7.2 Installation of Sony Cameras Continued
A star wiring configuration is when all camera control cables from each camera are
connected to the workstation, through an Edgeport, instead of daisy chaining to each
camera. In some installations this will reduce the amount of cable run.
Another option it to have one or several long runs to a set of cameras, then
connecting each camera in a daisy chain configuration. In some installations this will
reduce the amount of cable run. See diagrams on next page.
It is important to set each camera to its proper camera address/camera position. This
is done directly on each camera and it is recommended to set each camera to ‘Auto’
or ‘0’, as the Broadcast Pix software will automatically detect the correct settings. On
an EVI-70 there is no such setting, as it is internally set to ‘Auto’, on a BRC-300 the
camera address is changed on the bottom of each camera via dip-switches.
