AMERICAN DYNAMICS SPEEDDOME ULTRA 8 PROGRAMMABLE DOME CAMERA

SpeedDome Ultra 8 (35x series)

The 35x series offers the highest performance with 540TVL, 35x optical zoom, WDR, day/night, DSS and EIS. The day/night and DSS features allow you to clearly see images in scenes as dim as 0.00041 lux. EIS reduces the vibration so the image can be viewed properly. This feature is especially useful when the dome is installed in places that subject it to shaking or moving, such as a pole next to a highway. These features combine to make the SpeedDome Ultra 8 series an ideal solution for outdoor applications requiring high resolution images whether up close, far away or for indoor applications requiring the best picture possible, such as in casinos or retail establishments.

SpeedDome Ultra 8 (22x series)

The 22x series delivers excellent color images in scenes as dim as .02 lux. Zoom ability consists of 22x optical and 11x digital zoom for 242x total zoom. Like the 35x series, the 22x offers advanced programmable features including DSS, automatic home position, dome usage statistics, privacy zones, advanced on-screen text, and freeze frame on presets to conserve digital recorder hard drive space. This series is well-suited for indoor applications requiring clarity, color and detail in well lit or low light conditions.

Superior Video Images

SpeedDome Ultra 8 features powerful zoom capabilities with either 420x total zoom (35x optical zoom with 12x digital magnifier) or 242x total zoom (22x optical zoom with 11x digital magnifier).

The 35x series includes some of the industry’s most powerful features including the innovative WDR capability which compensates for very bright and dark conditions within the same scene without losing image clarity. For low light applications, a removable infrared (IR) cut filter provides effective viewing in lighting conditions as low as .00041 lux in black and white mode.

The 35x series also includes the innovative EIS feature which reduces the effect vibration has so an image can be viewed properly. This feature is especially useful when the dome is installed in places that subject it to shaking or moving, such as a pole next to a highway.

Both the 22x and 35x series allow you to further compensate for low lighting conditions using DSS technology that allows the CCD imager to accumulate more light. Additional image adjustments include automatic gain control (AGC) and white balance.

Advanced Control and Positioning

SpeedDome Ultra 8 supports up to 96 preset positions2 with user-defined titles and 16 preset sequences with a 10 minute dwell time for the ultimate in viewing flexibility. Sixteen patterns are supported and a preprogrammed default spiral pan pattern (“apple peel”) covers the entire viewing area. Each pattern, which can be up to 10 minutes long, can store up to 99 PTZ commands. Using the Freeze Frame feature before moving to a preset minimizes hard drive usage when video is digitally recorded.

Alarms can be processed internally by the dome, externally by the controller or by both the dome and the controller. Each of the dome’s alarm inputs can automatically call a preset or run a pattern when the alarm is activated.

To ensure key areas of a facility are continually monitored, an inactive or unattended dome can be configured to return to “home position” after it performs a pre-defined preset, sequence or pattern. When the dome tilts to its lower limits, an innovative automatic proportional flip feature automatically turns the dome 180°. Alternatively, you can manually flip the dome from the keyboard.

To protect sensitive areas, you can program up to 8 privacy zones of different sizes. These privacy zones automatically change size proportionally when zooming in or out.

Zoom adjusted programming (ZAP) automatically adjusts pan and tilt speeds in proportion to zoom position, even at maximum magnification.

In addition to SensorNet, Manchester, AD-UTC, NTCIP, SensorNet, and RS-422 protocols, the dome can be controlled via other select manufacturers’ protocols3 such as Pelco® P and Coaxitron, Panasonic® UTC and Vicon® RS-422, making it a perfect choice for customers wanting to replace older PTZs.

Powerful On-Screen Display

SpeedDome Ultra 8 generates helpful on-screen text including dome, preset, pattern, alarm and area names as well as direction indicators. These indicators show the direction the dome is currently pointing and the direction in which it is moving. For example, you can assign up to sixteen areas of various sizes to identify boundaries within different areas. In addition, the direction indicators display the dome’s azimuth (degree of tilt).

On-screen text also indicates zoom, focus and iris status. All information is user-definable and can be turned on or off. When on, you can set the text to appear solid or translucent white, and with or without black outline which makes it easy to ensure the text is always visible, but doesn’t block important parts of the image.

On-screen text supports six languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.

Powerful Configuration and Maintenance

A convenient DirectSet feature provides fast access to all of your most frequently used dome features when used with a suitably equipped controller4. To ensure the integrity of your security settings, password protection prevents unauthorized use of the on-screen menus.

The following daisy chain configurations of control wiring are supported:

• RS-422: 10 domes over a maximum distance of 1 km (3000 ft) on two 22 AWG shielded twisted pairs (STP)
• For SensorNet: 32 devices over a maximum distance of 1 km (3000 ft) on one 22 AWG UTP
• For Manchester: 3 domes over a maximum distance of 1500 m (5000 ft) on one 18 AWG STP
• For AD-UTC: Maximum distance per dome is 700 m (2300 ft) on 20 AWG RG59U cable. (Note-This distance is for AD-UTC data only. See cable manufacturer’s specifications for video capabilities).

Sensing of 50/60 Hz lines is automatic and does not require manual adjustment. The fully isolated power supply helps eliminate ground loops. Surge protection is provided for video, code, alarms and power connections.
