Connecting a Device Equipped with
VISCA RS-232C Connector
Connections with the VISCA RS-232C cables (cross
type) enable control of multiple cameras with a single
RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit.
You can connect the camera to a computer equipped
with the VISCA RS-232C connector instead of the
connection to the RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit.
Note
When using the VISCA RS-232C connectors, check that
the BOTTOM switch on the bottom of the camera
(page 14) and the DIP switch on the bottom of the
Remote Control Unit (page 18) are set to RS-232C.
Connecting a Device Equipped with
VISCA RS-422 Connector
Connection via the VISCA RS-422 connectors enables
control of multiple cameras. This 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.
Notes
When using the VISCA RS-422 connectors, check
that the BOTTOM switch on the bottom of the camera
(page 14) and the DIP switch on the bottom of the
Remote Control Unit (page 18) are set to RS-422.
When the connections using the VISCA RS-422
connectors are made, the VISCA RS-232C connection
is not available.
Do not make the VISCA RS-422 connection and the
VISCA RS-232C connection simultaneously. If both
cables are connected simultaneously, the camera may
malfunction.
