■ What is IP switch node
IP switch node means a switch node that consists with IP network devices (Panasonic Network Cameras, Network
Disk Recorder, Network interface unit and Network Video Decoder).

6
Terms and Definitions
■ Video Switch Node
A video switch node is a device or a group of devices that are capable of performing a video switch from any of its
video inputs to any of its video outputs. In the WV-ASC970 based system, there are two types of video switch
nodes: digital switch node and analog switch node.
IP switch node is a digital switch node which can include network cameras, network disk recorders, network inter-
face units and network video decoders.
Analog video switch node is mainly formed with matrix switch devices, matrix control devices, matrix OSD devices
and matrix digital I/O devices. The system currently supports both SX650 and SX850 switch nodes.
■ Video Link
A video link is a connection that can pass video from one video switch node to another. It can only transfer video in
one specified direction.
■ Video Path
A video path is a connection between video source and video destination, which consists of one or more video
links.
■ Server PC (CPU)
Server PC is a Linux-based server computer with WV-ASC970 system software that manages all the system
resources and system devices within a system domain. It usually refers as a system domain computer. Panasonic
recommend using certain model number described in "Readme" file.
■ System Unit
System unit refers to a Server PC.
■ System Domain
A system domain is an entity that contains one system unit, up to 64 system controllers, only one digital video
switch node, and only one analog video switch node. The domain is capable of performing system tasks as an
independent entity, or working with other domains to create a distributed network security system. In a WV-ASC970
based system, the system assigns its domain number equal to its unit number.
An analog video switch node is always inside a system domain, while a digital video switch node can be across
more than one domain.

7
■ System
A system is a collection of one or more system domains.
■ Area
An area is an entity that groups together controllers and monitors.

■ Operator Functions
●Operator Area Changes
The system can be divided into multiple areas (up to 64), and an operator can change from one area to another if
they have the necessary permission.
●Operator Log On and Off
Each system operator is assigned a user ID and password in the Admin Console. A user ID and password are
required for any operators to log on to the system. System administrators can decide to automatically log operators
off if there is no activity for a pre-defined time period.
Note:
 • WV-ASM970canusealphanumericcharacterstologon.ThisisregisteredbyWV-ASC970AdminConsole.
● Operator Class
The system allows administrators to define operator classes (up to 16) with up to 35 different privileges for both
local and global operators.
● Operator Priority
The system administrator can assign a priority to each operator. When two operators compete for system resourc-
es, only the operator with the higher priority gets the resources. Refer to the Priority Rules section for more details.
■ Global Video Switch and Video Routing
This function allows operators to switch video from one video source to another, if the permission is granted. For
multiple operators competing for the same resource, it only allows the highest priority operator to perform this func-
tion. The next highest priority operator gains control when the highest priority operator releases the resource. Here
is a sample operation to switch video from local camera number 1 in domain 1, to another camera number 1 in
domain 2, on a local monitor number 1.
1. Login to System Controller: Enter 500 for ID and enter 500 for password (Global Operator).

■ Priority Rules
● Basic Rule
The System Server has the First-Come-First-Serve rule by default when there are same-priority conflicts.
The administrator also can select the Last-Come-First-Serve rule by WV-ASC970 Admin Console.
The First-Come-First-Serve rule is always applied to seizing video links without regard to operator's priority.
● Operator Priority
Operators are controlled by two types of priority. One is Operator priority and other is Controller priority. For priority
conflicts between operators, the Server looks first at Operator priority, then at Controller priority.
● Alarm, Schedule and Operator Priority
Between alarm, schedule and operator, alarm carries the highest priority, next is schedule and last is user.
● Global Operator and Local Operator
Only Global Operator can access other domain devices such as camera, recorder and tour sequence. Global
Operator is applied same priority rule as well as Local Operator except global access.
● Playback and Camera Control
When a user controls a camera, another user who has lower priority can play back the Digital Disk Recorder or
Network Disk Recorder.
When a user plays back the Digital Disk Recorder or Network Disk Recorder, another user who has lower priority
can control the camera even if the user priority is lower.
Note:
 • IncaseofNetworkDiskRecorder,whenauserstartstheplayback,theSystemServermakestheuserpriority
go down the lowest in order for another user to be able to control the camera. And when the user stops the
playback, the server returns the priority to the original. By this manner, if the both user priorities are same, the
user who starts the playback will have camera busy after stop the playback.
