VideoBloXisa flexible, Plug&Play, position independent, modular matrix switcher for use in video surveillance and monitoring systems.An entire
system is consist of a mix of the following modules:
•Matrix chassis
which are supplied complete with a built in power supply unit. These chassis are available in industry standard 2U, 4U, 8U,12Uand
16Urackmountable enclosures.
•VideoBloXCPU module
which containsahigh speed embedded microprocessor and the required support circuitry for the control of the entire system.
It has dual CPU&PSU capability.
•Videoinputmodule
which provides protection and signal conditioning for 16 video inputs. The units are available either as direct input modules or
matrix input modules.
•Video output module
which offers 8 or 16 video outputs for monitoring.
The entire system is based on a modular approach allowing for great flexibility on configuring video control systems to suit a wide variety of applications.
Each system will contain at least one VideoBloXchassis. It is possible to interconnect more than one chassis either at the same location or at different
locations with suitable data and video interlinks between them. The form of interlink could be hardwired, fibre optics, radio, microwave or other.
All signal lines which run to the field are protected against limited overvoltages. Local supply voltages are monitored and the module will be reset if the
supply falls below the minimum threshold. Watchdog timers monitor the operation &reset the local CPU circuits if a malfunction is detected.

Scalable Matrix Switcher
VideoBloXis designed for maximum expandability. User can create systems with
up to 4080inputs and 256 outputs by interconnectingmultple racks. 32-way
twisted ribbon cables allow for simple, high density interconnections.
VideoBloX Chassis (HVB2U/4UX/8UX/12UX/16UX)
VideoBloXis housed in an industry standard 19"rack mountable chassis. Various
chassis heights are available to allow for different sized systems. The number of
modules which maybe fitted is shown in the following table:

VideoBloXmodules are mounted from the front of the chassis. The modules are
fitted horizontally to allow for vertical system expansion.All modules (except the
power supply module) are position independent. Modules are "hotswappable"and
maybe removed and reinserted with the power on. The power supply module is
fitted vertically beside the other modules.
CPU Modules (HVBCPUX/HVBNETCPU/HV BARB/
HVBLITEX)
A VideoBloXsystem is controlled from a single master CPU module (HVBCPUX).
For an expanded system, with multiple chassis, it is possible to interconnect the
chassis and have a single CPU module control the entire system. All system
configuration is carried outby means of a PC running Windows 95/98/NT/
2000, which connects to the CPU module. Once configuration is complete, the PC
may optionally be detached or used as a system activity logger.All configuration
information is stored in non-volatile memory and is retained during a power loss of
at least one month.
It is possible to install multiple CPU modules into a single rack. Should this bea
requirement then an additional CPU arbitration module (HV BARB) must be
installed. The arbitration module re-routes the major CPU communications
channels to the configuration PC and the field. Ifa CPU failure is detected by the
arbitration module, the system can automatically switch over to the backup CPU.
VideoBloX Lite (HVBLITEX) matrix switchers provide a powerful series of solutions
for medium scale CCTV systems from 16 video inputs into eight monitor outputs
up to 96camera inputs into eight monitor outputs. Should the system outgrow the
96x8 capacity of VideoBloX Lite the integration into a larger VideoBloXsystem is
straightforward, saving engineering time and ensuring that no control equipment
is left redundant. VideoBloX Lite is actually a smaller scale version of VideoBloX;
nevertheless it possesses just as much power.

SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
DATA PORT EXPANDER/REPEATER (HVB422C4/FT8/FT16)
HVS videorangeof Data Repeaters make expanding a system easy without sacrificing
reliability or equipment response time. The RS422 data repeater regenerates/
combines multipleRS422 lines into a single RS422 line. This gives operators the
ability to implement larger systems using cables that exceed the typical 4000 foot (1200
meter) RS422 specification. With the Data Repeater, systems can exceed the specified
32 devices. Cascading the units allows users to implement very large systems.
The8-channel (HVB422FT8) and 16-channel (HVB422FT16) fault tolerant versions
provide the following additional features:
•Automatically detect certain types of fault conditions on the receive data, indicate the
fault condition and prevent these lines from interfering with the remainder of the system.
•High capacity power supply. Each channel is individually protected with a resettable
fuse.
Honeywell Video System(HVS) offers the technology fora truly integrated system.
