MegaPower 48 Plus is an IP-enabled matrix switcher/controller
system that can operate as a standalone system or as part of
a network. Choose from one of three expansion modes and
grow your system by up to 288 inputs. Whether used as a
centralized or distributed system, MegaPower 48 Plus can be
cost-effectively installed and optimized for the most challenging
of site requirements.
The new EASY 48 system configuration software is a
user-friendly MS Windows application that permits the
administrator to program MegaPower 48 Plus either on-site
or remotely via Ethernet or RS-232. Use it to remotely check
the system status of cameras and monitors via an Ethernet
connection or to back up and restore system data.
The slim modular wall-mount design saves space and reduces
cabling costs by letting you install MegaPower 48 Plus in
the location that is most central to your cameras. Because it
doesn’t have to be rack mounted in a control room,
MegaPower 48 Plus can be installed anywhere in your facility
– even an electrical closet, or maximize the space and fit in
more devices in your standard rack by installing it at 90°
angle behind other equipment. You can also rack mount
MegaPower 48 Plus at other angles to facilitate easy cable
connections with the optional rack mount kit.

System Expansion
Systems are expanded with a primary-to-secondary
relationship. There are three modes of expansion,
using Ethernet for command and control. If inter-matrix
communication is disrupted, all secondary units continue
functioning locally and the primary provides status to users of
the fault condition.
Mode 0: Basic system, 48 video inputs, 16 full crosspoint
video outputs.
Mode 1: The primary unit has 16 video trunk lines from each
of up to three secondary units, providing 16 full
crosspoint video outputs with up to 144 video inputs.
Mode 2: The primary unit has 12 video trunk lines from each
of up to four secondary units, providing 12 full
crosspoint video outputs with up to 192 video inputs.
Each secondary has three local outputs with full
crosspoint video switching of local cameras.
Mode 3: The primary unit has eight video trunk lines from
each of up to six secondary units, providing 8 full
crosspoint video outputs with up to 288 video inputs.
Each secondary has seven local outputs with full
crosspoint video switching of local cameras.
Camera Site Control
Users can control domes, pan/tilts, motorized lenses, auxiliary
outputs, presets and patterns at suitably-equipped camera
sites via SensorNet, RS-422 and Manchester outputs. To
better support legacy SpeedDomes and installations that use
simplex RS-422 communication, the system allows presets to
be stored in the dome.
System Programming
On-screen menus enable you to program system features
from any full-system keyboard. Operators can use the monitors
with text overlay to program the system. In addition, the
EASY 48 system configuration software enables you to
custom-configure using computers running Windows XP,
2000, 95/98 or NT 4.0. This software package provides
simplified setup, archiving and retrieval of setup as well as the
ability to load and retrieve that data via Ethernet or RS-232.
RS-232 Communications
Eight direct ports allow standard communication with
keyboards, alarm interface units, recorder control devices,
computers, third party devices, modems (for text message
paging), and more. Each port can expand to four ports with
an optional port expander.
Mode 3 Example
Selectable On-Screen Text
Each of the first eight monitors can display the date/time,
video input number, 16-character user-definable video input or
preset title, alarm title, monitor status, and secondary status.
Macro Control
The system’s powerful macros allow each operator to
customize their own ControlCenter 1100 or AD2088/AD2089
workstations to perform a multitude of tasks via simple,
intuitive, easy-to-remember keystrokes.
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.
Pseudo Camera Numbers
Users can assign a four digit number to replace the default
video input number for each video input, making it easier
to identify cameras in multiple level buildings and similar
situations.

System and Monitor Tours
A tour is a sequence of video inputs with each input featuring
an individual dwell time, a preset/pattern and an auxiliary
action. Tours can run forward or in reverse. Video partitioned
from a monitor is 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 system tours to video outputs.
Event timers also enable you to activate and deactivate alarm
contacts based on the time of day.
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, pattern and/or auxiliary
action) can be called either manually or as part of a
system tour.
Automatic Alarm Callup
Alarm inputs can be programmed to call any video input or
salvo to any one or more video outputs. For each alarm input,
users can define a camera, preset, pattern, wireless text
message, salvo, alarm message and/or auxiliary action (with
individual dwell time for each to accommodate sequencing
alarms). In addition, two local patch panel relays can be
triggered upon any alarm event. Any combination of 25 alarm
display/clearance methods may be selected independently for
each video output. Alarms can hold or sequence on outputs.
Blocks of monitors can be defined; normal, automatic and
instant clearing are supported.
Internal Video Loss Detection
Video loss detection is standard on all video inputs. Upon
video loss, a system alarm is generated. Enabling video loss
detection occupies video output 16.
Text Message Paging on Alarm
MegaPower 48 Plus can transmit text messages to cellular
phones and pagers when an alarm occurs, alerting users with
a detailed description of the event and instructions for how to
respond. With alarm programming, a single event can trigger
multiple unique messages to one or more recipients. You can
program as many as 64 different pager profiles and define
up to 250 unique text messages for transmitting. The paging
feature supports the TAP protocol via an external modem
(not supplied).
Status Output
System status output via an RS-232 printer port may be
programmed to output both the occurrence and clearing of
all alarms as well as power status and monitor messages.
System Partitioning
System flexibility is further enhanced by defining authorized
access to keyboards, video inputs and video outputs. System
partitioning includes:
• Keyboard-to-Monitor Access: Restricts selected keyboards
from accessing selected video outputs.
• Monitor-to-Camera Access: Restricts selected video outputs
from displaying selected video inputs.
• Keyboard-to-Camera Access: Restricts selected keyboards
from calling or controlling selected video inputs.
• Keyboard-to-Camera Control Access: Allows selected
keyboards to access views from certain cameras but
restricts those keyboards from controlling the cameras.
Password and Priority Operation
Keyboards or users can be assigned one of eight priority levels
for controlling 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.
Diagnostics and Dome Information
Screens
Built-in diagnostics clearly indicate power status and system
health, allowing you to determine the status of the system’s
internal components. The dome information screen shows the
video detection status, dome mnemonic, dome protocol,
dome software version and whether the dome is responding
to the system polls for each camera on the system.
For troubleshooting purposes, the dome ping test screen
allows the installer to verify the integrity of SensorNet and
RS-422 communications and display dome firmware
number, mnemonic, serial number and production date.
Flash Memory Module for Data Backup
The system is comprised of a passive patch panel for all
system wiring and a removable main electronics unit (MEU).
There is also a flash memory module that is separate from the
MEU and lets you automatically back up data without a PC.
This allows you to replace a system and restore the existing
data in less than one minute.
Digital Video Management
System Control
The AD2089 keyboard allows you to control Intellex digital
video management systems including playback of archived
video. This feature requires Intellex and Network Client v4.04.
