5.5 PROGRAMMING
5.5.1 Preprogramming Information
Prior to programming the System 8500, it is highly rec-
ommended that the system programmer complete an
outline of the system configuration and its operators.
This information is not only very important when pro-
gramming the system initially, but can be critically
important in the event of a malfunction or other situa-
tion occurs. The following sections will help organize
the information needed to program the system. Once
completed and programmed into the system, store the
information in a safe location.
Blank copies of the following forms are also available
in Section 9, Programming Forms. Use these forms
when making additional copies, if desired.
5.5.1.1 Video Input Form
The Video Input Form is used to create a log of each
camera input, its type, the receiver type, etc. This in-
formation also is needed when setting the jumper posi-
tions for the individual camera inputs located on the
Buffer Board. Refer to Section 4.3.3.2 for additional
information when setting the jumper positions.
A brief description of the type of data to be entered is
given below:
INPUT This number is the input number as-
signed to a specific camera site and
corresponds to the video input num-
ber located on the rear of the card
cage. This also will be the camera
number displayed on the monitor.

era. When the camera is accessed,
this description will be displayed in
the top left corner of the monitor. A
maximum of 20 alphanumeric char-
acters can be entered in this field.

located at each specific camera site.
