Description
The EDI5000 Endura® data interface provides a flexible integration platform between
When the data interface receives commands from the American Dynamics matrix system keyboard it routes these commands to either the matrix switcher or to the Endura system. When an Endura camera is selected, the data interface routes video from the Endura camera to an Endura decoder and then switches the matrix camera input associated with the Endura decoder (through an analog connection) to the current matrix system monitor.
Data is communicated over a serial connection between the data interface and the matrix switcher, and through a network connection between the data interface and the Endura network.

SAMPLE APPLICATIONS
You can connect an American Dynamics matrix system and Endura system in either or both of the following ways:
•Endura recording system: You can use the Endura system to record video from matrix system cameras. In this application, analog video from matrix system cameras is looped to Endura encoders and converted into digital video streams, which are recorded by Endura system recorders. When an operator views the recorded video in the matrix system, Endura decoders convert the recorded video streams to analog video. A simple example of this application is illustrated in Figure 1 on page 7.
•Endura expansion system: You can use the Endura system to expand the number of cameras that can be viewed in the matrix system. In this application, video from cameras in the Endura system is routed through Endura decoders and converted into analog video that can be viewed in the matrix system. An example of this application is illustrated in Figure 2 on page 7.
In each type of system, the data interface sends data over a serial connection to the matrix switcher, and through a network connection to the Endura network.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 on page 7 illustrate simple systems that each provide one method of integrating Endura with the matrix system. A more complex system could use both methods (Endura for recording and Endura for expansion) within the same system.
NOTE: Endura decoders must be at version 1.04.0032 or later.
