interface.
EagleEye IV Camera Orientation

Note: Usage of serial ports
Some cameras come with a breakout cable that allows you to use the camera with the HDCI serial
port. If you use the HDCI serial port, the cable has embedded serial capabilities, so you can use
either method mentioned in this section to connect the camera. However, if you connect a camera to
a Composite or HDMI port on the RealPresence Group system, you must control the camera through
the external serial port.
