LTC 8508/01 Description
The LTC 8016/90 Allegiant Bilinx Data Interface unit is an accessory used for
communicating over-the-coax, with up to 16 Bilinx-capable AutoDome® and/or
Dinion™ Series cameras. Compatible with all seven Allegiant Series matrix
switcher/controllers, the LTC 8016 provides complete control of pan/tilt/zoom,
auxiliaries, and pre-position functions of Bilinx enabled AutoDome Series
cameras. In addition, complete programming of Dinion Series cameras and
AutoDomes via their on-screen menus is supported.
LTC 8508/01 Functions
Bilinx technology also supports camera-generated event reporting to the
Allegiant. This technology allows remote alarm inputs and motion event data to
be sent to the Allegiant without the need for additional wiring between the
camera site and the main control location.
The LTC 8016 is designed so that other Bi-Phase code generating products, like
Bosch Digital Videos Recorders, can be used with the unit for control of PTZ
functions and camera menu access over the video cable. This high level of
flexibility provides a low cost per channel solution whenever control and
configuration of remote cameras is needed.
With Bilinx technology, installation costs are reduced because no additional
data communication cabling to the camera site is required. Installation time is
also reduced; once the cameras and data cable to the LTC 8016 are connected, and
its group ID number is set, all other internal settings are configured
automatically.
Use of the LTC 8016 also reduces camera installation time because there is no
need to set AutoDome site addresses. At initial connection of an AutoDome camera
to the LTC 8016, its identification is automatically established.
The LTC 8016 is supplied in an enclosure compatible with mounting in an EIA 48
cm (19 in.) rack, requiring only a 1-unit rack height. To support large systems,
up to 31 units can be cascaded, comprising up to 496 Bilinx-compatible cameras.
The LTC 8016 can also be used to transmit Bilinx communications over a number of
video transmission systems. Example devices include fiber optic links and
external balun devices that use CAT5 twisted pair cables for video
communication.
