Introduction and connections
This device is the perfect solution for seamlessly switching multiple PTZ cameras to get the best picture
of the current speaker. The compact SDI routing switcher features 16 inputs and 16 outputs, redundant
power connections with a 2.2 inch LCD for routing label display. Routing can be performed by direct
button selection and the spin knob controller. The 3G-SDI seamless matrix switcher supports standard
3G/HD/SD SDI rates, automatic bypass of non-standard rates between 270Mbit/s and 3Gbit/s. Built-in
frame synchronizer support simultaneous input of signal of different resolution frame rates, which can
realize seamless switching without black screen. It can conveniently be controlled by front panel button
and brählerOS software via L N.

Connections
Make sure you have a suitable power supply. Connect the video switcher to a power source.
Connect the desired number of cameras to the video switcher (IN) using the 75 Ohm SDI cable -
camera 1 to input 1, camera 2 to input 2, and so on. Connect your monitor to one of the OUT
outputs (e.g. OUT8) and connect the video switcher to a computer using the brählerOS or
CamControl2 software via a network cable.
The brählerOS software typically expects the video output on OUT8 port.
The CamControl2 software can be configured to any of the outputs, e.g. OUT16.

By default the video switcher receives an IP address from the DHCP server within your network.
Both brählerOS and CamControl2 will then be able to detect the video switcher automatically and
identifies its IP address. If you have trouble in identifying the video switcher in the software, please
make sure, that the IP address and subnet mask of the switcher is properly configured and matches
with the control PC settings.
The video switcher is now ready for use and switches the video inputs according to the currently
active microphone. If you want to use additional outputs for e.g. preview monitoring, please
configure the outputs manually.
Optionally, you can connect a camera controller to the video switcher to adjust the cameras
during live operation. (Please refer to the corresponding manufacturer's manual for
information on operation.)
Operation
OperationOperation
Operation
Set the video switch on/off switch to "on" to turn on the unit. The front panel display will light. Now set
which input is to be switched to which output. First press the "IN" button of the video switch and then the
desired input (1-16). Now press the "OUT" button and select the output channel (1-16) by pressing the
corresponding button. The camera image can now be viewed on the connected screens. The display
shows to which output the respective input is connected.
Switching an input to multiple outputs: press buttons “IN; 1” an buttons “OUT; 1; 2; 3; 4” (for example).
The OUT button indicator will automatically close after 8s. When it is off, you only need to press
the OUT button again to continue the unperformed switch.
The CamControl 2 software determines which camera image is actively placed on the main output and
thus displayed.
By turning and pressing the control wheel on the front of the video switch you can set the basic settings
of the device. By pressing the wheel you reach the main menu. Here you have the following options:
System Setting
Network setting

By turning the knob you go to the corresponding menu point - by pressing you select it and change it.
