Honeywell’s Central Processing Unit Module is the main processor for the
VideoBloX crosspoint matrix switch, and contains the operating program and the
system database in non-volatile memory that can retain critical data for up to
one month without power. It is an embedded controller designed specifically for
purpose of video and audio switching in a security environment and can
initialize within seconds of power being applied.
Designed for security surveillance, the CPU module contains many features to
ensure its reliability and availability. Watchdog timer and supply voltage
monitoring ensures immediate restart in brown out conditions and the optional
Arbitration Module supports dual CPU operation with automatic switchover.
Installed in the matrix chassis, it occupies only a single 1/2U slot, which is
smaller, more secure and more efficient than PC based switchers. Manufactured
from stainless steel, the faceplate and rear termination panel provide a
sophisticated look and improved grounding to reduce static problems.
The CPU is both powerful and versatile – powerful enough to switch up to
4,080 video/audio inputs to 256 video/audio outputs and versatile enough to
provide complex switching and control in response to events, whether alarm
initiated, scheduled or manually operated.
Installation and diagnostics are made easy by the availability of a CPU Video
Port, which displays real-time information on any available monitor. Such
readily available information assists the technician when troubleshooting system
configuration problems. Features
