Videotec Security SM328B PC Programmable Video Matrix 32 inputs, 8 outputs

The video matrix SM328B offers a solution for the collection and management of images, capable of switching 32 video inputs to 8 independent outputs and activating 32 different synchronized sequences among several monitors, with day, night or holidays cycles. The matrix provides 32 alarm inputs and 8 relays outputs controlled by events or alarm contacts (alarm groups). Alarms can be reset through a keyboard, external contacts or automatic timed reset. The matrix can be easily configured through an OSD or through a PC (Windows 98/2000/XP). In applications like shopping malls, department stores and banks where monitors are shown to the public as a deterrent, an important feature of the matrix is the camera exclusion. If the operator recalls a video input or acts on a PTZ camera, the selected camera can be excluded and/or replaced by another video input from the switching sequence of any public monitor. Following an alarm condition, in addition to a buzzer or on screen text, the SM328B is capable of intelligent actions: we can program on alarm actions on monitors (sequences and cameras) and on telemetry (scan or home position or patrol). For privacy reasons the video inputs can also be masked on fixed cameras. The matrix is equipped with 2 RS485 serial outputs. Through these outputs we can perform telemetry or other matrix control. I t is also possible to connect additional matrix in Master/Slave or Parallel systems. In a Master/Slave system the master matrix can receive 4 outputs from every Slave (max 4). See layout 2. I n a Parallel system, up to 9 matrix can be connected together. See layout 3. I n a Master/Slave system, Master keyboards can control all system cameras; Slave keyboards control only local cameras. I n a Parallel system each keyboard can control all system cameras. DCK, D CJ and D CT keyboards, microprocessor controlled, allow you to directly control cameras, switching sequences and alarm conditions.
