To connect the video cable
Connect the SDI outputs on cameras to the SDI IN 1 to 4 connectors on the
switcher.
• To output an SDI video signal from a BRC-series camera, installing the
interface board that enables output of a SDI signal in the camera is required.
For details, refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the camera.
• Installing the optional BRSA-20HSD1 HD/SD-SDI input board enables
connection of up to seven BRC-series cameras.
• When the switcher handles SDI signals, either an SD-SDI or HD-SDI signal
must be used. Both signals cannot be handled at the same time.
To connect the VISCA control cable
Connect the RS-422 or RS-232C connectors on BRC-series cameras controlled
by the switcher via the RS-422 or RS-232C connectors on the switcher. Up to
seven BRC-series cameras can be connected in daisy-chain connection. For
details on daisy-chain connection, refer to the Operating Instructions supplied
with the cameras.
To connect the camera to the switcher via the RS-422 connector on the switcher,
prepare the connecting cable using the RS-422 connector plugs supplied with
the switcher and camera.
For preparing the connecting cable, see the pin assignments of the VISCA RS-
422 connector (page 148) and “Wiring Example of VISCA RS-422 Connection”
(page 150).
For use of the VISCA RS-422 connector plug, see “To Use the VISCA RS-422
Connector Plug” on page 151.
To configure the cameras
Set the following setup items for all the connected BRC-series cameras to the
same values.
To connect the cameras to the AC power supply
After the cameras are connected to the switcher, connect the AC power adaptors
supplied with the cameras to AC outlets.
The cameras turn on, pan and tilt automatically, and move to the position stored
as camera position 1.
