Quick Start

Step1. Please check that all connections are correct before powering on the camera.

Page 3 of 46

Rev 1.2 5/18

Step2. Set the system select switch for your desired video output resolution and frame rate.
For many applications, setting 0 (1080p-60) will provide the best overall performance.

For highest possible resolution, use setting 0 (1080p-60) or 6 (1080p-30), however your actual realized frame rate may

be limited to a lower value than 60 fps by your software and/or network connection.

NOTE: After changing this dial, you need to restart the camera to see the effect. Turn the camera off.

CAUTION: After changing the system (rotary) switch, you need to restart the camera to take effect.

Step3. Press the Switch ON button on the rear of the camera, the power lamp will illuminate.

Step4. The Pan-Tilt mechanism will rotate the lens to the maximum position of top right after the camera starts, then it will

return to the “center”. The process of initialization is now complete.

(Note: If the position preset 0 has been stored, the position preset 0 will be called up after initialization in lieu of “home”)

Step5. (Optional) If you want to restore the factory default settings, press [MENU] button to display the OSD menu. Select
the item [MENU] -> [RESTORE DEFAULT] -> [Restore].Set the value [Yes], press [HOME] button to restore the factory

Features

1. Supports simultaneous 3G-SDI, HDMI and IP network streaming for up to 1080P@60*.

2. Supports non-simultaneous CVBS (composite video) output via RCA connector (480i or 576i).

3. Includes Panasonic's high quality, 1/2.7 inch, 2.07 million effective pixels, HD CMOS sensor, which can produce a

maximum 1920 x 1080 image with a high quality, maximum output frame rate of 60 fps (frames per second).

4. Ultra-high frame rate 60fps for HDMI and SDI and up to 720@120fps for IP Streaming.

5. Supports IP streaming via RTSP and RTMP and using H.264, H.265and MJPEG.

6. Microphone & AAC Audio Stream Encoding for IP stream & HDMI – Use line-level microphone for line in input. Uses

AAC audio encoding for better sound quality and smaller bandwidth usage.

7. Includes a Tamron, high-quality, telephoto lens, supporting 30x optical zoom and optional 16x digital zoom with wide

angle 60.7 degree horizontal field of view in widest zoom setting.

8. The high SNR (signal to noise ratio) of the CMOS sensor (≥55dB), combined with 2D and 3D noise reduction algorithms,

effectively reduces noise, even under low illumination conditions.

9. Includes DRC (dynamic range control), allowing for greater image quality and detail across images that are both well-lit

and shadowed in the same frame.

10. Includes RS232 and RS485 interfaces for wired remote control. All of the parameters of the camera can be remotely

controlled by high-speed communications for joystick and central control system applications.

11. Includes web-based IP remote control interface.

12. Freeze - Allows freezing of video image on all outputs to allow for calling next preset without showing camera motion.

13. Power over Ethernet – Supports PoE 802.3af.

Using IR Remote Controller

When the camera is operational, you can use the remote
controller to perform panning, tilting, zooming and
focusing, as well as store and call back preset positions.
Button Instructions：

1. In these instructions, ‘press the button’ means to
press and release. A special note will be given if holding a
button down for more than one second is required.

2. When a button-combination is required, do it in
sequence (not simultaneously). For example, ‘[*] + [#] +
[F1]’means press [*] first and then press [#] and then
press [F1].

1. Pan/Tilt Control

Tilt up: Press [ ]
Tilt down: Press [ ]
Pan left: Press [ ]
Pan right: Press [ ]
Face the camera back to front: Press [HOME]

Press and hold the up/down/left/right buttons, to keep
panning or tilting from slow to fast, (until the camera
reaches the mechanical limit). The camera stops as soon
as the button is released.

2. Zoom Control

Zoom Out: press [+] button under FAST or SLOW
Zoom In: press [-] button under FAST or SLOW

Press and hold the button, to keep zooming in or out
(until the lens reaches the mechanical limit). The lens
stops as soon as the button is released.

3. Focus Control

AUTO: Change focus mode to AF, which allows the
camera to adjust the focus automatically on the center of
the image.
MANUAL: Change focus mode to MF, which allows the
user to adjust the focus manually (see FOCUS FAR &
FOCUSNEAR).
FOCUS FAR: Press [FAR] button(NOTE: Effective only
in MANUAL focus mode)
FOCUS NEAR: Press [NEAR] button(NOTE: Effective
only in MANUAL focus mode)

Press and hold the FOCUS [FAR] or FOCUS [NEAR]
button, allows for continuous adjustment, stopping as
soon as the button is released.

to recalibrate the Pan and Tilt limits.

5. Standby Control

Press [ ] button to put camera in ‘standby’ mode. In
standby mode the camera will provide no image, respond
to no commands and use less than half its normal power.
Press [ ] button again to put camera in normal mode.

6. Presets - Setting and Clearing

1. To store a preset position: The user should manually
setup the desired shot using the Pan Tilt and Zoom
controls. Press the [PRESET] button first and then press
the numeric button [0-9] to which you want to assign the
shot. Ten total preset positions (0-9) are available from
the IR remote control (255 available via RS232/RS485/IP
Interfaces).

2. To erase the memory content of a preset position: The
user should press the [RESET] button first and then press
the numeric button 0-9 associated with that preset.

Note:

Pressing [*]+[#]+[RESET]in sequence will erase all

presets in the memory.

Page 12 of 46

Rev 1.2 5/18

7. Recalling Presets

Pressing any of the numeric buttons [0-9] directly will
recall a stored preset position and settings.

Note:

No action will be executed if a specific numeric preset
position has not yet been saved.

Note:

Presets assigned via the IP interface do not correlate to
presets set via the IR remote control.

8. Camera Selection

Press the [1-4] button corresponding to the camera with
the IR address that you want to operate. This allows for
up to 4 cameras to be operated via the same IR remote in
the same room.

9. Camera IR Address Set

Press 3 buttons in the sequence shown below to

set/change the camera’s IR address. This allows up to 4

cameras to be controlled from the same IR remote control.
Be sure that only one camera is picking up the IR signal
when you perform this function. If multiple cameras
receive the command, they will all change to the new
address.

Address1: [*]+[＃]+[F1]
Address 2: [*]+[＃]+[F2]
Address 3: [*]+[＃]+[F3]
Address 4: [*]+[＃]+[F4]

10. Image Freeze

Press the [ ] button to freeze or unfreeze the video
image. This can be useful while recalling presets to hide
camera motion from your viewers.
