Using Optional Cameras with the XT1000 Remote Control Unit
To control the optional camera with the XT1000 Remote Control Unit, you will need to connect a
VISCA Cross cable between the 2 cameras.
VISCA Control is a standard protocol to control PTZ Cameras. Through the VISCA interface, the
Codec Unit sends commands that change the camera capture resolution, PTZ properties and
more. For example, when changing the camera position using the XT1000 Remote Control Unit,
the IR signals are intercepted by the Codec Unit IR receiver and camera IR receiver and
transmitted to the camera through the VISCA interface.
You may buy a VISCA Cross cable from a third party or make you own cable if you’re planning to
position the optional camera far away from the Codec Unit.
When the Codec Unit is hidden and the Codec Unit IR receiver cannot work properly, the IR signal
coming from the XT1000 Remote Controller is received from the IR sensor of the main camera (not
the optional camera) and the commands are sent, as electrical signals, to the VISCA OUT
connector.
Note: You must connect a VISCA Cross cable between the main camera and the optional camera.
Note: RADVISION recommends connecting cameras of the same type to the Codec Unit. If you connect
different types of cameras as main and optional cameras, the similarity of functions is not ensured,
and RADVISION does not assume any responsibility for the malfunctioning.
