Chapter 6: Manufacturer-Specific Configurations
This section describes the configuration required to integrate with third-party matrix switches and
keyboards to add digital recording and instant retrieval features.
Integration with a Bosch Matrix Switch and Keyboard
As shown in Table 6 on Page 4-1 Cisco Video Surveillance devices integrate with several third-
party matrix switches and keyboards. The examples in this section focus on the Bosch LTC 8200
matrix switch and Bosch IntuiKey keyboard, but similar steps apply to other Bosch systems.
The following equipment is required to integrate with a Bosch matrix switch and keyboard:
●
A Bosch matrix switch with an available input port.
●
A Cisco Integrated Services Platform to perform digital recording of video streams.
●
Cisco data converter. A data converter is connected between the matrix switch, keyboard,
and ISP to convert serial signals between RS-232 and RS-485. This deployment allows the
ISP to intercept keyboard commands that identify when an operator wants to switch from
live to recorded video. A data converter is needed for each keyboard that requires access to
playback features.
●
Cisco hybrid decoders. The hybrid decoder requests video from the ISP and decodes it into
analog video, which is passed to the matrix switch. The hybrid decoder connects to a
dedicated input port on the matrix switch. The number of hybrid decoders in a solution
should match the number of keyboards that require simultaneous playback functionality.
