The Pyramid matrix switching system from CCTV manufacturer Baxall is now configurable via PC or laptop.
The Pyramid matrix switching system from CCTV manufacturer Baxall is now configurable via PC or laptop through a new serial adapter launched by the company. The PY2-INS installation tool is a serial adapter which allows connection of a standard PC or laptop computer to the Pyramid matrix. All devices operated through Pyramid can then be configured remotely, including titles, sequences, alarm configurations and other matrix functions. Where the network is not accessible remotely, all configurations can be done off site on a PC. Work on-site is then limited to using the download feature, so a visiting engineer can minimize the on-site engineering time, a benefit to installer and customer. The new Pyramid PY2-INS serial adapter is also a useful diagnostic tool, providing the engineer with information about the system, such as the software versions currently running. It also allows for new software upgrades to be sent over the network. The Pyramid PY2-INS installation tool operates on Windows 95 and 98 on a standard PC with RS232 serial port. It requires 16Mb of RAM and 10 Mb of hard disk. It is the latest addition to the Pyramid system.
