The following equipment and software is required:
●
A dedicated ISP for failover.
●
Cisco Stream Manager Administration and Monitoring with Failover Module.
●
An American Dynamics matrix switch with available output ports.
Chapter 5: provides detailed configuration steps for failover integrations.
Integration with a Pelco Matrix Switch and Keyboard
As shown in Table 6 on Page 4-1, Cisco integrates with several third-party matrix switches and
keyboards. The examples in this section focus on the Pelco 9760 matrix switch and the Pelco
CM9760-KBD keyboard, but similar steps apply to other Pelco systems.
The following equipment is required to integrate with a Pelco matrix switch and keyboard:
●
A Pelco matrix switch with an available Input port.
●
A Cisco ISP to perform digital recording of video streams.
●
Cisco data converter. A Cisco data converter is connected between the matrix switch,
keyboard, and ISP to convert serial signals between RS-232 and RS-422. 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. A hybrid decoder accepts recorded 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.
