Mounting
•As shown in Figure 1, a matrix switching bay fits
into a standard 48.3cm (19in) rack with a height of
26.7cm (10.5in) or one rack wide by six racks
high.
•Bays require a minimum of 44mm (1.75in)
clearance from bay-to-bay (one rack unit). Ensure
airflow around the bays for proper ventilation.
•For multiple bay configurations, carefully identify
the bays before mounting and place video inputs
near the top of the racks to avoid tangled cables.
Figure 1. Bay mounting dimensions
Power Source
•Matrix switcher bay AD2010N and AD2020N
connect to a 120Vac, 50-60Hz power source.
These bays use an integrated 3-wire cord for
mating to the power source.
•Matrix switcher bay AD2010P and AD2020P
connect to a 100–240Vac, 50-60Hz power source.
Note: This unit has a Euro-style IEC-type inlet. A
suitable detachable cord connects between the
IEC 320 inlet and the power source. The cord

Connections
•Set jumpers in plug-in modules before making
system connections.
•System connections require good grade, 75-ohm,
RG-59U video cable (Belden 8241 or equivalent)
with BNC connectors. Complete all connections
before applying power.
•Terminate all video outputs at the last bay in the
run to 75 ohms. An un-terminated run results in a
brighter picture than desired. A double terminated
run results in a darker picture than desired.
•To facilitate servicing, identify all connecting
cables with source/destination numbers.
General
•Perform each installation in a planned and orderly
manner.
CAUTION: Each bay uses plug-in VIMs
(video input modules) and VOMs (video
output modules). Although VIMs and
VOMs can plug into any slot of a bay
and still work (as long as they are
properly configured), it is important to
plug all VIMs in series “starting from the
right-most slot” and all VOMs in series
“starting from the left-most slot”. If this is
not done, future expansion and
troubleshooting will be difficult.
•Confirm that each piece of equipment operates as
early as possible during the installation procedure.
It is easier to remove a few temporary
connections than it is to disconnect and re-wire a
large number of permanent connections.
Powering Up the System
Bring the system online only after:
•The CPU has been installed and connected
•Video input has been connected
•At least one monitor has been connected for
viewing the output
•All lines are properly terminated
•At least one keyboard (or external computer) has
been connected for control
•Power has been connected to the equipment, one
bay at a time, ending with the CPU.
Glossary of Terms
Terms used in this guide are as follows:
Matrix Switching Bay = A device that can switch a large
number of video inputs such as cameras to multiple video
outputs that connect to a device such as a monitor, DVR,
or VCR.
VIM = Video input module (each VIM supports up to 16
video inputs). Up to 16 VIMs can plug into a bay but its
number may be limited by the amount of VOMs in the bay.
VOM = Video output module (each VOM supports up to 4
video output devices). Up to 16 VOMs can plug into a bay
but its number may be limited by the amount of VIMs in the
bay.
Camera Group = Each matrix switching bay supports a
camera group of up to 256 video inputs: camera group 1
(1-256 inputs), camera group 2 (257-512 inputs), camera
group 3 (513-768 inputs), and so on.
Monitor Level = A monitor level is up to 16 video outputs
supported by one or more bays: monitor level 1 (1 -16
outputs), level 2 (17-32 outputs), level 3 (33-48 outputs),
and so on. Video outputs can be in one or more bays.
ADDL (AD Data Line) = One data line controls up to four
monitor levels (or 64 video outputs). Four data lines control
up to 16 monitor levels (or 256 video outputs).
Data Buffer = Amplifies video and filters data before
sending it to a video output device.

About the Product
Note: Refer to the Glossary of Terms on page 3
while reading this section.
The MegaPower 3200 matrix switching bay system
can switch one of up to 3200 video inputs (typically
from cameras) to one of up to 256 video outputs
(typically to monitors).
The maximum 3200 video input x 256 video output
system is shown in Figure 4. In this case, the system
manages inputs and outputs as follows:
•The 3200 video inputs (shown horizontally) are
divided into 13 camera groups, with each group
(256 inputs) supported by a switching bay.
•The 256 video outputs (shown vertically) are
divided into groups of up to 16, with each group
called a monitor level.
Matrix Switching Bays
Note: The number of video inputs versus video
outputs required determines the number of bays
used in a matrix, and the use and number of
components in each bay.
As shown in Figure 2, from right-to-left, the rear of a
typical bay contains:
•An integrated AD2010PS power supply module
that converts ac to dc power to support the bay.
•AD2010DB-01 plug-in data buffer module that
amplifies the video signals and if required, filters
associated data.
•Either 16 plug-in AD2016AVIM video input
modules (VIMs), 16 AD2034BVOM video output
modules (VOMs), or a combination of both.

Plug-in Modules
Except for the power supply, each plug-in module
has a BNC panel that plugs into the rear of the bay
and front panel/circuit board assembly that plugs into
the front of the bay (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Plug-in modules shown in the bay
Plug-in modules are as follows:
VIMs: A VIM, as directed by the keyboard, acts as a
primary switch by selecting a video input from a
camera group and making it available to the video
switching bus along the backplane. A VIM:
•Can support up to 16 camera inputs.
•Is installed from right to left in the rear of the bay,
the number of VIMs required depends on the
number of camera inputs to be switched. If a bay
cannot support the required number of VIMs,
additional bays are required.
•Comes factory configured for the camera group it
is to receive input from and the monitor level it will
support. However, the installer must configure the
VIM (using jumpers) if they are replacing a
defective one or adding one to an existing system.
Data buffer module: This module takes an input
from each VIM, amplifies them, and makes them
available externally via cable connections to other
bays.

VOMs: A VOM, as directed by the keyboard, acts as
a secondary switch by selecting which of its four
video outputs (A, B, C, or D) connects to the video
input selected by the VIM of a camera group. A
VOM:
•Is installed in the bay for the highest camera
group.
•Comes in three types: VOM-1 supports four
camera groups, VOM-3 supports eight camera
groups, and VOM-4 supports 13 camera groups.
IMPORTANT! The highest camera group is
always received internally from the bay the VOM
resides. All other camera groups are received
externally from other bays via VOM cables. The
video path of a video input is shown in Figure 7.
•Provides text overlay to the video signal.
•Comes factory configured for the monitor levels it
will support. However, the installer must configure
the VOM (using jumpers) if they are replacing a
defective one or adding one to an existing system.
Standard vs. Condensed Bays
A switching bay can be an AD2010 standard bay or
AD2020 condensed bay.
Standard Bay
The standard bay (Figure 5) contains a video
switching bus along an internal backplane that has
16 lines.
Note: A standard bay is considered “mixed” when it
contains both VIMs and VOMs, or “dedicated” when
it contains only VIMs or VOMs. VOMs are installed in
only in the bay for the highest numbered camera
group.

Power Supply Module
The AD2010PS power supply module converts ac to
dc which powers the bay.
Power Supply Front Panel
Referring to Figure 9:
1. SET UP/NORMAL SWITCH: In the SET UP
position, this switch enables sync test and
adjustment. The red LED blinks when the switch
is in the SET UP position.
2. SYNC LOSS LED: This red LED is off if video
sync is locked. When lit, it indicates that sync is
not locked due either to a poor or wrong sync
signal or none at all (as determined by the slide
switch just below it).
3. SYNC REFERENCE SELECTION SWITCH: This
switch selects one of three video sync references:
•EXT V-DRIVE (up position): Selects the
external vertical drive pulse input on the rear
panel (EXT SYNC IN).
•EXT CAM (center position): Selects composite
video.
•AC LINE (down position): Selects the ac line
(as supplied).
4. SYNC PHASE ADJUSTMENT: Accessed
through the hole in the front panel of the power
supply, an adjustment screw adjusts the phase of
the sync pulse with respect to the selected
reference. When the sync test switch is set to
SET UP, a horizontal line displays on Monitor 1 to
show the location of the sync pulse with respect
to the picture.
5. +9Vdc AND –9Vdc LEDs: These green LEDs
light to indicate that dc voltages are present
(Note: For 240Vac systems, output voltages are
±8Vdc).
6. POWER ON/OFF SWITCH: This switch is used to
apply power to the bay. When in the ON position,
this switch lights up green.
Power Supply Rear Panel
Referring to Figure 9:
7. SERIAL # TAG: Serial number assigned to this
switching bay.

Video Input Module
Note: VIMs are installed, configured, and labeled
either in the factory or by a technician in the field.
As directed by the keyboard, an AD2016AVIM
(Figure 10) selects which one of up to 16 video
inputs is used for display (primary switch). The video
path is shown on Figure 11.
•Factory set jumpers on the VIM circuit board
identify the video input and output range for the
VIM.
•A camera symbol identifies the video inputs.
•A label next to the BNCs shows the input number
and a label at the top of the VIM shows the lowest
camera input for that VIM according to its location
within the bay(s).
A VIM can have one of four rear panels:
•AD2016AVIM-1: A VIM-1 has 16 rear panel BNC
connectors that receive video from a camera and
send it to the plug-in circuit board configured for
the video input/output ranges. The video is then
sent to the back plane.

•AD2016AVIM-2 and AD2016AVIM-3: As shown in
Figure 12, VIM-2 and -3s work together to create
16 video inputs. Each has eight rear panel video
input connectors to receive video input. The video
is sent to the plug-in circuit board factory
configured for the video input/output ranges and
then to the back plane.
- The VIM-2 has a 34-pin ribbon coax cable
connector that receives eight video inputs from
the VIM-3 in addition to its own eight inputs (for
a total of 16). The ribbon connector also sends
eight inputs from the VIM-2 to the VIM-3.
- The VIM-3 has two 34-pin ribbon coax cable
connectors: an IN connector to receive eight
video inputs from a VIM-2 and to send its own
eight inputs to the VIM-2 (for a total of 16), and
an OUT connector to expand its own eight
inputs and the eight inputs from the VIM-2 to
more monitor levels via a VIM-4.
•AD2016AVIM-4: Has two 34-pin ribbon cable
connectors (Figure 12):
- An IN connector to receive the 16 video inputs
from a VIM-3.
- An OUT connector to expand the 16 inputs to
more monitor levels.
- The OUT connector is terminated with 75
ohms if the last in a series.

Configuring a VIM
CAUTION: A VIM circuit board can plug
into any unused slot that has a rear VIM
BNC panel. However, to install the system
efficiently and to facilitate troubleshooting,
ALWAYS install VIMs in series beginning
at the right-most slot as viewed from the
rear of the bay.
CAUTION: The video input selection is
independent of the video output selection.
However, both inputs and outputs must be
selected correctly based on the slot the
VIM is plugged in to.
Set the VIM to identify the inputs and outputs it is to
respond to. The VIM has two 8-position switches: S1
and S3. Referring to Figure 13, Table 4 and Table 5:
1. Remove the VIM from the bay.
2. Set switch S1 positions 1 and 2 to select one of
16 monitor levels (each containing 16 monitors).
The monitor level is determined by the bay’s
hierarchy within the matrix system.
3. Set switch S3 positions 1 and 2 for the
appropriate range of inputs in increments of 1024
(positions 3 through 8 are not used).
4. Set switch S1 positions 3 through 8 to narrow the
input selection to the VIM’s 16 inputs. The 16
inputs selected is determined by the VIM’s
location in the bay and the bay’s hierarchy within
the matrix system.
5. Plug the module into the right-most open VIM slot.
6. Repeat this procedure for the next VIM, if
required.

Data Buffer Module
The AD2010DB-01 data buffer (Figure 14) is used
when video must be amplified and sent externally to
a VOM(s) in another bay (see Figure 15).
The data buffer:
•Amplifies video for up to 16 video inputs (but does
not provide a text overlay).
•Always inserts into the slot adjacent to the power
supply.
•Is labeled on its rear panel to reflect its camera
group when it is used to route video to VOMs in
another bay.
•Is not used for video coming internally from VIMs
in the bay the VOM resides. When the data buffer
is not used, a “Test/Expansion” label replaces the
output numbers on the rear panel.
•Filters the data line, if so configured. Filtering
reduces the number of data line switching packets
to improve switching speed in bays having only
VIMs. Filtering is rarely used and is not available
in expanded systems having over 1024 cameras.
Preconfigured systems have filtering set to OFF.
Note: An AD2010DBVL data buffer module with
video loss detection can be used instead in bays
used for the highest monitor level (see Appendix A
for description). When video loss detection is
desired, an RJ-45 jack used for communication with
the CPU replaces one BNC, reducing total video
outputs by one. See Appendix A.

Configuring a Data Buffer Module
The data buffer module has three switches: slide
switch S1, and 8-position switches S2 and S3 (see
Figure 16).
1. Remove the module from the bay.
2. Set switch S1 to NORMAL.
3. Set switch S2 positions 1 and 2 to turn the filter
on or off (Table 6).

CAUTION: Turn the filter on only
when the bay in which it resides is
dedicated to VIMs! Turning the filter
on reduces AD data line switch
packets. If the BVOM is in the same
bay as the data buffer module
(signals sent internally), turn the filter
off to allow all switch packets to pass.
4. For each data line used, set switch S3 to
identify which camera group goes to which
monitor level (Table 7).
5. Plug the module into the data buffer slot.

Video Output Module
The AD2024BVOM:
•As directed by the keyboard, acts as a
secondary switch by selecting which of its four
video outputs (A, B, C, or D) connects to the
video input selected by the VIM of a camera
group.
•Has jumpers on its circuit board that identify the
video input and output ranges for the BVOM.
•Adds titles and time/date characters to switched
video.
The video path through the BVOM is shown in
Figure 17.
