CCTV CHARACTERISTICS (Cont'd)
Video Switcher - A microprocessor based and software programmable, solid state modular switching system. The
switcher contains 8 input PWAs for support of 16 camera inputs for each PWA. The switcher also contains 4 input
PWAs for support of up to 16 video monitors. The built-in power supply is used in support of the PWAs.
Monitor - A nine in. black and white display mounted in the CCTV console up to five (5) monitors, with the 5th
monitor used for video storage viewing or manual selection.
Video Synchronization Generator - Provides horizontal, vertical drive, blanking, and synchronization signals at the 75
ohm output connectors.
Video Synchronization Distribution Amplifier - A standalone item that provides 6 isolated outputs. It is used in
applications where separate video feeds are required. This allows for specific pieces of equipment to be connected
and disconnected without disturbing the video signal to other destinations.
Character Generator - The video annotation equipment includes sixteen characters for each video source, a built-in
camera identifier, stacked time and date, and a matrix switcher status display.
Video Storage and Playback Equipment - The video cassette recorder is a front loading VCR that can provide up to
720 hours of time lapse recording.
Camera Support Equipment - There are four different types of camera support equipment; Interior support or wall
mount, exterior support, cantilever camera support and straight camera pole support.
Lenses - The lens size used on the interior 1/2 in. and exterior 2/3 in. cameras range from 3.5 mm to 75 mm, and
are factory installed.
CCTV CAPABILITIES AND FEATURES
Cameras - The 112 in. series cameras are bright light tolerant, allowing clear pictures with incidental light sources.
The variable gain Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit provides up to 30 db of additional amplification for increased
sensitivity at low light levels while maintaining picture sharpness. These cameras are equipped with a separate BNC
connector to accept composite video, or composite sync for genlock operation. The cameras allow for both top and
bottom mounting.
The 2/3 in. series cameras have a variable gain AGC circuit that provides up to 20 db of additional amplification for
increased sensitivity at low light levels while maintaining picture sharpness. The lens mount is a standard "C" mount.
Monitor - The monitor reproduces ten shades of gray. The front panel has a slide switch for power on/off with light
emitting diode (LED) pilot light. It has a rotary knob for each of contrast, vertical hold, horizontal-hold, and
brightness.
