Define a Video Switch Node
GX Switch Node
A GX switch node consists of one or more video decoder devices (WJ-GXD900) and video encoder devices (WJ-
GXE900). A GX switch node can be in a single system domain or across multiple system domains. Currently, the
system only supports one GX switch node, and the node ID is always set to zero by the system software.
GX Switch Node and its Domain
For each GX switch node, there can be many encoder and decoder devices. In the case of a single domain system,...

SX850 Switch Node and its Domain
For each SX850 switch node, there can be many matrix switch, matrix controller, and matrix OSD devices. In case of
a single domain system, such as the system on page 11, all the matrix controller devices will be assigned to that
domain.
In case of a multiple domain system, the system designer has to decide which domain the matrix controller devices
should belong to.

How to Identify a Video Switch Link
Links between an SX650/SX850 Node and a GX Node
In order to pass video from one switch node to another, video links are required. Page 11 gave an example of a sys-
tem with video links. In general, you can find video links in the following conditions:
•From a video decoder device to an SX650/SX850 matrix switch input
•From an SX650/SX850 matrix switch output to a video encoder device
The above video links can connect two video switch nodes within the same system...

The global operator is subject to unit partitioning restrictions, where within their domain, she/he will act like a local
super user.
Enter Global Operators in the WJ-ASC960 Admin Console (Global Database)
In the WJ-ASC960 Admin Console main screen, select Operators→Recordson the Componentsmenu. The
OPERATORSscreen will be activated. Then, enter the operator(s)information into the fields provided. For global
operator(s), you can select one of the four global class levels.

Upgrade MPU955A CPU to ASC960
To upgrade a standalone WJ-MPU955A system to a distributed WJ-ASC960 system, please refer to MPEG2
Encoder WJ-GXE900, MPEG2 Decoder WJ-GXD900 Operating Instructions. With this upgrade, you can create a
multiple domain system that forms a large scale system.

Main Features
System Operator Functions
Operator Log On and Off
Each system operator is assigned a user ID and password by a global system administrator. A user ID and pass-
word are required for any operators to log on to the system. System administrators can decide to automatically log
operators off if there is no activity for a pre-defined time period.  
Operator Priority
The global administrator can assign a priority to each operator. When two operators compete for system resources,
only the...

Global Video Camera Control and Operation
Global Camera Seize
Operators must seize a camera in order to perform camera operations. After Global Video Switch and Video Routing
(refer to page 26), you can seize a camera 200001, which means a camera in domain 2 with a camera ID of 1.
Camera Control
The system provides operators with camera control functions. The supported functions are: pan, tilt, zoom, focus,
and iris. 
Camera Operation
The system provides operators with the following camera...

•Disk selection menu
•A – B repeat playback menu
•Filter cancellation menu
Recorder Instant Playback Operation
The system provides operators with the instant playback operation for a seized global camera.
Global Tour Sequences
Local Monitor Seize
The system allows global operators to start and control a tour sequence from another system domain. Before tour
sequence operation, a local monitor must be seized. Here is the sample procedure to seize local monitor number 1
in domain...

Alarm Export to other Domains
Alarm Export Function
This function allows administrators to assign an alarm export to another system domain.
Assign Alarm Export in WJ-ASC960 Admin Console
In the WJ-ASC960 Admin main screen, select Components→Alarms→Records→Exporttab.From there, you can
add, delete, and edit an alarm to be exported to multiple system domains (units). The alarm ID has the following for-
mat:
Domain (Unit) id (2) + Alarm id (1).  E.g. 20001
In the above format, the domain ID has up to...

Check the video link direction in the “Routing
Configuration” screen of the global admin. Video links on
the decoder side should be the source node and matrix
side should be the destination side.
