How to Select and Enable Coaxial Telemetry
The Digital Sprite 2 supports numerous coaxial telemetry protocols allowing
these cameras to be connected directly to the unit and controlled using their
native control protocol.
Simple selection of manufacturer/model within the configuration pages and
these cameras can be controlled. Common telemetry operations such as pan,
tilt, zoom, presets can be controlled via the Live page of the web interface or
via the Viewer software.
Any of the video inputs on the Digital sprite 2 can be configured for coaxial telemetry; this is
achieved in the Camera Set-up page.
1. Select Cameras -> Camera Set-up to configure the individual cameras.
2. The coaxial protocols currently supported on the Digital Sprite 2 are:
BBV (BBV-C)
Pelco (Pelco-C)
Dennard (Dennard-C)
3. Select Cameras -> Camera Inputs and select the telemetry protocol from the telemetry list
for the corresponding camera.
4. Remember to save the changes you have made by selecting Save Settings!
Once you have selected the telemetry protocol it is possible to; review the image from the video
input, test the control, configure the features of the camera that are required for you application
(such as presets), and access the dome/PTZ camera menus to configure the more enhanced
features supported on the dome, refer to the manufactures manual for the camera for these
features.
Note: Priorities are not allocated to the PTZ control; this works on the initial
connection and request having the control. Any subsequent connections will allow
viewing but no control until the initial connection is relinquished or after a set period
(5 seconds) where control commands have not been issued to the PTZ/dome
camera.
Function Description
Secondary Web
Server Port
If the default port setting for web serving has already been allocated it is
possible to configure a second port number.
Eg. If the secondary web port is set for 8000 because the default (80)
web port is blocked by the network or firewall. To obtain images from the
Digital Sprite 2 enter the IP address plus the secondary web port in the
address section of Internet Explorer or in the Viewer;
http://172.16.1.2:8000
(<IP address><:><secondary port number.>
