InCam-S Overview
The InCam-S unit is a fully integrated dockable Camera Back for the Sony
HDC-2400/HDC-2500 camera, this replaces the Sony Triax side-cover module.
The InCam-S unit has a built-in MVL Transmitter that sends video and audio generated by
the Sony camera to a Receive point. The InCam-S unit also has a built-in telemetry Data
receiver.
The FocalPoint Camera Control system offers remote control operation/functionality to the
camera using one-way data from the Vislink OCP5 controller.
NOTE: Return data is available to the OCP5 if the user data out from the MVL Receiver is
connected directly to the OCP5 @ 115200 baud.
NOTE: One-way data or return data is available when using the Sony RCP 750/1500/1530.
You can control the camera from a PC with Windows™ OS installed, using the Vislink
software IncamProgrammer.exe. User instructions are available from the user guide,
which is accessed from the GUI.
The configuration cable from the computer connects to a 4-Pin BINDER socket located
under the carbon fiber cover. The main operation configurations are available using the
camera menu, seen through the Viewfinder (available with Vislink’s add-on software).
Additional instructions are available for mounting the InCam-S to the camera and installing
the add-on camera menu.
The Sony camera on/off switch is the master power for both the camera and InCam-S.
