Optical head – Optional

As a room camera, you can use an optical head. Compatible optical heads are the ZeusD100 and ZeusD30. For installation
information, please see the “Cabling Scheme” section.
For configuration information, please see the “Audio-Video Data” – “Cameras” – “Driver” section.

Camera Options

In addition to (or in place of) the optical head, you can use several external moveable cameras, either as room cameras or
auxiliary input cameras. You will need to:

•

Connect the camera to the desired input.
Connect a Visca (pin-to-pin) cable from the Codec’s “Ctrl Video 1” connector to the camera’s Visca input

Select as “Room” camera the correct driver from the drop-down menu.
Compatible cameras are:

CanonVC-C3
CanonVC-C4
Sony D30
Sony D100

For configuration information, please see the “Audio-Video Data” – “Cameras” – “Driver” section.

Cascading Camera Option

You can create a cascade of moveable cameras connected to the Codec:

1. Connect cameras to the desired video inputs
2. Connect a pin-to-pin Visca cable from the “CTRL Video1” output of the Codec to the Visca input of the first camera

3. Connect a crossed Visca cable from the Visca output of the first camera to the Visca input of the second camera
4. Repeat the previous step for all cameras, up to the maximum number of video inputs supported by the Codec

For configuration information, please see the “Audio-Video Data” – “Cameras” – “Driver” section.

For cascading cameras, the cascade must begin at input one.

For example:

Out video camera id.1->”V.Input1 Codec”,

Out video camera id.2->”V.Input2 Codec”,

For the “V.input1” – “V.Input6” inputs you can select only one driver, so all cascading moveable cameras must

be the same type (ex. all CanonVC-C3, or all Sony D30)

In the same page, enable camera movements by checking the “Move” option.
