DCN AUTOMATIC CAMERA CONTROL

11.3 OVERVIEW OF DCN AUTOMATIC CAMERA CONTROL

An overview of the procedure for using the DCN Automatic Camera Control software with a DCN system is given below.

Systems using DCN Control PC

The DCN Automatic Camera Control software is installed on the DCN con- trol PC. The control PC is connected to the CCU, which in turn is connected to delegates’ contribution units. The CCU is also connected to a single AutoDome camera or an Allegiant video switcher, which in turn is connected to the cameras and monitors in the system. After connecting the system, the DCN Automatic Camera Control software is used to configure the cameras. The con- trol PC remains connected to the CCU while the system is being used.

Stand-alone systems

In stand-alone systems, a temporary PC connection to the CCU and AutoDome camera or Allegiant video switcher is needed during camera installa- tion. The numbers assigned to the contribution units during DCN system ini- tialisation are coupled to camera positions. After configuration is complete, the PC is disconnected from the system, and a direct connection from the CCU to the AutoDome camera or the Allegiant video switcher is made. Operational camera control by the CCU is enabled during installation. To disable opera- tional camera control, it is necessary to re-connect the installation PC and open the Camera Installation file.

NOTE: For details on connections refer to the section DCN Camera Control of the Installation and Operating Manual.
