About the MegaPower 168
Matrix Switcher/Controller
System
The MegaPower 168 (AD168) Matrix Switcher/
Controller System is an integrated CCTV matrix
switching and control system for CCTV
surveillance systems with multiple video inputs,
outputs, and control stations. Video inputs are
typically provided by local or remote cameras and
other video sources. Video output is viewed on
monitors, or recorded on VCRs or digital video
recorders located at system control points.
In addition to providing video input and output
switching, the AD168 system can respond to
alarms and perform auxiliary switching for the
control of gates, doors, lights, and other output
devices. Depending on the control requirements of
a given application, various AD keyboards and
accessory devices can be used in concert with the
system bays, cameras, and monitors.
The AD168 Matrix Switcher/Controller System is
designed to support plug-in modules having a
broad range of functionality. Plug-in modules
include:
• Power Supply module
• Central Processing module (CPM)
• Video Input modules
• Video Output modules
• Optional Control Code modules
Built-in expansion capabilities permit the addition of
a second AD168 Bay to increase the number of
video output devices supported.
External communications to system devices can be
achieved through a variety of protocols, including
Manchester Control Code, RS-232, RS-422, and
SensorNet. A parallel printer port is standard with
each AD168 system to provide printed copies of
operating parameters and alarm events.
