ZSC-1000
Overview
The ZSC-1000 is primarily a unit for distributing telemetry and control information. However, as the distributor
of this information, it also uses this opportunity to add functionality and flexibility to the system.
The unit has a number of external ports, all of which have primary functions described below.
Due to the flexibility of the ZSC-1000, with careful design an installer can tailor the application of each port to
meet his requirement.
ZVK Port
This port is used for communications within the control room. Generally local equipment that is either
generating control commands or within the control room receiving control commands.
Examples of such equipment are keyboards, multiplexer and VCR interfaces, and contact alarm input cards.
ZVM Port
This port is used for communication to matrices. As a core item of equipment, the matrix has a dedicated
port.
Intersite Port
This port is used for communications between sites and control rooms. It is very rare that this port has an
application for anything other than connection to another site controller.
ZVR Ports
These ports are used for communications with telemetry receivers and / or domes situated external to the
control room.
The four ports can be driven independently.
PC1 Port
This port is used for communications with 3
rd
party equipment that, generally, operates independently of an
operator.
Examples of such equipment are Rugby Clocks, Alarm Panels and Help Points.
PC2 Port
This port is primarily used for communications with Meyertech diagnostic and configuration equipment. It has
a number of secondary uses:
•An input for Meyertech Series 2 alarms.
•An interface to Fusion.
•An interface to third party equipment.
Interface to 3
rd
party Equipment
The interface operates in the same way as a ZSC-250.
The communications protocol supported on the PC2 port is documented in the published ZoneVu
protocol documents.
It is requirement to log on to the site controller using an Equipment Identification Key.
Keys and protocol are available by request from Meyertech Ltd.

Features
Multi-site Operation
Intersite connections can be used to integrate separate CCTV systems in order to share their resources.
An intersite connection consists of a data link for exchanging commands, and one or more Video paths for switching
video between sites.
Data
The most common method of connecting two site controllers is with an RS485 half-duplex serial bus.
•this is the default connection used to carry all commands to and from a remote site
•connects from the intersite port (In or Out) of one controller to the intersite port (In or Out) of another.
•In and Out connections are bridged internally to allow easy wiring of many controllers in a chain.
Where only a simplex RS485 or RS422 connection is available to a remote site, this may be used for the intersite
connection with some loss of functionality.
•control negotiation will not take place between local & remote operators
•status will not be available of latched functions (e.g. wipe, lamp) on remote receivers
•Uncontrolled telemetry must be set in the Enables section at the remote site
•remote site must be set to Rx only in it’s Intersite Port section
•a site controlling such a remote, must have it marked as Simplex in it’s Site Routing section
Alternatively, point to point connections can be made between sites over RS232 using the PC2 or PC1 ports.
•the site number of a remote connected in this way should be marked in the Site Routing section of the
configuration as Route through PC1 Port or Route through PC2 Port.
Sites integrated together using Meyertech dial-up equipment (such as the ZSI-320 ISDN interface) are connected and
configured differently. See section below on Dialup sites.
Video
Video connections between sites are referred to as trunks and are managed transparently by the site controllers.
A trunk is normally fed from an output of the matrix at one site (A) to an input on the matrix at a second site (B). This
trunk must then be configured under Output trunks at site A, and Input trunks at site B.
When an operator selects a remote site, the first available trunk is displayed on his monitor, and used for subsequent
camera selections from that site
•a trunk is classed as available if it is not currently being displayed on any monitor
•if all trunks are in use, the least recently switched trunk is displayed and the operator notified ‘Trunk Denied’
•When a trunk is denied, the operator has the option to override this; his camera selection will then replace that
viewed on the other monitor using the trunk.
•if Camera Mapping is used to select remote cameras without entering the site, the trunk is automatically
assigned at each switch. If a trunk is already viewing the chosen camera, it will be favoured to save capacity.
A site with no matrix, can be setup to display input trunks directly on monitors. The correct trunk will be selected
according to the monitor used.
•configure each monitor separately under the matrix configuration section (see below), assigning each a single
input number
•configure each input trunk with the input number assigned to it’s monitor above
Dialup sites
Connections made over dialup links, are managed automatically by the site controller.
All cameras connected this way, whether connected individually or through a remote matrix, are selected using a remote
site number.
Each remote connection (video & data) provided by a ZSI-320 or similar dialup device is configured as a separate input
trunk. The MAC address of the dialup device is entered in the input trunk configuration, marking it as a dialup trunk.
Where a dialup device is used to connect to multiple sites, the input trunk is configured with any of the remote site
numbers. The other sites using the dialup device are indicated in the Dialup Sites section.

ZSC-1000 User Manual.doc Issue 18 Page 12 of 46
MEYERTECH LIMITED
ZSC-1000
Dialup trunks are connected on demand. When a dialup site is selected, the first unused dialup trunk is displayed and the
remote site automatically dialled. The connection will be maintained until the trunk is no longer displayed i.e. the
operator has selected a different site.
Multiple Matrixes
It is not considered normal within the Zonevu system to assign multiple separate matrixes to the same controller. Rather
they would normally be assigned to their own controller & viewed as a separate site (see Multi-site Operation above).
It is possible however to assign multiple matrixes of certain types to a single site.
In the matrix list, each matrix is given a unique monitor range and usually a unique camera range also.
The controller will then match the monitor & camera ranges selected to the correct matrix. If there is an overlap, both
matrixes will be switched.
Linking multiple matrixes
Where more than one matrix is being used on a site, it is possible to make ‘trunk’ connections between them to allow the
inputs from one, to be viewed on the outputs of the other.
These trunk connections must be configured in both the Input & Output trunk tables in order that the controller can
automatically assign them, to save the operator having to make two switches to view a camera.
This is setup in the same way as remote video trunks except that the site number of each trunk in the input & output
trunk tables must match the site number assigned to the controller (on the Intersite Port setup).
Camera Mapping
Where a system has been split between multiple sites, but it is desirable to mask this architecture from the operator,
Camera Mapping can be used to give the appearance of a traditional system. It can also be used to accommodate non-
standard camera numbering or remote connection schemes.
Masking remote site numbers
A Range of camera numbers (usually those that are beyond the range of the local matrix), can be used to reference
cameras at another site. This removes the need for the operator to select a site number, and the keyboards can have their
site selection disabled.
Using this method of selecting remote cameras allows the controller to make better use of capacity by re-using trunks if
different operators choose the same remote camera. The operator has no control over or knowledge of the trunk used,
and will not be warned before overriding a trunk when all are in use.
Where the trunks from a remote site are not fully switched it may be necessary to specify different trunks for different
camera ranges. This could arise where trunks are fed from separate matrixes or multiplexers at a remote site. To
accommodate this the trunk number can be specified for a camera range instead of the site number. The site number
being mapped to is implied through the trunk configuration.
Re-numbering cameras
A further use of the Camera Mapping is to alter the camera numbering scheme within a site. A range of camera numbers
may be mapped to a different range within the same site, by mapping to site 0.
Camera Mapping can be used to re-number both camera selection and control. By re-numbering one without the other
mismatches between the telemetry address of a receiver & the matrix input number it connects to can be corrected.
However to ensure full functionality, Meyertech recommends that such offsets are not introduced into a system.
Scope
The camera mapping tables are applied to commands received from a local or remote operator.
Commands generated automatically by the site controller are mostly not subject to mapping and are configured with the
actual matrix input, or telemetry addresses. These include:
•Trunk inputs / outputs
•Camera barring
•Camera alarms: both configuration & reporting of camera alarms is based on the receiver address
•Receiver setup
The following exceptions will accept mapped camera numbers in the configuration, and will adjust them as necessary:
•Alarm Events
•Timed Events
•Sequences

Prioritised camera control
Each keyboard (or PC) attached to the controller is configured with a priority level for camera control. When two
keyboards try to control the same camera, the controller will grant control to the higher priority keyboard or, if the
priorities are the same, the first keyboard to attempt to control the camera.
If two keyboards on different sites try to control the same camera the same method is used in assigning control; however
the priority levels used are those assigned to the site controllers rather than the keyboards. This intersite priority level is
configured in the Site control section.
An exception is where a local and remote keyboard are in conflict for use of a local camera. The relative priorities of the
site controllers can be overriden using the ‘Prioritise local keyboards’ option within the Enables section.
The control record for a camera is normally held by the site controller driving it’s telemetry. However if telemetry is
routed through a matrix which has more than one controller attached (i.e. PC or keyboard control direct to the matrix),
then the matrix must become the authoritative controller.
This is configured by the controller option in the ZVM Port section.
When an operator has control of a camera, it will not normally be released until he takes action on the keyboard to do
so. However the controller is capable of removing camera control from an operator when the camera has not been used
for a given time period. This feature is highly recommended where operators on a remote site have access to camera
control, as it allows automatic release of a camera to the local operator should the remote link fail. Configuration of this
is found in the Site control section.
Telemetry Distribution
The normal method of telemetry distribution is through the controller’s ZVR ports.
The Camera Telemetry configuration section can also be used to route telemetry through alternative ports.
•The most common requirement is to make use of the VICTA (down the coax) transmission capabilities of a matrix,
by setting the port to ZVM.
•Alternatively PC1 port may be used where a 3
rd
party telemetry controller is in use
Sequences
Sequencing allows one monitor to display several cameras by automatically cycling through different cameras. Note that
a sequence operation is normally associated with a matrix. All Meyertech matrices support running sequences and this
feature is intended for running sequences across sites or on 3
rd
party equipment that doesn’t support this feature.
The ZSC extends the sequence functionality by allowing the definition of a preset position for each camera.
The ZSC sequence features:
•32 configurable sequences
•A maximum of 32 steps in each sequence.
•Each sequence has a configurable dwell time, which affects all the steps in the sequence.
As well as the configurable sequences there is one fixed sequence, which sequences through all the inputs on the primary
matrix. This has a configurable dwell time and is selected by choosing sequence 0.
By default all the sequences are disabled (set to zero length), but are configured with cameras 1 to 32 on the local site
with a dwell time of 3 seconds, and no presets.
Whilst the sequence is disabled, all sequence commands will be directed to the matrix associated with the selected
monitor for actioning.
Once started, each sequence will run until stopped by an operator. Should the power be interrupted to the controller, the
sequence/s will re-start at the first position after a short delay.
See later section for details of configuration using Mpower.
It is possible to have a mixture of cameras from local or remote sites although it is important that the number of remote
sites cameras configured in separate sequences does not exceed the number of trunks.

ZSC-1000 User Manual.doc Issue 18 Page 14 of 46

ZSC-1000
Operation
Starting A Sequence
A sequence may be selected from the keyboard by selecting the desired monitor and then selecting the
sequence you wish to run on that monitor. When a sequence is started all the sequences are synchronised. The
purpose of this is so that sequences with the same dwell time switch synchronously. The user will see all
running sequences return to their first position.
It is possible to have 32 sequences running at the same time, though to maintain performance it is
recommended that no more than 8 sequences are run at any one time.
Preset positions in a sequence
Where the preset number for a step in a sequence is anything other than 255, the site controller will attempt to
send the camera to a preset position, as that camera is switched in the sequence.
Control will be requested first, using a priority of 2. If a lower priority keyboard has control of the camera, it
will be told to submit. If an equal or higher priority keyboard has control, the preset will not be sent.
As soon as the preset command has been sent, control of the camera will be released.
Manual Advance and Rewind
Whilst sequences are running, it is possible to manually step forward and backwards through the sequences that
are running (note that all running sequences advance and rewind at the same time). Stepping through the
sequences does not stop them from running.
Stopping A Sequence
A sequence can be stopped by either of 2 methods:
•Select the monitor and then select a camera to display on the monitor. This overrides any sequence
that is running on that monitor.
•Select the monitor running the sequence and press the SEQ STOP key (if supported on keyboard).
Timed Events
This feature allows the configuration of certain actions to automatically occur at specified times of the day.
The ZSC timed events feature:
•Up to 128 events.
•Preset event
•Patrol event (Random preset, ordered preset or Mimic)
•Control event (used to lock a camera)
•Alarm event
•Camera switch
•VCR record
Before any camera command is sent, the ZSC will request control of that camera with a fixed priority of 2.
If control is not granted within 3 seconds, the command will not be sent.
Control is released as soon as the command has been sent.
See later section for details of configuration using Mpower.
Embedded Firmware Drivers (EFD)
The ZSC supports an extensive range of 3
rd
party equipment. These are implemented as Embedded Firmware Drivers
(EFD). The required EFDs should be specified at time of purchase.
Due to the continual development of new EFDs the current range of supported equipment and features available can be
obtained by requesting the following documents from Meyertech Sales.

Alarm Handling
Alarm definition
An alarm is individually identified by three values:
•Alarm Type Alarms are classified in three different types
Camera: all alarms generated at a camera receiver
Panel: alarms generated by contact alarm, or third party serial alarm panels
Peripheral: alarm generated by various types of Meyertech peripheral equipment, e.g.
Vcr interfaces, remote site interfaces.
•Alarm Device The alarm device usually indicates the address of the device generating the alarm,
depending on the type of the alarm. Device 0 represents all devices of a particular type (i.e. global
mapping)
•Alarm Number The actual number of the alarm circuit on the alarmed device. Number 0 represents
all alarms on a particular device(i.e. global mapping).

Configuration
Intersite Port
This port is designated for communication between site controllers at permanently connected sites.
Site
The number that defines which site the unit controls. This site number is used as the units address.
The range is 1 to 100.
Default = 1
Remote Station
Defines how this unit talks to other site controllers.
Duplex sets the inter-site communications to bi-directional and this site controller will both send and receive
messages.
Rx only sets the inter-site communications to simplex and this site controller will only receive messages.
Default = Duplex
Baud Rate
Defines the baud rate at which the inter-site communications occurs.
Valid values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 28800, 38400,57600 and 128000.
9600 is recommended for systems of less than 6 site. Greater than 6 sites should use 19200. With many
active sites (i.e. operators at multiple sites controlling remote cameras) 57600 may give a better
performance.
Default = 9600
Turnaround Time
Also known as the transmit hold-off time, this configurable delay is designed to maximise compatibility with
different transmission media (such as fibre optics, radio etc).
Smaller values allow faster communications between sites, but require the transmission equipment to switch
between receive & transmit states quicker.
Value is configured in microseconds in the range 1 to 65535
Default = 4000
Priority
Bandwidth on the intersite port is allocated according to relative priorities.
On networks with more than 16 sites, it is recommended to set the satellite sites to Medium or Low priority, to
improve the performance at main control rooms when controlling cameras over the intersite network.
Options : High, Medium or Low.
Default = High

Baud Rate
Defines the baud rate at which the ZVK port communications occurs.
Valid values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400,57600 and 128000.
Default = 9600
RS485
Future feature to select 2-wire RS485 communications.
Default = Off (4-wire RS422)
Fast Polling
Removes the pacing of commands, to give a slightly faster connection to devices on this port.
May cause problems with some older keyboards
Default = On
ZVM Port
MAC address
The address to which the unit will respond to polls on this port
Default = 1
Terminated
The state of the 120R line terminator
Default = On
Polled
To indicate that the unit should expect to be polled. If On the unit will wait for a poll before transmitting any
information
Default = Off
Controller
To indicate that the unit is to make the decision on telemetry control from operators. If set to off the unit will
forward control request messages to the device on the ZVM port.
Default = On

Baud Rate
Defines the baud rate at which the ZVM port communications occurs.
Valid values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400.
Default = 9600
Camera Telemetry
Receiver setup
For each camera in the range 1 to 4096 (256 for a ZSC-500 or ZSC-1000) the following can be configured
Port
Which port the telemetry will be broadcast on.
The valid options are zvm, zvr1, zvr2, zvr3, zvr4 or pc1
Defaults
cameras 1-64 = zvr1
cameras 65-128 = zvr2
cameras 129-192 = zvr3
cameras 193-4096 = zvr4
Polled
If enabled the camera at this address will be polled (allows the receiver to return alarm and/or status
information)
Default = Off
Reversed
To correct for reversals in individual cameras. Where a direction(s) is reversed tick the appropriate
box(es) to translate all command to the camera. E.g. Tick Pan to transpose left & right commands.
Default = Off
Port setup
For each ZVR port (1,2,3 and 4) the following can be configured
Mode
The operation of the port either RS422 (2 or 4 wire) or RS485 (2 wire)
Default = RS485
Baud rate
Defines the baud rate at which the ZVR communications occurs.
Valid values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 28800, 38400,57600 and 128000.
Default = 9600
Protocol
The port can be configured to control a number of third party protocols. Those required must be
specified at time of order.
Default = ZoneVu

Cmd Gap
The command gap is used to pace the generation of telemetry. Some transmission systems and/or
third party equipment cannot except data at too fast a rate. This value is the minimum time that will
be allowed in 10 millisecond units between transmission of data packets on this port. Care must be
taken on setting this value – if too high a figure is used then the dropping of data packets will occur
which may effect the controllability of the attached equipment.
Default = 2
PC1 Port
Protocol
It is possible to control a range of 3
rd
party equipment from this port. The range includes clocks, switchers,
multiplexers and alarm panels. Those required must be specified at time of order.
Default = ZoneVu
Baud Rate
Defines the baud rate at which the PC1 communications occurs.
Valid values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400.
