HHC forms the core of a new group of control and monitoring hardware from Visual Engineering.  
We are aware that there is no one size fits all for field applications. As such we have designed a 
range of controllers and monitors that can be used either alone, or in conjunction with other items 
from the range to build an application specific control solution.  
HHC incorporates the MMI (man machine interface), in a compact, ergonomic control handle, along 
with the UHF transceiver function of the system.  
The UHF transceiver can operate in bands from 100MHz to 1GHz, and utilizes GMSK modulation to 
give a flexible, rugged comms path. The unit is also capable of AES256 encryption to secure the data 
path.  
Housed in a CNC machined Delrin case, the unit is designed to meet and exceed IP67.  
Controls on the unit include and IP69K rated thumb joystick for pan and tilt, along with six function 
buttons, which can be programmed by the user for diverse functions such as camera zoom and the 
control of a remote video transmitter’s frequency.  
As a standalone device the HHC can be used to control a remote unit equipped with our UHF 

telemetry receiver (UTRX). A rechargeable, lithium ion battery pack is available for the HHC (RLIB), 

allowing un-tethered use along with our battery display unit (BDU) which allows user to control and 

monitor a remote camera. 

 

DMMPTZC: Digital Multi Meter Controller for PTZ 

 

The DMMPTZC Multi Meter style controller is designed to allow remote operation of our range of 

PTZ cameras, the DMMPTZC also provides local monitoring, and is capable of powering the remote 

camera.
