  • Mounting the Camera
    • 1. Check the selected camera location to ensure that there is enough camera and cable clearance space (Figure 14) for the CameraMan to pan and tilt without obstruction.
      • Figure 14. Clearance Diagram
    • 2. Locate the zero-degree position mark labeled FRONT on the bottom of the base unit. This mark helps ensure that the base unit ...
    • 3. To ensure that the camera-mounting is not prone to vibrations, securely fasten the camera to a rigid flat surface using a 1/4...

      • Connecting to the RS-232 Port
    • Connecting Camera Control Devices
      • Camera Control Keypad (or Tracking System Keypad)
        • 1. Using the 25’ CameraMan Keypad Cable included with your camera, connect one end of the cable to the RJ-11 type jack located in the battery compartment (Figure 16) of the keypad.
          • Figure 16. Keypad Battery Compartment
        • 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-11 type jack on the camera control block, labeled PVI COM.
      • DIGITAL SHOT Director
        • 1. Using a standard RS-485 cable, connect one end of the cable to one of the RS-485 jacks (either one) on the back of the Shot Director.
          • Figure 17. Back of SHOT Director
        • 2. Connect the other end of the cable to:
    • Cable Restraint and System Power
      • Figure 18. Camera Cable Restraint
      • Cable Restraint
        • 1. Locate the cable restraint on the back left side of the camera.
        • 2. Insert cable(s) through the cable restraint from left to right.
        • 3. Tighten the restraint by pulling on the strap’s “free” end to prevent any cable from becoming dislodged. (The cable restraint is reusable and adjustable).
        • 4. Group the cables with all the other cables connected to the connector box and follow the instructions below to feed them through the lower cable restraint.
        • 1. Insert all cables (upper and lower) through the cable restraint from left to right. This will result in the cables being located approximately in the center of the camera, instead of near the edge.
        • 2. Tighten the restraint by pulling on the strap’s “free” end to prevent any cable from becoming dislodged.
      • Power Supply Connection
        • 1. Verify that the POWER switch, on the back of the camera, is turned OFF.
        • 2. Plug the 5.5mm power supply cord connector into the DC POWER jack on the back of the camera.
        • 3. Connect the other end of the power supply to a 120/240 V ac power source.
• Section 3
  • Switch Configuration
    • Figure 19. Configuration Switches
• Section 4
  • System Startup
    • 1. Just switch the Power button on the back of the CameraMan DIGITAL Camera to the ON position. The Camera should automatically enter its position calibration mode and then stop at the zero degree point.
    • 2. Verify that the camera is now facing in the direction the “FRONT” label was pointing during mounting.
    • 3. If you are using the Camera Control Keypad or DIGITAL SHOT Director, make sure its base unit address is the same as on the camera. If they are, verify that the camera’s PAN and TILT functions are working properly.
• Appendix A
  • Troubleshooting
    • 1. Verify that the SDI OUT connection is being used on the back of the camera shroud.
    • 2. Verify that the video output of the camera is connected to the appropriate video input on the switcher or CODEC.
    • 1. Verify that the cable being used is wired correctly.
    • 2. Verify that the PROTOCOL SELECT switch on the rear configuration panel is set properly.
    • 3. Verify that the BASE UNIT ADDRESS on the rear configuration panel is set properly.
    • 4. Does the COM light above the RS-232 port on the back of the camera blink when you send a command through this port? If no, change the cable and retry.
    • 5. Verify that the POWER LED, on the front of the camera, is illuminated. Also verify that the 12VDC indicator, on the rear of t...
• Appendix B
  • Multi-Camera Applications
    • 1. Connect 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:
    • 3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch located on the back of the Camera, configure each camera with a unique Base Unit Address; i.e. Camera One set with address 0, Camera Two set with address 1, and so on.
    • 4. To control each camera with your Camera Control Keypad, the rotary switch inside the keypad battery compartment must match the lowest Base Unit Address in your system.
