Also note that any changes made in this menu will reset all the camera values and settings to their
defaults.
Press the right hand Menu Select button to move on to the next
Setup Menu.
This menu is used to assign a particular ID number to the selected
channel button. This can be useful where the cameras and interface
boxes are already rigged with the interface box ID’s already set. If the
operator wants to change the order in which the cameras appear on
his channel buttons then this can be done by simply re-assigning the
ID’s for each channel button.
It is also possible using the left hand function adjust buttons to change from ‘Normal’ ID’s to Multi-Camera
‘ ID’s. This allows up to 96 different ID addresses to be used when controlling more than just the six
available from this RCP. An add-on keypad unit can be connected to provide switching for up to 96
cameras.
The next Setup Menu allows adjustment of the Audio Data output level.
The default setting of 4 provides a 1volt pk to pk signal which will work
in most setups. For long distances or cases where six cameras are
paralleled onto the output a higher level may be required for reliable
data control.
The right hand buttons set the output data baud rate. Note that both
these settings are the same for all channels.
A 9600 baud setting can be used to provide an RS422 output instead of using the Audio data output.
The next Setup Menu has two adjustments. The left hand buttons
select between ‘Enabled’ or ‘Disabled’ for the camera timing. This is
set independently for each channel. If a camera has genlock available
then this will be set to ‘Enabled’ by default. However, in some
situations if two RCP’s can be controlling the same camera it may be
necessary to disable the timing on one RCP prevent having to make
the timing settings identical in each control panel.
The PTZF setting can be either ‘Connected’ or ‘Not in use’. When sending data from the RCP via a PTZF
joystick (for controlling a camera on a remote pan and tilt head), gaps must be left in the data stream to
allow the PTZF data to be added into the stream. This can slow down the data rate from the RCP
unnecessarily if the data is going directly to the cameras. If the data is not going to a Joystick panel then
set this to ‘Not in use’ to speed up data transfer.
