7. Instruction for installation 7.1 Step 1 – DIP Switch Setting Set the Mirror option to H+V mode. 7.2 Step 2 – One End of Mounting Wire Attach the mounting wire to the junction box mounted on the ceiling by screwing one end of the mounting wire into a screw hole in the junction box with a screw (not supplied) as shown in the diagram below.
7.4 Step 4 – Ceiling Bracket (A) and Camera Screw ceiling bracket (A) into the bottom of the camera using three screws. • Position the screws as shown in the diagram below • • Align the screw holes on the bottom of the camera with those in the ceiling bracket.
7.6 Step 6 – Screw to Secure Camera Secure the camera by screwing three screws into the corresponding screw holes as shown in the diagram below. 7.7 Step 7 – Cable Connection Connect the cables to the connectors located on the rear of the camera.
9. DVIP Control Protocol 9.1 DVIP Setup DVIP is a user interface that allows the user to control multiple PTC-150 cameras remotely. The DVIP setup procedure is outlined as follows: Locate the DIP switch at the bottom of the PTC-150 camera Set DIP Switch positions 1 and 4 to ON Plug in the power cord into the PTC-150 and connect it to a monitor via the HDMI interface.

Set the DVIP baud rate to to 115200 [SET DVIP] DVIP BAUDRATE: 115200 ESCAPE Connect your PC and the PTC-150 to an Ethernet router, which should automatically assign an IP to the PTC-150 On the PC, open the DVIP Configuration Tool by double clicking “DVIP_ConfigureTools.exe”. The DVIP Configuration Tool can be obtained from the Datavideo local distributors.

10. RS-422 Control Protocol 10.1 RS-422 PIN Descriptions Camera Controller 10.2 RS-422 Control Operation Guide 10.2.1 Overview of VISCA In VISCA, the side outputting commands, for example, a computer is called the controller, while the side receiving the commands, such as a PTC-150, is called the peripheral device. The PTC-150 serves as a peripheral device in VISCA.
When the address of the controller is fixed at 0 The addresses of the peripheral devices are 1, 2, 3… in order, starting from the one nearest the controller. The address of the peripheral device is set by sending address commands during the initialization of the network.
Fig. 2 Packet structure Note Fig. 2 shows the packet structure, while Fig. 3 shows the actual waveform. Data flow will take place with the LSB first. Fig. 3 Actual waveform for 1 byte 10.2.2.2 Timing Chart As VISCA Command processing can only be carried out one time in a Vertical cycle, it takes the maximum 1V cycle time for an ACK/Completion to be returned.
Page 45
From this point, if 2 or more commands in a row are to be sent, wait for the first command (for normal commands, an ACK or an error message, for query commands, an Inquiry Packet) to be carried out before sending the next one. 10.2.2.3 Command and inquiry Command •...
10.2.2.5 Socket number When command messages are sent to the PTC-150, it is normal to send the next command message after waiting for the completion message or error message to return. As the completion message or error message also has a socket number, it indicates which command has ended.
11. Firmware Update Copy three image files, p150mcpu.bin, P150FPGA.bin and p150mctl.bin, into the root directory of a USB hard drive (<16 GB) and insert it into the USB port of PTC-150 (You may also use USB extension cord). Open the operation menu of IR remote controller (select from CAM 1-4; default is CAM1) Main Menu =>...
