Video Processing Equipment

The new EKR matrix switcher series is now complete with the EKR-8/4, EKR-16/4 and 32/8 models and covers all requirements ranging from small CCTV applications right up to complex systems. All three matrix switchers offer extensive alarm management.

This allows connected cameras and monitors to be called up in groups, or signals from specific cameras can be hidden. The date and time of each alarm status and the programmed camera name can be output on the screen. When there is an alarm, the corresponding camera switches to the monitor and overwrites the current image. Also, an alarm is triggered to the security team when a video signal malfunctions.

Matrix operation is performed by the keyboards or also by an external PC over the RS-232 interface, and they are programmed via the keyboard and password-protected screen menus. Remote control of all key camera functions (pan, tilt, zoom, focus) as well as selection of stored preset positions is also featured. Several RS-485 interfaces are available for connecting pan/tilt systems and keyboards as well as multiplexer control.
