Connecting to the Camera System
Connecting To The RS-232 Port
The 3-CCD ANALOG Camera provides for RS-232 communications using the
DB-9 jack on the back of the camera, labeled RS-232. This RS-232 port can
be used to control the CameraMan Camera from external devices such as
a PC or other vendor control system (i.e.: AMX, Crestron). Connect to this
port using a standard computer cable with a DB-9 connector. When used
with a PVTV SHOT Director, this port operates at 19,200 Baud, No Parity and
software hand-shaking using a High Reliability protocol. Otherwise,
the port operates at 9600 Baud, No Parity, and software hand-shaking using
the High Reliability or Basic protocols.
Note: To verify which protocol is being used, check the PROTOCOL
switch on the configuration panel on the back lower-right of the
ANALOG Camera.
Tip: The COM light above the RS-232 port is used to indicate
communication activity.
Tip: For the DB-9 pinout port information, see the Appendix D: PIN-
OUT DIAGRAMS, page 18.
