Page 4: Getting Started
Uni-directional In this mode the IDU acts as a ‘Virtual Camera’ and talks to the RCP via its native protocol. Changes to this Virtual Camera are then encoded into our low latency protocol. Encoded data is routed from the IDU to the ODU where it is transmitted. Data is then received via the RX, within the RX a ‘Virtual Panel’... -

ODU, where it is then transmitted. An RX then receives transmitted data and communicates with the manufacturers camera. Return data is fed from the RX via a return path, back to the IDU. Typically, this return path would be via the data path provided on many COFDM video transmitters. -
Page 6: Connecting Components
There are two options for connecting to an ODU, either via the Data Out Connector or using the RJ45 and via an Ethernet Network. Tally The IDU can be connected into an existing tally system via the Tally Input Connector, this will respond to contact closure, open collector input and TTL logic levels (inverted). Power Connect 12V DC to the Power input XLR connector. -
