Chapter I General Description
1.1 Description
V2040 Matrix Video Switching system, featuring scalable and
high-density modular structure as well as Ethernet network control
capability, provides flexible and cost-effective solutions to any
security/surveillance application.
Network Video Capability
Multiple V2040s can be networked to provide both local and remote
control of the site cameras via the TCP/IP protocol. Each V2040
unit in the network is referred to as a node, and each node in the
network maintains its full functions. To identify V2040 in a network,
each unit is allocated a unique site number, which is assigned
through the programming menu.
Networking of V2040 systems is required when
1. Two or more individual V2040 systems need to share video and
control features
2. More than 1,024 cameras are required
3. More than 128 monitors are needed for the system (without full
cross-point)
4. Cameras connected to remote V2040s need to be accessed.
The V2040 network communicates over an Ethernet network,
therefore, an Ethernet network will need to be installed.
To connect the V2040 to a network, just plug one end of the
Ethernet cable into a Hub or Switch, while the other end of the cable
plugs into to the Port marked ETHERNET on the rear panel of the
V2040 CPU.
Note:
1. All V2040 CPUs come with a pre-configured network ID of
192.168.0.0, the system administrator must make sure that all
V2040s work at this network ID setting when integrating the
V2040s into an existing Ethernet network.
2. For a specific network setting, please contact the manufacturer
for pre-setting the network ID to ensure they work with existing
devices such as PC’s attached to the same network.
3. Infinova strongly recommends the installer establish a separate
Ethernet network for the V2040 network to ensure uninterrupted
operation and system security.
The V2040 video matrix switching system used in a network
configuration is a CCTV surveillance system for multiple control
SITES, with multiple video inputs, multiple video outputs, and
multiple control stations at each SITE. The V2040 Central
Processing Unit (CPU) is the controlling unit for each individual
SITE in the networking system. Each SITE is a complete CCTV
surveillance system, providing both LOCAL (independent) control
of all resources connected to the V2040 CPU at that SITE, and
REMOTE control of certain resources of other SITES within the
network. Individual V2040 SITES are interconnected via Ethernet
and video trunk lines.
Flexible Design
V2040 adopts a high-density modular design that allows easy
system expansion. It typically consists of a Matrix Switching Bay
and hot-swappable modules including Power Supply Module,
Central Processing Unit (CPU) Module, Data Buffer Module (with
optional Video Loss Detection), Video Input Module (VIM) and
Video Output Module (VOM). Flexible system configurations,
therefore, can be easily customized to meet various requirements.
To facilitate system expansion, V2040 also provides outstanding
Ethernet network control and looping through capability.
Easy Operation & Powerful Programming
Utilizing microprocessor and LSI technology, V2040 can provide
automated electronic surveillance, allowing even a single user to
control an entire CCTV system. A maximum of 1024 video inputs
and 128 video outputs can be controlled from any one of up to 40
keyboards, PCs and other devices.
V2040 provides powerful menu-driven programming, featuring 64
user-defined system tours, 64 salvos, 35 event timers, 15 alarm
display / clearance methods. Optional character information (e.g.,
date, time, video input number, video output title and monitor status)
can also be programmed to aid site surveillance and system
operation.
Available Windows-based system setup software greatly simplifies
the initial setup procedure as well as ongoing maintenance of
system parameters. The matrix communicates with controllers or
PCs via either RS-232 data or TCP/IP protocols. Optional GUI
software V2000/2210 further simplifies system operation and
programming by integrating all functions in an easy-to-use
Windows application. Third-party applications written in ASCII
codes can also be adopted for the system.
System Security
System security involves two approaches: System Partitioning and
User Priority. System Partitioning is used to control keyboard access
to monitors, cameras, camera control and alarms. Five
programmable access controls are provided for Partitioning
management in V2040 system.
With User Priority, system administrators can define a maximum of
64 system users, and assign each user a password and a priority
level. Each of the eight priority levels can also be configured as
desired, permitting different access controls for different
users/keyboards.
Continuous Performance
V2040 is designed for continuous duty operation. Therefore, there
will be no need for any inner maintenance once the installation is
finished. System programming, either via keyboard or GUI software,
is noninvasive and does not require rebooting or power cycling for
storage and/or execution of programmed settings.

2
All the communication ports adopt standard low-voltage interfaces
such as RS-232, High Speed Data Line and N.C/N.O switching
signal, and all connections/disconnections do not require rebooting
or power cycling. It is also the same with video connections.
Easy Installation & Maintenance
Each hot-swappable module locates status indicator(s) on its front
panel to provide easy installation, maintenance and
trouble-shooting.
V2040 is designed for EIA 19" (48.26cm) rack-mounting
(recommended) and desktop-mounting.

2.1.4 Data Buffer Module
The Data Buffer Module has two major functions:
1. Video Distribution: In a multiple-bay system, it distributes
switched video from a bay's Video Input Modules to other bays.
The video signals from these outputs only contain standard video,
without any character information.
2. Data Filtering: It filters incoming system information from the
DATA LINE.
The V2903DB rear panel has 16 video output BNCs for connecting
Video Output Modules in other switching bays. The following
figures illustrate various types of Data Buffer Module rear panels.

2.1.5 Data Buffer Module with Video Loss Detection
The Data Buffer Module with Video Loss Detection also provides
the two functions of a common Data Buffer Module, i.e., Video
Distribution and Data Filtering. What makes it different, however,
is its capability of detecting video signal loss for each camera input.
A single module can detect video loss for up to 256 cameras.
The module must be placed in a matrix switching bay that contains
Video Input Modules, and the bay must be connected to the
highest-numbered monitor output.

2.2 Module Setup
Different system applications may require different settings for the
internal jumper switches on system modules. This section provides
instructions on switch setups for four V2040 modules: Data Buffer
Module, Data Buffer Module with Video Loss Detection, Video
Input Module and Video Output Module.
CAUTION: THE PRESENCE OF NON-INSULATED
COMPONENTS WITH HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES
REQUIRES QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL TO
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES ONLY.
2.2.1 Data Buffer Module Switches
The Data Buffer Module Switches features two functions: Video
Switching and Data Filtering (see System Module Description -
Data Buffer Module). The latter requires setting of two 8-position
DIP switches, SW1 and SW3.
zSwitch SW1 sets the ON/OFF status of the module's Data
Filtering. If Switch S1 is set to the ON status, all information
passes and Switch S3 is not used; if OFF, only specified
information passes and S3 must be set accordingly.
zSwitch SW3 sets the camera and monitor group numbers
associated with particular switching bays. Specified information
is filtered only for these bays.

zSwitch SW1 sets the switching bay type, the ON/OFF status of
filtering (the same as a common Data Buffer Module), the baud
rate for the RJ-45 port, and the Alarm Contact mode
(factory-reserved for indicating Video/Sync Loss Detection).
Note: Position 7 of SW1 should be set to ON to enable the
module to perform video loss detection.
zSwitch SW2 defines the communication type of the RJ-45 port,
and enables/disables the module's front panel LED.
zSwitch SW3 sets the camera and monitor group numbers
associated with particular switching bays. The specified
information is filtered only for these bays. Note: The setup of
switch SW3 is different for different type of switching bay.
In addition, a 3-position jumper labeled as "S6" (see Figure 2-11) is
also provided to enable/disable the on-board saving capability. If
enabled, the parameters concerning the video loss detection,
defined via menu programming, will be stored in the on-board
memory of the DBVL.

2.2.4 Video Output Module Switches
The Video Output Module (VOM) attaches additional information
(i.e., title, time and date) to switched videos from VIMs. Each
VOM has four groups of 2-pin jumpers for monitor identification
settings, and two 8-position switches: S200 and S201.

S201

S200
Monitors 1 - 4
Monitors 5 - 8
Monitors 9-12
Monitors 13-16
Figure 2-13. Video Output Module Switches
The Monitor Identification jumpers of each VOM define four
monitor groups: Monitors 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12 and 13 to 16.
Note that only these four group types are defined, without any other
variation. Therefore, when setting monitor numbered over 16, a
16X-Subtraction method is adopted, i.e., subtract multiples of 16
from the desired monitor number to fit them into the four types.
For example, when setting monitors 33-36, subtract 32 each to fit
them into Monitors 1-4 (33-32=1, 34-32=2, 35-32=3, 36-32=4).
The Switch S200 is used to select video output system.

NTSC × × × × × × × 1
Positions 1~4 of Switch S201 are used to define the corresponding
video inputs and and positions 5~8 are used to define the
corresponding outputs for the module. S201 settings are dependent
on which matrix bay (in a multi-bay system) and which slot (in the
matrix bay) the module is located in.

2.3 Installation
V2040 matrix switching bays are manufactured for standard
19-inch rack mounting and have a rack height of 10.5 inches. Bays
must be installed with a minimum of 1.75-inch clearance between
each bay (one rack unit). Installation personnel must ensure proper
airflow around the bays to provide adequate ventilation. In multiple
bay configurations, identify the various bays carefully before
mounting. In all multiple bay systems, place the video inputs near
the top of the racks.

Figure 2-14. Bay Mounting Dimensions
Observe the following guidelines when mounting V2040 bay into a
rack:
Installation preparation:
1. Plan the layout of the equipment in the racks before installing
equipment
2. Take an inventory of all rack equipment hardware, brackets,
blank panels, etc. Reorder any missing parts immediately. This
avoids delays in the installation process.
3. Provide a minimum of 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) of empty space
between each piece of equipment for ventilation.
4. Use at least one blower or fan per rack and place it in the bottom
of the rack. Thus, air is drawn in at the bottom of the rack and
vented at the top.
Installation procedure:
1. Power off to ensure that the device will not power on during the
installation.
2. Take off the eight 0.25’’ pan head screws used to secure the
V2040 matrix bay.
3. Take off the rubber washer on V2040 bottom.
4. Put the V2040 matrix bay on the bracket and make the ears cling
to the rack.
Fasten the bay ears onto the rack with the eight 0.25’’ pan head
screws.
Carefully make a detailed plan before installation. The operation of
each piece of equipment should be confirmed as early as possible
during the installation procedure. It is easier to remove a few
temporary connections after a confirmation check than it is to
disconnect and re-wire a large number of “permanent” connections.
2.4 Hardware Connection
Each V2040 Matrix Switching Bay can accommodate one Power
Supply Module, one Central Processing Unit (CPU) Module, and a
maximum of 16 modules such as Video Input Modules and Video
Output Modules. All system connections are made on the rear
panels of V2040 modules. Refer to Typical V2040 Application
Diagram in System Features for illustrations of typical system
connections.
Note: All internal switch settings on the modules should be made
before system connections are started (see Module Setup in this
chapter). Ensure that all connections are properly completed before
applying power.
To facilitate maintenance and assist in service, all connecting cables
should be identified with source/destination numbers.
Note: All the connection diagrams in this section adopt a V2040
Matrix Switching Bay configured with one Power Supply Module,
one Data Buffer module, 4 VOMs (four in the left) and 12 VIMs.
2.4.1 Video Input Connections
A single Video Input Module provides up to 16 video inputs. To
connect an external video source (e.g., a camera) to its associated
video input terminal:
1. Properly install the camera according to relevant manuals.
2. Identify the camera with a desired camera number, and then
identify the BNC terminal on a VIM module rear panel that
designates the same camera number. (See Module Setup - Video
Input Module Switches in this chapter.)
3. Connect the camera to the associated BNC terminal connector
with a video cable. Please refer to the following table to select
appropriate video cables.

The system cannot perform PTZ (PAN/TILT/ZOOM) control
without control signal transferring. V2040 provides PTZ controls
via the V2411 series Control Code Generator/Distributors. A single
V2411 can provide Manchester control code outputs for control of
up to 64 site cameras. Multiple V2411 distributors can be cascaded
to control a maximum of 1024 site cameras. Please refer to relevant
manuals for further details on V2411.

2.4.4 Alarm Input Connections
Alarm inputs are provided by the V2431 series Alarm Interface
Units (AIUs) connected to V2040 external CPU. Each V2431 AIU
can handle a maximum of 64 alarms, and up to 16 units can be
cascaded together to provide a total of 1024 alarms. To perform
alarm input connections with V2431:
1. Route wires from a RS-232 port on V2040's rear panel to the
OUTPUT port on V2431's rear panel.
2. Route wires from site sensors to their associated alarm input
connectors on V2431's rear panel. Each sensor requires two wires
- one connecting the alarm input terminal and the other
connecting the ground terminal.
Note: The V2431 is set to Normally Open (N.O.) as a factory
default.
3. If the system requires more than 64 alarm inputs, cascade
multiple V2431 AIUs to expand the system's alarm input

14
capacity.
To select appropriate alarm input cables, please refer to Table 2-13.
