Watchdog(R)

RGB Spectrum

Watchdog displays up to 15 video sources on a high resolution computerscreen and, optionally, records the signals on a single videotape. Thesystem can output to a dedicated monitor or share a monitor with acomputer to integrate video, graphics, and text on a single screen. Videoinputs appear in monochrome video windows. Each window can be positionedanywhere on the monitor, smoothly scaled from 1/64 to full screen, andlabeled with up to 64 alphanumeric characters for time, date, and sourceinformation. Watchdog allows a focus of attention impossible with abattery of separate monitors. There is no more twisting and turning ofthe head and no need for a large console of monitors. Its small footprintmeans that a Watchdog system can be replicated in multiple locations.Watchdog accepts up to 15 NTSC (RS-170) or PAL (CCIR) camera signals. Inaddition, it can be configured to accept infrared, radar and other non-broadcast standard video formats. Watchdog can accept asynchronous videosources; no genlock is required. Two video windows can be displayed inreal time at the full NTSC update rate. For additional inputs, the videois time-multiplexed, with a total available update rate of 60 frames persecond. The update rate of each signal can be set by the user, undercomputer control, or by an event trigger such as a motion detector. Inaddition, the OmniView(TM) option provides a multiplexed video output of upto 15 video signals on a single channel.
