Multiple JCU/Camera Installations

In some installations, the system may include additional components, such as additional cameras 
or JCUs, video equipment, or network equipment. More than one JCU can be used to control the 
camera, and more than one display can be used to view the video. Also a single JCU can be used 
to control more than one camera and optionally you can also use a PC to control the camera.

Refer also to the M-Series ICD (FLIR Doc. # 432-0003-XX-YY) for interconnect diagrams showing 
several possible system configurations using more than one JCU.

The following diagrams show dual-payload system configurations using a customer supplied PoE 
switch and a separate monitor for each video signal.
