Page 4/20
INTRODUCTION
The CTI/8 is designed to provide conversion from RS422/485 data to BBV Coax Telemetry based systems.
Up the Coax telemetry allows upgrading of static cameras to PTZ without the need for additional cabling.
It has one RS422/485 input that is dipswitch selectable. The baud rates & parity for Pelco P/D & Vicon
protocols are variable.
Sixteen individual outputs are provided. Each output connects to a single receiver.
Each unit is supplied with a break out box and 0.5m Cat 6 patch cable.
Multiple CTI/8s can be cascaded together giving up to 128 camera outputs.
Please Note: Camera address will be limited to the maximum number supported by the individual
protocol.
Please note: Menu Access commands of cameras can vary between control equipment even if using
the same protocol.
For Example: In Pelco D protocol - dome menu access commands can be either Goto Preset 95 or
Save Preset 95. Enter = Goto Preset 1 or Iris Open / Close
Protocols currently supported are: BBV, Pelco P/D, Pelco P DM, VCL, Dennard, Philips, Sensormatic
RS422, Molynx & Vicon.
