• Text In Image - The Digital Sprite 2 supports the ability to integrate text
information from third party application with the video recorded on the
Digital Sprite 2. Selecting this will allow the serial text device to
communicate with the Digital Sprite 2.
• Off - If the serial port is to be disabled.
Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop Bits, Flow Control
These settings are displayed for protocols that may require some
configuration.
These are the default settings of the selected serial device.
Refer to the relevant manufacturer manual for the peripheral serial device for
this information.
Telemetry Type
When the telemetry option is selected within ‘Port Usage’, the RS232 and
RS485 serial protocols supported on the Digital Sprite 2 will be displayed.
The Digital Sprite 2 supports numerous protocols for control of PTZ cameras,
Dome cameras and analogue control equipment. The supported analogue
control equipment protocols are:
Option Manufacturer
DM-Serial Dedicated Micros
Philips 232 Bosch / Philips
AD-Matrix American Dynamics
AD168-Matrix American Dynamics
BBV-Matrix BBV
VCL-Matrix VCL/Ademco
Serial & Telemetry Ports
This allows each serial port (Serial 1, 2, 3 (Bus A) and 4 (Bus B)) to be
configured for a specific function. The Digital Sprite 2 supports a number of
serial protocols, this menu allows the peripheral serial protocol to be selected.
Port
It is possible to configure all serial ports within this menu.
Use the or button to select the port for configuration, the ports are Serial
1, Serial 2 which support RS232 and Serial 3 (Bus A) and Serial 4 (Bus B)
which support RS232 and RS485.
Port Usage
This will define the functionality to be allocated to each of the serial ports, the
options available are:
• Debug - This is the default setting for COM 1 and allows communication
between a PC application (e.g. HyperTerminal
TM
) and the Digital Sprite 2.
• General Purpose - This would be selected in systems where custom
applications are used with the Digital Sprite 2.
• PPP (PPP Link 2) - If the unit is configured for PPP, this option must be
selected, this option is only available on Serial 1 and Serial 2.
• Telemetry (RS232 or RS485 depending on port) - There are various
telemetry serial protocols available, when this is selected the serial protocols
list will be displayed, refer to Telemetry Type.
