The following parameters define the type of camera control:
z
Camera with CDC:
Activate this option for CDCs with position control and those without position
control, and where electronic control is used to drive a Remote Digital Camera
(interface).
z
Electronic control only:
Activate this option if electronic camera remote control is used:
Any Remote Digital Cameras used in the system can be controlled purely
electronically. M/E switch-over (electrical/mechanical).
Deactivate if there is no lens drive or panning drive.
In that case, all the commands destined for the camera head address will be
always be transmitted as electronic code.
z
Position:
Activate this option if the CDC allows position control.
z
Variable speed:
Activate this option if the SIMATRIX has to send variable speed commands for
camera movement.
If this option is not activated, the SIMATRIX will only transmit fixed speed
commands, meaning that the cameras with variable speed panning capability
will also only move at a fixed speed.
z
Port 1..4 / TTY out:
Here each camera remote can be assigned to one of the 4 telemetry ports or to
the TTY OUT current loop port. For a big amount of camera stations it is also
possible, to assign the same bus address to different telemtry ports. The
protocol of each port can be defined in the „video matrix interfaces“ menu.
