FIGURE 2.4 Back of Camera with RS-232 Port
The 3e 3-CCD Camera provides for RS-232 com-
munications using the DB-9 jack on the back of the
camera, labeled RS-232. This RS-232 port can be
used to control the CameraMan Camera from exter-
nal devices such as a PC or other vendor control
system (i.e.: AMX, Crestron). Connect to this port
using a standard computer cable with a DB-9 con-
nector. When used with a SHOT Director, this port
operates at 19,200 Baud, No Parity and software
hand-shaking using Grass Valley High Reliability
protocol. Otherwise, the port operates at 9600
Baud, No Parity, and software hand-shaking using
Grass Valley High Reliability or Basic protocols.
Note: To verify which protocol is being used, check
the PROTOCOL switch on the configuration panel
on the back lower-right of the Camera.
Tip: The COM light above the RS-232 port is used
to indicate communication activity.
Tip: For the DB-9 pinout port information, see the
Appendix D: PIN-OUT DIAGRAMS, page 39.
