Operation

Operating Procedure

Ignite SDC/HDC Robotic Camera Instruction Manual
1. Turn on all equipment power.
WARNING Ensure personnel and obstacles are clear of the camera during power-up.
The robotic head will automatically rotate to the preset zero degree pan
and tilt location.
Note The camera robotics may make some noise for the first few hours of opera-
tion. This is due to a special type of grease that will seat into the gears to
provide long life lubrication of the mechanical components. The noise should
abate soon after the camera is put into operation.
2. Adjust the camera.
Use the SHOT Director to adjust the camera.
Refer to the JSC-2300 SHOT Director Robotics/Camera Controller
Instruction Manual for procedures and
Block, Appendix B-SD (PAL) Camera
Block for adjustment options.
You should adjust the following items the first time the camera is used.
a. Camera ID and IP address.
The pan/tilt head and JSC-2300 SHOT Director are factory set to
default IP addresses to allow the units to communicate initially. If
you are connecting multiple cameras, you will need to set each
camera to a unique ID and IP address using the JSC-2300 SHOT
Director. Refer to
recommended IP addresses and camera IDs.
b. White balance adjustment.
This adjustment is needed when the camera is used for the first
time, after leaving it unused for a long time, or when the lighting
condition or brightness change.
Note After adjusting the white balance, re-adjustment is not needed under the
same conditions.
