Tip: If the camera does not move, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section of the Camera Control
Keypad, or PVTV SHOT Director manual.
If using more than one CameraMan 3-CCD ANALOG
Camera, the cameras need to be set up in a “daisy-
chain” network configuration by following these
steps:
1. Connect the cameras together by plugging the supplied
T-connector into the RS-485 port on the back of the camera.
2. Connect each camera using a 4-conductor cable, with 4-position
modular handset plugs wired "straight-through":
Pin 1 ...... Pin 1
Pin 2 ...... Pin 2
Pin 3 ...... Pin 3
Pin 4 ...... Pin 4
Note: Do NOT use a standard phone cable, as these are
wired differently and may cause damage.
3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch, which is located
on the back of the Camera, configure each camera with a unique
Base Unit Address. (i.e.: Camera One would be set with address 0,
Camera Two would be set with address 1, and so on)
4. In order to control each camera with your Camera Control Keypad,
the rotary switch inside the keypad battery compartment must
match the lowest Base Unit Address in your system. For example, if
the Base Unit Address switches are set according to the illustration
to the right, the rotary switch inside the keypad should be set
to zero. The Camera Control Keypad can control up to three
cameras.
Camera One
Camera Two
Connector T
Camera Three
