Multi-Media Unit: Installation Instructions

5.4Connecting a PTZ Dome

To connect the Data In port of a PTZ dome (an RS-485 connector) to one of the ports on a Multi-Media unit (RS-232 connector), a 232/485 converter is needed. Configure a PTZ camera using Maintenance functions in Multi View software.

Multi supports pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) domes listed in table 13. A site supports only one type of PTZ software driver at a time. This usually means that only one type of PTZ hardware can be used at a site.

Communicate the address used by the PTZ to the Multi SA, after the installation.

5.4.1Converter: Technical Notes

A 232/485 converter interfaces a PTZ dome/controller to the Multi-Media unit. The converter amplifies PTZ control data for transmission over longer distances for a maximum of 1.2 km (or 4,000 feet).

Cabling

For the cabling to connect a PTZ dome to a converter and from the converter to the Multi-Media unit, see the converter’s documentation.
