CDR Series
Installation Instructions
12
This system comprises a telemetry
controller, receiver and pan/tilt head. The
camera is connected to the monitor via a
telemetry controller (e.g. ZTX3). The receiver
is connected to the camera via a 20mA
twisted pair connector. The receiver controls
the pan/tilt head conventionally using
telemetry commands issued by the telemetry
controller. Camera setup can be made via
the built-in joystick or remotely using the
telemetry controller.

SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
CDR series cameras receive coaxial telemetry via the Video Out BNC connector. These
telemetry signals are passed to a receiver when required via a 20mA twisted pair connection.
In normal operation, the camera is completely transparent to telemetry commands and
simply forwards them to the receiver. However, when the cameras menu system is being
accessed, telemetry commands are no longer passed to the receiver and are instead used
to issue program instructions to the camera.
Note
When using coaxial telemetry, the PROTOCOL option in the Comms menu must be set to
COAX. This operation can only be carried out locally via the camera joystick. For more
details, see page 38.
The camera can be connected in a variety of options as shown below:
