The LTC 8500 Series Allegiant video switcher/control systems combine both switching and computer technology to provide powerful performance and unique system features for the security user. Offering full matrix switching capability, these systems can be programmed to display the video from any camera on any monitor, either manually or via independent automatic switching sequences. These systems can be programmed with up to 60 sequences which can be run independently of each other in either a forward or reverse direction. Any of the sequences can utilize the SalvoSwitching capability where any number of system monitors may be selected to switch as a group. Using the optional LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software package or LTC 8850/00 GUI Graphical User, sequences can be made to activate and deactivate automatically based upon the time of day and the day of week.
