Connecting To The RS-232 Port
The 3-CCD DIGITAL Camera provides for RS-232 communications using the
DB-9 jack on the back of the camera, labeled RS-232. This RS-232 port can
be used to control the CameraMan Camera from external devices such as
a PC or other vendor control system (i.e.: AMX, Crestron). Connect to this
port using a standard computer cable with a DB-9 connector. When used
with a PVTV DIGITAL SHOT Director, this port operates at 19,200 Baud, No
Parity and software hand-shaking using High Reliability protocol.
Otherwise, the port operates at 9600 Baud, No Parity, and software hand-
shaking using High Reliability or Basic protocols.
Note: To verify which protocol is being used, check the PROTOCOL
switch on the configuration panel on the back lower-right of the
DIGITAL Camera.
Tip: The COM light above the RS-232 port is used to indicate
communication activity.
