FEATURES
The MegaPower 1024 is the ultimate high-density
video matrix switcher/controller system. This full-
featured, pre-packaged, modular system is designed
for the largest and most sophisticated users of CCTV,
such as airports, corporate or government complexes,
casinos, and large medical centers.
The microprocessor based switcher/controller allows
you to automate your entire electronic security
infrastructure. This permits a single operator (or
multiple operators) to easily manage a highly
complex CCTV system.
The MegaPower 1024 system's powerful macro
programming feature allows for unsurpassed ease of
use, even with the most complex and demanding
installations. Each operator can customize his or her
own keyboard to perform a multitude of system tasks
via simple, easy to remember keystrokes intuitive to
that operator.
The system supports a variety of recorder control
devices, allowing for control of VCRs and digital
recorders directly from any suitably equipped system
keyboard.
A single CPU controls an entire system of up to 1024
video inputs and 128 video outputs. Pre-packaged
systems are available in any combination of modular
increments of 16 video inputs and four video
outputs.
Satellite programming of multiple systems allows for
full cross-point switching and control of up to 8192
video inputs, satisfying the demands of today's
largest systems.
The Windows-based system setup software, provided
with the system, greatly simplifies the process of
customizing and archiving operational parameters.
In addition to camera, site and alarm monitor text,
operators can also see which user or keyboard with
equal or higher priority has control of or has locked a
PTZ/dome.
Optional Hot-Switch capability provides backup
protection to insure uninterrupted system operation.

Macro Control
The system’s powerful macros allow each operator to customize his or her own
MP1000cc or AD2088 workstation to perform a multitude of tasks via simple, easy to
remember keystrokes that are intuitive to that operator. Once macros have been
programmed for a keyboard, that set of macros is stored locally.
Each keyboard can be programmed differently to accommodate individual user
preferences, needs and requirements. Alternatively, a set of macros can also be
“copied” from one keyboard to another. Macros allow for unsurpassed ease of use,
even with the most complex and demanding installations.
Recorder Control
Users can control all of the standard recorder functions directly from any suitably
equipped keyboard — play, stop, pause, record, rewind, fast forward and eject — for
both VCRs and digital recorders.
Flexible Configurations
Modular, high density, pre-packaged systems in any combination of 16 video input
and 4 video output increments up to a maximum of 1024 video inputs by 128 video
outputs. Expanded satellite systems accommodated up to 8192 inputs.
Site Control
Users can control fixed or variable-speed domes, pan/tilts, motorized lenses, auxiliary
outputs, and 72 presets per video input at suitably-equipped camera sites.
System Programming
On-screen menus enable you to use a full system keyboard to program system
features. The video output for programming from the CPU can connect directly to a
monitor or to an input of the switcher/controller system for callup on system
monitors. The AD1024S3 system setup software enables you to custom-configure all
system parameters. For use with computers running Windows 98 or NT 4.0, this
software package provides simplified system setup, archiving and retrieval of setup
data, and uploading and downloading of system setups to the AD1024CPU, all
via RS-232.
RS-232 Communications
Ten ports allow standard communication with keyboards, alarm interface units,
satellite system CPUs, recorder control devices, third party interfaces, computers, etc.
Each port is individually programmable for data rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600
baud. Each port can expand to four ports with the optional port expander. This
expands the maximum available RS-232 ports to 40.
Selectable On-Screen Display
Each monitor can display the date/time, video input number and title, site number
and title, and monitor status. Three date formats are provided: MM/DD/YY,
DD/MM/YY, or YY/MM/DD. The on-screen display uses white characters with black
outline to optimize viewing on diverse contrast scenes. The user can turn the
following displays on and off: video input number and monitor status, video input
title, and date/time displays. Text controls include incremental horizontal/vertical
positioning and display brightness. When attempting to control a PTZ/dome, each
monitor can also display which user or keyboard of equal or higher priority has
control or has locked the camera.
Pseudo Camera Numbers
For each video input, users can assign a 4-digit number to replace the default video
input number. This can aid operators in identification, such as in the case of multiple
level buildings or satellite configurations.
Monitor Tours
An operator can define a tour for any video output at any time. These tours provide 64
positions for insertion of video inputs—each with an individual dwell time. The same
video input may be inserted in multiple positions. Tours can be run forward or in
reverse. Video inputs partitioned from a monitor are automatically skipped.
Universal Tours
Sixty four tours of video inputs or salvos may be established for callup to monitors at
any time. Each tour provides 64 positions for insertion of video inputs—each with an
individual dwell time, a preset, and an auxiliary action. Tours can be run forward or
in reverse. They can include the same video input multiple times and/or multiple
presets from a single camera. Tours can be connected together to form sequences of
more than 64 video inputs. Video inputs partitioned from a monitor are automatically
skipped.
Event Timers
There are 35 user-programmable times available. These times may be independently
designated for multiple days of the week to automatically call up Universal Tours to
video output(s). Event timers also enable you to activate and deactivate alarm
contacts.
Salvo Switching
Salvo switching allows multiple video inputs to be called simultaneously to multiple
contiguous video outputs. Sixty four individual groups (Salvos), consisting of up to
16 video inputs (each with a preset and an auxiliary action) can be called either
manually or as part of a Universal Tour.
Automatic Alarm Callup—1024 Alarm Inputs
Alarm inputs can be programmed to call a video input or groups of video inputs to
any one or more video outputs. A preset, auxiliary action, and individual dwell time
may be defined for each alarm input. Any of 25 alarm display/clearance methods may
be selected independently for each video output.
Alarm Contact Table
The alarm contact table associates alarm input numbers with video inputs for alarm
callup. Four contact tables are available for inclusion in event timers.
Alarm Display Modes
The alarm display mode is user-selectable for each video group.
•Hold: Displays initial alarm until cleared. Queues subsequent alarms.
•Sequence: Sequences multiple alarms with individual dwell times until cleared.
•Sequence and Display: Displays initial alarm on one video output until alarm is
cleared. Subsequent alarms are sequenced on a second output (while they are active).
•Block Hold: Alarms are displayed on blocks (groups) of video outputs. Any number
of blocks may be programmed with up to 16 video outputs in each individual block.
•Block Sequence: Alarms are sequenced on blocks (groups) of video outputs. Any
number of blocks may be programmed with up to 16 video outputs in each
individual block.
Alarm Clearance
The alarm clearance method is user-selectable for each video output.
•Acknowledge: Removes an alarm only after the alarm has been manually
acknowledged.
•AutoClear: Automatically removes an alarm approximately 20 seconds after the
input deactivates (if the alarm has not already been manually acknowledged).
Manual acknowledgment may be disabled as a security measure.
•Instant AutoClear: Automatically removes an alarm when an input deactivates (if
the alarm has not already been manually acknowledged). Manual acknowledgment
may be disabled as a security measure.
Status Output
An RS-232 port may be programmed to output both occurrence of and removal of all
alarm and video loss events. An alarm event message includes date/time of event,
contact number, video input number, and alarm status. Video loss message includes
date/time, video input number, video loss status, sync loss status, and detection mode.
System Partitioning
System flexibility is further enhanced by defining authorized access to keyboards,
video inputs, and video outputs. Partitioning can also be used to limit access to
remote systems. System Partitioning includes the following:
•Keyboard-to-Monitor Access: Prevents selected keyboards from accessing selected
video outputs.
•Monitor-to-Camera Access: Prevents selected video outputs from displaying video
from selected video inputs.
•Keyboard-to-Camera Access: Prevents selected keyboards from calling or
controlling selected video inputs.
•Keyboard-to-Camera Control Access: Prevents selected keyboards from
controlling remote functions at selected camera sites.
Password and Priority Operation
Keyboards or users can be assigned one of 8 levels of priority control of remote camera
sites. Up to 64 user codes, each with a unique password, can be assigned to operators.
Access to certain system features may be restricted depending on a user’s priority level.
Optional Internal Video Loss Detection
This feature alerts an operator to the complete or partial loss of each video input.
Advanced detection circuitry detects loss of video sync or 25%, 50%, 75% loss of video
signal for each input. Requires AD2010DBVL module(s).
