A Quick Look at the Camera

The 12x and 30x models are similar. The 12x model is the camera on the left in the photo.

Front of the Camera

n Camera and Zoom Lens: The 12 and 30 models use different optical components.

12 model: 12x optical zoom in Super-Wide mode, 10x optical zoom in normal mode. Recommended for small to medium sized conference rooms.

30 model: 30x optical zoom lens; best suited to larger rooms.

n IR Sensors: Sensors in the front of the camera base receive signals from the remote. Make sure

there's nothing directly in front of the camera base, and point the remote at the camera.

n Status indicator: The multicolored LED indicates the camera's current state.

Blue: Normal operation (blinks off momentarily when the camera receives a command from the remote)

Purple: In standby mode or booting

Yellow: Firmware update in progress

Red: On-air tally

n Really Cool Logo Badge (RCLB): Attractive and shiny, with a sophisticated brushed-metal finish.

Page 17

Complete Manual for RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 Robotic PTZ Cameras

Back of the Camera

Rear panel connections are identical for the RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 cameras.

n Network RJ-45 connector: Connect to the network for control via the web interface or Telnet session. n HD Video Select switch: Select the HD video output resolution. n Camera Settings DIP switches: Set camera behaviors such as IR remote frequency, baud rate and

image flip. See Camera Settings for more information.

n RS-232 connector: Connect to the RS-232 port (if any)on the Quick-Connect device to allow an

external device to manage the camera using a modified VISCA protocol. See RS-232 Serial

Communication for RS-232 settings.

n EZPower Video: supplies power to the camera and delivers HD video back to the Quick-Connect

interface using high speed differential signaling over Cat-5e cable. Connect to the EZPower Video port on the Quick-Connect device. (Color-coded orange or yellow, depending on the device.)

n 36 VDC FOR CCU ONLY: Power from the Quick-Connect Universal CCU. Do not use this port

except when connecting to a Quick-Connect Universal CCU.

Note

Alabel on the bottom of the camera lists the rotary and DIP switch settings.

Page 18

Complete Manual for RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 Robotic PTZ Cameras

Camera Switch Settings

RoboSHOT cameras use DIP switches to set camera behaviors, and a rotary switch to set the video resolution. A label on the bottom of the camera provides a quick reference for setting the switches.

Set the switches appropriately before mounting the camera.

After the camera is installed, you can read the switches from the camera's web interface.

Note

When the camera is not inverted, DIP switches are in their default positions when they are up.

DIP Switches:Camera Behavior Settings

Use the DIP switches to set camera behaviors.

(RoboSHOT 30 shown; Switch 5 is Super Wide Mode if the camera is a RoboSHOT 12.) IR1, IR2, IR3 (Frequency Selection): If there are multiple cameras in the room, use switches 1 and 2 to

configure each with a different IR frequency to allow the IR Remote Commander to control them independently. Then use the Camera Select buttons at the top of the remote to select the camera you want to control.

n SW1 and SW2 up: IR frequency 1 n SW1 down, SW2 up: IR frequency 2 n SW1 up, SW2 down: IR frequency 3

IR Out: Leave switch 3 UP if the IR remote will be used. If the system will be controlled from another device, set the switch DOWN. This turns off the IR sensors in the front of the camera, so that all control is via the RS-232 connection.

Image Flip: If mounting the camera upside-down, set switch 4 DOWN: IMAGE FLIP ON. Super Wide Mode (RoboSHOT 12 only): To use Super-wide mode, set switch 5 DOWN. This gives

12X zoom with a 73º horizontal angle of view. Normal mode provides 10X zoom with a 67.2º horizontal field of view (HFOV).

Baud Rate:Set switch 6 to the baud rate of the device connected to the RS-232 port. The default is 9600 bps. Use the 38,400 bps setting only if the control device does not have a 9600 bps setting.

For RoboSHOT 30, Switch 5 is not used. Switches 7 and 8 are not currently used on either RoboSHOT 12 or RoboSHOT 30.

Page 19

Complete Manual for RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 Robotic PTZ Cameras

Video Resolution

Set the desired output resolution for the camera with the rotary switch. Switch positions D through F are not used.

Note

The Quick-Connect Universal CCU supports frame rates of 50 fps and above. Switch selections 9 through C are valid for the camera but not supported on the QCCU.

Note

The Quick-Connect USB Mini supports only 720p/60, 720p/59.94, and 720p/50. Other resolution settings are valid for the camera but not supported on the QMini.

Web Interface

The camera's web interface allows control via a network connection, using a browser. Password-protected pages provide administrative access to tasks such as setting passwords, changing the IP address, viewing diagnostics, and installing firmware updates. The user login (or guest access, if it is enabled)provides access to camera controls similar to those available from the IR remote.

You will need to know the camera's IP address to use its web interface. If the network has a DHCP server, the camera will get its IP address, gateway and routing information automatically and you will be able to browse to it. If not, you will need to configure the camera to use a static IP address.

For cameras powered by a Quick-Connect USB or Quick-Connect USB Mini: These devices have network connectivity and web interfaces. In an network that does not automatically assign IP addresses, you will need to configure the camera with a different IP address to prevent IP address conflicts.

Getting the Camera's IP Address

You will need to be able to view the camera's video output.

1. Press the Data Screen button on the remote. The display presents the camera's IP address and MAC address.

2. Press the Data Screen button again to dismiss the information.

If the address is 169.254.1.1, the camera is using its default IP address. This usually means one of these things:

n The network automatically assigns IP addresses, but the camera is not connected to the network. n The network does not automatically assign IP addresses, and you need to configure the camera for the

network. See Configuring the Camera with a Static IP Address.

Accessing the Web Interface

Enter the IP address or hostname in your browser's address bar. You may need to enter http:// or https:// as a prefix to keep the browser from treating it as a search query. (Example:http://10.30.200.125)

Working with the Quick-Connect Device's Web Interface

Quick-Connect USB and Quick-Connect USB Mini devices have their own web interfaces. Other QuickConnect devices have no network connectivity, so they do not have web interfaces and do not need to be configured for your environment.

In addition to the administrative control pages, the Quick-Connect USB and Quick-Connect USB Mini web interfaces provide minimal camera controls, which are normally used with older cameras. For full camera functionality, use the IR Remote Commander or the camera's web interface.

Because the web interfaces for the Quick-Connect USB and Quick-Connect USB Mini are very similar, in many cases only the Quick-Connect USB web interface is shown in this manual.

During initial set-up and configuration, you may find it convenient to access the web interfaces for the camera and the Quick-Connect USB or Quick-Connect USB Mini on separate browser tabs.

Getting the Quick-Connect Device's IP Address

To access the web interface of the Quick-Connect USB or Quick-Connect USB Mini device, you will need to know its IP address.

n The Quick-Connect USB device displays its IP address on its front panel. n The Quick-Connect USB Mini device's IP address is 169.254.1.1, and is not configurable.

Note

If a RoboSHOT camera is used with a Quick-Connect USB or Quick-Connect USB Mini device in a nonDHCP environment, the camera and the Quick-Connect device will default to the same IP address. You will need to configure the camera with a different IP address before connecting it to the network.

Quick-Connect USB Mini: Video Mode vs. Control Mode

When you try to access the web interface for the Quick-Connect USB Mini, your browser may present an error message.

The Quick-Connect USB Mini has two operating modes:

n Video mode – The Quick-Connect USB Mini passes camera control and video signals. The web

interface is not available.

n Control mode – The web interface for the Quick-Connect USB Mini is available. The device does not

pass control or video signals.

Press the Mode button to switch between video mode and control mode.

Accessing the Web Interface for the Quick-Connect USB or Quick-Connect USB Mini

1. Quick-Connect USB Mini only:If video is currently available on the connected display, press the Mode button on the Quick-Connect USB Mini.

2. Access the Quick-Connect device's web interface the same way you access the camera's web interface: Enter the IP address or hostname in your browser's address bar.

3. Select Admin to log in. The default admin password is password.

4. Quick-Connect USB Mini only:After you have finished working with the web interface, press the Mode button again to return to video mode.

The Quick-Connect USB and Quick-Connect USB Mini web interfaces open to the Camera Controls page. From this page, you can log in as admin to manage the device.

As admin, you have access to administrative and configuration pages similar to those available in the camera's web interface, plus a few controls for the camera. The camera controls were designed to be used with older cameras that lacked web interfaces. When using a Quick-Connect device with a RoboSHOT camera, Vaddio recommends using the Quick-Connect device's web interface only for managing the Quick-Connect device itself.

Configuring the Camera with a Static IP Address

NETWORKING PAGE

Caution

Consult your IT department before editing network settings. Errors in network configuration can make the camera inaccessible from the network. Do not change DHCP/Static addressing, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway unless you are very familiar with the characteristics and configuration of the network where you install the camera.

By default, the camera is set to DHCP and you do not need to configure it with a static IP address. However, if no DHCP server is available to automatically assign an address, the camera will use the default IP address of 169.254.1.1. If this is the case, you may need to follow this procedure.

The Quick-Connect USB is also set to DHCP by default. If no DHCP server is available to automatically assign an address, the Quick-Connect USB uses the same default IP address as the camera: 169.254.1.1.

The Quick-Connect USB Mini uses the IP address 169.254.1.1, and cannot be configured with a different IP address.

If you install more than one camera on a network that does not automatically assign IP addresses (a nonDHCP network), follow this procedure to prevent IP address conflicts.

If you answer YES to any of these questions, you will need to follow this procedure.

n Installing two or more cameras on a non-DHCP network: configure each camera with a static IP

address before connecting it to the network.

n Installing the camera with a Quick-Connect USB or Quick-Connect USB Mini on a non-DHCP

network: configure the camera with a static IP address before connecting it to the network.

n Installing more than one camera and Quick-Connect USB on a non-DHCP network: configure each

camera and each Quick-Connect USB device with a static IP address before connecting it to the

network.

n Installing a camera on a non-DHCP network where there is already a camera with a Quick-

Connect USB Mini device...

With a Universal CCU: Configure the camera with a static IP address before connecting it to the network.

With a Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI-SR: Configure the camera with a static IP address before connecting it to the network.

With a Quick-Connect SR: Configure the camera with a static IP address before connecting it to the network.

With a Quick-Connect USB Mini: Configure the camera with a static IP address before connecting it to the network.

With a Quick-Connect USB: Configure the camera and the Quick-Connect USB with static IP addresses before connecting them to the network.

Note

Do not install more than one Quick-Connect USB Mini device on the network. This device is not intended for use in environments that use more than one camera.

Note

If the camera is currently at an IP address other than 169.254.1.1, skip this section unless you are instructed to configure the camera with a static IP address.

Page 50

Complete Manual for RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 Robotic PTZ Cameras

To access the camera's Networking page during installation (skip this procedure if the camera has already been in service on this network):

1. Connect the camera to the Quick-Connect device according to the appropriate connection diagram, but

do not connect the camera to the network.

2. Connect the network port on the camera to the network port on a computer. Depending on the computer, you may need a crossover cable.

3. On the computer, open a browser and access the camera's web interface at http://169.254.1.1.

4. Log in as admin. The default password is password.

5. Navigate to the Networking page.

Page 51

Complete Manual for RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 Robotic PTZ Cameras

To configure the camera with a static IP address:

1. Work with your IT department to determine the correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway to assign.

If you are connecting a camera with a Quick-Connect USB device, get the same information for both. The camera and the Quick-Connect device must have different IP addresses.

2. On the Networking page, set IP Address to Static.

3. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway as directed by the IT staffer; then save your work.

The camera is now ready to be connected to the network.

Note

Vaddio's RoboSHOT series cameras all have very similar web interfaces. Some of the screen shots in this manual may be from other models in the RoboSHOT series.

Setting the Custom Home Position and Other Preset Shots

CAMERA PAGE

The camera's default home position is 0° pan and 0° tilt; you can set a different home position. You can also define other presets, for shots that you will want to use repeatedly. Presets may include

lighting and color settings and may specify Tri-Synchronous Motion or global preset speed settings.

Note

Storing a preset overwrites any information that was previously associated with that preset. The Store Preset dialog does not show which presets have already been defined. Vaddio recommends renaming presets when you store them.

To store a preset or custom home position:

1. Set up the shot.

2. Select Store to open the Store Preset dialog.

3. Select the preset to define, then save it.

Page 66

Complete Manual for RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 Robotic PTZ Cameras

Renaming Presets and Custom CCU Scenes

You can rename presets and custom scenes. The process is the same for both. Right-click the button for the custom scene or preset, and edit the label.

Lighting and Color Adjustments: Setting up Custom CCU Scenes

CAMERA PAGE

No two rooms are exactly alike – but a lot of rooms are a lot alike. The technical folks at Vaddio (Scott, to be specific) have already set up presets for common lighting scenarios (CCU scenes)– Incandescent Hi, Incandescent Lo, Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo, and Outdoor. The Auto setting allows the camera to determine the appropriate adjustments.

When adjusting for the room lighting, start with a factory-defined CCU scene and adjust as needed. After you customize the camera's color and lighting settings, you can save the adjustments as a custom CCU scene.

Note

If the camera is connected to a Universal CCU, use the Universal CCU to manage lighting and color adjustments when you are in the same room as the equipment. See Managing Lighting and Color

Adjustments with the Universal CCU.

You can still manage lighting and color adjustments from the camera's web interface, if you are not in the same room with the equipment.

Note

Color adjustments are not available when the Auto CCU scene is selected.

Page 67

Complete Manual for RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 Robotic PTZ Cameras

To make the initial adjustments:

Click one of the active CCU scene buttons to load a CCU scene into the camera.

To set up custom color and lighting settings:

1. Fine-tune the color and lighting as needed using the Color Settings controls.

Auto Iris allows the camera to compensate automatically for the light level.

Backlight Compensation (available with Auto Iris) reduces contrast to adjust for bright light behind the main subject of the shot. This setting can't be used with Wide Dynamic Range.

Wide Dynamic Range (available with Auto Iris) increases the contrast between the brightest and darkest areas. This setting can't be used with Backlight Compensation

Auto White Balance adjusts color automatically. Red gain and blue gain controls are not available when Auto White Balance is selected.

Red Gain and Blue Gain provide manual color adjustment.

Detail adjusts the image sharpness.

Chroma adjusts the color intensity.

Gamma adjusts the range (grey density)between bright areas and shadows.

The Color and Lighting Cheat Sheet may be helpful.

2. When the scene looks the way you want it to, click Store CCU Scene.

3. In the Store CCU Scene dialog box, select which custom scene to store (Custom A, B, or C) and select Save.

4. Optional: Name the new scene by right-clicking its button. A dialog box opens. Enter the name and save it.

If you make a change that you don't like, start over by selecting and then deselecting Auto White Balance.

Note

If the video looks grainy or “noisy,” try a lower Detail setting. As in conversation, too much detail is bad.

Adjusting the Focus

CAMERA PAGE

Open the Focus control to select Auto-focus, or set manual focus with the + (near) and – (far) buttons. Iknow you already understand this, but I’m going to say it anyway: The + and – buttons don’t work when Auto Focus is selected.

Focus control is available to users via the IR Remote Commander, but it is not available on the operator's Controls page of the web interface.

Setting the Speed for Manual Movements

CAMERA PAGE

The Pan Speed, Tilt Speed, and Zoom Speed sliders control how fast the camera moves in response to the direction and zoom controls on the IR remote and in the web interface. These speeds are also used in moving to presets saved without Tri-Synchronous Motion information.

Use the arrow and Zoom controls to check camera speed, and use the Speed sliders to adjust as needed.

Configuring Streaming (Quick-Connect USB or Quick-Connect USB Mini)

STREAMING PAGE, QUICK-CONNECT WEB INTERFACE

The Quick-Connect USB and Quick-Connect USB Mini devices provide streaming capability for RoboSHOT cameras.

n Quick-Connect USB Mini: USB 2.0 streaming only n Quick-Connect USB: USB 2.0 or IP (H.264) streaming; configurable

The Quick-Connect USB defaults to USB 2.0 streaming. Most aspects of USB streaming are negotiated automatically between the Quick-Connect device and the

conferencing application, and in many cases no configuration is needed for either USB or IP streaming.

To select the streaming mode (Quick-Connect USB only):

Select the desired streaming mode if necessary. USB streaming is the default. The settings for the selected streaming mode are highlighted.

To configure USB streaming (Quick-Connect USB or Quick-Connect USB Mini):

If desired, give the Quick-Connect device a device name that helps people to identify and select it when setting up their laptops for conferencing.

In most cases you do not need to set the color space; this is automatically negotiated with the conferencing application.

Page 73

Complete Manual for RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 Robotic PTZ Cameras

To configure IP streaming (Quick-Connect USB only):

1. Select the desired video resolution. This cannot be higher than the video resolution set on the camera. Video resolution determines the size of the media player window displaying the stream on people's computers.

2. Select the video quality. This determines how much bandwidth the stream uses.

Pro tip

Ahigher bandwidth setting provides better video if the network can support it, but can result in poorquality video if the network has bandwidth limitations. A high video resolution setting combined with a high quality (bandwidth) setting requires the most network bandwidth. If the network cannot easily support this, video errors will be more likely and more obvious than at lower quality and/or resolution settings.

3. Select the streaming protocol if necessary. RTSP on port 554 is the default; the port number can be changed. Do not change the port number unless your IT staff directs you to do so. HLS is available for streaming to Apple iOS devices. HLS streaming is always on port 80.

4. Optional: Change the streaming URL path to help people identify the URL in their media player's list of recent streams.

5. Save the changes you make on this page.

1. Turn the knob to navigate from the home menu to the item you need to change. The @ symbol indicates the menu item to which you have navigated.

2. Press the Select button to change the menu knob to adjustment mode. The @ symbol changes to a > symbol.

3. Turn the menu knob to adjust the selected item.

4. When the item is adjusted properly, do one of these things:

Press the Cancel button to put the menu knob back into navigation mode. This will not set the menu item back to its previous value.

Do nothing. After a few seconds, the display blinks once to indicate that the Menu knob has returned to navigation mode.

Available adjustments include:

n Shutter – Set the shutter speed. Range is 1 to

10000. This cannot be adjusted when Iris is in auto mode.

n NR (Noise Reduction) – Range is 0 through 5. n Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) – On or Off. This

cannot be enabled when Iris is in manual mode, nor can it be enabled when Backlight Compensation is enabled. The next three items are WDR adjustments.

Display Brightness Level – Range is 0 (dark) through 6 (bright).

Brightness Compensation – Range is 0 (dark) through 3 (bright).

Compensation Level – Range is 0 (low) through 2 (high).

n Skew – If the cables from the Universal CCU to the camera are not all the same length, video quality

may be reduced. Change the skew setting to compensate for the difference in cable length. The optimum setting is usually in the middle of the range of skew values which pass acceptable video. Range is 1 through 16.

n HDMI – Set the HDMIcolor space. Default is YCrCb; sRGB is also available. n Y-Gain – Adjust the video ±10 IRE at all outputs as needed for associated video equipment. n Scene Config – Navigate through the six factory-defined CCU scenes, or press one of the three

Scenes buttons to select a custom scene. If the selected custom scene has not been defined on the camera, the Universal CCU presents a message saying there is no such scene, and reverts to the default scene (Auto).

Adjusting Color

The Color and Lighting Cheat Sheet provides information on correcting specific issues.

To calibrate the camera and use the automated capabilities:

1. Ensure that Auto White Balance (the AUTO button under W BAL) is off.

2. Zoom in on a white object, such as a sheet of paper. At least 60% of the image area must be white for the calibration to work properly.

3. Press OPWB. When the Universal CCU completes the calibration and color balance adjustment, the reference object appears white in the image.

4. After the calibration and adjustment is complete, press the Auto White Balance button.

To adjust color manually:

1. Adjust the Chroma level to taste, so the colors are neither too intense nor too gray.

2. Adjust the red and blue levels. Adjusting for skin tones or using a color chart is an easy way to find a good baseline setup.

Setting the Default Lighting Adjustments

The Universal CCU includes six predefined lighting scenes to use as starting-points for fine-tuning:

n AUTO – automatic lighting management n Incand Lo – incandescent, low intensity n Incand Hi – incandescent, bright n Fluor Lo – fluorescent, low intensity n Fluor Hi – fluorescent, bright n Outdoor – daylight

To specify a stored scene to use on power-up:

1. Open the Cat-5 Adjustments menu on the display panel.

2. Select the scene that best fits the lighting needs:

3. Press the SELECT button to save your change.

Adjusting Light Level and Detail

1. Press the MANUAL button under IRIS to disable Auto Iris.

2. Dial the Iris to the largest aperture (lowest ‘f’ number).

3. Press GAIN and dial it down until the image is too dark. Then bring it back up until it is properly exposed.

4. Exposures that require high gain settings will have a grainy video image. Press DETAIL and adjust the detail setting for a smoother image.

Page 77

Complete Manual for RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 Robotic PTZ Cameras

Working with Custom Scenes

You can store up to three customized sets of lighting and color adjustments (CCUscenes)so you can use them whenever you need them.

To store a scene:

1. Adjust color, lighting, and detail as needed.

2. Decide which scene to assign as the current set of adjustments - A, B, or C.

3. Press and hold the appropriate scene button until it blinks.

To select a stored scene:

Press the appropriate SCENES button – A, B, or C. The button illuminates to show that the scene is in use.

To delete a stored scene:

Press and hold the appropriate scene button (A, B, or C) while pressing the Cancel button.

Adjusting for Cable Length

Long runs of cable from the Universal CCU to the camera can result in poor signal quality. If the video quality is higher when you connect the camera to the Universal CCU with short cables, the skew adjustment may help.

1. Open the Cat-5 Adjustments menu.

2. Select Skew.

3. Change the value as needed to produce the best video output from the Universal CCU. Available values range from 1 to 16; higher values correct for longer cable lengths.

4. Press the SELECT button to save the change.

Pro Tip

For the best adjustment, start at the lowest skew value and increase to the first value that produces a visible improvement. Note the value, and increase the skew until the video begins to look worse. Choose a value about halfway between those two values.

If the skew value is too high, the video may drop.

Adjusting the Front Panel Display

Depending on the lighting conditions where the Universal CCU is installed, you may choose to adjust the front panel display.

The display menu is only available when DIP switch 5 is up.

Note

Disconnect power before changing the position of the DIP switch.

To adjust the display:

1. Navigate to the display menu, which is after the version information.

2. Work with the settings in the same way you work with the other items that are not on the home menu.

Available settings are:

n Display – Normal (light text on dark background)or Invert (dark text on light background). n Bias – Changes the overall brightness. Range is 1/9 (bright) to 1/11 (dim). n Contrast – Changes the brightness of the background; settings below about 195 also dim the text.

Range is 180 to 230.

Note

The display menu does not time out and return you to the home menu.

Operating the Camera from the Web Interface

CONTROLS PAGE

The Controls page provides most of the same controls as the IR Remote Commander. If guest access is disabled, you will need to log in as user to access these controls.

n Move to camera presets, if any have been stored n Pan, tilt, zoom, or return it to its home position n Put the camera in standby or bring it back to the ready state n Select a custom lighting adjustment, if any have been stored

Since the web interface is specific to the camera you are working with, it does not offer camera selection.

Switching the Camera Off or On (Standby)

Use the Standby button to switch between low-power (standby) and ready states. On entering standby mode, the camera moves to its standby position and stops sending video.

Stop or Resume Sending Video (Mute)

Use the Mute button to stop sending live video without putting the camera in standby mode. When the video is muted, the camera sends a blue or black screen. If the camera is part of a conferencing system, this does not mute the audio.

Moving the Camera

Use the arrow buttons for camera pan and tilt. The center button moves the camera to the home position.

Zooming In or Out

Use the Zoom + button to zoom in and the Zoom- button to zoom out.

Moving the Camera to a Preset Position

Presets are camera shots that have been stored. They include pan, tilt, and zoom information, and may include color and speed information as well. If no presets are defined, the Controls page does not present the Presets section.

Use the Preset buttons to move the camera to any of its preset positions.

Adjusting the Color and Lighting

If any color and lighting adjustments (CCU scenes)have been saved, they are available in the Scenes area, along with the Auto setting. In most cases, the Auto setting is appropriate. This setting allows the camera to adjust to current conditions automatically.

Telnet Command Reference

Vaddio's Telnet command protocol is a high-level, text-based command line interface that allows an external device (such as the AV Bridge MATRIX PRO) to control the camera. A Telnet client and network connectivity are required; the default Telnet port is 23.

Note

If an AV Bridge MATRIX PRO is used, the Telnet session is with the AV Bridge MATRIX PRO, not the camera. The camera commands specify camera 1, camera 2, or camera 3, but are otherwise identical to the camera commands in this manual. Refer to the Telnet command information in the AV Bridge MATRIX PRO manual for more detailed information.

Telnet sessions require the administrator account login. The protocol is based upon ASCII format following the VT100 terminal emulation standard and uses an

intuitive text command nomenclature for ease of use. General format usage follows a get/set structure. Usage

examples for each type are: Set command sent directly to the camera: COMMAND: > camera zoom in RESPONSE: > OK Get command sent to the AV Bridge MATRIX PRO, directed

to the camera connected as camera 1 (of up to three cameras that may be connected):

COMMAND: > camera 1 ccu get iris RESPONSE:> iris 11 Syntax Error Example: COMMAND: > camera preset 1 RESPONSE: > Syntax error: Unknown or incomplete command Using a question mark as a command parameter will bring up a list of available commands for the menu

you are in. Things to know about control via Telnet session:

n Command lines are terminated with a carriage return. n All ASCII characters (including carriage returns)are echoed to the terminal program and appended with

the VT100 string ESC[J (hex 1B 5B 4A), which most terminal programs automatically strip.

n CTRL-5 Clears the current serial buffer on the device.

Typographical conventions:

n {x | y | z} – Choose x, y, or z. n <variable> – Substitute the desired value here. n < x - y > – Valid range of values is from x through y. n [optional] – Parameter is not required.
