American Dynamics ADMPCPU manual Camera Status, Passive Hot Switch Status

•Video State – Indicates the video loss level detected.

•Sync State – Indicates whether a video sync signal is detected.

•Tour No. – Indicates the number of a Tour currently loaded or running on the monitor.

•Site No. – Indicates the site (1-30) called to the monitor. The MegaPower CPU can control up to 30 sites.

Camera Status

The Camera Status screen displays information about the state and synchronization of each camera’s video. The information is for reference only and cannot be edited.

Note: The camera status information is loaded as required. Initially the fields are empty. As you page up or down, the screen will be populated from requests made to the MegaPower CPU unit. This allows you to only view what is needed.

Tool tips pop-up explanations appear whenever the cursor hovers over a column heading.

Click on the Status – Camera Status link in the Explore menu to begin. The following screen appears.

The Camera Status screen provides the following information:

•MPCPU A / MPCPU B – Radio buttons that enable you to select and view the status of the cameras connected to the chosen MegaPower CPU.

•Video Input – Displays the number of the physical video input connector on the rear panel of the MegaPower system.

•Camera No. – Displays the number that the camera is referenced by on the keyboard and in the EASY CPU configuration.

•Title 1 – Displays on the monitor the first line of a camera title when the camera is called.

•Title 2 – Displays on the monitor the second line of a camera title when the camera is called.

•Video State – Indicates the current video state of the camera:

−Yes – Video is detected

−No – Video loss detected

−Don’t Care – Video loss detection not configured, or no communication exists to video loss card.

•Sync State – Indicates the synchronization state of the video signal to the selected camera and is used in connection with the video loss setup:

−Yes – Video synchronization present

−No – Video synchronization not present

−Don’t Care – Video synchronization portion of

the video signal is ignored.

Note: The camera status screen columns for Dome/PTZ On-line through Device Serial Number are only used for the Dome/PTZ Device Direct Connection to the MP CPU and not for AD2091 or AD2083 connected domes.

•Dome/PTZ On-Line – Indicates the on-/off-line status of the dome:

−Yes – Dome/PTZ is currently answering polls

−No – Dome/PTZ has answered polls since system power-on or reset, but is not currently answering polls and has exceeded its retry count

−– (dash) – Dome/PTZ has not answered a poll since power-on or reset

−(blank) – Camera is not configured for a direct MegaPower CPU dome/PTZ connection.

•Dome/PTZ Connection– Displays codes identifying the connection type: M for Manchester, S for SensorNet, and R for RS-232/RS-485.

•Dome/PTZ Address – Displays the address configured for the dome.

•Mnemonic – Displays a six-character code that identifies the dome type; for example, SDU 8.

•Flash Version No. – Displays the 14-character dome CPU board firmware version number.

•Device Type – Identifies the dome CPU board type; for example, 0150 for SDU 8.

•Device Serial Number – Displays the 20-character dome serial number.

•Device Date of Manufacture – Displays the eight-character date the dome was manufactured.

Passive Hot Switch Status

The Passive Hot Switch Status screen displays the real-time status of the passive hot switch between dual MegaPower CPUs. This information is for reference only and cannot be edited. The passive hot switch monitors the status of the MPUs in a dual MegaPower CPU system. If the selected MPU fails, the passive hot switch switches to the non-selected MPU.
