To connect the Remote Control Unit using the VISCA RS-422 connectors

You can use the VISCA RS-422 connectors to connect the RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit to the camera instead of the VISCA RS-232C connectors. Use of the VISCA RS-422 connectors allows the connection up to 1,200 m (3,937 feet) away.

Prepare the connecting cable using the RS-422 connector plugs that come with the camera and the Remote Control Unit.

For making the cable, refer to the pin assignments of the VISCA RS-422 connector (pages 70 and 71) and the wiring diagram of VISCA RS-422 connection

(page 72).

For the use of the RS-422 connector plugs, see page 73.
