3 Introduction Overview The WJ-ASC960 is a software upgrade package for the WJ-MPU955A, and can be installed on top of the WJ- MPU955A CPU. Refer to WJ-MPU955A Operating Instructions.The WJ-ASC960 software creates a distributed IP- based network platform with one or more WJ-MPU955A CPU working together to form a large-scale security sys- tem. It also offers a single CPU, not only to handle GX encoder and decoder*1 device-based digital video opera- tions, but also SX matrix*2 device-based analog video operations. GX System is high quality video imaging systems offering complete management of medium and large-scale instal- lations. The WJ-ASC960 is capable of managing up to 64 CPU units. GX System is truly network-based systems, and all the devices in the system are connected through IP-based networks. *1 GX encoder and decoder: WJ-GXE900, WJ-GXD900 series (NTSC model only) *2 SX matrix : System850 or WJ-SX650 512 x 64 Full Matrix System Note:GX System is supported by NTSC model only. Purpose This document provides end users with product information about the following. • WJ-ASC960 software package • WJ-SX650 512 x 64 Full Matrix System and GX System Precaution We recommend that you refer all tasks related to the system installation to qualified service personnel or system installers. We recommend that you make a note of all your system settings and save them. This will help you if you are required to change the system configuration, or if an unexpected event or failure occurs. We encourage you to obtain and read all the related documents referenced on page 4, and become familiar with the CPU unit and other related devices and software. Cautions about the Network Environment GX System is IP network-based. Creating a reliable network is the key to a successful system. Please note that the encoder device sends a multicast stream (9.2 Mbps max. X 4 streams). Obtain confirmation from the network admin- istrator that this bandwidth usage will not cause a network failure. Note:MPEG2 Encoder (WJ-GXE900) and MPEG2 Decoder (WJ-GXD900) support the NTSC model only.

5 Terms and Definitions Video Switching Video switching is an operation that connects a video input port to a video output port within a video switch node. Because the switching occurs within the same node, the operation is certain to occur. Video Routing Video routing is an operation that connects a video source device with a video destination device across one or more video switch nodes. The video routing operation requires available video links to complete its task. Video Switch Node A video switch node is a device or a group of devices that are capable of performing a video switch from any of its video inputs to any of its video outputs. In the WJ-ASC960 based system, there are three types of video switch nodes: GX switch node, SX850 switch node, and SX650 switch node. GX switch node is formed with MPEG2 encoder devices and MPEG2 decoder devices. (NTSC model only) SX850 switch node is formed with WJ-SX850 matrix switch devices, matrix control devices, matrix OSD devices and matrix digital I/O devices. SX650 switch node is formed with WJ-SX650 matrix switch devices. Video Link A video link is a connection that can pass video from one video switch node to another. It can only transfer video in one specified direction. In a WJ-ASC960 based system, a video link can be found in the following locations: • From SX850 matrix switch device outputs to GX encoder inputs • From SX850 matrix switch device outputs of one switch node to SX850 matrix switch device inputs of another one • From GX decoder devices to SX850 matrix switch device inputs • From SX650 matrix switch device outputs to GX encoder inputs • From SX650 matrix switch device outputs of one switch node to SX650 matrix switch device inputs of another one • From GX decoder devices to SX650 matrix switch device inputs • From SX650 matrix switch device outputs to SX850 matrix switch device inputs • From SX850 matrix switch device outputs to SX650 matrix switch device outputs Video Path A video path is a connection between video source and video destination, which consists of one or more video links.

System Unit
System unit refers to a CPU device or a set of active and standby CPUs. The CPU is a computer that manages all
the system resources and system devices within a system domain. In a WJ-ASC960-based system, the CPU refers
to a WJ-MPU955A CPU.
System Unit
System Domain
A system domain is an entity that contains one system unit, up to 64 system controllers, only one GX switch node,
and only one SX850 or SX650 switch node. The domain is capable of performing system tasks as an independent
entity, or working with other domains to create a distributed network security system. In a WJ-ASC960 based sys-
tem, the system assigns its domain number equal to its unit number.
An SX650/SX850 switch node is always inside a system domain, while a GX switch node can be across more than
one domain, as shown in the following diagram.

8 Connect between System Components The WJ-MPU955A Operating Instructions describes the connection between the WJ-MPU955A CPU with system controllers, a CPU switch unit, digital video encoder devices, digital video decoder devices, and layer 3 network switch units. If you are not familiar with the above, we recommend that you read “Connect with System Devices” section of the WJ-MPU955A Operating Instructions first. This section will focus on new devices and connections that only associate with the WJ-ASC960 system. Global Data Network and System Domains The global data network is an IP-based network that connects two or more system domains together. The network is also called system data control network. The system domains use this network to pass system control and operation commands, as well as system data information, between domains. Global Data Network Diagram Global Network and System Domains As stated on page 6, the WJ-ASC960 system only has one GX switch node. The digital video network is an IP-based network, which is created to transmit digital video streams within a system domain or cross multiple system domains. It is part of the GX switch node, which consists of all the GX encoder and encoder devices. When designing a new system, we recommend that you separate the global data network and digital video network.

Video Link Network and Video Switch Nodes
The video link network consists of one or more video links, which connect one video switch node to another, and
passes analog video across different video switch nodes. The following diagrams show a sample of a video link net-
work in a WJ-ASC960 system.
Video Link Network Diagram
As shown in the above diagram, a video link has its own direction. You can find video links from digital decoder
devices to matrix video device inputs, from matrix video device outputs to digital encoder devices, and between one
matrix video device and another one. In the case of video links between two matrix video devices, these two matrix
video devices must be in different video switch nodes.

10 Global System Controllers Only Panasonic Ethernet type controllers (i.e. WV-CU950) can act as a global controller when global operators login. You can refer page 27 for creating global (system) operators. To get connection information for system controllers, please refer to WJ-MPU955A Operating Instructions. Global Database The system uses global database to setup multiple domains based system. The WJ-ASC960 system with version v4.2 and up should use WJ-ASC960 Admin Console V4.2 for both local database and global database setup. WJ-ASC960 Admin Console for Global Setup The administration tool WJ-ASC960 V4.2 is database management software for multiple domain based system setup. The software operates in the Microsoft Windows environment. If users are familiar with previous versions of Panasonic system, we used to have separated global administration tool software just for global database. With WJ- ASC960 V4.2 and up, the global administration tool software is not required for global database setup. The WJ-ASC960 Admin Console should connect to the system’s global data network. It should be able to reach each system domain’s CPU units.
