Input Names; Ptz (Connection) - Panasonic AV-HLC100E Operating Instructions Manual

Often you will wish to replace the default Switcher input names like (INPUT 1, 2, etc.) with something
more descriptive. The Input Names group contains three editable text fields. The Video label is displayed
beneath viewports. The shorter Button label appears on Switcher buttons.
FIGURE 45
The longer Comment field can be used as a memo but, like the Video label, is also available as a DataLink
key for use in titling (see Section 12.2 and 7.1.3). Properly prepared title pages can use this to
automatically 'pull in' data from these fields from the information you enter here, allowing you to show
titles that properly identify their source every time.
PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom), or 'robotic' cameras are playing increasingly important roles in video production.
And AV-HLC100 is able to control multiple PTZ cameras across a network connection.
FIGURE 46
Connection controls shown in the PTZ group vary according to the Connection type you select from the
following two options:
NDI – Choose this control connection option for NDI-enabled Panasonic cameras or other devices.
•
No other settings are required in this case.
Panasonic – Choose this control connection option for Panasonic PTZ cameras supplying video
•
by SDI or HDMI video connections. Then continue to configure the device by entering values.
Choose your camera protocol using the drop-down menu. For NDI cameras, that is normally all you need
to do. To control connection to Panasonic cameras lacking NDI connectivity, you will also need to enter
the IP address for the unit.
