Description générale

Caractéristiques

La manette de commande à trois axes optique permet de commander confortablement des opérations de panoramique/inclinaison/zoom.

Commande facile de divers réglages de la caméra

Les touches du pupitre vous permettent de commander facilement divers réglages de la caméra tels que mise au point automatique, réglage de la mise au point automatique One Push, réglage automatique de la balance des blancs One Push et compensation de contrejour.

Les interfaces de communication VISCA RS232C/RS-422 permettent des communications longue distance à haute vitesse.

Le pupitre permet de commander jusqu’à sept caméras connectées en guirlande.

Une borne d’entrée de témoin de signalisation/ sortie de contact (fiche de connexion à 9 broches) permet le raccordement d’un sélecteur vidéo.

Fonction de mémorisation pour la sauvegarde des paramètres de la caméra

Le pupitre vous permet de sauvegarder jusqu’à 16 combinaisons* de paramètres de la caméra comme positions de panoramique/inclinaison/zoom et d’autres valeurs de réglage de la caméra dans la mémoire de la caméra.

* Le nombre de positions pouvant être sauvegardées

dépend de la caméra connectée. (Pour la caméra vidéo couleur 3CCD BRC-300/300P, 6 positions peuvent être sauvegardées.)

Lieu d’utilisation ou de rangement

L’utilisation ou le rangement du pupitre dans les endroits suivants peut l’endommager :

• endroits extrêmement chauds ou froids (température de fonctionnement : 0 à +40

• endroits longuement exposés aux rayons directs du soleil ou proximité d’une source de chaleur (appareil de chauffage, par exemple)

• proximité d’une source de magnétisme puissant

• endroits proches de sources de rayonnement électromagnétique puissant (émetteurs de radio ou de télévision, par exemple)

• endroits soumis à de fortes vibrations ou chocs

°C [32 à 104 °F])

Aération

Pour prévenir toute surchauffe interne, n’entravez pas la circulation d’air autour du pupitre.

Tran sport

Pour transporter le pupitre, remballez-le dans son conditionnement d’origine ou dans des matériaux de qualité équivalente.

Nettoyage

• Utilisez un chiffon doux et sec pour nettoyer l’extérieur du pupitre. Éliminez les taches tenaces avec un chiffon doux légèrement imprégné d’une solution détergente, puis essuyez.

• N’utilisez pas de solvants volatils tels qu’alcool, benzène ou diluants car ils peuvent attaquer le fini du pupitre.

Caméras Sony VISCA pouvant être commandées

Le pupitre peut commander les caméras suivantes :

• BRC-300/300P 3CCD Color Video Camera

• BRC-H700/H700P HD 3CCD Color Video Camera

• EVI-D100/D100P Color Video Camera

• EVI-D70/D70P Color Video Camera

• EVI-D30/D30P Color Video Camera

• SNC-RZ30N/RZ30P Network Camera

Remarques

• Les fonctions utilisables se limitent à celles dont est dotée la caméra.
