DIGITAL SHOT Director
The optional DIGITAL SHOT Director multi-camera controller can be con-
nected in hard-wired mode only. Follow these directions to connect the
DIGITAL SHOT Director to the CameraMan.
1. Using a standard RS-485 cable, connect one end of the cable to one of
the RS-485 jacks (either one) on the back of the Shot Director.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to:
• The jack labeled RS-485 on the camera control block for single camera
applications, or
• The T-Connector for multiple-camera applications. Then use the pro-
vided 3’ CameraMan Communication Cable to connect the T-connector
to the camera’s RS-485 jack.
Note If using a Camera Control Keypad or DIGITAL SHOT Director, refer to the
respective operation manual. If it is unavailable, contact your local reseller or
Grass Valley.
Cable Restraint and System Power
Notice that, if left alone, the connected cables may impede camera move-
ment. To prevent this, the 3-CCD DIGITAL Camera comes equipped with
two cable restrainers—one on the left back and one on the camera control
block. See
Figure 18 . Follow the instructions below to properly restrain the
cables and power-up the camera.
