Grass Valley 3e Student CameraMan Rev.B - Manual (Page 9)

Now that you’ve connected the Programmable Response Module to your CameraMan and microphones, you can begin configuring
the system. First, remove the configuration plate on the front of the PRM. Behind it, you’ll find the switches. On the back of the
configuration plate, you’ll find a diagram of the switches.
Location Preset Configuration
Your Student Camera System is capable of storing and recalling 99 location preset. The included
Camera Control Keypad is used to store a pan and tilt position, focus, zoom perspective, and
IMAGE control for each location preset. The microphones and keypad are used to recall them.
Camera Preset #
Preset Type Recalled By
• 1-31 normal press-to-talk button
• 32 normal/audio only (see p.7) press-to-talk button
• 33 normal/option (see p.7) press-to-talk button
• 72 default all other student mics deactivated
• 34-71 and 73-99 set by user keypad location preset buttons
Configuring the PRM
The PRM POWER switch should be turned OFF before changing any switches.
PRM ADDRESS:
This switch is used to set the address at which the PRM will reside on the RS-485 bus. This should
be set to an address that is unique to all devices (cameras, PRMs, etc.) in the system. By default,
this is set to “C”.
BASE UNIT ADDRESS:
This switch tells the PRM which camera it controls. Set this switch to correspond with the BASE
UNIT ADDRESS switch on the back of the CameraMan Student Camera (i.e.: If the camera’s BASE
UNIT ADDRESS is set to 0, set the PRM’s BASE UNIT ADDRESS switch to 0)
SET/ NO RETURN (DIP Switch 1):
• DOWN (and all microphone inputs are inactive)– The camera will return to a default preset
(preset # 72), which is usually set to be a wide shot of the room.
• UP (and all microphone inputs are inactive)– The camera will remain positioned at the last
active input.
RETURN TIME/ SETTING (DIP Switches 2,3):
• Switches 2 and 3 only apply if Switch 1 is set to DOWN. They select the time delay associated
with the camera returning to the default preset after the last active microphone is released.
• Use this chart to set the switches accordingly:
Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch 3 Time Delay
DOWN DOWN DOWN No Delay
DOWN UP DOWN 5 Second
DOWN DOWN UP 10 Second
DOWN UP UP 15 Second
