TRANSMIT PROGRAMMING SETTINGS

When you program the CM6800 switcher with the CM6800-MGR, you must transmit the programming settings to the CM6800. Refer to Send CM6800-MGR Settings to the CM6800 Switcher. Since the CM6800 can be programmed from either the CM6800-MGR software or the CM6800 programming menus, the two programming sources could potentially have different settings. Pelco recommends that you always synchronize programming changes between the CM6800-MGR and the CM6800.

Synchronize Settings
If you always program the CM6800 from the CM6800-MGR and never change settings directly through the CM6800, the two programming sources are synchronized when you send CM6800-MGR settings to the CM6800. Refer to Send CM6800-MGR Settings to the CM6800 Switcher. If you always program the CM6800 through the CM6800 programming menus and never change the settings in the CM6800-MGR, Pelco strongly recommends saving your programming settings to the CM6800-MGR. This allows you to back up your system programming in the event that a system reset is required or is triggered accidentally, synchronize system settings between the CM6800-MGR and the CM6800, in the event that you use the CM6800-MGR to program your system in the future.

Once you save CM6800 changes to the CM6800-MGR the two programming sources are synchronized. Refer to Receive Settings from the CM6800 Switcher. If you use both programming sources to program the CM6800sometimes through the CM6800 programming menus and other times through the CM6800-MGRsynchronize settings as soon as you change settings from either source. Otherwise, any default or unchanged settings from either programming source could overwrite settings in the alternate source. Always save programming changes made through the CM6800 programming menus to the CM6800-MGR immediately. Refer to Receive Settings from the CM6800 Switcher. When you make programming changes through the CM6800-MGR, the two programming sources are synchronized as soon as you send CM6800-MGR settings to the CM6800 switcher. Refer to Send CM6800-MGR Settings to the CM6800 Switcher.

C1530M-E (2/05)

Assign a Logical Alarm Number (CM6800E-48X8 only; Optional)

Each CM6800E alarm type (internal, external, and video loss) has been assigned a series of default logical alarm numbers, which start at 001 and continue sequentially. Depending on how you use the CM6800E system, the default logical alarm numbers could create a numbering conict, as described below. Logical alarm numbers are used in the following ways: When an alarm is triggered, the logical alarm number, along with the alarm icon and the alarm letter (I for internal; E for external; V for video) appears on monitors programmed through the Alarm Group screen to display the alarm. Using the default logical alarm numbers is acceptable in this situation, because the alarm letter indicates what type of alarm is active. If you program the CM6800E to report alarms to an ASCII device (refer to the Ports section), then you must assign unique logical alarm numbers to each alarm type. Otherwise numbering conicts will occur; for example, an internal alarm numbered 001 would be reported in the same way as an external alarm numbered 001. If you use the CM6800E as a satellite device in the CM9740/CM9760 system, and set the CM6800E to report alarms, then you must assign each CM6800E alarm a logical alarm number that is unique within the CM9740/CM9760 system (i.e. when used as a satellite device, the CM6800E shares the same pool of logical alarms numbers as the CM9740/CM9760 system).

To assign new logical alarm numbers, navigate to the appropriate Logical Alarm Number window as shown in Figure 23.

LOGICAL CAMERA NUMBERS

A logical number is a user-selectable, variable number and is always associated with an actual physical input. A physical input number represents an actual BNC input on the rear panel of the CM6800 switcher and is a xed number. Within the CM6800-MGR and at the operator level, the logical number is the number used for reference. Default logical numbers start at 0001 and continue sequentially. For a different numbering scheme, use the Logical Camera window to assign new logical numbers. NOTE: When using the CM6800E as a satellite device in a CM9760 system, the logical camera numbers assigned in this window are not related to the satellite logical alarm number assigned in the Logical Alarm Number windows.

Figure 32. Logical Camera Number Window The numbers in the PHYSICAL # column are the physical input numbers; each represents an actual BNC input on the rear panel of the CM6800 and cannot be changed. In the LOGICAL # eld for each physical camera input assign a valid logical number (1-9998). A valid number is any number from 1 to 9998 that has not already been assigned to a physical camera input. NOTE: If you send a new logical camera number from the CM6800-MGR to the CM6800, you cannot control the camera until you select the camera number from the CM6800 system keyboard: The CM6800-MGR automatically updates all other usages of the logical camera number, such as in sequences and macros.

PRIORITY PAGE
The CM6800 provides eight levels of priority control. Assign priority levels to create a hierarchy of system devices for controlling a pan/tilt/zoom (camera positioning system). A higher-level keyboard takes precedence over a lower-level keyboard when the keyboards are simultaneously issuing control commands. Priority levels also determine the ability of each device to access CM6800 switcher on-screen programming menus. Priority level applies system wide; a keyboard assigned priority level 2 on port 8 has a higher priority than a keyboard assigned priority level 4 on port 5.

Figure 37. Priority Page

Port: Priority:

Select the COM port number for which you are programming priority control. For each keyboard connected to the specied port, assign a priority level (1-8). POSSIBLE VALUES: Level 1 = highest priority Level 8 = lowest priority Levels 1 - 3 have the ability to access the CM6800 switcher programming screens. Levels 4-8 cannot access the CM6800 switcher programming screens. The lowest level or keyboards located at the same level will access devices on rst-come, rst-served basis. NOTE: You can connect only one ASCII keyboard/device per port on the CM6800. For ASCII keyboards priority control is based on the entry for keyboard 1.

ALARM GROUP DISPLAY OPTIONS

To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to an alarm group. Before programming alarms you may want to determine the alarm display format for each alarm group. An alarm can include up to eight steps, so eight camera views could display as a part of each alarm. CM6800 Alarm Groups: CM6800-32X6 = A through F CM6800E-48X8 = A through H CM6800-96X16 = A through P A priority alarm appears on system monitors before non-priority alarms, despite the order specied by the alarm group assignment. In the examples below, all alarms are at the same priority level. Refer to the Priority description in Internal and External Alarms.

BLOCK BUILD
Alarmed cameras are displayed across a block of alarm monitors in a sequential order. All steps programmed for the alarm contact appear on the designated monitor. Example: Seven alarms set to display on monitors 2-6 will appear in the following order: Monitor 2B 3B 4B 5B 6B 1st Display Cycle 1st alarm 2nd alarm 3rd alarm 4th alarm 5th alarm Next Display Cycle 1st and 6th alarms cycle 2nd and 7th alarms cycle 3rd alarm 4th alarm 5th alarm Acknowledging Alarms 1 & 2 Acknowledge 1st alarm Acknowledge 2nd alarm 3rd alarm 4th alarm 5th alarm Next Display Cycle 6th alarm 7th alarm 3rd alarm 4th alarm 5th alarm

New alarms display on the lowest monitor number with the fewest alarms cycling.

CHRONOLOGICAL PAIR: D AND Q

The oldest alarm of a specic group is displayed on one designated monitor, while all other alarms in the group are sequenced on the second designated monitor. All steps programmed for the alarm contact appear on the designated monitor. Example: Four alarms set to display on monitors 4 and 5 will appear in the following order: Monitor 1 Alarm 4D 1st alarm 5Q 2 Alarms 3 Alarms 1st alarm 1st alarm 2nd alarm 2nd and 3rd alarms cycle 4 Alarms 1st alarm 2nd, 3rd, and 4th alarms cycle

You must acknowledge alarms in a chronological pair from the display monitor (D). Then the next oldest alarm moves to the display monitor and the remaining alarms continue to cycle through the queue monitor (Q). This format requires you to acknowledge alarms in the order in which they occur. Acknowledging alarms in this example: Monitor 1st Cycle 4D Acknowledge 1st alarm 5Q 2nd, 3rd, and 4th alarms cycle Next Cycle Acknowledge 2nd alarm 3rd and 4th alarms cycle Next Cycle Acknowledge 3rd alarm 4th alarm Next Cycle Acknowledge 4th alarm

50

C1530M-E (2/05)

REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL PAIR: M AND L

The most recent alarm of a specic group is displayed on one designated monitor, while all other alarms in the group are sequenced on the second designated monitor. All steps programmed for the alarm contact appear on the designated monitor. Example: Four alarms set to display on monitors 4 and 5 will appear in the following order: Monitor 1 Alarm 4M 1st alarm 5L 2 Alarms 2nd alarm 1st alarm 3 Alarms 3rd alarm 1st and 2nd alarms cycle 4 Alarms 4th alarm 1st, 2nd, and 3rd alarms cycle

You must acknowledge alarms in a reverse chronological pair from the display monitor (M). Then the next most recent alarm moves to the display monitor and the remaining alarms continue to cycle through the queue monitor (L). This format requires you to acknowledge alarms in the reverse order from which they occur. Acknowledging alarms in this example: Monitor 1st Cycle 4M Acknowledge Alarm 4 5L Alarms 1, 2, and 3 cycle Next Cycle Acknowledge Alarm 3 Alarms 1 and 2 cycle Next Cycle Acknowledge Alarm 2 Alarm 1 Next Cycle Acknowledge Alarm 1

SALVO GROUP
Multiple camera views within the alarm contact programming (the steps) are displayed simultaneously as a group across a set of monitors. When a new alarm triggers, all monitors switch to the new alarm at the same time. When programming a Salvo Group: Program the Salvo Group to display across a number of monitors equal to the number of steps in the alarm contact(s); for example, if the alarm contact has six steps, set the Salvo Group to display on six monitors. If an alarm contact contains more steps than monitors dened for the Salvo Group, the additional steps do not appear on a monitor during the alarm. Each alarm contact assigned to the Salvo Group should contain the same number of steps. The Salvo Group switches based on the dwell time entered for the rst step in the alarm contact.

Example: Two alarm contacts with three steps display on three monitors as follows: Next Display Cycle 1st alarm, step 1 1st alarm, step 2 1st alarm, step 3 After Acknowledging 1st Alarm 2nd alarm, step 1 2nd alarm, step 2 2nd alarm, step 3

Monitor 1S 2S 3S

1 Alarm 1st alarm, step 1 1st alarm, step 2 1st alarm, step 3

2 Alarms 2nd alarm, step 1 2nd alarm, step 2 2nd alarm, step 3

HOW TO USE THE CM6800E-48X8 AS A SATELLITE DEVICE IN A 9700 SYSTEM

The CM6800E-48X8 can function as a remote satellite switcher in a 9700 System (a 9700 System is any matrix system using a CM9700-CC1; the CM9740/9760 systems are also supported). You can view and control up to 96 video inputs on the CM6800 either locally (from the CM6800), or remotely (from 9700 System keyboard operators).

CONFIGURE THE CM6800E-48X8 AS A SATELLITE DEVICE

In addition to any programming conguration needed for the devices connected to the CM6800E-48X8 (such as camera control and monitor settings), you must congure the following CM6800E satellite settings. Monitor: Change the appropriate monitor view to Tie-line Port: Change the port 7 device setting to Satellite Alarms (optional): Enable the appropriate internal and external alarm contacts, and then set them to report to the CM9740/CM9760 system.

Satellite programming instructions are provided in the following sections. Refer to the Programming section for basic CM6800E programming instructions. Once the CM6800E programming is complete, then you must congure the CM6800E-48X8 as a satellite device within the 9700 System conguration les. If you are using the CM9700-MGR System Manager software, refer to the Congure CM9700-MGR System Manager Settings section. If you are using the CM9760-MGR System Manager software, refer to the Congure CM9760-MGR System Manager Settings section.

Satellite Access
Change the setting to Tie-line for each monitor output connected to the 9700 System matrix bay, as shown below. Note that you must use the CM6800E-48X8 monitor outputs in sequential order, starting with monitor output 1. NOTE: This step is equivalent to setting the Satellite View Access in the CM6800E on-screen programming.

Satellite Alarms (Optional)

1. Enable the appropriate internal and external alarm contacts. Refer to the Alarm Contacts section for detailed instructions. 2. Congure the Port settings to report alarms to the CM9740/CM9760 system. Refer to the Satellite Port Settings section for instructions. 3. Open the appropriate Logical Alarm Number window (from the Alarm Contacts window), and then assign a logical number for each alarm contact, in sequential order. The logical number assigned in this window are reported to the CM9740/CM9760 system and they must match the physical number congured in the CM9740/CM9760 system (refer to Program the Alarms File in the CM9740/CM9760 System Settings section). These numbers are used by the CM9760-KBD keyboard to arm or acknowledge an alarm. Logical Alarm Number Considerations: If you set the CM6800E to report any CM6800E alarms to the CM9740/CM9760 system, you must assign each CM6800E alarm a logical alarm number that is unique within the CM9740/CM9760 system (i.e. when used as a satellite device, the CM6800E shares the same pool of logical alarm numbers as the CM9740/CM9760 system). To congure a CM6800E alarm(s) to report only within the CM6800E system, and not to the CM9740/CM9760 system, assign the alarm(s) a logical alarm number of 0. When the alarm(s) is triggered, the physical number of the alarm(s) appears on the CM6800E system monitor(s).

Glossary
Access The CM6800 allows you to restrict system control by (1) limiting the monitors or cameras a keyboard can access, or (2) limiting the cameras that can be viewed on a monitor. The CM6800 Matrix Switcher provides four formats for displaying alarmed cameras on system monitors: Block Build, Chronological Pair, Reverse Chronological Pair, and Salvo Group. To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to one or more alarm groups. Refer to Alarm Groups and Alarm Group Display Options. A priority alarm appears on system monitors before a non-priority alarm. Refer to the Priority description under Internal and External Alarms. The binary, 7-bit, 128-character set implemented as the standard in communications. Output relays can be used to control external devices based on matrix switcher activities. External devices can include VCRs, alarm devices, and triggers for audio circuits. In video, the greater the speed, the larger amount of information passed. In digital systems, this capacity is given in bits per second, or baud rates. An abbreviation for binary digit - the smallest unit of information a computer can use. A bit is either a 1 or a 0 (a high or low voltage state). An abbreviation for binary term bytes are strings of bits, operated upon as a unit. A byte is equal to eight bits (256 possibilities) and is large enough to hold one character (like an A or the number 1.) Some cameras contain an auxiliary output relay, which can be used to operate a device connected to the relay. This is Pelcos up the coax control technology. Control signals are sent back up the coaxial cable that the video signal travels down on. This is a communication port input on the rear panel of the matrix switcher. A matrix switcher that can select any video input onto any video output at any time. A eld with an arrow on the side. When you click the arrow, the list of values appears. (In some elds, such as on the Sequence window, the arrow does not appear until you click the eld.) This is the amount of time something happens in the system, such as the amount of time a camera view displays on a monitor, or an auxiliary is on. The matrix switcher can automatically initiate macros or sequences based on time and date. This is Pelcos Coaxitron control technology that uses 32 bits to send a command. A three-second camera scan (pan) followed by a three-second pause. The auxiliary device remains on until a command is given (by a system operator or system automation) to turn it off. A user-selectable, variable number, which is associated with an actual physical camera input on the rear panel of the matrix switcher. A sequence of commands or steps. Macros can be operated automatically or manually. Automatic operation can be based on specic times or dates (set through the Event Timer).

MAPI (Microsoft Mail)

MAPI (Messaging Application Program Interface) is a Microsoft Windows program interface that enables you to send e-mail from within a Windows application and attach the document you are working on to the e-mail note. The auxiliary output operation is activated briey and then turns off. A multiplexer allows an operator to view more than one video signal (usually either four, nine or sixteen signals) at one time on a single monitor. A multiplexer can also send these multiple images to the video recorder, switching rapidly between images from each camera. The color TV standard used in North America, Japan, and a few other countries. It species 525 lines/screen, and 29-30 frames/sec. A null modem cable allows you to connect your PC to another nearby PC or serial device by crossing over (reversing) their respective pin contacts. (A null modem cable is limited to 30 feet in length.) The color TV standard (50Hz) used by European, Asian, and some Latin American countries. It species 768 pixels/line, 576 lines/screen and 25 frames/sec. The parity bit is used to identify whether the bits being moved arrived successfully. Parity bit checking can be based on odd or even bits. No parity means that a parity bit is not transmitted or checked. A pattern is a user-dened, viewable camera path with a beginning and end. The number and time length of patterns varies with different positioning systems. A number representing an actual BNC camera input on the rear panel of the matrix switcher. This number cannot be changed. A preset allows operators to direct a PTZ (camera positioning system) to move to a predetermined scene on keyboard command or as a result of an alarm. In addition to moving the camera, a descriptive title can appear on the screen. The type of camera positioning system determines the number of presets available. This is the level of priority a system keyboard has to control a PTZ camera positioning system and to access CM6800 Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus. This is a camera positioning system with pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities. This is a camera scan moving in a random pattern. This is a wall block with eight terminals for connecting RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication lines. (This is Pelco part number CON12J00820360Z.) This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface standard used for data communication; the normal connection distance is 50 feet (15 m). Pelco uses this standard for communication from a controller to a PC or RS-232 network. The Pelco three-wire connection provides one wire for transmit, one wire for receive, and one wire for common. This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface standard. Pelco uses this standard for communication from a controller to one or more camera receivers (on the same line); the maximum recommended distance is 4,000 feet (1,219 m). The four-wire connection provides two wires for transmit and two wires for receive. Pelco receiver/ driver communication uses only the two transmit wires (commands are sent from the controller to the receiver only; the receiver does not talk back to the controller). Pelco keyboard communication uses all four wires.

This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface standard used for communication between multiple transmitters and receivers; the maximum recommended distance is 4,000 feet (1,219 m). The four-wire connection provides two wires for transmit and two wires for receive.

*NOTE: The electrical communication scheme used by Pelco is a direct-coupled method, not an AC-coupled method. Therefore, if the ground potential of the wire at its two end points is different (other than zero volts), an additional wire is required as a ground.

Scratchpad sequence

A scratchpad sequence can be run on an individual system monitor, without entering the password-protected CM6800 Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus. You can program scratchpad sequences from the CM6800 Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus only, not from the CM6800-MGR software. A sequence allows an operator to see a routine of up to 72 camera views on any system monitor in a continuous loop. A sequence can be operated automatically or manually. The order in which the camera views appear and the time each view remains can be set through programming. A sequence runs continuously until another sequence or macro begins, or until a system operator selects a different camera. This is Pelcos Coaxitron control technology that uses 15 bits to send a command. Since the CM6800 can be programmed from either the CM6800-MGR software or the CM6800 programming menus, the two programming sources could potentially have different settings. Pelco recommends that you always synchronize programming changes between the CM6800-MGR and the CM6800. Refer to Transmit Programming Settings. This is a keyboard compatible with and connected to the matrix switcher, allowing a system operator manual control over the system. This restores the system to the default settings, as shipped from the factory. This option sends a timing pulse from the matrix switcher to a compatible camera. The camera aligns the vertical synchronization with the timing pulse. A zone is a user-dened, physical location to which (1) a label is attached and (2) a camera is associated. When the associated camera is panned through or remains within this dened zone, the zone label appears on the monitor. With some camera systems, a zone can be blanked to prevent viewing while the camera is positioned in the zone.
