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.
