C-RM500
REMOTE CONTROLLER
The C-RM500 Remote Controller is designed for use in camera-
based systems that allow remote control from up to 1.2km away
over RS-485 communication lines. It allows video images to be
switched remotely and can handle a maximum of 16 TOA's
Combination Dome Cameras when used together with the TOA
Multiplexer. Easy-to-see LEDs inform status of control, alarm, focus
and other functions.
Control up to 16 TOA's Combination Dome Cameras
Realtime control as well as preprogrammed position retrieval of
up to 255 positions is provided. Each position allows providing a
specific title as well remote image quality adjustment.
Instant position recall
The most used camera and position numbers can be assigned to
function keys A through H for one-touch instant recall. Other
camera numbers and position numbers can be assigned to ID
numbers from 1 through 512 and easily retrieved using the ten-
key pad.
Controls Multiplexer
The C-RM500 can also control the TOA multiplexers and allows
switching video image display modes – single screen, single
screen in sequence, 4-screens in sequence, as well as 4, 9, 10
and 16-segment split screens.
Alarm capability
Alarm signals received by the alarm input of combination dome
cameras can be transmitted to the C-RM500 via a pair of RS-485
communication line where the C-RM500’s alarm operations can
be activated, based on the alarm signal type received. This has
reduced the number of signal lines that were conventionally
required in an expanded system. An Alarm Hold function allows
temporarily suspending automatic switching of video images
triggered by an alarm to enable the operator to prioritise the
screen currently being viewed. In addition, the C-RM500 can
receive alarm signals from an C-AL80 unit through the
RS-232C port.
2 Location Control
The system can be independently controlled in two separate
locations by installing 2 C-RM500 units.
