DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
The following terms are used often in this manual. Please become familiar with
them before programming and operating the CCU-100/HD or CCU-100/HD/X
Central Control Unit.
TERM DEFINITION
PreShot A PreShot is a camera/lens position including pan, tilt, zoom, and
focus that is given a number and 16-character name. The
number is used by the operator to send the SmartScan unit to the
PreShot position. Up to 100 (00-99) PreShots can be
programmed and stored in each SmartScan unit. PreShots are
programmed using a KBD-100 Programming Keyboard and a
JPD-100 Controller. An operator sends a SmartScan unit to a
PreShot using the JPD-100 Controller or the KBD-100 Keyboard.
MultiCalls can also send cameras to PreShots. When the
SmartScan unit is viewing the PreShot, the title of the PreShot is
added to the video signal. If the SmartScan unit is called up on a
monitor, the title appears on the top of the monitor in a 60 Hz
system and on the bottom of the monitor in a 50 Hz system.
VectorScan A VectorScan is a video tour that is given a number and a 16-
character name. It is two or more PreShots (up to 64) from the
same SmartScan unit linked together with specified dwell times.
Up to ten (0-9) VectorScans can be stored in each SmartScan
unit. The number is used by the operator to start the VectorScan.
VectorScans are programmed using the KBD-100 Keyboard and
the JPD-100 Controller. They can be started/stopped by an
operator using the JPD-100 Controller or KBD-100 Keyboard.
VectorScans can also be started in a MultiCall. When a
VectorScan is running in a SmartScan unit, the title of the PreShot
currently being viewed is added to the SmartScan video signal.

TERM DEFINITION
Sector ID Sector IDs are used for labeling specific areas that the SmartScan
unit views. Up to 16 Sector IDs can be programmed and stored in
each SmartScan unit. Sector IDs are programmed using a KBD-
100 Programming Keyboard and the JPD-100 Controller.
Whenever the dome is under manual control and viewing a
programmed sector, the sector title is added to the SmartScan
video signal. The camera ID display must be enabled for the
Sector ID title to be added to the video signal. If the SmartScan
unit is being viewed on a monitor, the label appears across the
top of the monitor in a 60 Hz system and on the bottom of the
monitor in a 50 Hz system.
MultiCall A MultiCall can be programmed to perform one or more system
functions at the same time or one function at a time with
programmable dwell times between each function. The system
functions that can be included in a MultiCall are PreShots,
VectorScans, video switching, turning on/off VCRs or other
auxiliary devices, or starting a MultiCall (including itself).
MultiCalls are used to define the system's "automatic" response to
events such as date and time, alarms, JPD-100 Controller
function keys, and SHB-100 ShotBox function keys. MultiCalls
can be started/stopped "manually" by an operator at a JPD-100
Controller or KBD-100 Keyboard. Up to 256 (00-255) MultiCalls
can be programmed and stored with a number and a 16-character
title in the CCU-100. The number is used by an operator to start
a MultiCall or assign the MultiCall to alarm inputs, function keys,
etc.

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 DESCRIPTION
This manual provides the installation, operation, programming, and maintenance
procedures for the CCU-100/HD or CCU-100/HD/X Central Control Unit. The only
difference between the CCU-100/HD and the CCU-100/HD/X is the input power
requirements. The CCU-100/HD is set up at the factory for 110-120Vac power input
and the CCU-100/HD/X is setup for 220-240Vac power input. Throughout this
manual, these units may be referred to as a CCU-100 or simply a CCU. Both units
are available in a rack mount or desk-top chassis.
1.2 FEATURES
The CCU-100/HD Central Control Unit has the following features to control Diamond
Series FastScan/SmartScan assemblies, CRX-500 Series, CRX-600 Series, and
CRX-800 Series Control Receivers, and an Ultrak HD Series Video Switcher.
•Control Input Multiplexing
Control Input Multiplexing means having more than one JPD-100 Joystick
Controller in the system controlling the FastScan/SmartScan assemblies, CRX-
500 Series and CRX-800 Series Control Receivers, and the HD Video Switcher
at the same time. Only one operator can control a receiver at a time. The
operator that requests control of a receiver last gets control. The CCU provides
control input multiplexing for up to four JPD-100 Joystick Controllers.
•RS-485 Control Output
The CCU-100/HD has two RS-485 data outputs for sending control commands to
Diamond series FastScan units, SmartScan units, and CRX-500 or CRX-800
receivers for conventional pan and tilts.

1-2
•SmartScan Programming
PreShots, VectorScans, and Sector IDs stored in SmartScan assemblies are
programmed using the CCU-100 Central Control Unit, a JPD-100 Joystick
Controller, and a KBD-100A Keyboard. Refer to your specific SmartScan
Operation and Programming Manual for programming procedures.
•MultiCall Control
MultiCalls are programmed and stored in the CCU to perform one or more of the
system control functions at once, or one function at a time with dwell times
between each function.
An operator can start a MultiCall manually at a JPD-100 Controller, KBD-100A
Keyboard, or SHB-100 ShotBox. MultiCalls can be started automatically in
response to an alarm or date/time.
•Time Initiated MultiCalls
The Central Control Unit is programmed to start MultiCalls, up to nine, on
selected dates at specific times. After a MultiCall is programmed to start at a
specific time, you can program it to repeat at specific intervals. This feature can
be used to accomplish fully automatic video tours at specific times of the day.
•Alarm Interface
The CCU-100/HD can receive 255 alarm inputs from AIU-100 Alarm Interface
Units, a Host Computer, or the MX-4248 I/O Module Option on the HD Series
Video Switcher. When the CCU receives an alarm, the CCU-100 starts the
MultiCall assigned to the alarm. Monitors and VCRs can be programmed as
alarm monitors and alarm VCRs. The video switched to an alarm monitor or
alarm VCR in response to an alarm is not released from the alarm device until
the alarm is acknowledged.

1-3
Up to eight AIU-100 units can be connected to the CCU-100 for 255 alarm
inputs. Up to eight AIF-100/IN units can be connected to the CCU-100 for 64
alarm inputs. A combination of AIUs and AIF-100/INs (totaling eight units) can
be connected to the CCU for various numbers of alarm inputs. The CCU polls
the AIUs and/or AIFs for changes of state (alarms). MultiCalls are programmed
and assigned to alarms.
The CCU accepts 255alarm numbers from a host computer. When the CCU
receives an alarm number from the host computer, it starts the MultiCall
assigned to the alarm number.
The MX-4248 I/O module has 24 alarm inputs. If the MX-4248 I/O Module is
installed, it replaces AIU-100, address 0, alarms 1 through 32. Alarms 25
through 32 on AIU-100, address 0, are not available. The host computer,
however, can use alarms 25 through 32.
Alarms are acknowledged automatically in the MultiCall assigned to the alarm or
by an operator at the JPD-100 Joystick Controller. Refer to the JPD-100 user’s
manual for manually acknowledging alarms. Refer to Section 4, paragraph
4.3.3.4 of this manual for programming a MultiCall to automatically acknowledge
an alarm.
•SHB-100 ShotBox Control Interface
A SHB-100 ShotBox has 16 quick keys. Up to 16 ShotBoxes can be connected
to the CCU-100 Central Control Unit. The user programs and assigns a MultiCall
to the quick key. When an operator presses a quick key, the CCU starts the
MultiCall assigned to the key. If an operator presses the same quick key while
the MultiCall is in progress, the CCU stops the MultiCall.

1-4
•Ultrak HD Series Video Switcher Interface
The CCU-100/HD Central Control Unit communicates with an Ultrak HD Series
Switcher at COM2. The CCU sends video switching commands (128 video
inputs by 32 video outputs) to the switcher, provides programming for the video
alarms monitored by the HDswitcher, and sendspan, tilt, and camera lens
commands to the HD switcher.
The camera title for each video input on the switcher can be programmed using
the CCU and a KBD-100A keyboard. The time and date in the switcher is
programmable through the CCU. The CCU updates the time and date in the
switcher every minute to keep the time in both units synchronized. The
positioning of the camera title and the date and time on each video output can be
programmed through the CCU.
The HD switcher can be programmed through the CCU to monitor each video
input channel for Video High, Video Low, and Loss of Video Sync and generate
an alarm. Video alarms for each channel can be enabled or disabled
individually. If a video alarm is enabled, the HD switcher monitors the video
level. If a video alarm is disabled, the HD switcher ignores the video level. If the
switcher detects high video, low video or loss of video sync, an alarm is
generated. When a video alarm occurs, the switcher sends the type of alarm and
the channel in alarm to the CCU. The CCU sends a message to the HD switcher
to display text for the oldest video alarm on one of the system monitors. This
monitor is referred to as the alarm display monitor and is user programmable
through the CCU. The CCU keeps track of which video channels are switched to
which monitors. If the video channel on the selected alarm display monitor is in
alarm, the alarm text cannot be displayed on the monitor. In this case, the CCU
searches its tables for a video channel that is not in alarm and sends a message
to the switcher to switch the channel with a good video signal to the alarm
display monitor so the alarm text can be displayed.
