Page 3: Introduction And Precautions
Do not expose the PT-BRDCSTR to rain or moisture. If necessary to clean the PT-BRDCSTR: be sure to disconnect the power first, do not use spray cleaners, do not use with abrasive cleaning agents, use soft cloth (only dampened – not dripping) and a mild detergent only. -
Page 4: Notes
Any dismantling of the PTZ-BRDCSTR will violate the warranty on this product. Owner assumes all responsibility for any damage to a camera caused by mounting camera on or using camera with the PT-BRDCSTR. It is possible but not likely that the electromagnetic field may affect the image of the camera. -
Page 5: Features
Built-in voltage regulator circuit, provides effective protection of the camera. Detection of overvoltage, undervoltage or overcurrent will not allow the PT-BRDCSTR to remote power the camera. Supports control of different brands of cameras and different models of PT-BRDCSTR within the same control network. o Supports 1:1, 1:Many, Many:1 and Many:Many (i.e. Joysticks/KBs:Cameras). ... -

Page 12: Installation
7 Installation (Use a qualified and knowledgeable AV contractor to install) Step 1: Assembly The PTZ side arm and camera tray allow for three different orientations for the camera to be mounted on the head, as show below: Standard Side Load Standard Top Load Inverted Side Load Installation Note Regarding Effective Tilt Range:... - Page 13 Step 2: PTZ settings There eight Dip Switches in the base interface of the PT-BRDCSTR. They are defined as follows: Set PTZ Head address (Dip Sw 1-3) The default system maximum quantity = 7 (If needed, this may be expanded to an unlimited quantity).
- Page 14 PT- BRDCSTR will determine whether the camera voltage is within the standard range of the PT- BRDCSTR’s remote power system. If the camera is not within the standard voltage range, PT-BRDCSTR will not turn on remote power to the camera. In this case, you will need to use the “Camera is not powered through PT-BRDCSTR”...
- Page 15 PT-BRDCSTR. This must be configured using the internal Dip switch “Internal-SW1” The Internal Dip switch location is shown below: Internal Dip Switch - Right (remote camera power): Camera will use the internal DC power supply of the PT-BRDCSTR. The available camera maximum operating current is 2A.
- Page 16 Inverted Side Load CAUTION! When installing PT-BRDCSTR, avoid any manual rotation of the side arm, as it may lead to device failure! Step 4: Installing the Camera Put the camera on a table and on top of a rolling pencil or similar object that it can pivot on, in order to estimate the camera’s center of gravity.
- Page 17 Step 5: Connection Cable connections The PT-BRDCSTR and the camera require 3 interface cables: camera power lens control (3 types – model dependent) video signal Camera power supply cable DB9--JEITA, 700mm (all models) Aviation plug - 8 pin round plug, 700mm (for –E) Lens control cable (model Rev 1.2 6/16...
- Page 18 JEITA power connector and solder the correct connector on to the power supply cable. CAUTION: You must be sure that the cable is not attached to the PT-BRDCSTR or any other power source when you cut it! You must also be sure to maintain the proper polarity of the conductors when soldering on the new connector.

Zoom lens will go to the farthest position, with auto focus turned on, and with the default lens aperture setting. After this, if the PT-BRDCSTR has its preset 0 set, then it will move to preset 0, otherwise the PT-BRDCSTR will move to its HOME position. Once the startup cycle is complete, the user may execute serial commands to begin controlling the PT-BRDCSTR. -
