14.2 PTZ via DTC
Some PTZ cameras can send the PTZ signal through the coax cable. If you want to use this, you must have
your FastTrace 2 unit equipped with a DTC card. The DTC card is built in at the factory; you cannot order it
separately.
Open the PTZ window via System > Connections > Serial Ports / PTZ. Check if the DTC card is present.
The DTC card supports the following PTZ protocols:
 Down-the-Coax (Pelco Ext.)
 Down-the-Coax (Baxall Std.)
 Down-the-Coax (Baxall Alt.)
 Down-the-Coax (BBV coax)

USB to RS-232 converter
RS-232 is only used on some PTZ cameras
(such as the Philips G3 Autodome camera).
Limit the cable length to 50 ft (± 15 m). If more
than 50 ft (15 m), keep the cable capacitance
below 2500 pF.
