4.16 Telemetry Card Settings
‘Telemetry Card Settings’ allows each connected Telemetry card to be configured.
For V3i, each unit has the equivalent of two D-Type Telemetry cards, so a Master and Slave
unit together can be connected to up to 64 cameras (each telemetry port can be connected
to only one camera).
Note: In a V3i system, text is shown above the ‘Telemetry card’ selector to identify the V3i
unit used for the selected Telemetry card:
•
Telemetry ‘card’ 1 and 2 are in the Master unit
•
Telemetry ‘card’ 3 and 4 are in the Slave unit.
For V3M a maxiumum of 16 Telemetry cards can be connected to interface with up to 511
cameras (16 cameras per card, if each card port is connected to one camera). More than
one camera can be connected per port.
