ALARM INFORMATION

The ability to automatically switch video in response to an
external signal (usually a contact closure) is a necessary feature in
any video switching system. The Allegiant system permits users
with priority level 1 to select any 1 of 3 predefined alarm response
modes (via keyboard User Function 19). A description of these
three modes appears below. Pictorial examples of the three alarm
responses are also shown on the following pages.
The system can also be programmed with a wide variety of alarm
response characteristics using the flexible VersAlarmTM system. See
the LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software for Windows or the
LTC 8850/00 Graphical User Interface software manual for details.

13.1 Basic Alarm Response Mode

In BASIC alarm response mode, any or all of the monitors can be
selected as alarm display monitors. Each alarm can then be armed
to display its camera(s) on any set of armed monitors. Multiple
alarms, on the same monitor, will sequence at a 1 second rate.
Note that monitors and alarms can be armed and disarmed
individually as required. Alarmed video will automatically clear
when the alarm input signal is reset.

13.2 Auto-Build Alarm Response Mode

This mode uses a set of monitors as alarm display monitors. All
system monitors may be armed if desired. Each triggered alarm
will display its alarm video on a different monitor, starting with
the lowest numbered armed monitor. If all the armed monitors
are already displaying alarm video, subsequent alarms will build
on the existing alarmed monitors; and each monitor will sequence
through its alarm videos at a 1 second rate. Note that monitors
and alarms can be armed and disarmed individually as required.
Alarmed video will automatically clear when the alarm input
signal is reset.
13.3 Sequence & Display
Alarm Response Mode
This mode designates two monitors as alarm response monitors.
Monitor #1 will be the DISPLAY monitor (also called a
"REVIEW" monitor) and monitor #2 will be the SEQUENCE
(or STEP) monitor. The first alarm will appear on both monitors
and additional alarms will begin to sequence at a 1 second rate on
the SEQUENCE monitor. The DISPLAY monitor will hold the
first alarmed camera video until manually acknowledged through
the keyboard. When the first video is cleared from the DISPLAY
monitor, the next alarmed video ('next' being the camera which
became alarmed second) will be displayed until cleared; operation
continues in this manner. Note that alarms can be armed and
disarmed individually as required. Note also that all alarms must
be manually cleared; the presence of alarm video is not dependent
upon the duration of the alarm input signal to the system.
