1. Product Overview

The PTC-150/PTC-150W HD/SD Video Camera is a PTZ camera that can be
mounted on a wall, ceiling, floor, or a tabletop, and includes an IR remote
control. The camera captures HD video at 1920 x 1080 resolution, and
features wide dynamic range with backlight compensation. The camera
features a motorized 30x optical zoom capability. The camera's image mirror
and image rotation functions allow you to electronically adjust the image and
deliver a correctly oriented image.

50 programmable presets including pan, tilt, and zoom positions, allow the
camera to quickly move between predetermined camera positions using the
remote.

For multi-camera shoots, the built-in tally light can identify when the camera
is active. The camera features a built-in IR cut filter in the image path for low
light shooting, and then returns for daytime shooting. Moreover, PTC­150/PTC-150W supports real time position report on a per frame basis; this
will be helpful to virtual studio application. The camera supports Sony VISCA
protocol for PTZ control using RS-422 interface over the unit's RJ-45 port.

8. Network Configuration

The DVIP Configuration Tool allows the user to configure network settings of
the PTC series cameras on the PC. The DVIP Configuration Tool can be

downloaded from the product page.

The PTC series cameras usually have a static IP address of 192.168.100.XXX.

The unit can be directly connected to a Windows-based computer using an RJ­45 Ethernet cable. The following setup procedure outlined below should allow
you to initially configure the unit before moving it to an existing DHCP / LAN
network.

Note: All devices should be connected to the same network domain.

1. First connect the DVIP port of the PTC-150/PTC-150W PTZ camera to a

Windows computer using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.

Note: You do not need to manually assign an IP address to the PC but
make sure the right interface card is selected at Step 11.

2. Install the DVIP Configuration Tool by double clicking the

executable file already downloaded to your computer.

3. Locate the DIP switch at the bottom of the PTC series camera.

4. Set DIP Switch positions 1 and 4 to ON.

5. Plug in the power cord into the PTC series camera and connect it to a

monitor via the HDMI interface.

6. Open the main menu by pressing the menu button on the IR remote

control and select option 4 “Remote Control.”

9. Connect your PC directly to the DVIP port on the PTC series camera or if in

a multiple DVIP device environment, connect all devices to an Ethernet
router. Please note that the router and the connected devices should be
in the same IP range.

10. On the PC, open the DVIP Configuration Tool by double

clicking “DVIP_Net_Conf.exe.” The DVIP Configuration Tool
can be obtained from Datavideo local distributors or
downloaded from the product page.

11. After the DVIP Configuration Tool is opened, select your network

interface card and click the “OK” button.
Note: Make sure you select the card that is on the same network as the
camera or else the DVIP Configuration Tool will not be able to find the
connected DVIP devices.

34

12. On the DVIP Device List, you will then be able to see the Device Name,

MAC address and IP address of the connected device.

13. After the network setting (Static or DHCP) and the host name are properly

configured, click the “Save” button to write the new information into the

device.

14. Right after the “Save” button is clicked, you will be able to see a prompt

message at the top right corner to request for a device reboot for the new
settings to become effective.

35

15. Reboot the device to apply the new settings.

In addition to configuring network settings of the connected DVIP devices, the
DVIP configuration tool also allows you to search for DVIP devices, clear the
device list, switch to other interface cards and change the interface language.
Each individual function is described below.

• Device Search

On the tool bar, the user can click the search icon to search for all DVIP
devices.

• Clearing Device List

On the tool bar, the user is allowed to clear the device list by clicking the
“Device List Clear” button.

36

• Switch to Other Network Interfaces

To select other network interface cards, click Network  Network Card

• Language Selection

On the tool bar, select a language: Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese or
English

9. RMC-180 PTZ Camera Control Unit

The RMC-180 PTZ Camera Controller is designed to control up to 4 Datavideo
Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) cameras such as the PTC-150/PTC-150W.

The four RJ-45 ports provided on the RMC-180 rear serve to connect PTZ
cameras, thus allowing the user to use any RJ-45 cable to connect the RMC­180 to the RS-422 port located on the PTZ camera’s rear panel. The
communication protocol is VISCA.

Note: Before connecting the camera to these channel ports, please set bit 4
of the camera DIP switch located at the bottom to OFF.

Direct Connection to Camera

To use the RMC-180 PTZ Camera Control Unit to directly control the PTC­150/PTC-150W camera, connect the RS-422 port on the camera’s rear panel
to the RJ-45 port of the RMC-180 using any RJ-45 cable. The RS-422 wiring
scheme is shown below.

10. Firmware Update

1) Copy three image files, p150mcpu.bin, P150FPGA.bin and p150mctl.bin,

into the root directory of a USB hard drive (<16 GB) and insert it into the
USB port of PTC-150/PTC-150W (You may also use USB extension cord).

2) Open the operation menu of IR remote controller (select from CAM 1-4;

default is CAM1)

3) Main Menu

=> 5: SYSYEM
=> 4: UPDATE SOFTWARE
=> 5: UPDATE ALL
=>YES
