■[Comm] Settings for communication with other devices

It is necessary to adjust the communication speed and use the same communication protocol with external devices such as a controller when connecting those external devices to the DATA port or the SERIAL connector (RS232C).

It is also necessary to perform the settings for the network such as the IP address and the gateway address when operating this unit a PC via a network such as a LAN.

These are the descriptions of how to perform the required settings for communication with external devices.

•To prevent operation mistakes, set the unused camera channels to off.

It is possible to compensate for the video signal trans- mission loss from the camera when using the VIDEO IN connector 1 - 8. (cable compensation)

Perform the settings for the cable compensation according to the length of cable used.

S:When the length of cable used is shorter than 500 m

M:When the length of cable used is longer than 500 m and shorter than 900 m

L:When the length of cable used is longer than 900 m and shorter than 1 200 m

●[Camera Control] Settings for the communi- cation method and the cable compensation for camera control

Select a communication method for each camera channel to control cameras from the following.

Notes:

•Use 5C-2V cables for the cable compensation.

•Perform the settings for the cable compensation prop- erly according to the cable length. Otherwise camera pictures may not be displayed/recorded correctly.

System

COAX: Controls camera with the coaxial communication (CAM 1 - 8 CH are available for the WJ-HD316, CAM 1 - 6 CH are available for the WJ-HD309)

PSD: Controls camera with the PS·Data. (CAM 9 - 16 CH are available for the WJ-HD316, CAM 7 - 9 CH are available for the WJ-HD309)

RS485: Controls camera with the RS485 communication. (CAM 1 - 16 CH are available for the WJ-HD316, CAM 1 - 9 CH are available for the WJ-HD309)

OFF: Does not control camera (CAM 1 - 16 CH are avail- able)

Notes:

•Perform settings according to the cameras connected to this unit.

•CAM 9-16 control 4 cameras each (only for the WJ- HD316).

•When using the coaxial communication to control cam- eras, connect cameras to the VIDEO IN connectors 1 - 8 for the WJ-HD316 (1 - 6 for the WJ-HD309) (coaxial communication compatible). When controlling cameras connected to other VIDEO IN connectors with coaxial communication, use a coaxial communication unit (WJ- MP204). In this case, select "PSD" for the communica- tion method for the camera channels to be controlled through the coaxial communication unit.

8Unit Address (System)

A unit address (System) is a unique number assigning to PS·Data devices. The addresses must be unique to identify system devices when connecting multiple devices compati- ble with PS·Data. Numbers, "001"-"099", are to be assigned as the unit addresses to the system devices.

8Unit Address (Controller)

The unit address (controller) is used to control a PS·Data device connected to this unit. Numbers, "001" - "099" are to be assigned.

8Cascade

Select ON or OFF whether or not to use the cascade con- nection.

Set this to ON when connecting two or more units or in the cascade connection.
