PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The VLC485 is a pan/tilt controller that ties together the major
elements of an integrated system and provides a single human
interface for the system. As such, the VLC485 can control pan/tilt
units, interface to multiplexers, and communicate with a personal
computer for computer-controlled operation.
The LCD is used to display current status as well as to provide a
menu system for setting operational parameters.
The VLC485 is designed for desktop operation; all connectors are
located in the rear of the unit so that all cables can be routed from
the back of the unit.
