bridge between an existing Allegiant and the new digital based CCTV system (the

'satellite') that uses digital video encoders and decoders. With VASA, the new IP

technology is totally transparent to the existing Allegiant users who continue to use

their Intuikey CCTV keyboards for video switching and PTZ control on classic ana-

log monitors.

VA SA s up p or ts the Allegiant LTC 8100 through the LTC 8900 Series matrix switch-

ers. In addition to PTZ control, VASA provides auxiliary and preposition control of

the IP-based cameras. VASA improves the ROI on existing capital assets, removes

the need for training, and reduces the risk for adopting new technology by incre-

mentally adding to the system. The integration is seamless and the transition is

designed to be imperceptible.

Allegiant Satellite Software Development Kit

The Allegiant Satellite Software Development Kit (SDK) is a fully supported set of

libraries, documentation, and samples targeted at PC-based application software

that is used to control 3rd party CCTV matrix systems or manage IP-based digital

video networks. Since the SDK can be used to create customized solutions for

unique, specific problems, customers looking to integrate an Allegiant matrix system

with products offered by other manufacturers is readily accomplished. For the thou-

sands of existing Allegiant customers, it also provides a bridge to integrate or

expand their systems with IP based products gradually rather than a total and

instantaneous replacement.

When operating in an Allegiant satellite system configuration, an Allegiant master

generates switching and PTZ data that is typically used to control a remote Allegiant

satellite matrix. Using the SDK, the video switching commands and PTZ data from

the master system are converted into an ActiveX interface allowing developers to

easily translate this information into formats used to control other original equip-

ment manufacturer's (OEM) systems. The SDK also supports an ability to translate

repetitive type Allegiant PTZ commands to their indefinite equivalents, resulting in

reduced interface traffic and lower bandwidth demands when controlling IP based

networks.

The level of integration available with the SDK results in a robust interface that pro-

vides transparent operation to the existing Allegiant operators. Operators continue

to use their existing CCTV keyboards for selecting video and control of PTZ

devices on the Allegiant monitors. This type of solution improves the return of

investment on existing capital assets, removes the need for training, and reduces the

risk for adopting new technology by incrementally adding to the system.

The SDK is compatible with all models of the Allegiant Series switchers. In addition

to video switching commands and PTZ control, auxiliaries and prepositions are also

supported. The SDK is supplied with five sample applications. Three (3) applica-

tions use C++ to demonstrate incorporating the SDK in a console, an ATL, and an

MFC application. In addition, samples using Visual Basic

, and Microsoft's .NET

Framework are included.

6.22 LTC 8506/00 PC-to-Console Port RS-232 Cable

The LTC 8506/00 is an RS-232 grade cable with 9-pin D-connectors on each end

that is used to connect an Allegiant's system's console port to a standard PC COM

port. This cable is included in the Allegiant LTC 8059 MCS and the LTC 8850 Alle-

giant GUI packages. Length is approximately 3 m (10 ft).
