Notes

Electrical Safety

Installation and operation must be in accordance with national and local electric safety standards. Do not use any power supply other than the one originally supplied with this camera.

Polarity of power supply

The power supply output for this product is 12VDC with a maximum current supply of 2A. Polarity of the power supply plug is critical and is as follows.

Handling

Avoid any stress, vibration, or moisture during transportation, storage, installation and operation.

Do not lift or move the camera by grasping the camera head. Do not turn the camera head by hand. Doing so may result in mechanical damage.

Do not expose camera to any corrosive solid, liquid, or gas to avoid damage to the cover which is made of a plastic material.

Ensure that there are no obstacles in the tilt or pan ranges of the camera lens.

Quick Start

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

Page 2 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.

7	1080p25	F	-

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 default settings.

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.

Page

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.
