FEATURES OF THE MATRIX
SWITCHER SYSTEM

MATRIX SWITCHER SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
10
Matrix Switcher System WJ-SX150 is a surveillance control system, which is composed of cameras, recorders, and this unit
(the matrix switcher).
This system has various functions for surveillance control.
The following are the descriptions about the functions.
■Crosspoint Switches
All matrix switchers, no matter how complicated and sophisticated they may be, depend on crosspoint switches to perform the
basic operations of the switcher. The crosspoint switches from a rectangular array of rows and columns in which any row may
be connected to any column.
In the figure shown above, the rows are connected to video cameras and the columns are connected to video monitors.
By closing a certain crosspoint switch we may connect any camera to any monitor.
In the example above, by closing switch SW12 the camera 2 is displayed on the monitor 1. Likewise, by closing SW24 camera
4 is displayed on the monitor 2.
■Monitoring Mode
This system can control up to 16 cameras, 4 monitors, and 4 system controllers.
There are two surveillance ways:
One is the spot mode that associates one camera with one monitor. The other is the sequence mode that sequentially displays
the images through more than one camera.
●Spot Mode
The specified camera images are continuously displayed on a given monitor.
When another camera input is accepted, the images are replaced by new ones.
SW11 SW21 SW31 SW41
SW12 SW22 SW32 SW42
SW13 SW23 SW33 SW43
SW14 SW24 SW34 SW44

11
●Sequence Mode
More than one camera's images are sequentially displayed for a
fixed time.
The illustration shows an example of the sequential display of
images through Camera 2, 4, and 6 on Monitor 1.
Before use, the parameters* of the sequence need to be config-
ured and uploaded to the unit.
*Example: Camera selection, monitor selection, and dwell time
(the time to display each image).
■System Control
System Controller WV-CU360C controls the equipment connected to this system.
●About System Controller
This matrix switcher system has four data ports: DATA 1 to 4. The ports DATA 1 to 3 supports the terminal mode, and the
DATA 4 port supports both the terminal mode and Panasonic Security Data (PS·Data) Systems. These are the operation mode
of the matrix switcher. When using the DATA 4 port, you can employ either of them. Refer to p. 14 for details of the terminal
mode. Refer to p. 20 for notification about PS·Data System.
●Camera control
As the illustration, this unit sends the control data and VD2 timing pulse to the cameras.
On the contrary, the cameras send the video signal and state signal to the unit.
Control data is supplied via the coaxial cable from the unit, multiplexed with the camera image.
The unit is equipped with the circuit to multiplex or separate the video signal and control data with each channel.
These connections enable the control of the equipment from the system controller.
When using Panasonic RS-485 cameras, the unit can send the separated control data to them.
RS-485 cameras can be installed at longer distance from the matrix switcher than cameras that multiplex the control data.
Each signal functions as the illustrations in the next page.
VD2 provides the timing pulse of the same phase to prevent the unconformity during the switching of the image in a sequence
mode.

■Example of a SYSTEM with Basic Functions
The illustration in the next page shows the surveillance system in a parking lot as an example.
Before the connections, the matrix switcher's system configuration* and the recorder's alarm recording setting are necessary.
Example: Operations of cameras and other connected equipment during an alarm input
1. The infrared sensor sends an alarm signal to the unit when detecting a car comes in.
2. The unit enters the sequence mode associated with Monitor 1.
At the same time, the unit controls the digital disk recorder to change its recording mode into the alarm-recording mode.
Monitor 1 is associated with the following sequence.
Displaying Camera 1's image

TERMINAL MODE DESCRIPTIONS
In the terminal mode, each external device (such as a cam-
era, monitor, system controller, or a recorder, etc.) has the
name and number (Camera 1, etc.). When you control a
device, you are to select the device number and execute the
selection. For example, before controlling Camera 1, you will
press the numeric button 1, and then press the CAM (SET)
button. Each operator has a level and priority. When you try
to control a device beyond the level and priority, the PRO-
HIBITED or BUSY indicator will light up to inform you that you
cannot control it.
■Log-in/Log-out
Before starting the system operation, it is necessary to input
an operator ID and a password from a system controller.
The system identifies the operator ID and password by com-
paring the registered data. If the ID and password are cor-
rect, the system will enter the operation mode.
This identification is called log-in. On the contrary, the termi-
nation of the system operation is called log-out.
Log-in/log-out has two ways: One is the manual log-in/log-out
and the other is auto log-in/out.
Through the auto log-in, an operator can login the system
without entering a password, after turning the power on.
Through the auto log-out, an operator can logout of the sys-
tem when not operating the system for a fixed time.
The way of log-in/log-out and the time for auto log-out is con-
figurable when setting up the system.
When configuring the auto log-in, it is necessary to assign an
operator ID to each data port.
●Operator Registration
When operating the system, the operator registration is nec-
essary.
Up to 16 operators can be registered and filed by their oper-
ator IDs.
They are registered in SX150 Admin Console.
The following are the properties, which can prevent the oper-
ation conflict.
Level Setting
16 operators are classified in the level from 1 (the highest) to
3 (the lowest).
A higher-level operator can control more functions.
Password Setting
Up to 5 digit numbers can be registered as a password.
When an operator logs in, the system identifies the operator
ID and password by comparing the registered data.
If they are correct, the operator can control the system.
Priority Setting
The system classifies the operators in priority from 1 to 16.
This setting includes the control coverage that is configured
by level, and the priority in case of the conflict with the same-
level operator.
Operable Cameras and Sequences
This setting assigns each operator the cameras and
sequences operable by the level.
Notes:
•Each operator's ID, password, level and priority need to
be configured in SX150 Admin Console.
•Log-in/log-out is configurable in SX150 Admin Console.
The configuration in the unit's SETUP MENU is unavail-
able.
•The level and priority are assigned to each operator.
Operators cannot control the system beyond the assign-
ment.
Even within the level and priority, a device controlled by
a higher-level operator is not operable.
•Manual log-in/log-out or auto log-in/log-out is assignable
to data ports DATA 1 to 4.
