DESCRIPTION

The Tx1500 is a video matrix and telemetry control system offering control of up to 96 cameras from 4 control positions. 8 monitor outputs are provided as standard. Monitor 1,2,3 & 4 are control monitors with on screen display and monitors 5,6,7 & 8 are spot monitors.

Up-the-coax telemetry receivers can be controlled when viewed on monitors 1,2,3 & 4. RS485 linked receivers and domes can be controlled when viewed on any monitor.

Control of the full range of BBV coaxial telemetry receivers and dome interfaces is provided as standard.

BBV’s new generation of RS485 controlled telemetry receivers, RX457 and RX557, can be driven by the built in RS485 telemetry port. Protocol converters are available to allow RS485 control of selected domes.

The RS485 can be either daisy chained from receiver to receiver or to simplify wiring an 8 port RS485

StarCard can be used allowing a star-wiring configuration. When wired as a star, a fault on a single leg allows the remaining receivers to operate.

TX1500 COMPONENTS

A Tx1500 system comprises of several different types of card enclosed in a subrack or mounted remotely.

The subrack can be fitted to a 19” rack via supplied ears that can be mounted on the front or rear face of the subrack. By fitting the ears on the back of the subrack, it can also be wall mounted.

The Monitor output card communicates with the other cards via a 4 wire multi-drop RS422 protocol named B-

BUS. B-BUS devices can be linked using Cat5e patch cables when mounted local to the Tx1500 and via a good quality twin twisted pair screened data cable when mounted remotely.

A complete Tx1500 system will comprise of at least the video matrix to allow switching of video onto 8 monitor outputs. BBV up-the-coax telemetry receivers can be controlled directly using a single coax connection to each camera position. RS485 control of the BBV RX457 (AC) receiver and RX557 (DC) receiver is also provided.

An 8 output RS485 starcard is available to simplify RS485 installations and an optional protocol converter allows control of an expanding range of other manufacturers dome cameras.

Site alarms and contacts are handled with the alarm card that provides 16 inputs. Each input must be a volts free, normally closed contact that opens on alarm activation. Up to 6 alarm cards can be linked into the

Tx1500 system either local or remote offering 96 alarm inputs. An alarm disable input is provided on each alarm card. Providing a closed contact on the disable input will prevent the alarms on this card from being processed.

Off site control, via video/data transmission equipment, and local control from PC and other equipment is made possible by using the B-BUS interface. As far as the Tx1500 is concerned the interface is another keyboard. The interface can be driven using either the Tx1000 or Tx1500 RS232 control protocols.

B-BUS CONTROL BUS

The Tx1500 ‘talks’ with all keyboards, alarm card and control interfaces via a polled 4 wire multidrop RS422 control bus named B-BUS.

All the units are equipped with standard RJ45 connectors allowing cat 5 patch cables to be used to connect over short distances. On the larger sites RJ45 break out boxes are used to link between cat 5 cables and good quality screen twin twisted pair data cable via screw terminals. The breakout box is as follows:

TxB from MONITOR CARD = 5

RxB to MONITOR CARD = 6

(0V) SCREEN = 7

(0V) SCREEN = 8

4 = TxA from MONITOR CARD

3 = RxA to MONITOR CARD

VIDEO INPUT CARD

The Video Input Card is used to connect 16 camera inputs to the Tx1500. Systems larger than 16 cameras will use multiple cards. A board mounted DIL switch is used to set the card’s camera numbers.

Each input has a corresponding looping output on the lower BNC connector. The camera inputs are passively terminated at 75

Ω

and auto de-terminate when a BNC plug is connected to the looping output. Up to 6 cards can be used to allow up to 96 camera inputs.

16 ALARM INPUT CARD

Each alarm card provides up to 16 individual normally closed volts free alarm inputs. The card communicates via B-BUS with the monitor output card. Power comes via either the B-BUS interface when the alarm card is mounted in the Tx1500 rack or via an external 9-12Vac/dc supply when mounted remotely.

The power led is used as a status indication and shows the following:

Mainly ON, flashing OFF when the MONITOR card polls it approx 2-3 times every second. (NORMAL)

OFF permanently – ALARM card not powered or faulty.

ON permanently – Not polled by MONITOR card, b-bus cable faulty or ALARM card faulty.

ALARM MENUS

Alarm handling of the Tx1500 is programmed in from the Alarm Menu screens.

Up to four actions can be carried out following each alarm activation. Eg four cameras could move to preset positions to triangulate onto an event.

On selection of Alarm Menus the following screen is displayed

You have 16 alarms

enabled and connected

Enter Alarm number 00

to Edit

The Tx1500 will display the total number of alarms that can be

Return programmed based on the number of alarm cards that are connected to the system.

This example shows a system with a single 16 input alarm card.

Enter the alarm number you wish to program using the 0-9 keys and 2 digits. Eg 01 for alarm 1. The following screen will then be displayed.

Alarm 1

kbd cam mon pre time

Action 1 01 1 01 30s

No Action 1 01 1 00 30s

No Action 1 01 1 00 30s

Each of the four actions allows a camera to be moved to a preset position and for this camera to be displayed on a monitor output. In addition, if the monitor was sequencing before the alarm occurred, after ‘time’ seconds the sequence is re-started.

If alarms are taken into the local alarm input of one of these receivers, Rx100/Rx400DC/Rx457/Rx557, pre must be set to 00 to

No Action 1 01 1 00 30s

Return Exit next prev allow the receiver to drive the camera to a preset.

See the receiver manual for more details of local alarms.

This simple example shows alarm 1 moving camera 1 to preset 1 and display on monitor 1. next and prev allow setting the alarm actions for the next and previous alarm inputs.

SEQUENCES

Each of the 8 monitor outputs of the Tx1500 can sequence between all or specific cameras. Each camera can be individually added or removed from each monitor sequence to create a system where say in a retail environment public store monitors are prevented from displaying sensitive areas of the store whilst monitors in the security office can sequence all cameras.

Individual cameras can be added or removed from sequences in banks of 8 as shown on the following screen:

Sequence types.

2/5/15… Second – standard sequence starting at the lowest camera. Waiting for the dwell time before displaying the next camera.

Random – The cameras are sequenced as above from lowest to highest but the dwell time is random.

Full Rand – In Full Random the monitor will display a completely random camera for a random dwell. This is useful for public display monitors on shop floor to prevent shoplifters remembering the displayed sequence.

A camera will be in a specific monitor’s sequence if a Y is displayed or be skipped if an N is displayed.

Use the + or – keys to toggle between Y and N.

Next8 will allow display of the next bank of 8 cameras.

BBV coax would be used to control the existing range of BBV up-the-coax receivers.

Rx100 for dome control. Rx200/300/400P for AC heads, Rx400DC for high/variable speed 24Vdc heads.

BBV 485 TP is used to drive the new advanced range of addressable BBV receivers that are controlled using two wire RS485 or domes via RS485 and a BBV protocol converter. The RX457 is used when driving AC pan/tilt heads and the RX557 is used for high/variable speed 24Vdc heads. Both receivers offer additional features including an On Screen Display with an advanced menu system, 8 local alarm inputs, wide input supply, DIP switch addressable allowing either star or daisy chained wiring. Full details can be found on the BBV web site www.bbvcctv.com

Kbd: If a keyboard is allowed to control the camera select Y or if the keyboard can only view but not control the camera select N.

Monitor: Select Y if the camera can be displayed on each monitor or N if not. This allows cameras to be hidden from specific monitors/operators.
