Select the protocol according to the camera model, When the camera tracking controller VIS-CATC-B is used and the protocol needs to be set to 'custom', the camera tracking is processed by VIS-CATC-B without setting the submenus' camera map 'and' start set '
Camera select--select the camera to setup, there totally support 16 cameras.
Camera addr.--set the camera address for the camera selected on submenu 'Camera select'. SAMSUNG and PELCO-D protocols need to set the address, and VISCA protocol is set to off.
Video channel--Bind the camera (which set on submenu 'camera select') to the video channel number of video switcher. (There is no video switcher connected to the main unit for camera tracking by RS232, just set as Off.)
Note: To set next camera, we just repeat the same steps:
'Camera Select->'Camera addr' ->'Video channel'
The main unit will record every time of setup for each camera.
UDP addr--Bind the IP of the network camera, if you choose VCA-UDP protocol control, you need to set the camera IP. The camera tracking host switching screen delay time can be set to 00 seconds to 30 seconds. When using the camera tracking controller or video matrix as the video switching device, select "Normal", and when the recorder is the video switching device, select "Recorder".
Example: Here we have to set up two cameras, using the VISCA, SAMSUNG/PELCO-D or CUSTOM protocol, and using a video switcher or camera tracking controller. Step 1: The lower control port of the CONTROL connected to the conference processor is connected to the camera.

Camera using SAMSUNG/ PELCO-D Step 2: The upper control port of the conference processor CONTROL is connected with the RS232 port of the camera tracking controller VIS-CATC-B. Step 3: Use the front panel of the conference processor and the camera remote control, keyboard or CLEACON software to set the camera tracking preset position and input the camera information according to the following steps.
