2.2.3
Multiple Camera Control
The TANDBERG 8000 is able to control up to four W.A.V.E. cameras from the remote control.
The Main Camera must be connected to data port 2 on the Codec. The other cameras must be
daisy-chained to the Main Camera. The Codec will provide power for the Main Camera only.
The other cameras each need a separate power supply. The Main Camera must be connected to
Video Input 1; the second camera must be connected to Video Input 2 and so on.
The codec will automatically detect the number of cameras and the camera ID can be read in the
‘System self test’ menu. The maximum length of the camera cable for multiple cameras
supported by TANDBERG is 20 m (65 ft).
The figure below is an example of how multiple cameras should be connected:

Camera Tracking
Voice-activated camera tracking with noise suppression and preset-combination has been
implemented in the TANDBERG 8000 software. A W.A.V.E. Camera connected to Video Input
1 can be used for camera tracking
6
. Two or three microphones must be installed and each
microphone must be associated with a camera-preset position (preset P7 to Mic1, P8 to Mic2
and/or P9 to Mic3). Camera tracking is temporarily turned off when another video source is
selected (e.g. a document camera) or when the camera is manually adjusted.
6 If more than one W.A.V.E. camera is connected to the system, the presets may also be put on these cameras.
