, a slow moving object may be more easily tracked.

The F1 key is used to toggle the maximum speed between the maximum and a percentage of that value.

Selecting a Camera and Monitor

Before the video from a camera may be viewed on a monitor, the camera and monitor must be selected using the procedure described below. Refer to Figure 9 on page 23 for the location of local keys.

1. Press the MON key.

2. Enter the monitor number using the numeric keypad.

3. Press the MON key.

4. Enter the camera number.

5. Press the CAM key.

Note: If camera titles were programmed as discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching

System Programming Manual X834, the title will display on the selected monitor after step 5 above.

Preset Operation

The term “preset” refers to a preprogrammed pan-and-tilt position and lens setting. Preset lens settings are only available with motorized zoom lenses. The same set of local keypad commands are used to program presets and to recall previously defined presets. The RUN/PGM switch is used to differentiate between these two activities. Refer to Figure 9 on page 23 for the location of specific keys on the local keypad. Perform the following procedure to program or activate a preset.

Caution: The V1200R-LM-PP Preset Drive is required in order to perform preset operations using the

V1200R-LM Multiple Receiver/Driver. Using preset functions without the Preset Drive installed will cause the pan-and-tilt drive to “run away”, or to pan and tilt erratically.

1. Position the pan-and-tilt drive and lens to the desired preset position.

2. Place the RUN/PGM switch in the PGM position to program or in the RUN position to activate a preset.

3. Press the PP ENTER key.

4. Using the numeric keypad, enter the number to be used to identify this preset position and lens setting.

Note: Refer to Clearing Errors on page 36 if an error is made during input.

5. Press the PP ENTER key. This will store a preset if the RUN/PGM switch is in the PGM position or activate the pan-and-tilt and lens as defined by the preset if the switch is in the RUN position.

Note: If programmed as discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming

Manual X834, a preset title will display on the selected monitor. Preset titles are only available for

presets 1-32.

Controlling a Lens

The lens control keys are located at the extreme right of the keypad (refer to Figure 9 on page 23). These keys control focus, iris, and zoom functions of motorized lenses. The zoom, focus, and iris keys are momentary control keys; each time the ZOOM IN key is pressed, the lens will zoom in, until the limit is reached or the key is released.

26 • Operation X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422

All Vicon receivers compatible with the V1422 feature built-in autoiris control circuits and variable lens speed operation. The lens must either be motorized (lenses with the letter M in the model number) or motorized with spot filter (lenses with the letters MS in the model number). Press the A/I button to enable or disable the autoiris. Press the L-SPD button to change the speed to fast or slow.

Caution: Do not enable the autoiris function if the pan-and-tilt drive is in autopan mode. This will cause

premature failure of the autoiris drive mechanism.

Auxiliary Operation

Auxiliary switches control latching or momentary functions at the receiver site. The number of latching and/or momentary auxiliary functions available depends upon the receiver, with a maximum of six devices. These six auxiliary devices are activated using the six AUX buttons on the keypad.

To activate or deactivate a latching auxiliary device, press the appropriate AUX button and release.

Note: If using Model V1300R receiver with the V1300R-PV option board installed or V1301R receiver with

the V1301R-PV option board installed, do not use the auxiliary keys from the V1422 local panel while using the joystick.

To activate a momentary auxiliary device, press the appropriate AUX button and hold the button in as long as the operation of the device is required.

Note: If the V1422 was programmed with Seize Control set to Manual, pressing the AUX4 key will initiate a

seize. The Seize Control must be set to Auto in order to control auxiliary equipment with the AUX4 key.

Autopan Control

Press the A/P key to activate or deactivate automatic panning. “A/P” will display on the LCD when the V1422 has sent a command to the selected camera to begin autopanning.

Note: Manual pan operations have priority over the autopan function. Panning with the joystick will deactivate

autopanning.

Home Key

The V1422 allows a user to quickly return to preset 1 of the selected camera station using the HOME key.

Note: The procedure in Preset Operation on page 26 must be performed to define preset 1. Press the HOME key to move the pan-and-tilt drive to preset position 1.

X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422 Operation • 27

Seize Control

Only one keypad may control a camera station at a time. A keypad may seize the control of a camera station from a keypad with a lower priority. Priority levels are set using V1422 programming screens. Refer to the NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834. Seize control may be set to Automatic or Manual through the programming screens. If the seize control was set to Automatic, a keypad may seize the control of a camera station from a keypad with lower priority by sending any command to the camera station (pan, tilt, etc.). For manual seize control, the AUX4 key must be pressed before the seize can take place.

Note: If a remote keypad is operating in V1200 mode (referred to as Receiver Type: Limited in the V1300X-

PACP panel), the seize control must be set to Auto in the V1422 programming screens.

Alarm Operation

The LCD will display an ALARM! message if one or more alarms have been activated. An active alarm is acknowledged by pressing the ALARM key. Acknowledging an alarm removes it from the stack of active alarms. The stack mode determines whether each alarm monitor may have its own list of active alarms (independent stack mode) or if one list is common to all alarm monitors (common stack mode). Figures 11 and 12 illustrate common stack mode and independent stack mode, respectively. .In Figure 11A, the Edit Alarm Call-Up programming screens are shown for two alarms. The initial conditions are as follows (refer to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834 for more information):

• common stack mode

• FIFO (first-in, first-out) order

• alarm 1 is activated before alarm 2.

Figure 11B illustrates the video from specific camera stations at specific preset positions. All of these camera/preset combinations are associated with either alarm 1 or alarm 2 as shown in Figure 11A, except for the video from camera 10 at preset 1. The video from camera 10 at preset 1 is defined to be the video displaying on monitor 3 before any alarms are activated. Figure 11C illustrates the video displayed on monitors 1, 2 and 3 when alarm 1 is activated. As shown in Figure 11A, an active alarm 1 was programmed to display video from camera 1, preset 1, on monitor 1 and to display video from camera 20, preset 2, on monitor 2. Because the Edit Alarm Call-Up screen for alarm 1 does not include monitor 3, it will continue to display pre-alarm video (camera 10, preset 1). When alarm 1 is acknowledged on either monitor 1 or monitor 2, alarm video from alarm input 2 will display, as shown in Figure 11D. Because all three monitors were included in the Edit Alarm Call-Up for alarm input 2, alarm video displays on all alarm monitors. Alarm 2 may be acknowledged from any alarm monitor (1, 2, or 3).

• independent stack mode

• FIFO (first-in, first-out) order for monitors 1 and 3; priority order for monitor 2

• acknowledged alarms will NOT be cleared from all monitor lists

• alarm 1 is activated before alarm 2

• alarm 2 has a higher priority than alarm 1.

Figure 12B illustrates the video from specific cameras at specific preset positions. All of the alarms shown in Figure 12B are associated with either alarm 1 or alarm 2 (refer to Figure 12A) except for the video from camera station 10 at preset 1. When alarms 1 and 2 are activated, alarm 1 displays on monitor 1 because the alarm order is FIFO (refer to the initial conditions). Alarm order for monitor 2 is set to Priority, so alarm 2 displays on monitor 2. Monitor 3 displays alarm 2 because this monitor was not included in the Edit Alarm Call-Up for alarm 1 (note that monitor 3 has no camera associated on alarm 1). Refer to Figure 12C. When alarm 2 is acknowledged from monitor 2, it is cleared from monitor 2’s stack only. Because of the specified initial conditions, monitors 1 and 3 are not affected. Refer to Figure 12D.

Acknowledging Alarms

The information in this section assumes that the Auto Acknowledge command was disabled during system programming. The ALARM button, located on the V1422 local panel, is used to acknowledge alarms (refer to Figure 9 on page 23). If the currently-selected monitor has been defined as an alarm monitor, the first press of the ALARM button will acknowledge the alarm whose video is displaying on the alarm monitor. If the selected monitor is not an alarm monitor, the first press of the ALARM button will select the lowest-numbered alarm monitor, and the second press will clear the alarm. Each subsequent press of the ALARM button will clear one alarm (if multiple alarms are active). In common stack mode, acknowledging the last alarm is the final step. In independent stack mode, alarms may be active on other alarm monitors even after the last alarm is acknowledged from the current alarm monitor. Therefore, after the last alarm is acknowledged on the currently-selected alarm monitor, the next press of the ALARM button will select the next lowest-numbered alarm monitor. For example, in a system with monitors 1, 3 and 4 defined as alarm monitors, if alarm monitor 3 was selected when alarms were activated, the next lowest-numbered alarm monitor is monitor 1. If alarm monitor 1 had been selected when alarms were activated, the next-lowest alarm monitor would be alarm monitor 3. The next lowest-numbered alarm monitor is always the alarm monitor that has not yet been viewed and which has the lowest number. Each subsequent press of the ALARM button will clear one alarm until all alarms have been acknowledged on that alarm monitor. Sequencing alarms are processed in a similar manner, as discussed in Acknowledging Sequencing Alarms. The LCD will display “ALARM!” when the first alarm activates. This display will clear when the last alarm is acknowledged. Note that if the audible alarm is enabled during programming, an audible alarm will sound each time alarm(s) are activated until the first alarm is acknowledged. For example, if alarms 1, 2, and 3 activate then the alarm will sound until the first alarm is acknowledged. If at that time alarm 4 activated, the audible alarm would start again.

Acknowledging Sequencing Alarms

Figure 13 illustrates the conditions and actions of a V1422 system with multiple active, sequencing alarms. It is assumed for this example that the Auto Acknowledge command is disabled, the audible alarm is enabled, and the Alarm Sequencing command is enabled, using the V1422 programming screens discussed in NOVA Digital Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834. The V1422 audible alarm will sound and the LCD will display “ALARM!” when the first alarm activates. Alarm video may only be viewed on monitors which have been defined during programming to be alarm monitors. As shown in Figure 13, the consequences of pressing the ALARM key depend upon whether the currently-selected monitor is an alarm monitor. If an alarm monitor is already selected when the alarms activate, pressing the ALARM key will halt sequencing. Pressing the ALARM key again will acknowledge the currently-displaying alarm video. If common stack mode was chosen during programming, the acknowledged alarm will be removed from the common monitor stack. If independent stack mode was chosen, each alarm monitor has its own alarm stack (an alarm stack is a list of active alarms). In this mode, an acknowledged alarm may be either cleared from all monitor stacks or only from the stack of the selected alarm monitor, depending upon the programming. Sequencing resumes with the remaining alarms in the stack. If the currently-selected monitor is not an alarm monitor, the first press of the ALARM key will select the lowest-numbered alarm monitor. For example, if monitors 3, 4, and 5 are alarm monitors, alarm monitor 3 will be selected. The second ALARM key press will halt sequencing and the third press will acknowledge the displayed alarm and resume sequencing, as discussed in the previous paragraph. When the first alarm is acknowledged, the audible alarm will cease.

32 • Operation X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422

Remaining alarms are acknowledged in this same manner, with one ALARM key press to halt sequencing and another ALARM key press to acknowledge the alarm and resume sequencing. When all alarms for the currently-selected alarm monitor are acknowledged, the alarm monitor will display the pre-alarm video, blank the screen, or leave the last alarm video onscreen, depending upon the choices made during programming. Refer to the Set Monitor Acknowledge Control programming screen, discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834, for more information. If the V1422 was programmed to use common stack mode, alarm processing is finished. If independent stack mode is used, there may be active alarms on other alarm monitor stacks which may not be viewed using the currently-selected alarm monitor stack. This can occur because of camera-to-monitor partitioning; alarms from cameras which are not partitioned to the currently-selected alarm monitor cannot be viewed on that monitor. Therefore, active alarms may remain in the system although all alarms that may be viewed on the currently-selected monitor have been acknowledged. In this case, the next press of the ALARM key will select the next lowest-numbered alarm monitor, and the sequencing alarm process will begin again. When all alarms have been acknowledged from all alarm monitor stacks, the selected alarm monitor will restore pre-alarm video, blank, or take no action, depending upon programming definitions.

Tour Operation

A tour is a series of preprogrammed video displays from various camera stations. This series may be comprised of video from cameras on a monitor (monitor tour) or video from various cameras on various monitors (salvo tour). Preset positions, preset lens settings, and dwell times may be associated with each step in a tour. A step is defined as a salvo for salvo tours or one particular camera, preset, dwell for a monitor tour. For example, a monitor tour might be defined to display the video from camera 1’s preset 1 and then camera 2’s preset 10, both on monitor 1. This would be a two-step tour. An example of a salvo tour might be defined to perform salvo 1 then salvo 3. Salvo 1 could be programmed to display camera 1’s preset 1 on monitor 1 simultaneously with camera 2’s video at preset 10 on monitor 2. This video might be replaced during the second step of the tour, depending upon the programming of salvo 3.

Note: Referring to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834,

specify the parameters necessary to define the monitor or salvo tour. Referring to Preset Operation on page 26, define each preset to be used in the tour.

Activating Tours

After a tour is defined, as discussed in the previous section, a tour may be activated from a keypad. The number used to identify the tour is the tour’s dial-up number. Dial-up tour numbers may be user-defined; therefore, refer to the appropriate programming screen to identify the appropriate numbers. Perform the following procedure.

Note: By default, tour dial-up numbers are 100 plus the tour number. For example, if the default dial-up

number is used for tour 1, the dial-up number is 101. Dial-up numbers may be user-defined, as discussed in the NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834.

1. Place the RUN/PGM switch in the RUN position.

2. Enter the tour’s dial-up number using the numeric keypad.

Note: Enter a “9” before the tour’s dial-up number to load a tour for quick access. This tour will then activate

each time the SEQ key is pressed, until the V1422 is rebooted or a new tour is loaded for quick access. Note that a tour loaded in this manner cannot be chained to a second tour. (Tours are defined to chain to the next tour during programming. Refer to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching

System Programming Manual X834.)

3. Press the SEQ key.

4. Press SEQ while a tour is active to advance one step in the tour. The LCD status line will identify the tour type as Monitor Tour or Salvo Tour.

Deactivating Tours

To cancel a running tour, press the RUBOUT key and use the joystick to pan-and-tilt to a new location. A tour may also be deactivated by manually selecting a camera.

Note: The procedure listed above must be performed for each monitor in a salvo tour.

If a tour is deactivated while a pan-and-tilt drive is moving to a preset, the tour will be canceled when

the pan-and-tilt reaches the preset position.

X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422 Operation • 35

Salvo Operation

A salvo is defined as the simultaneous display of video from various cameras on various monitors. Salvos may be used to define the steps in salvo tours, as discussed in Tour Operation, or they may be executed as an independent function. Salvo video displays may be initiated by performing the following procedure.

Note: Referring to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834,

specify the parameters necessary to define a salvo. Referring to Preset Operation on page 26, define each preset to be used in the salvo.

Activating Salvos

After a salvo is defined, as discussed in the previous section, a salvo may be activated from a keypad. The number used to identify the salvo is the salvo’s dial-up number. Dial-up salvo numbers may be user-defined; therefore, refer to the appropriate programming screen to identify the appropriate numbers. Perform the following procedure.

Note: By default, salvo dial-up numbers are 200 plus the salvo number. For example, if the default dial-up

number is used for salvo 1, the dial-up number is 201. Dial-up numbers may be user-defined as discussed in the NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834.

1. Place the RUN/PGM switch in the RUN position.

2. Enter the salvo’s dial-up number using the numeric keypad.

3. Press the CAM key.

Deactivating Salvos

To cancel a running salvo on the currently-selected monitor, perform the following procedure:

1. Press the RUBOUT key.

2. Use the joystick to pan-and-tilt to a new location.

Note: If this procedure is performed while a pan-and-tilt is moving to a preset, the salvo will be canceled when

the pan-and-tilt reaches the preset position.

Clearing Communications Failures

Communications between the V1422 and other system components may fail due to broken electrical connections from a variety of sources. The announcement of communications failures may be acknowledged and reset using the FAIL key (refer to Figure 9 on page 23). The LCD status line will display a “COMM!” message until the FAIL key is pressed, even if communications have resumed.

Clearing Errors

Invalid keypad entries will cause an error message to be displayed on the LCD. To clear the error message, press the RUBOUT key. The RUBOUT key may also be used to clear monitor, camera, and preset entries, one digit at a time, before the final key in the sequence is entered.
