INPUT #32 OPERATION (DIP Switch 4):
This switch is used to determine the operation mode of input 32.
NORMAL The input will operate as a normal input, identical to inputs 1-31.
AUDIO The input will operate in an audio-only mode, which causes no camera
movement when the microphone is active. In audio-only mode, an active input will
not cause the VIDEO RELAY to be activated.
The audio-only mode is intended for use by someone who wishes to be heard,
but does not want to cause the camera to position on them, such as a room
facilitator.
INPUT #33 OPERATION (DIP Switches 5,6):
Switch 5 is used to determine the operation mode of input 33.
NORMAL The input will operate as a normal input, identical to inputs 1-31.
OPTION Then the operation is dependent upon the setting of Dip Switch 6.
Switch 6 settings
UP The input will operate in an audio-only mode, which causes no camera
movement when the microphone is active. When in audio-only mode, an active input
will not cause the VIDEO RELAY to be activated.
DOWN The input will operate as a Master Override input. When this input is active,
the camera will be positioned to a Master Override position (preset 33) and all other
microphones will be LOCKED out from controlling the camera. Once this input is
released, control is returned to all microphones and they are serviced as usual. In this
case, the video relay will remain open.
BAUD RATE SETTING (DIP Switch 7):
This switch determines the communication baud rate: UP = 19,200; DOWN = 9,600
19,200 must be used if a CameraMan SHOT Director is connected to
the system.
PORT SETTING (DIP Switch 8):
This switch determines which communication port is connected to the camera:
UP = RS-232B (DTE); DOWN = RS-485.
In most applications, you will use RS-485.
RESET BUTTON:
The reset button is supplied for troubleshooting purposes. When this button is pressed, the
RS-485 light will flash twice, indicating the PRM has been reset. This will not clear any of the
camera presets that are stored in the camera.
