Settings for connecting with the remote cameras and switcher
To control remote cameras from the unit and use the function to link the
unit and a switcher, you need to set the connection settings in advance.
There are two ways of configuring the connection settings. You can
either configure the settings on the unit or use the setup software to
configure the settings.
This section describes how to configure the settings on the unit.
For details on how to use the setup software to configure the settings,
refer to “Setup Software” in Operations and Settings (page 45).
All the remote cameras are set to the same IP address when
they are shipped from the factory. Therefore, if multiple remote
cameras left set to the factory default state are connected with IP
connections and then operated from the unit, they will not operate
properly.
When another remote camera that is set to the same IP address
as an existing remote camera is to be connected because, for
example, the existing remote camera is being replaced, turn off
the unit’s power before making the connection. When the remote
camera is connected without first turning off the unit’s power, the
remote camera may not operate properly.
Notes
Link settings
Selecting one of the camera numbers CAM1 to CAM100 on the unit
identifies the remote camera to control. When the remote camera you
are attempting to control is connected via an IP connection, you need
to set an IP address that is not a duplicate of that of each of the remote
cameras and associate each IP address and each camera number on
the unit beforehand in order to perform control.
Likewise, to use the function for linking with a switcher, you you need to
associate the IP address of the switcher with the unit.
These association settings are referred to as “link settings” in this
manual.
Connection destination IP addresses
The IP address for the unit to identify the connection target (remote
camera or switcher) is referred to as the “connection destination IP
address” in this manual.
One remote camera connection destination IP address for each of the
CAM1 to CAM100 camera numbers (total of 100) is set on the unit, and
one switcher connection destination IP address is set on the unit.
You can confirm the connection destination IP address for each camera
number in MANUAL IP menu [39]. You can confirm the connection
destination IP address for the switcher in SW SETUP menu [41].
