Cresnet®Network Control—Designed for use with the
2-Series control system, the C2N-CAMIDJ takes full
advantage of the steadfast Cresnet control network
to support up to 252 Crestron pan/tilt heads, camera
controllers, touchpanels, and other devices. When controlling
the C2N-CAMIDSPT pan/tilt head, network traffic is
minimized by storing user presets directly onboard the
pan/tilt head, minimizing the need for reporting position data
to the control system. Virtually any number of third-party
pan/tilt heads and cameras may also be controlled through
the control system using the C2N-CAMIDJ.
Ethernet connectivity can easily be attained through the
control system, enabling control over existing infrastructure
from any remote distance.

The C2N-CAMIDJ is a professional joystick controller
designed to provide a powerful yet simple user interface
for the remote operation of networked cameras and lenses.
Whether operating a single motorized camera in a council
chamber or house of worship, or controlling a campus-wide
network of multi-camera classrooms, the C2N-CAMIDJ can
be used alone or in combination with a touchpanel to
provide the perfect head end for camera control networks
of virtually any size.
Ideally designed to support Crestron's C2N-CAMIDSPT
Digital Servo Pan/Tilt Head, it is equally well equipped to
work with third-party pan/tilt heads and integrated PTZ
cameras as part of a complete Crestron control system.
Three-Axis Joystick—Precise camera positioning and
zoom lens adjustment are facilitated through an ergonomic
3-axis joystick with large grip and cushioned wrist rest.
Intuitive left/right and up/down movement of the joystick
delivers effortless pan and tilt control, with zoom in/out
capability instantly at hand through a simple twist of the
joystick handle. Integrated thumb trigger buttons on top
of the joystick afford immediate selection between high and
low speeds to ensure smooth and accurate positioning on
the fly.
Multipurpose Encoder Wheel—The C2N-CAMIDJ’s
encoder wheel provides for quick adjustment of lens focus
and aperture settings as well as pan, tilt, and zoom speeds.
The status for each parameter is displayed on a two-digit
LED display.
User-definable Buttons—Twelve (12) pushbuttons and
feedback LED's are included to facilitate camera selection,
preset recall, and other custom functions. Customizable
label strips are provided to easily designate the function of
each button using Crestron Engraver software.
