Panasonic WJSQ508

Panasonic's WJ-SQ508 is a programmable Sequential Switcher which can be used in a Panasonic system 300 or in a stand-alone system. Using multiple (up to 8) units in a master/slave configuration, the WJ-SQ508 8-position Sequential Switcher will support up to 64 cameras. It also provides remote control capability, when used with the optional WV-CU300 System Controller.

The WJ-SQ508 features two switching modes. In Mode 1, conventional sequential camera switching is performed, while in Mode 2, each individual camera's dwell time can be programmed between 0.5 and 30 seconds, using the on-screen programming feature.

The WJ-SQ508 also includes an adjustable fast scanning feature that can switch between 66.8 msec and 400.8 msec per camera to a video recorder during an alarm condition. This enables recording of pictures at a rate of nearly 13 cameras a second during an alarm situation.

The Switcher also features a conventional alarm mode, in which sequential switching is stopped and an individual camera is linked to the recorder and/or monitor. With on-screen programming, a built-in alphanumeric titler allows easy superimposition of a name or location for each camera to simplify camera site programming.

The versatile WJ-SQ508 can be the foundation of any growing surveillance system.
