CRT control. This time code will be multiplexed and allow full use of this
channel for audio . recording. All channels must meet .the published overall

specifICations.
4.29

Should master synchronization be lost, the time will be kept from an internal
crystal oscillator within each transport and automatically resyric to master time
when it resumes.

Why Modular?
So you can be sure the recording
system you select is right for your
particular application.
You order one of two different t
modular cabinets. Then you specify
the components that match your
individual requirements.
The Standard Cabinet is for small
to.medlum-siZe installations of up to
120 channels. It consists of 6
modules.
The Expanded Cabinet is for
larger installations up to 240 channels and consists of 8 modules.
The modules are built to hold the
following components.

High Density Recording
Because the system's modules are
stacked vertically, 240 channels of

space - cutting space requirements
in half for most large installations.

Unprecedented
Configuration Flexibility
AI/Important System Operations
Can Be Programmed To Your.
Needs. Your personnel can customize the system's operational
parameters. For example, they can
program the system to start and stop
recording at predetermined tiines any time of the day or night, any day
oftheweek..

The Master Controller CRT Monitor
with Its powerful microprocessor,
displays a series of easy-to-read
screens. They indicate everything
you need to know about the overall
system, as well as each deck independently (e.g" which decks are in
use, the mode of operation of each,
how much recording time is ieft
on each deck, if everything is functioning smoothly, etc.). Atthe same
time, you direct all record, playback
and search operations with state-ofthe-art, mUlti-f~nction controls.

The CRT indicates by deck which

Priorily. But you need the 120 channels that two decks can provide, and
are not ready to invest in another two
decks for 100"/0 redundant back-up.
You can achieve 50% redundancy by
ordering just one rilore deck and
configuring it to mo'nitor the other
two. If one failS, this deck wlll automatically take over.

Unprecedented
Expandability
As your organization changes and
grows, so will your recording needs.
That's why the Veritrac Series 9000
communications recording system
makes so much sense. It can be
upgraded and expanded quickly and
economically right on your premises,
Suppose you start with' just one
deck to handle 30 phone lines. If you
need to double the channel capacity
in a few years, it can easily be done.
Then, suppose you have to double
the channel capacity again. Good
news! The system is already pre.built for another deck with an
additional 50-channel capacity. So
today's investment will also be a
sound investment for the future.

System 20
service and providing correctional authorities
with the ability to monitor, detect and investigate illegal behavior.

Value-Added Communications developed
System "20" to provide correctional authori, ties with what they've always needed: a flexible inmate phone system that keeps inmates
in touch with relatives and friends, but discourages illicit calling activity. VAC understands the delicate balance between maintaining inmate morale with reliable phone

With these concepts in mind, VAC's engineers
put together the most flexible inmate phone
syste:m.availablet

FEATVRES

BENEFITS

• Modular Design

Regardless how large or small the ,facility is, .
System 20 can handle it. The system is modula:r; so it
can be tailored to fit the size of any facility economically.

VAC System 20 is fully automated, eliminating the
need for costly live operator call handling, ope.ator
abuse, traffic congestion, errors and fraud. System 20's
auto-collect voice prompts handle calls quickly and
efficiently.

• Fully Automated

...-:2.-

• Application-Specific
Software
~

No matter what type of monitoring and control requirements you may have, there is a System 20 software
package to meet your needs.

ITAC
ITAG, short for Irunate Telecommunications Access

Controller, is a PC-based software package
designed to provide the correctional a,uthorities
with a user-friendly tool to investigate inmate
calling activity as never before. It incorporates
the call accounting features of Telso1't and goes
one step further:

• Identifies numbers called by more than one
inmate. This can pinpoint illicit activity.

• Each inmate is assigned a PIN number and
given a limited dialing menu. This database of
numbers can be created automatically or manually at the option of the correctional authority.
• Each call by an inmate is validated against their
calling menu. This restricts inmates from calling numbers other than those already authorized. (No calls to the warden, witnesses, etc.)
• ITAG gives you the ability to designate numbers

to trigger an audible alarm. (Lets authorities
investigate suspected contacts on the outside.)
Alternatively, numbers can simply be blocked
... to one inmate 'or all inmates.

With its inherent flexibility and controi, !TAG is
a powerful tool for correctional authorities.
