13.6 Camera Number

The left-most display on the top line shows the camera number. This number is gen- erated by the system and is always displayed. Each number is unique and identifies this camera when using the keyboard for video call-ups.

In base systems, this number is the same as the numbered BNC connector that the camera is plugged into on the rear of the bay (physical camera number). However, the optional LTC 8059/00 MCS package or the optional LTC 8850/00 GUI Software package can be used to change this number to any unique number between 1 and 9999.

The option to display a 2-digit site number above the 4-digit camera number is user- selectable. This “6-digit Camera ID” mode is especially useful when groups of cam- eras are located in separate buildings, floors, or other common areas.

13.7 Camera Title

The camera identification display is the first 16 characters of the lower line. These 16 characters label each camera. Each camera has its own title, which is displayed whenever that camera is called-up for viewing. The characters can be entered from the keyboard (see User Function 9) or may be entered from the personal computer keyboard using the optional LTC 8059/00 MCS package or the optional LTC 8850/00 GUI Software package. A user selectable option provides the ability to display a 3rd line of on-screen text. This third line can be configured to display up to 24 additional camera title characters (40 characters total) or a 12-character monitor title. There are over 4000 different characters that can be displayed. See Chapter 20, “Charac- ter ROM Tables for LTC 8600 and LTC 8800,” on page 86.

13.8 Video Loss Detection

The Allegiant system is capable of detecting loss of video. When the unit detects lost video, the respective monitor display a VIDEO NOT PRESENT message.

NOTE It may take up to five (5) seconds for the unit to display the video loss message when a video source is disconnected.
