SET/ NO RETURN (DIP Switch 1):  

•    DOWN (and all microphone inputs are inactive)– The camera will return to a 

default preset (preset # 72), which is usually set to be a wide shot of the 

room. 

•    UP (and all microphone inputs are inactive)– The camera will remain positioned 

at the last active input.

RETURN TIME/ SETTING (DIP Switches 2,3):  

•    Switches 2 and 3 only apply if Switch 1 is set to DOWN. They select the time 

delay associated with the camera returning to the default  preset after the last 

active microphone is released. 

•    Use this chart to set the switches accordingly:

INPUT #32 OPERATION (DIP Switch 4):   

This switch is used to determine the operation mode of input 32. 

•   NORMAL– The input will operate as a normal input, identical to inputs 

1-31.

•   AUDIO– The input will operate in an audio-only mode, which causes no 

camera movement when the microphone is active. In audio-only mode, an 

active input will not cause the VIDEO RELAY to be activated.

The audio-only mode is intended for use by someone who 

wishes to be heard, but does not want to cause the 

camera to position on them, such as a room facilitator.

INPUT #33 OPERATION (DIP Switches 5,6): 

Switch 5 is used to determine the operation mode of input 33.

•   NORMAL– The input will operate as a normal input, identical 

to inputs 1-31. 

•   OPTION– Then the operation is dependent upon the setting 

of Dip Switch 6.

Switch 6 settings

•   UP– The input will operate in an audio-only mode, which 

causes no camera movement when the microphone is active. 

When in audio-only mode, an active input will not cause the 

VIDEO RELAY to be activated.

•   DOWN– The input will operate as a Master Override input. 

When this input is active, the camera will be positioned 

to a Master Override position (preset 33) and all 

other microphones will be “LOCKED” out from controlling 

the camera. Once this input is released, control is 

returned to all microphones and they are serviced as 

usual.  In this case, the video relay will remain open. 

BAUD RATE SETTING (DIP Switch 7):  

This switch determines the communication baud rate: UP = 19,200; 

DOWN = 9,600

19,200 must be used if a PVTV SHOT Director or CameraMan 

Control Center is connected to the system.

 DIP Switch 8:  

Not in use at this time.
