Solution

1.

Verify that the SDI OUT connection is being used on the back of the
camera shroud.

2.

Verify that the video output of the camera is connected to the
appropriate video input on the switcher or CODEC.

Problem

No communications through the RS-232 port.

Solution

Verify that the cable being used is wired correctly.

2.

Verify that the PROTOCOL SELECT switch on the rear configuration
panel is set properly.

3.

Verify that the BASE UNIT ADDRESS on the rear configuration panel
is set properly.

4.

Does the COM light above the RS-232 port on the back of the camera
blink when you send a command through this port? If no, change the
cable and retry.

5.

Verify that the POWER LED, on the front of the camera, is illuminated.
Also verify that the 12VDC indicator, on the rear of the camera block, is
illuminated. If the POWER LED is not lit, check the POWER switch to

to the camera properly. If the 12VDC LED on the rear of the camera
block is not illuminated, verify that the I/F Remote SCSI cable is
connected properly.
