Using Keyboard Controller via Decoder
Dante AV decoder is equipped with an RS422 interface. Administrators can connect a keyboard controller to
the decoder’s RS422 port, and use standard Visca RS422 protocol, to control the subscribed camera through
the decoder.
RS422 (VISCA) Connection
You can use the RS422 port to connect optional controllers, such as a joystick keyboard and a PC control
station, to operate and control the connected camera.
To perform pan/tilt and zoom operations use the joystick of the keyboard. Use the keyboard buttons to perform
preset operations.
An application software that supports this unit is needed if using a PC station.
1. Set RS422 control method on camera Dip Switch
2. Set the same baud rate on the camera’s Dip Switch, the keyboard controller, and the Dante AV decoder.
3. Reboot the camera once after the Dip Switch has been set up properly.
4. Use the RJ45 to RS422 control cable to connect the decoder with the keyboard controller. The controller
must be VISCA compatible.
5. The connection of Sony keyboard is different than other VISCA (Non-Sony) keyboards.
