Applications
If using more than one CameraMan 3e 3-CCD Cam-
era, the cameras need to be set up in a “daisy-
chain” network configuration by following these
steps:
1. Connect the cameras together by plugging the
Grass Valley T-connector into the RS-485 port
on the back of the camera.
2. Connect each camera using a 4-conductor
cable, with 4-position modular handset plugs
wired “straight-through”:
Pin 1... Pin 1
Pin 2... Pin 2
Pin 3... Pin 3
Pin 4... Pin 4
Note: Do NOT use a standard phone cable, as
these are wired differently and may cause damage.
3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch,
which is located on the back of the Camera, con-
figure each camera with a unique Base Unit
Address. (i.e.: Camera One would be set with
address 0, Camera Two would be set with
address 1, and so on)
4. In order to control each camera with your Cam-
era Control Keypad, the rotary switch inside the
keypad battery compartment must match the
lowest Base Unit Address in your system. For
example, if the Base Unit Address switches are
set according to the illustration on the next page,
the rotary switch inside the keypad should be set
to zero. The Camera control Keypad can control
up to three cameras.
CameraMan Clearance
The minimum dimension for the CameraMan is a
circular diameter of 26”. This accounts for both cam-
era and cable clearance. Check cable movement to
avoid binding and stress on the camera.
Tip: See clearance diagram on page 13.
