1 OVERVIEW

The ProBridge Gateway is a product specific Protocol translator that converts
RS485 messages of the DVMRe products to the RS422 messages needed for
the CyberDome. This allows systems to utilize PTZ control over the TCP/IP
connection with WaveReader in systems that use camera addressing based on
matrix switcher input numbers.

The ProBridge Gateway has the following two modes of op eratio n:

• The Programming mode

• The Operating mode

In the Programming mode the installer can set up the mapping between camera
inputs of the DVMRe products and CyberDomes. This allows for totally arbitrary
camera mapping, i.e. DVMRe 5, camera input 14 can be mapped to dome
address number 983.

In the Operating mode the ProBridge Gateway will translate messages to ensure
that telemetry messages originating from DVMRe products will correctly address
the intended dome.
