Appendix A Satellite Systems
A satellite system configuration is usually used for a medium to large distributed
system, or to obtain extremely large matrix sizes configured more conventionally.
Typically, a single Main control site can be used to view/control cameras located
both locally and at various remote satellite sites. Since up to 256 satellite sites can
be linked to a single Main control site, very large, distributed systems can be
achieved. If the satellite systems are located at the same site as the Main system,
the result is a large conventional-type system.
In a satellite configuration, the Main control site can view/control any camera in the
entire system, but the remote satellite sites can only view/control cameras associ-
ated with their own site. Satellites may be configured to operate either indepen-
dently or, with no local viewing/control capability.
It is also possible to configure satellite systems where each site can view/control
cameras from anywhere in the system. For a two (2) site system, this is referred to
as a dual master configuration. In the same manner, triple and quadruple master
system configurations can also be configured. Cascaded satellite systems, where a
Main site has a satellite which is a master to another satellite is another available
scenario. In fact, it is possible to configure systems that include a mixture of any or
all of the above scenarios.
