6 Appendix 6.1 RS-485 Addressing and Connections The Kalatel ProBridge (CBR-PB2) is not an addressable device NOTE and requires no user settings. The device simply acts as an interpreter, translating the remote telemetry commands into a format useable by the P/T/Z controller. Each camera input, whether a fixed camera or a Pan/Tilt/Zoom (P/T/Z) unit, is connected to a Calibur unit input.
