Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain a general display system capable of displaying also video information obtained from a monitoring camera or the like in addition to character information such as a vehicle state and the number of beds in each hospital to be required for a firehouse and flexibly corresponding to the expansion or the like of the scale of each firehouse. SOLUTION: Fire-fighting information read out from a fire-fighting information storing part 9 for storing fire-fighting information such as the application of a vehicle and a video signal obtained from a monitoring camera 1 are switched by a switching part 3 and selected data are displayed out a plasma display panel(PDP) 4 to be a display device. The PDP 4 can be constituted of a multi-screen arranging plural PDPs, e.g. four PDPs 4a to 4d, in the vertical and horizontal directions when necessary. In this case, video signals outputted from four monitoring cameras 1a to 1d can be simultaneously displayed. In addition, an image from an optional monitoring camera can be displayed on an optional PDP by switching the I/O of video signals outputted from the cameras 1a to 1d by a matrix switcher 2.

The LAN interface 5 receives the switching signal and drives the light-reception switching controller 8 to switch the switches 3a and 3a.
Controls b, 3c, and 3d to switch fire information / video signal. It is also possible to provide the light reception switching control unit 8 with a circuit for giving priority to the control from the display control unit to give priority to the switching control from the command board. In addition, the display of the fire-fighting information is performed by using the information stored in the fire-fighting information storage unit 9 as four-screen display data by the display drive unit 7, and the display information transmitted from the command board is also superimposed and displayed.

In response to a camera switching command from the command board, the control section 11 of the command board 14 follows the procedure of the camera switch control section 12b from the LAN interface 10 of the command board to the LA.
The same switching signal is transmitted to the display control unit 6 via the N line L1. The display controller 6 receives the switching signal from the LAN interface 5 and controls the matrix switcher 2 to switch the video signals output from the surveillance cameras 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d to the designated PDPs 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d and display them. .

LAN line L1 according to the scale of the fire department
By connecting another display device (not shown) to, the vehicle operation, the number of hospital beds, the weather condition, the CCTV camera and the like can be simultaneously displayed on different display devices. In this case, the control unit 11 of the command board 14 displays each display device from the LAN interface 10 of the designated board via the LAN line L1 according to the procedure of the display device switching control unit 12c according to the display device switching command from the command board. The same switching signal is transmitted to the control unit 6 and the like to set the display content to be displayed on each display device.

The control unit 11 of the command board 14 reads the initialization display information from the storage unit 13 according to the procedure of the initialization display control unit 12d in response to the initialization display control command from the command board, and the LAN interface 10 of the command board. To the display control unit 6 and the like of each display device via the LAN line L1 and set so that the display state is optimal in an emergency. Further, the control unit 11 follows the procedure of the initial information setting control unit 12e in accordance with the initial information setting command from the command unit 14 and stores the initialization information input from the command unit in the storage unit 13.
To memorize.
