System Configuration
Connection
The camera’s pan, tilt, zoom can be controlled with a keyboard controller by connecting a control cable (crossover
cable, RS232, RS-422/485). The Dante AV decoder can be used to decode the Dante AV camera view and output it to
a monitor via HDMI. The decoder also has an RS-422 interface, allowing a keyboard controller to control the camera that
is subscribed to the decoder. The keyboard controller can alsocontrol the camera directly through the network (by using
Visca over IP protocol).
HDMI cables, Visca control cables, and network cables are required in this configuration setup. To obtain these
third-party components or accessories, consult the dealer where you bought yourcamera.
Power
•Use only the DC power adaptor (JEITA type4) supplied with the unit. Do not use
any otherDC power adaptor.
•If using POE to power the camera, POE++ (IEEE802.3bt) is supported.
•Ensure that the POE power source has sufficient power budget to power the camera, or some features
may not function properly.
Cable Requirements
For optimal experience with Dante AV, it is recommended that the following cables are used for the
application:
•HDMI2.0 or higher (due to 4K60 and color depth concern of our Bolin Dante AV PTZ Camera)
•Cat5e or Cat6 cable
Display monitor (recommended specs)
Any regular TV monitor with HDMI video output can be used for video display.
For optimal experience with Dante AV, it is recommended that the following display be used during application
testing/use:
•A monitor with high end color support
•A monitor with 1ms response time (forlatency testing and iflatency isa concern)
•3840 x 2160 resolution (4K UHD capable device)
•HDMI 2.0 port devices
