The Matrix System150 is compact, high in quality and cost effective

The new Panasonic Matrix System150 is ideal for small-scale surveillance applications. The Matrix Switcher can link up to 64 cameras, 4 monitors and 4 controllers. It can be
combined with our dome cameras providing excellent image quality. All of the Matrix System150’s 64 channels employ Panasonic proprietary coaxial, multiplex connectors. Video signals, control data, synchronous signals (VD2) and alarm signals all travel over a single cable, reducing the number of lines required for camera installation. Cables can be as long as 1,200 m. This System also supports remote camera control using RS-485 data. The Matrix System150 is loaded with special features including tour sequencing, alarms, video loss detection, and character displays o the monitor. All features are easy to operate using the WV-CU650 dedicated system controller. One major feature is the ease of changing system settings using menus displayed on a personal computer. Providing direct control of all device settings as well as user management features, the system administration software bundled with the Matrix System150 imposes no extra burden on system administrators. Access to vital settings data can be restricted to a specified level of user through use of User ID operator number and passwords. The Matrix System150 is ideal for schools, supermarkets, banks, parking lots, warehouses, and correctional facilities. The Matrix System150’s small scale system simplifies operation while providing all the features required for high level surveillance.

Major Features and Functions

Camera

Supports up to 64 cameras. All 64 channels are coaxial, multiplex cables, reducing the number of cables required and simplifying installation. Supports up to 64 RS-485, remote-controlled cameras. Pan, tilt and other cameras lens motions can be controlled either by coaxial, multiplex cable or RS-485 remote- control signals. Cables can be up to 1,200 m long. The video loss detection function automatically detects camera malfunctions.

System

• All sequence and alarm modes can be adjusted as needed.
• User management features include operator number, password, level, and priority.
• Personal computer screen displays simplify setup and management of alarm histories.
• Supports up to 80 alarm inputs and four alarm outputs.

Monitor

Output supports up to 4 monitors. Character displays show date, time, camera number, camera title, and event information. Alarm history display shows up to 100 most recent alarms.

External Links

The RS-485 camera ports allow remote surveillance. The RS232C ports enable connection to personal computers or VTRs. The above all photographs were taken for the purpose of explanation; actual images may differ.

Sequencing Increases Monitoring Efficiency

Preset the sequence in which to view an image from a series of different cameras. The WV-CU650 System Controller makes it possible to choose from a variety of sequence patterns with push-button ease. Just select the one that provides the most effective coverage.

Tour Sequence

The monitor switches automatically, following a pre-set sequence from channel 1 to channel 64. Each sequence can include up to 64 steps with each step set from one to 30 seconds in length. In addition, dome cameras can also be pre- set to precisely the viewing angle you need. Up to 32 touring patterns can be stored in memory for easy recall.

Instant No Escape Alarms

Sequence mode (In response to spot alarm)
When the alarm signal is received, the monitor and camera instantly switch to the spot from which it originates. When two or more alarms are received, the system switches instantly to the spot from which the latest alarm originates. Pressing the ACK key switches operator control to the camera from which the alarm was received.

Group Sequence (Simultaneous tour sequencing)
This feature allows you to activate multiple, pre set tour sequences by pushing a single button. Each group can include up to four tour sequences. Up to four group sequences can be stored in memory.

Instant No Escape Alarms

Sequence mode (In response to spot alarm)

This feature allows you to activate multiple, pre-set tour sequences by pushing a single button. Each group can include up to four tour sequences. Up to four group sequences can be stored in memory. When the alarm signal is received, the monitor and camera instantly switch to the spot from which it originates. When two or more alarms are received, the system switches instantly to the spot from which the latest alarm originates. Pressing the ACK key switches operator control to the camera from which the alarm was received.

Hold mode (In response to spot alarm)

When the alarm signal is received, the monitor shows the image from the pre- set camera. When two or more alarms are received, the monitor continues to show the image of
the spot from which the first alarm was received. Pressing the ACK key switches operator control to the camera from which the alarm was received.

Concerning start of Sequence Alarm

The system can also be pre-set to start a tour sequence when an alarm signal is received. However, once a sequence begins, a second alarm cannot enter the monitor, as it can in sequence or hold mode.

Most recent 100 alarms display

The monitor display shows up to 100 of the most recent alarms in chronological order, allowing quick confirmation of alarm location, date, and time. Images can be recalled and reviewed with push button ease using the WV-CU650 system controller.

Alarm history management

Using a personal computer.The alarm log can be output to a personal computer using the RS232C serial port, allowing use of the personal computer to manage alarm histories.

Channels are All Transmitted via the Same Coaxial Cable

Video signals, control data, synchronous signals (VD2), and alarm signals are all transmitted over the same coaxial, multiplex cable. Use of the same cable reduces both time and trouble required for camera installation. Each coaxial cable can be up to 1,200 m long.

• Video signal
  Transmits the image captured by the camera to the Matrix Switcher.

• Control data
  Transmits control data from the switcher to the cameras that are compatible with Panasonic coaxial control system. Transmits alarm signal from the cameras to the switcher.

• Synchronous signals (VD2)
  Supports almost all Panasonic CCD cameras (see compatible camera list). Allows simultaneous image switching by cameras and the Matrix Switcher, preventing image distortion.

• Alarm signals
  Transmits alarm signals received from the camera to the Matrix Switcher, initiating the pre-set alarm event sequence.

Integrated Dome Camera| WV-CW960/970 Series, WV-CS950 Series, WV- CS570 Series

Since 1988, most of Panasonic cameras have been designed and manufactured to accept VD2 signal for system integration.

User Management Protects Against Misuse

This system manages user names and other user information for up to 16 users, who may use the controller itself or log in from a personal computer. Matrix System150 operation can be limited by use of five user attributes including operator number, password, level, priority, and the cameras the user is permitted to operate. This user management feature prevents improper use by outsiders or unauthorized persons.
