Camera Switcher

The looping camera switcher, part #81059, provides 16 looping camera inputs which are electronically switched to a single monitor output. The switching functions of the 81059 are determined by the program detained in the processor supplying data to the device. The looping camera switcher provides electronically switched and buffered switching for all camera input signals. The switching is synchronized on the video signal to allow for in phase switching of all cameras. In addition, the on board video amplifier buffers the incoming, thus providing a video signal to the monitor output line. The looping camera switcher can be utilized in a matrix configuration or any camera switching configuration. The functions of the switching are determined by the programs contained in the processors driving the data loops of the devices. The address assignments of the camera inputs are determined by the dip switch located on the 81059 camera switcher. A chart showing the dip switch settings versus the input addresses is shown on the following page. The camera video signals are completely isolated from the MTI control system. All control signals are optically coupled on the 81059, thus providing complete electrical isolation between the control system and the camera system.
