Switch Configuration
Now that CameraMan is connected to the power supply and control devices, the DIGITAL Camera must
be configured to work in the desired application. To begin, remove the configuration plate on the back
right side of the camera by removing the two screws holding it in place. Behind it are the configuration
switches. From left to right, they are:
Switch Bank B
Dip Switch 1 (Protocol)
Select the communication protocol which will be used by the
RS-232 and RS-485 ports on the camera. The High Reliability
protocol includes some advanced error checking that is not
performed in the Basic protocol. (factory default: DOWN)
Dip Switch 4 (RF Command)
When this switch is DOWN, the camera responds to commands
sent from an RF Keypad. When it is UP, the RF receiver in the
camera is disabled and the camera cannot receive commands
directly from a wireless keypad. (factory default: DOWN)
When using multiple cameras networked on the
RS-485 bus, only one camera should have its RF
receiver enabled. Set switch 4 on the other cameras
to UP.
Dip Switch 5 (Preset Save)
Use this switch to determine how the preset settings will be
recalled. DOWN recalls your Manual Gain, Iris, and Focus
settings. UP recalls only the Auto settings for presets and
autoTRACK Views. (factory default: DOWN)
Dip Switch 8 (Interlink)
Use this feature in multi-camera applications. When it is
DOWN, all commands will be passed onto the RS-485
communication bus to the appropriate camera. For a single-
camera application, the setting of this switch does not matter.
(factory default: DOWN).
Switch Bank A
Dip Switch 7 (Baud Rate)
This switch is used to
configure the camera’s Baud
Rate for the RS-232 and
RS-485 ports. Switch UP for
19,200 and DOWN for 9600.
(factory default: UP)
Dip Switch 8 (Memory)
For the majority of
applications, this switch
should be set to UNLOCK
(UP). When DOWN, all
programmed features are
locked and cannot be
overridden. (factory default:
UP)
Central Control Switches
Base Unit Address
Use the 16-position rotary switch
labeled BASE UNIT ADDRESS to
set the unique identification number
for this CameraMan. If using the
optional Keypad, DIGITAL SHOT
Director, or another control system,
refer to the documentation provided
with those accessories for proper
configuration.
For setting up a camera
network, see page 15,
Appendix B: MULTIPLE
CAMERA APPLICATIONS.
Example: Switch
in the down
position
All switches not discussed on this page should remain in the DOWN or OFF position.
