Settings for connecting with the remote cameras and switcher (continued)

Setting the connection types for remote cameras (serial/IP/no connection)

1. Set the connection types for camera numbers CAM1 to CAM100.

Open CTRL TYPE menu [36] and turn the F1 dial to display the camera number to set.

1.CAM1

NoAsign

2.Turn the F2 dial to select the connection type, and then press the F2 dial to confirm the setting.

Serial

: Serial connection

Network

: IP connection

NoAsign

: No connection (default setting)

zzThe TO PAN/TILT HEAD connectors [1] to [5] for serial connections correspond to each of the camera numbers CAM1 to CAM5.

The serial connection “Serial” setting cannot be selected for CAM6 to CAM100.

Note

zzWhen performing the steps described in “auto IP setting” (page 30), set the target camera number to “NoAsign”.

Setting the IP addresses automatically (auto IP setting)

When auto IP setting is executed, the settings for linking between the remote cameras and switcher connected within the same subnet as the unit are configured automatically.

The following explanations are split into configuring the settings for the first time (when the remote cameras and switcher are in the factory default state) and introducing additional remote cameras or a switcher into an environment in which IP connections are already in use.

When configuring the settings for the first time

<Overview of operation>

The link settings can be configured by executing “RENEW IP ADR” in AUTO IP menu [37].

With “RENEW IP ADR”, the unit first searches within the same subnet mask. Then, a link is set between each detected remote camera and a camera number for which the connection type is set to “NoAsign” on the unit.

At that time, the IP address of each remote camera is overwritten with the connection destination IP address value set for the corresponding camera number on the unit.

Likewise, when a new switcher is detected while the connection type for the switcher is set to “NoAsign” on the unit, the link setting is configured by overwriting the IP address of the detected switcher with the connection destination IP address value set on the unit.

Setting the connection type (IP/ no connection) for the switcher

1. Set the connection type for the switcher to be linked with the unit.

Open SW SETUP menu [41] and turn the F1 dial to open the “1. SW CTL” item.

1.SW CTL

NoAsign

2.Turn the F2 dial to select the connection type, and then press the F2 dial to confirm the setting.

Network

: IP connection

NoAsign

: No connection (default setting)

Note

zzWhen performing the steps described in “auto IP setting” (page 30), set the “1. SW CTL” item to “NoAsign”.

Example:

(1)IP addresses set for remote cameras A, B and C. Remote camera A : 192.168.000.010 Remote camera B : 192.168.000.010 Remote camera C : 192.168.000.010

(2)Connection types set on the unit (CTRL TYPE menu [36]) CAM1 : NoAsign

CAM2 : NoAsign

CAM3 : NoAsign

(3)Connection destination IP addresses set on the unit (MANUAL IP menu [39])

CAM1 : 192.168.000.010

CAM2 : 192.168.000.011

CAM3 : 192.168.000.012

When “RENEW IP ADR” is executed in this state, the IP addresses of remote cameras A to C are overwritten with the following values, and a link is set to each of the camera numbers CAM1 to CAM3, respectively.

Remote camera A : 192.168.000.010

Remote camera B : 192.168.000.011

Remote camera C : 192.168.000.012
