CameraMan Installation and Operation Manual 29
Appendix
B
Multi-Camera Applications
Note If the camera does not move, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section of the
Camera Control Keypad, or DIGITAL SHOT Director manual.
Note If using more than one CameraMan 3-CCD DIGITAL Camera, the cameras
need to be set up in a “daisy-chain” network configuration using the following
steps:
1. Connect cameras together by plugging the Grass Valley T-connector
into the RS-485 port on the back of the camera.
2. Connect each camera using a 4-conductor cable, with 4-position
modular handset plugs wired straight-through:
• Pin 1 to Pin 1
• Pin 2 to Pin 2
• Pin 3 to Pin 3
• Pin 4 to Pin 4
Note Do NOT use a pre-wired standard phone cable. The wiring is different and
may cause damage.
3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch located on the back of
the Camera, configure each camera with a unique Base Unit Address;
i.e. Camera One set with address 0, Camera Two set with address 1, and
so on.
4. To control each camera with your Camera Control Keypad, the rotary
switch inside the keypad battery compartment must match the lowest
Base Unit Address in your system.
