Cameras in daisy chain

A single daisy chain can have up to seven cameras.

Cascaded cameras

The sockets named Extra Camera and Power In are used when connecting cameras in daisy chain.

•HDMI and HD-SDI. The HDMI and HD-SDI can be used simultaneously on the same camera.

•Power. The first camera in the chain is powered up from the codec by the VISCA camera control cable. Additional cameras must use the 12V DC Power in.

•Extra camera cable. The daisy chained cameras are connected by using the VISCA Extra Camera cable between the Extra Camera In and Codec Control In sockets

Example. Four daisy chained TANDBERG PrecisionHD 1080p cameras.
