trunk input to the requested master Allegiant monitor output. This completes the video 

connection from the requested slave camera to the desired master monitor.

Bosch Allegiant system extended with Satellite switches

You can apply the Satellite concept such that an Allegiant can be both a master and a slave. In 

this way, each Allegiant can view cameras from the others. It is only necessary to connect 

trunk lines and control lines in both directions, and to properly configure the Allegiant tables.

The concept can be further extended, with no practical limit, to multiple Allegiant systems. An 

Allegiant can have many slaves, and it can be a slave to many masters. You can program the 

Allegiant tables to allow or disallow user access to camera views as required by site policies.

This chapter provides background information on configuring a CCTV keyboard.

You can connect a CCTV keyboard to the COM port of a Bosch Video Management System 

workstation (scenario 1) or to a hardware decoder (e.g. VIP XD, scenario 2).

If you connect the keyboard to a Bosch Video Management System workstation, you can 

control the complete system. If you connect the keyboard to a decoder, you can only control 

the analog monitors of the system.

For connecting the CCTV keyboard with a Bosch Video Management System workstation, use 

the specified Bosch cable.

For connecting the CCTV keyboard with a VIP XD decoder, you need a cable which connects a 

serial COM port of the keyboard with the serial interface of the decoder. See 

Section 25.3.2 Connecting a CCTV keyboard to a decoder, page 163 for connections.
