Pelco CM6800E Matrix switcher/controller is a very affordable solution for medium-sized matrix switch applications. This fully integrated and highly versatile cross-point matrix switcher provides switching and control from any one of up to 18 keyboards This switcher can also be used to control other devices, such as Genex multiplexers. The CM6800E provides easy to use, passwordprotected, on-screen programming menus. Eight languages are
supported.
The CM6800E-48X8 can be used in the following configurations:
- A single unit provides 48 inputs and eight outputs.
- Two CM6800E-48X8 units can be combined, providing switching and control of up to 96 inputs and 16 outputs.
- The CM6800E-48X8 can function as a remote satellite switcher in a CM9700 Series system, allowing the system to handle additional video, alarm, and relay inputs, as well as allowing for use of M protocol devices, such as external alarm and relay units.
The Pelco CM6800E matrix is designed to be remotely operated from desktop
keyboards or external computer systems. Programming the system is easy using on-screen menus and a system keyboard or a Windows -based system management software. The manager software allows for remote programming and external storage of all user setups.
The user-enabled character display shows time and date, operation mode, camera number, and a 20-character title for quick, easy identification of the on-screen video.
The CM6800E supports powerful system macros (64) and programmable sequences (32), which allow activation of commonly occurring events based on time/calendar or alarms. Macros provide quick call-up of multiple cameras to multiple monitors. Macros may also activate preset positions and auxiliaries on suitably equipped (PTZ or dome) receivers; and activate external relays to turn on lights, lock doors, or control other auxiliary functions (additional equipment may be required).
Built-in video loss detection alerts operators or technicians. Logical camera numbering provides the ability to assign any camera number to the physical input. An integral color bar generator allows the user to adjust monitor settings.
With the Pelco CM6800E the system manager can select from a wide variety of alarm handling and display options. An alarm can trigger a macro, preset, or pattern, and alarmed cameras can be displayed on one or several monitors. There are also choices for the order in which alarms are displayed, alarm priorities, automatic or manual acknowledgement, and activation of auxiliaries.
Multiple ports are provided for PTZ control and keyboards. A single data line, using Pelco’s M protocol, can accommodate various types of equipment, such as keyboards and external alarm interface units. RS-232 ports allow for communication with a PC. Peripheral components allow for expansion of alarms, relay contacts, and keyboards.
