CPC-CAMI with its four jumpers can control nearly any camera/lens in the industry. Refer to the table below for exact voltage outputs for each jumper board. NOTE: If no jumper board is connected to the CPC-CAMI, the lens outputs are disconnected.
Physical Description The CPC-CAMI, shown below, is housed in a black enclosure with two rotating disks for the pan and tilt axes. A stop sensor is located on each side of the unit having a rotating disk. Each disk has two adjustable locking screws. The disks also feature heavy duty precision bearings for long life and minimal friction.

Adjustable mounting plates (flat and angled) and mounting hardware are provided with each CPC-CAMI. The two plates can be fixed to one of the rotating disks with the mounting hardware to provide camera/lens support. The other disk serves as a mounting platform for the CPC-CAMI with attached camera/lens assembly.

However, realize that the height of the two sides to which the disks are attached are not equal. Therefore, mounting the camera/lens assembly to the longer side allows for a greater range of motion (assuming that the CPC-CAMI is directly mounted to a large horizontal surface).

ROUND OBJECT 5. Use two 1/4-20 x 3/8” pan Phillips head screws (supplied) to loosely secure the angled mounting plate to the CPC-CAMI. Verify that the two pins on the plate align with the slot on the rotating disk. 6. Adjust the vertical position of the angled mounting plate (refer to the illustration below).
03 to FE. The NET ID of each unit must match an ID CODE specified in the SIMPL Windows program. The NET ID of each CPC-CAMI has been factory set to 34, but may be changed from the PC via VisionTools™ Pro-e (VT Pro-e) or SIMPL™...

NOTE: To insure safe operation of the CPC-CAMI, all cables around the unit must be properly “dressed” so that the cables do not strike surrounding surfaces or equipment which would endanger safe system movement when in operation.
Pan/Tilt Camera Head with Control Interface Limit Stop Adjustment Two locking screws are found on each rotating disk on the CPC-CAMI. Complete the following steps to properly set the limit stops. Calibration Over time it may be necessary to recalibrate the CPC-CAMI to ensure proper operation.
Two sample SIMPL Windows programs are presented in this document for the two separate lens control configurations. The first subsystem supports lenses that use CPC-CAMI jumper boards A, B, or D. The second subsystem is specific for lenses using CPC-CAMI jumper board C and have the separate rate/position drive.

A sample SIMPL program is shown in block diagram form below. SIMPL Windows contains a couple of macros within the Crestron Modules folder, which can easily control pan/tilt, zoom/focus as well as store and recall presets (if available on the lens).

MD, BMD series), do not have true feedback pots. Instead they have separate rate and position control modes. If presets are not required, the CNCAMI RATE CONTROL module can be used for direct drive of the rate lines on the CPC-CAMI definition.

CPC-CAMI. Four position drive signals, TILT_SET, PAN_SET, FOC_SET, and ZOOM_SET, are used to instruct the CPC-CAMI to drive the camera to a preset position. Anytime the analog level on one of these drive signals change, the CPC-CAMI adjusts the corresponding pan/tilt axis and focus/zoom lensposition until the feedback matches the level at the programmed output.
Presets can not be recalled.
