American Dynamics™ MegaPower LT matrix switcher systems
are designed to satisfy the needs of small scale installations.
The system is available in 16 and 32 input models and
supports American Dynamics MegaPower 1100, ADTTE,
AD2089, and ControlCenter 200 and 300 keyboards.
MegaPower LT is fully compatible with the SpeedDome series
of programmable dome cameras. It supports the
highly reliable ADnet RS-485 communication protocol as
well as SensorNet and digital AD-Up-The-Cable (AD-UTC)
protocols. These protocols enable you to “ping” the dome to
verify communication. In addition, the DirectSet feature
allows you to quickly change dome camera settings.
MegaPower LT supports standard dome features such as
presets, patterns and auxiliaries as well as “views,” which
allow an operator to call a camera/preset or camera/pattern
with a single command.
This small versatile system can be mounted virtually
anywhere—in racks, on walls or even under a desk. It
supports the robust features you would typically expect in a
high-end system including partitioning, priorities, sequences;
and includes a robust alarm-handling package. In addition,
you can network up to three MegaPower LT systems to form
a distributed system. MegaPower LT is also easily integrated
with other security system components through the
American Dynamics standard RS-232 keyboard protocol.

Multiple Mounting Options
Time and Date
MegaPower LT is provided with mounting ears that can be
attached to the unit in multiple orientations to enable desk,
wall or rack mounting.
Administrators can set the display to a 12 or 24-hour clock.
Three date formats are provided:
System Configuration
Modular, high-density system with a choice of 16 video
inputs and 4 video outputs or 32 video inputs and 8 video
outputs.
Camera Site Control
Users can control fixed and variable-speed domes, auxiliary
outputs, presets and patterns at suitably equipped camera
sites via the SensorNet outputs and the AD-UTC protocol.
Each input is independently configurable.
System Programming
On-screen menus enable use of any full-system keyboard
to program system features. Menu access is passcode
protected to prevent unauthorized access.
Passcode Menu Access
Two levels of menu access are provided, administrator and
supervisor. Only administrator access provides access to the
alarm and installer menus.
ADnet (RS-485) Communications
One RJ-45 connector allows standard communication with
keyboards, other MegaPower LT systems and other ADnet
devices. The port is programmable for data rates of 9.6k and
19.2k baud.
RS-232 Communications
The RJ-45 connector simultaneously supports RS-232
communications as well as ADnet. The port can expand to
4 ports with an optional port expander. This expands the
available RS-232 ports to a maximum of 4.
Selectable On-Screen Text
Each of the monitors can display the date/time, video input
number, monitor number, 16-character user-definable video
input or view title, alarm message and event message. White
character on-screen text with black outline optimizes viewing
on diverse contrast scenes. The user can turn each of the
displays on and off. In addition, users can select the line on
which each of the titles will appear.
Recorder Control (DirectControl)
With the ControlCenter 200 and 300 keyboards in ADnet
mode, users can control standard recorder functions
directly — play, stop, pause, record, rewind, fast forward,
eject — for both RS-232 controlled VCRs and digital recorders.
Users can customize the keyboards to support different
command sets.
• MM/DD/YY
• YY/MM/DD
• DD/MM/YY
In addition, the daylight savings time option enables the
clock to be adjusted forward, backward, or no action.
Views
Program up to 128 views, each with a camera input number
and either a preset number or a pattern number. Each view
can be given a unique title, which replaces the camera title
on the monitor display when selected either manually or as
part of a sequence.
Tours (Sequences)
Sixteen tours of video inputs may be established for call-up
to monitors at anytime. Each tour provides 16 positions for
insertion of video inputs and views — each with an individual
dwell time. Tours can be run forward or in reverse. They can
include the same video input multiple times and/or multiple
presets and patterns from a single camera. Two tours can be
connected together to provide up to 32 entries. Video inputs
partitioned from a monitor are automatically skipped.
Automatic Alarm Call-Up
Alarm inputs can be programmed to call any video input
to any one or more video outputs. For each alarm or
event, users can define a camera, preset, alarm title, event
message, keyboard sound level and/or auxiliary action.
Each monitor can be configured to display alarms. After
an alarm is cleared, the monitor can either display the last
alarm response or be returned to its pre-alarm state. The
global alarm settings have 5 display modes and 3 clearance
modes.
Alarm Display Modes
• None: No change to the monitor display.
• L
ast: If multiple alarms are received, the last alarm received
is displayed until it is cleared.
• S
tack: If multiple alarms are received, the alarms are
displayed on additional alarm enabled monitors. Additional
alarms are held in a queue of up to 255 events and 32
alarm inputs.
• S
witch: The first alarm in will be displayed on all alarm
monitors. Additional alarms will display on all alarm monitors
once the preceding alarm is cleared.
• R
otate: The first alarm in will be displayed on all alarm
monitors. Additional alarms will sequence in a pre-defined
dwell time (time-out) on all alarm monitors until
acknowledged. Alarm outputs are disabled in this mode.
Alarm Clearance Methods
DirectSet1
• Acknowledge: Alarms must be manually acknowledged.
Allows the operator to quickly access and change dome
camera settings either via an on-screen selection or simple
keyboard command, without the need to access the dome
menus. Features like wide dynamic range, day/night and
dome information screens can be easily accessed without
compromising other dome settings.
• T
ime Out: Alarms are automatically cleared after a
pre-defined dwell time of 2 to 99 seconds. Alarms can also
be manually acknowledged.
• T
ransparent: Alarms are cleared after the alarm contact
returns to its neutral state. If the contact returns to this state
before the transparent dwell time of 2 to 99 seconds, then
the alarm remains active for that predefined period. Alarms
can also be manually acknowledged.
Events
An event is a message that is passed from one matrix to
itself or other matrix systems (up to 3 on an ADnet network).
Up to 255 events can be defined and each system can have
a predefined event response. In addition, events can be
generated from any ControlCenter 200 or 300 keyboard to
produce a system response.
System Partitioning
Defining authorized access to keyboards, video inputs and
video outputs further enhances system flexibility. System
partitioning includes the following:
• K
eyboard-to-Monitor Access: Restricts selected
keyboards from accessing selected video outputs.
• K
eyboard-to-Camera Access: Restricts selected
keyboards from calling or controlling selected video inputs.
• K
eyboard-to-Camera Control Access: Allows selected
keyboards to view certain cameras but restricts those
keyboards from controlling the cameras.
Keyboard Priority Operation
Keyboards can be assigned one of 8 levels of priority control
of remote camera sites. Level 1 has highest priority for
control of cameras. Up to 4 keyboards may simultaneously
control PTZ devices.

Dome Ping
This utility allows the administrator to verify the integrity of
the communication between the matrix and the dome on
both SensorNet and the AD-UTC protocol.
Internal Video Loss Detection
Video loss detection is standard on all video inputs. If such
a camera is selected, a red screen will appear with a “Video
Loss Camera” message.
On-Board Diagnostics
Built-in diagnostics allow the user to determine the status of
the system’s internal components. LEDs on the front of the
unit clearly indicate power status and system health.
