The SDI Out from the camera is then available on the full
size BNC connector on the PTX chassis. If the camera
provides an HDMI output, it’s available on this chassis
mount.
For other cameras using standard BNC connections, use
the included Mini-BNC-to-BNC snap-on converters.
Note: If your camera requires a GENLOCK source, use the
SDI IN on the chassis for that signal, and use the snap-on
converter on the bundled SDI IN wire for connection with
the Genlock In on your camera.
If you are using a Blackmagic Micro Studio 4K camera
,
connect the included HD15 breakout cable to the side of
the camera, then use the cable bundle clamp and screw to
secure the cables to the top (or bottom) of the camera.
Then connect the LANC TO
CAM and 12VDC TO CAM
cables to the two
cables/connectors from the
HD15.
DMX Control: If you’re using more than one PTX head,
connect the DMX OUT to the DMX IN of each fixture
(daisy-chain) for control.
VISCA Control: Daisy-chain up to SEVEN PTX heads by
connecting the RS422 OUT from the first to the RS422 IN
of additional fixtures. THE DMX ID MUST BE SET TO
CHANNEL 1 ON ALL SEVEN FIXTURES! The
DMX/VISCA ID (DIP switch) must be set to 1 – 7 on the
respective fixtures.
The PTX PanTilt heads are designed to integrate
seamlessly into any DMX hardware or software controlled
system.
Set the DMX ID for each fixture as you would with any
other DMX lighting fixture. When you turn on the power
switch, the system will initialize, displaying .rSt on the
LED display.
It a few seconds it will then show the currently selected
DMX ID. The default is Channel 1, which displays as
A001.
