Multiple Cameras, Jcus, And Other Devices - FLIR M-SERIES Operator's Manual

M-Series Overview
The JCU has various buttons, an LCD display, and a joystick puck that
is used to control the pan/tilt movement of the camera and to navigate
through the on-screen display (OSD) menus. The puck can be rotated
in either direction, moved left and right or forward and back, and
pushed in and pulled up.
The M-Series uses OSD symbols to indicate the camera position
(azimuth) and system settings that are enabled. These symbols are
introduced in Video Display, pg. 11 and are further explained
throughout this manual in the discussion of related functions.

Multiple Cameras, JCUs, and Other Devices

The system may include additional cameras or JCUs, video equipment,
or network equipment. More than one JCU can be used to control the
camera, and more than one display can be used to view the video. Also
Joystick Control Unit
a single JCU can be used to control more than one camera and
optionally you can also use a PC to control the camera.
Typically, the JCU and the video monitor are mounted in close physical proximity, as a pair, so you
can immediately see the changes on the video screen when you use the JCU to change the
camera position (pan or tilt).
In a simple installation, the JCU can be directly connected to the camera with the supplied double-
shielded Ethernet cable. In this case, the JCU draws its power from the camera. In more complex
installations, the camera and JCU can be interconnected using a network switch. If the network
switch does not have Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, a PoE injector can be used to provide
power to the JCU. FLIR PoE injectors are available from your FLIR authorized dealer or integrator.
Contact FLIR for more information regarding available accessories including JCUs, PoE
equipment, video distribution amplifiers, cables, connectors, mounting hardware, and so on.
