Setup instructions
This connection procedure uses an IP connection for explanation purposes. See the AWS-750 operation
manual for serial connection configuration procedures.
1. Connect the devices using the diagram on the previous page as a reference, then turn them on.
2. Start AWS-750.
See the AWS-750 operation manual for information on how to start AWS-750.
3. Change camera video signal to the video format you want to use.
AWS-750 SDI video signal input is compatible with 1080/59.94i and 50i.
4. Set the IP addresses for the remote cameras and remote controller.
See “Auto IP address setting from RM-IP500” (page 19) and “IP address setting from RM-IP Setup
Tool” (page 21) for information on procedures.
5. Select the setting icon on the top right of the sub screen, then select [Network].
6. Set the AWS-750 IP address to the same as the remote camera and remote controller.
Configuration example
[IPv4 Mode]: Manual
[IP Address]: 192.168.0.11
[Prefix Length]: /24
7. After adjusting settings, press [Apply].
8. From the sub screen setting icon, select Others >Remote Camera, then set the connection mode
to the remote camera.
From [Connection] on the screen, select [LAN].
Enter camera IP addresses in [VISCA1] to [VISCA7].
9. After settings are complete, press [Apply].
The camera is initialized.
10.
With the remote camera connected to AWS-750, select the camera video input from the [Input]
list at the top of the AWS-750 main screen and check the video.
11.
Select the sub screen setting icon then press [Video].
12.
Select the remote camera video input from [Input1] to [Input6], then configure the connector
and video format, etc.
13.
From [Remote Control], select the numbers of the remote cameras to control from [VISCA1] to
[VISCA7].
If the camera model name does not appear in the [Remote Control] pull-down list, restart the camera.
When using auto tracking
Turn [Tracking] on. See the AWS-750 operation manual for information on how to configure the
tracking function.
When steps 10 to 13 are complete, the [Camera] tab appears in the sub screen and remote cameras
can be controlled.
Precautions
Limit switching hub stacks to two levels. Further multi-level stack connections will result in longer
network delays.
We recommend connecting the remote camera and remote controller to the LAN2 connector on
AWS-750.
Do not connect more than one AWS-750, seven remote cameras, four remote controllers, and one PC
for configuration to the same network.
IPv6 cannot be used in AWS-750 settings when connected to remote cameras and remote controllers.
