Video Switching Subracks, Continued
Input/output subracks
In order for the MAXPRO-Net matrix video switching system to have control over other
associated equipment (camera PTZ's, VCRs, lights, boom gates, etc.), and to be able to
automatically respond to external alarm conditions, the system utilizes the I/O subracks.
These I/O subracks can accommodate:
•
Alarm input modules
•
Control output circuit modules
•
Specialized two-wire communications modules (for camera PTZ control).
•
Peripheral control interface modules (for VCR control)
1.2.4 MAXPRO-Net
Server
The MAXPRO-Net Server is programmed with the system's desired configuration and
performance specifications. It then manages all subracks and associated modules used
in the MAXPRO-Net Crosspoint Matrix Video Switching System.
Alarm management, remote equipment control, and of course, video switching
(including scanning) are all performed simultaneously by the MAXPRO-Net Server.
Application Modules
Modules are plugged into the subracks to perform the required tasks in the matrix video
system. Video switching modules, video text insertion modules, external alarm input
modules, and auxiliary control output modules are all available for use in a system. The
actual number of each type of module provided with your system is dependent upon
your system's design specifications.
1.2.5 VideoBlox
The VideoBlox is high-density switcher. MAXPRO-Net Server can control videoblox
Hardware. It is similar to HD Subrack. MAXPRO-Net Input and Output devices are
distributed across the Videoblox switcher.

C interface is used primarily to expand the Videoblox System. It is used to handle
external (remote) alarms and auxiliary outputs.
1.2.7
I/O cards, Titler cards and PTZ domes
PTZ domes and the cards (I/O and titler cards) will be on the RS422 line. MAXPRO-Net
shall control these domes and cards.
