MATRIX SWITCHER SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS Matrix Switcher System WJ-SX150 is a surveillance control system, which is composed of cameras, recorders, and this unit (the matrix switcher). This system has various functions for surveillance control. The following are the descriptions about the functions.
DATA 4 port supports both the terminal mode and Panasonic Security Data (PS·Data) Systems. These are the operation mode of the matrix switcher. When using the DATA 4 port, you can employ either of them. Refer to p. 14 for details of the terminal mode.
The illustration in the next page shows the surveillance system in a parking lot as an example. Before the connections, the matrix switcher's system configuration* and the recorder's alarm recording setting are necessary. Example: Operations of cameras and other connected equipment during an alarm input 1.

Up to 4 tour sequences can be registered in a group. Notes: • Up to 4 group sequences are configurable in WJ-SX150 Administrator Console. The configuration in the matrix switcher's SETUP MENU is unavailable.
*/? Notes: • Camera title is configurable in SETUP MENU and WJ- SX150 Administrator Console. • User font characters can be made through WJ-SX150 Administrator Console. Camera Cleaning When using a combination camera, noise can occur on the monitor after the long-term use.
Alarm Reset The built-in timer automatically resets the alarm operation after the time specified in WJ-SX150 Administrator Console. After the reset, the monitor displays and the sequence will return to the state before the alarm input. Note: When more than one alarm input has been accepted, only the newest can be reset.
