UNPACKING Inspect the packaging for signs of damage. If damage has occurred, advise the carriers and/or the suppliers immediately. Unpack the units carefully and check that all the items are present and correct. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS All normal safety precautions as laid down by British Standards and the Health and Safety at Work Act (or the relevant National safety legislation if installing in a country outside the U.K.) should be observed, and servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
OVERVIEW The TX1500 is a video matrix and telemetry control system offering control of up to 96 cameras from 4 control positions. Eight monitor outputs are provided with monitors 1,2,3 & 4 having on screen display. BBV & VISTA up-the-coax and BBV 485 & VISTA 485 linked receivers and domes can be controlled when viewed on any monitor. Pelco and VCL up-the-coax control is limited to monitors 1-4. Site alarms and contacts are handled with alarm cards, each providing 16 inputs.

BBUS CONTROL BUS The TX1500 communicates with all keyboards, alarm cards and BBUS-IF interfaces via a polled 4 wire multidrop RS422 control bus named BBUS. All the units are equipped with standard RJ45 connectors allowing cat 5 patch cables to be used to connect over short distances. On the larger sites RJ45 break out boxes are used to link between cat 5 cables and good quality screen twin twisted pair data cable. Suitable types are the following Belden cables: 9842, 9829, 8162, 8132.

VIDEO INPUT CARD The Video Input Card is used to connect 16 camera inputs to the TX1500. Systems larger than 16 cameras will use multiple cards. A board mounted DIL switch is used to set the card’s camera number range. Each input has a corresponding looping output on the lower BNC connector. The camera inputs are passively terminated at 75Ω and auto de-terminate when a BNC plug is connected to the looping output. Up to 6 cards can be connected in a matrix to control up to 96 cameras.
MONITOR OUTPUT CARD This card provides the 8 monitor outputs, BBUS, RS485 telemetry and a relay output. Internal switches are used during specific BBV tests that should not require on site adjustment. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 MONITORS TELEMETRY B-BUS 12Vdc ALARM Monitor Output card Front Panel View PROG SW2 LINK PL1 LD5 LD4 LD6 PL2 LD2 01002 SW1 LD3 RS485 OUT L9 LD1 B-BUS Monitor Output card internal view LD1 STATUS – Front Panel indication of system and BBUS operation.

MATRIX DIAGNOSTICS The matrix STATUS led indicates system operation as follows: Flashing Dimly The matrix is powered with at least one keyboard connected. Use 58# to display the keyboard numbers that the matrix has detected on the BBUS. Mainly OFF, 1 second ON The matrix is powered with no keyboards connected. – If keyboards are connected then make sure that each keyboard address is unique between 0 – 3.
TX1500/AL16 - 16 ALARM INPUT CARD Each alarm card provides 16 individual normally closed volts free alarm inputs. The card communicates via the BBUS with the monitor output card. Power is supplied either via the BBUS interface when the alarm card is mounted in the TX1500 subrack or via an external 9Vdc supply when mounted remotely. NOTE: Only 1 alarm card can be powered from the BBUS port.
CONFIGURATION USING THE TX1500 MENUS NOTE only keyboard 1 can access the TX1500 system menu and only monitor 1 can display the menu. Out of the box the TX1500 is configured to control BBV coaxial telemetry on all cameras and all keyboards can control all the monitors and cameras. The TX1500 menu system allows the unit to be configured to your customer’s site requirements. To access the menu select monitor 1 by pressing ‘1’ ‘MON’ and use keyboard 1.
SYSTEM BASICS This example screen shows the settings for a site with 10 cameras, 2 keyboards and a single alarm card with 16 alarm inputs. System Basics Maximum Camera number: Specifies how many video inputs are connected to the matrix and prevents switching to non-existent cameras.
ACCESS TABLES One of the advanced features of the TX1500 system is the ability to prevent specific cameras from being displayed on specific monitors and to prevent specific keyboards from moving cameras. The Access Table screen is used to program which monitors each keyboard can control. A setting of ‘Y’ is used if the keyboard is allowed to control a monitor and ‘N’ to prevent control. This screen shows the settings for a site with two keyboards.
ALARM MENUS Alarm handling of the TX1500 is programmed from the Alarm Menu screens. Up to four actions can be carried out following each alarm activation. Eg four cameras could move to preset positions to triangulate onto an event. On selection of Alarm Menus the following screen is displayed This example shows a system with a single 16 input alarm card.
SEQUENCES Each of the 8 monitor outputs of the TX1500 can sequence between all or specific cameras. Each camera can be individually added or removed from each monitor sequence. For example, in a retail environment public store monitors are prevented from displaying sensitive areas of the store whilst monitors in the security office can sequence all cameras.
CAMERA TYPES These screens are used to set the type of telemetry for each camera and which monitors and keyboards are allowed to view and control each camera.

Menu Timeout: Number of seconds of inactivity before the menu is automatically exited. Use +/- to cycle through values. 15, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 200 or 250 seconds.
SYSTEM PARAMETERS 2 Used to program additional settings as follows: System Parameters 2 Bump Cameras Return to patrol Priority Keyboard off off off Startup Actions Monitors in sequence None Return Bump Cameras: Selects the keyboard(s) that will remove the current camera from other monitors when controlled manually. This is to prevent, for example, public display store monitors from displaying cameras that are following a suspect.
UP-THE-COAX RECEIVER SPECIFIC PROGRAMMING To program specific features of Rx100/200/300/400P/400DC up-the-coax receivers, the camera type must be set to BBV COAX. Press and hold the ‘#’ key and tap the PROGRAM key to display the options. The PROGRAM key must be enabled in the keyboard using SW1 switch 8 ON which is the factory default setting. 1 Program Preset 01-16 Enter 01 – 16 to program this preset position.
TX1500 USER GUIDE Monitor Number Monitor outputs 1,2,3 & 4 have an On Screen Display as shown on the left. Current Camera Number The Monitor number along with current Camera number is shown permanently. Keyboard Number driving camera Kbd is displayed whenever a keyboard is driving a camera. Mon 1 Cam 01 Kbd 1 Monitor outputs 5,6,7 & 8 are not equipped with On Screen Displays and are generally used as spot, park or public display monitors.
MOVING A CAMERA JOYSTICK The joystick is used to pan and tilt the camera and drive the zoom. Moving the joystick left and right will pan the camera and the joystick up and down will tilt the camera. Rotating the joystick knob clockwise will zoom the lens IN and the knob anti-clockwise will zoom the lens OUT. The joystick gives variable speed control lens moving rotating LENS KEYS These keys are used to zoom and focus the lens and alter the iris if that function has been provided.
GOTO PRESET POSITION Use the number keys followed by the PRESET key. Preset positions are only available on moving cameras that are equipped for presets. Most will accept presets 1 – 16 although the TX1500 supports preset positions up to 99. This should be checked with your installing company. PROGRAMMING A PRESET POSITION Press the PROGRAM key to turn the PROGRAM key LED ON. The unit is now in preset programming mode.
STARTING A PRESET PATROL Press either 1 or 2 followed by the PATROL key. The PATROL key LED will be ON whilst the current camera is running a preset patrol. To stop the camera from patrolling, move the joystick. The PATROL key LED will now be OFF. As with presets, patrols are only available on moving cameras that are equipped for presets. Certain dome cameras offer enhanced patrol features that will be covered in the product addendum sheet for each specific dome type.
TX1500/KBD - System Keyboard This keyboard provides control of the system and any cameras connected to the matrix. The keyboard communicates through an RJ45 connector using BBV TX1500 protocol at 9600 baud on an RS422 link. An internal 8 way DIP switch is used to set the keyboard address, RS422 termination and PROGRAM key enable/disable. Each keyboard must have a unique address between 1 and 4. Keyboards sharing the same address will not be recognised by the matrix and unpredictable operation will occur.

TX1500 control protocol via the TX1500/BBUS/I-F The ZP-TX1500 matrix can be controlled using a simple serial protocol with the use of a TX1500/BBUS/I-F interface. The protocol is described on the following pages. Baud settings: 9600,N,8,1. Timing is not critical.
