Wiring
Ampiasao na ny 3-pin XLR amin'ny 2-pin tariby adapter terminal na manangana tariby mampiasa 3-pin XLR plug. Ny RS485 dia mila tariby roa fotsiny mba hifandraisana. Raha mila toro-hevitra momba ny tariby ho an'ny RS485 dia jereo ny toko 8.
Power Up
Ampifandraiso amin'ny RCP-PLUS ny famatsiana herinaratra 12V na Ethernet miaraka amin'ny PoE. Haneho ny pejy fototra ilay vondrona rehefa afaka 10 segondra eo ho eo. Misy bokotra 10 azo alaina ho an'ny fakan-tsary amin'ity vondrona ity. Mety ho izany ihany no ilaina rehefa mampiasa fifandraisana RS485. (Ny protocole Visca dia voafetra amin'ny fakantsary 7). Ny fampifandraisana IP dia mamela fakantsary 100 amin'ny pejy 10 (jereo ny Fizarana 4 etsy ambany).
Assigning a Camera to a button.
Hasongadina ny bokotra havia ambony. Raha tsy izany, tsindrio ary mihazona bokotra iray tsy misy na inona na inona mandritra ny 3 segondra ary avoaka.

Dingana 1. Press VISCA over RS485. The camera add page appears.

Dingana 2. Press Select Camera Model

Dingana 3. Select the camera model number that most closely matches the Marshall camera that is connected.

Ho an'ny example: select CV36*/CV56* when using a CV368.

Fanamarihana: Selecting Universal is only recommended for 3rd party products.
The RCP-PLUS can control only functions that exist in the attached camera even though that function may appear as a choice on the display.

Dingana 4. The RCP-PLUS assigns the first camera “Label” as 1. If the camera will be referred to as some other number during live production,the label on the button may be changed to a number or letter as desired. Press RCP Label, turn the left knob clockwise for numbers, counterclockwise for letters. Choose one. Next, press Camera ID, turn the right knob to set the ID number to match the ID number that is set in the camera. With Visca, each camera much have a unique ID number from 1 – 7.

Dingana 5. Press Select Output Format to set the desired camera output format and Frame Rate by making selections on the next page.

Dingana 6. Press Apply to make these changes active. The display will change to the White Balance page (WB is highlighted) and is ready for use.

Dingana 7. Assuming the camera is connected and powered, a quick check can be performed by pressing the OSD button, then press On. The camera’s on-screen menus should appear in the camera’s video output. Press On again once or twice to clear the menu display.
If this quick check worked, normal operation can begin by selecting the desired function from the right side of the screen (White Balance, Exposure, etc.). If the quick check did not work, check all connections,try having only one camera connected, check that the Visca ID # in the RCP-PLUS and the camera are the same, and try swapping + and – at one end of the cable.

Connecting RCP to a Network

Mifidiana DHCP na Adiresy Static

Fametrahana fomba DHCP (Adiresy IP mandeha ho azy)
Mba hifehezana ny fakantsary amin'ny alàlan'ny IP dia ilaina ny mampifandray ny RCP-PLUS amin'ny tambajotra eo an-toerana aloha. Midika izany fa manendry adiresy IP, Subnet Mask ary Gateway. Raha tsy ilaina ny adiresy Static, dia dingana tsotra ny fametrahana ny mpanara-maso amin'ny fomba DHCP (adiresy mandeha ho azy), mampifandray azy ara-batana amin'ny alàlan'ny cable CAT 5 na 6 amin'ny tambajotra ary mandroso mankany amin'ny fizarana.

Connecting Cameras via IP.
Raha hametraka ny RCP-PLUS amin'ny fomba DHCP, tsindrio eo amin'ny efamira tsy misy na inona na inona ary tsindrio ny Net. Tsindrio izao ny bokotra DHCP eo afovoan'ny efijery mba hilazana hoe DHCP ON, ary Tap Net indray.

Adiresy static
If it is desired to assign a Static IP address to the RCP-PLUS controller, this can be accomplished in either of two ways:

Through the RCP-PLUS touch screen. This method would be chosen if it is not possible to access a computer that is on the local network. Setting a network address via the touch screen will require knob turning, button tapping and some patience.
Amin'ny alalan'ny a web browser. If a network computer is available, this method is quicker as address numbers may simply be typed.

Mba hampiasana ny Web Browser, mitsambikina mankany amin'ny fizarana 5. Web Browser Setup.
To use the touch screen, continue with the steps below.

On the touch screen, tap any blank square, tap Net, then tap the DHCP button so that it says DHCP OFF.

Izany dia hahatonga ny boaty adiresy IP hanana sisintany misongadina ary ny adiresy default 192.168.2.177 dia hiseho eo. (Raha misy adiresy Static efa napetraka teo aloha dia hiseho izany adiresy izany).

Ny adiresy dia azo ovaina amin'ny fanarahana ity dingana manaraka ity:

Dingana 1. Press down on the Right Knob. An arrow will appear to the left of the address indicating that the first part of the address is to be changed. If this part of the address is OK (for example 192), avadiho ny Knob havanana mandra-pahatongan’ny zana-tsipìka manondro ny ampahany amin’ny adiresy tokony hovana.

Dingana 2. Turn the Left Knob until the desired number appears. Turn the Right Knob again to move the arrow to the next 3 digits. When the desired address has been entered, press down on the Right Knob to complete the process. This is indicated by the numbers turning white and the border around the numbers being highlighted with a color.

Dingana 3. Now, turn the Right Knob again to select Netmask or Gateway. Repeat the process above to enter new values into those boxes. Press Net again to finish. This sets the new Static address as the Default address.

Assigning Cameras via IP

Now that the RCP-PLUS is connected to the local IP network (section 4.1 above), cameras can be assigned to control buttons and labeled.

Press and release an available square button (2 seconds). The camera add page will appear.
TAP the VISCA over IP button. The message “Searching Visca IP” will appear for a moment.

An IP address will appear in a window. When more than one IP camera is on the network, tap the address to see a list of all camera addresses.
Choose the address of the camera that is to be assigned by sliding up or down on the list to highlight the desired camera.
Tap Choose to select a camera or Cancel to start again.

Dingana 1. Press Select Camera Model
Safidio ny laharan'ny modely fakan-tsary izay mifanandrify indrindra amin'ny fakantsary Marshall mifandray. Ho an'ny example: select CV37*/CV57* when using model CV374.

Fanamarihana: Selecting Universal is only recommended for 3rd party products. The RCP-PLUS can control only functions that exist in the attached camera even though that function may appear as a choice on the display.

Dingana 2. The RCP-PLUS names the first camera button label as “1”. If the camera will be referred to as some other number during live production, the label on the button may be changed to a number or letter as desired. Press RCP Label, turn the left knob clockwise for numbers, counterclockwise for letters.

Dingana 3. Press Camera ID, turn the right knob to set the ID number to match the ID number that is set in the camera. With Visca, each camera much have a unique ID number from 1 – 7. It is important that this number matches the Visca ID number set in the camera.

Dingana 4. Press Select Output Format to set the desired Output Format and Frame Rate.

Dingana 5. Press Apply to make all changes active. The display will change to the White Balance page (WB is highlighted) and is ready for use.
Confirmation: A quick check can be performed by pressing the OSD button, then press On. The camera’s on-screen menus should appear in the camera’s video output. Press On again once or twice to clear the menu display.
Raha mandeha io fisavana haingana io, dia OK ny zava-drehetra ary azo atomboka amin'ny fisafidianana ny asa irina avy eo amin'ny ilany havanana amin'ny efijery (White Balance, Exposure, sns.).

Raha tsy mandeha ny fisavana haingana, jereo ny fifandraisana rehetra, hamafiso fa avy amin'ny fakantsary fehezina ny horonan-tsary araha-maso.

Tips and Best Practices for RS485 Connections

Ny RCP-PLUS dia natao hiasa ao anatin'ny toe-javatra sarotra ary ho mora ampiharina. Lafin-javatra fototra:

Fifandraisana tsotra, tariby roa mifandanja (toy ny feo voalanjalanja). Tsy ilaina ny tariby tany.

Ny fitaovana maro dia azo ampifandraisina amin'ny tariby roa mitovy. Amin'ny ankapobeny dia tsy ilaina ny hubs, repeater mavitrika, sns.
The preferred wire type is simple twisted pair. Doorbell wire, a pair inside CAT5/6 cable, etc.
Shielded wire is OK but attaching the shield at only one end is best practice. This is especially true when cameras are powered from a different source than the controller which could lead to AC current flowing through the shield.

Ny tariby fanamafisam-peo, ny tariby AC dia tsy soso-kevitra noho ny tsy fisian'ny fihodinana. Ny fanodinkodinana dia mandà ny fitsabahana izay lasa zava-dehibe ho an'ny tariby lava.
Raha fitaovana maro no azo ampifandraisina indray mandeha, ny fampiasana ny protocol Visca dia mametra ny isan'ny fitaovana (fakan-tsary) ho 7.
Ny fifandraisana RS485 dia matetika misy soratra hoe "+" sy "-". Tsy manondro hery izany, fa polarity data ihany ka azo antoka ny mampifandray ny tariby mihemotra, tsy mandeha amin'izany fotsiny izy ireo.

Ny modely fakantsary Marshall Miniature sy Compact dia manaraka ny fitsipiky ny "plus" mankany amin'ny "plus" ary "minus" mankany amin'ny "minus". Izany hoe ny fifandraisana misy marika + amin'ny fakantsary dia tokony handeha amin'ny fifandraisana misy marika + amin'ny mpanara-maso.
Ny antony mahazatra indrindra ny fakan-tsary tsy mamaly ny controller dia ny hoe ny Visca ID # ao amin'ny fakan-tsary dia tsy mifanaraka amin'ny Visca ID # napetraka ao amin'ny controller.
The second most common reason is that the wire polarity is reversed. Some 3rd party cameras follow a + to – rule which can be confusing. This is why simply swapping the connections at one end of the wire is worth trying when an RS485 system does not work.

Raha misy fakan-tsary iray amin'ny tady mifamatotra mifamadika, dia hanakana ny fitaovana rehetra amin'ny tady tsy hifandray izany. Ny tsara indrindra dia ny mitsapa amin'ny fakan-tsary iray monja alohan'ny hametahana ny fakantsary sisa amin'ny tady.
Betsaka ny tahan'ny Baud (haingam-pandeha) azo alaina amin'ny RS485. Ny fitaovana rehetra amin'ny tady dia tsy maintsy apetraka amin'ny taha mitovy. Ny sandan'ny default dia 9600 foana. Tsy misy tena advantage to using higher Baud rates since camera control information is very small and reliability over long wire runs. undemanding. In fact, a higher Baud rate reduces
Ny fanontaniana mahazatra dia ny RS485, RS422 ary RS232 dia azo ampifandraisina miaraka. RS485 sy RS232 dia tsy mifanaraka raha tsy misy mpanova ary, na dia izany aza, dia mety tsy miara-miasa. Ny fitaovana sasany mampiasa RS422 dia hiasa amin'ny RS485. Jereo ny mpanamboatra an'ireo fitaovana ireo raha mila fanazavana fanampiny.

Ny fanaraha-maso roa dia matetika miasa amin'ny rafitra RS485 mitovy. Ny famaritana RS485 dia milaza fa azo atao izany. Na izany aza, ny protocol Visca dia mihevitra fa manana ID #0 ny mpanara-maso iray, izay mamela ID # 1-7 ho an'ny fakantsary. Mety hitranga ny fifandirana rehefa mampiasa mpanara-maso antoko fahatelo.
