Connecting a Camera Equipped
with a VISCA RS-422 Connector
You can use the VISCA RS-422 connectors to connect
this unit to the camera instead of the VISCA RS-232C
connectors. Use of the VISCA RS-422 connectors
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 this unit.
For making the cable, refer to the pin assignments of the
VISCA RS-422 connector (page 18).
For the use of the RS-422 connector plugs, see page 19.
Notes
• When using the VISCA RS-422 connectors, check
that the DIP switch on the bottom of this unit (page 8)
is set to RS-422.
• When the connections using the VISCA RS-422
connectors are made, the VISCA RS-232C connection
is not available.
