• Priority Access – Priority levels assigned to
keyboards and users allow higher priority users to
capture and lock out cameras (pan, tilt, lens and
auxiliary control) from lower priority users. The
system allows up to eight priority levels.

• Selectable Date/Time Display – The system’s
date can be programmed to display in the
following formats: MM/DD/YY, DD/MM/YY or
YY/MM/DD. Time is displayed in a 24-hour
format.

• System Salvos – A System Salvo is a group of
local cameras programmed for simultaneous call-

can program up to 64 system salvos with a
maximum of sixteen cameras in each Salvo.

• System Tours – A System Tour is a sequence of
cameras programmed from EASY CPU for an
individual monitor. System Tours cannot be
altered by keyboard commands and are therefore
more permanent in nature than Monitor Tours.
You can create up to 64 System Tours, each with
up to 64 cameras. You determine the dwell time,
Preset camera scene and auxiliary action for each

• Timed Events – An Event is a user-defined time
slot programmed for automatic call up of System
Tours and Alarm Contact Tables. You can
program up to 35 local Event Timers with each
set for call ups at a specific time of day, on any
days of the week and week after week.

• User-Assigned Camera Numbers – You can
assign user-defined pseudo camera numbers to
any camera input. Pseudo numbers identify
cameras by function or location, rather than by its
input number on the switcher. For example, you
could assign pseudo numbers 101 through 110
for cameras on the first floor of a multi-floor
building, 201 through 210 for second floor
cameras, 301 through 310 for third floor cameras,
and so on.

• Video Loss Detection – When equipped with the
optional Video Loss Detector module, the system
can detect the presence or loss of a video signal
for each local camera. You determine the sync or
video signal level at which a loss of video is
detected.

• Video Switcher Control – The MegaPower CPU
controls the video switching of all local and
remote cameras to all local monitors. Switching is
performed in response to operator keyboard
request or by automatic action via Tours, System
Salvos, Timed Events, or Alarm Response.

MegaPower 3200 video-matrix CCTV systems
can be linked into a satellite network. For more

Administrator Tasks
A system administrator is an individual assigned to
manage the MegaPower 3200 video-matrix CCTV
system. This person often participates in pre-
installation planning and should be familiar with the
system’s capabilities, equipment, camera inputs,
monitors, satellite locations, and programming.

system. This person often participates in pre-
installation planning and should be familiar with the
system’s capabilities, equipment, camera inputs,

The administrator prepares the system for operators
to use. This preparation includes the following:
• Configuring the system
• Creating operator IDs, scheduling operator shifts,

• Configuring the system
• Creating operator IDs, scheduling operator shifts,
and determining access levels
• Creating camera names and pseudo numbers

Operator Tasks
Operators perform the day-to-day task of video
surveillance using keyboards connected to the
MegaPower CPU. They select and control cameras,
create and run automated camera actions,
acknowledge alarm activities, adjust monitors, and
take appropriate action based on what is observed.
Operators can also perform limited programming
functions through their keyboards.
