Setup Camera Id, Baud Rate And Control Protocol - Bolin Technology FEX Series User Manual

Setup Camera ID, Baud Rate and Control Protocol

1. For you to control a camera, the camera ID, baud rate and control protocol must be set up in advance. The baud rate
and the camera ID setting within the Camera must match the baud rate and camera ID setting on the system/control
keyboard.
2. The camera can auto detect the protocol being used based on the cables that are connected to its tail cable contacts
(RS422/ VISCA and RS485/PELCO-D). Please be sure to set up the camera address and baud rate within the camera.
3. Connect the camera to a monitor before powering on. Once powered, there is an initial setting page that will be
displayed on the screen for 5 seconds. On the page, it shows the factory default setting of the camera ID, baud rate and
other information. Some users find it helpful to take a picture of this default setting information, so it can be referenced
when setting up a keyboard controller.
4. Set the keyboard or control system to match the camera protocol, camera ID, and baud rate setting with the camera.

Camera supports VISCA and PELCO-D protocols. When connecting a controller to the camera's contacts, the
protocol being used is detected automatically by the camera.
