The screen is split into two sections:
•The upper screen displays existing camera definitions and has an Add button in the upper right corner to add new camera definitions. It also has a reset button that allows you to reset camera pseudo numbers to the system default. The range for pseudo numbers is
Further, the upper screen allows you to change (add or delete) monitor access in the Monitor Access column.
•The lower screen has two tabs: Calling Contacts and Salvo Callups, which allow you to set alarm contacts and view salvo callups.
−Calling contacts must first be defined in the Alarms – Contact Definitions screen. Calling contact changes can be made directly in the Calling Contacts tab’s fields.
−Salvos must first be defined in the Switching – Salvos screen before they can be viewed in this screen. No changes to Salvos can be made within this tab and is for information only.
Note: Changes made in this screen are also reflected in the Partitions – Monitors to Cameras screen (Figure 131 on page 59). Also, when pseudo numbers are changed, the changes are reflected wherever the pseudo numbers are referenced, such as alarm contact, salvo, and tour definitions.

Figure 111. Add Cameras dialog
3.To partition cameras to monitors, complete the following fields:
•Number of Cameras – Allows you to enter the number of cameras you want to define. The system will number these cameras consecutively starting with the next highest available number. Camera numbers identify the video input connection number on the switcher.
Note: If multiple cameras are defined at the same time, they share the same video loss detection, site, output, pan/tilt, alarm number and location. You can edit each camera’s definition after they have been created.
•Pseudo Number. – Unique identifiers you can give cameras to help identify their location or purpose. For example, you could number the cameras on the first floor of a building starting with 1000, such as: 1001, 1002, 1003, etc. You could use 2000 for second floor cameras, 3000 for third floor cameras and so on.
The pseudo number is assigned starting with the first camera you specify and is incremented by 1 for each additional camera specified.
Note: By default, pseudo numbers in this dialog box match the physical camera numbers (also known as Video Input numbers). In all other screens and dialogs, references to camera numbers are actually references to the defined pseudo numbers.
