serious damage to the equipment. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of
the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.
9. A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
10. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the equipment and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Equipment should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.
11. POWER SOURCES – This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,
consult your product dealer or local power company. For products designed to operate from
battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION – The power supply supplied with this unit may be equipped
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. OVERLOADING – Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

SECTION 1:
OVERVIEW
1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MAXPRO-Net system is designed as an expandable full matrix video switching
system. It can be as small as 32 video inputs and a single video output channel, or a full
matrix configuration of over 1000 cameras and 256 video output channels is possible.
Larger systems can be constructed using split matrix and networking techniques.
All video output channels can support overlaid text insertion to provide camera
identification, channel labeling, current time/date, and other system & operator status
information.
Ninety Nine (99) individually identified keyboards can be implemented on the one
MAXPRO-Net system. Each keyboard can operate the system concurrently. If
necessary, more keyboards can be implemented using networking.
Ninety-nine (99) different operators can be defined on any one MAXPRO-Net system.
Each system operator has programmable access rights and priority codes.
Full camera control (pan/tilt and lens functions) can be implemented for direct control
from each keyboard. Where Video Cassette Recorders are utilized in a MAXPRO-Net
system, the standard control functions (stop, play, record, rewind, fast-forward, pause,
slow mode and optional eject) are available from the keyboards. Remote control
interface of other video processing equipment can also be implemented (e.g. motion
detectors, freeze frame units video multiplexes, quads, etc.).
External alarm inputs and auxiliary control output circuits can also be configured in the
MAXPRO-Net system.
When an alarm is detected by the MAXPRO-Net system, an automatic system response
can be programmed to take place. These automatic responses are called MACRO
SEQUENCES, which allow total flexibility of system operation for any given alarm input.
More important, these MACRO SEQUENCES automate the responses of different
system alarms, minimizing the margin of human error during alarm conditions.
Control output circuits are used to extend the automation and control of the system. For
example, they could be used to control door latches and boom gates, which are remote
from the control room.
Control output circuits can be directly controlled in several different ways:
 By a given alarm input status,
 Manual operation from a keyboard, or
 From virtually any system action that might occur.

1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION, CONTINUED
VideoBlox Hardware is also supported by MAXPRO-Net. Refer to the VideoBlox section
in this manual for more details.
The MAXPRO-Net system can be structured and programmed to meet virtually any
crosspoint matrix video switching design specification.
1.2 SYSTEM STRUCTURE
As mentioned previously, the MAXPRO-Net system is structured as a matrix video
switching system, integrated with external alarm inputs and auxiliary control outputs.
1.2.1 Keyboards
A single MAXPRO-Net matrix video system can accommodate up to ninety-nine (99)
keyboards. They can all operate the system at the same time and yet be totally
independent of each other.
Keyboards can be thought of as devices that provide the operator with a well-organized
environment to work in. All possible functions available for use in a matrix video system
can be accessed from the keyboards, through the keys. Cameras, monitors, VCRs and
pan/tilts (PTZs) are just some of the function keys on a keyboard.
An operator to whom access is permitted can, with the correct key press, control the
allowable system devices. Keys can be reprogrammed to incorporate other functions as
well as their own designated functions; or the key could be reprogrammed to perform an
entirely different function.
The reprogramming of the keyboard keys is accomplished with the use of the 'Intercept
Keyboard Keys' sub-menu in the MAXPRO-Net configuration editor, SETMAX (see
Chapter 6, System Commissioning).
1.2.2 Mimic Panels, Discontinued
Mimic panels were available as part of a MAX1000 system. These hardware panels are
no longer available with the MAXPRO-Net hardware. However, the MAXPRO-Net
configurator supports configuring these panels in systems where the software is being
upgraded.
