Digital Joystick Camera
Controller: C2N-CAMIDJ
Introduction
Functions and Features
The Crestron®C2N-CAMIDJ Digital Joystick Camera Controller (CAMIDJ) is a
professional joystick controller designed to work in a Crestron 2-Series control
system network (Cresnet®), to provide a powerful user interface for the remote
operation of networked cameras and lenses. Precise camera positioning and zoom
lens adjustment is enabled by its ergonomic 3-axis joystick with large grip and
cushioned wrist rest. Intuitive left/right and up/down movement of the joystick
delivers effortless pan and tilt control, with zoom in/out capability instantly at hand
through a simple twist of the joystick handle. Integrated thumb switches on top of the
joystick afford immediate selection between high and low speeds to ensure smooth
and accurate positioning on the fly.
The CAMIDJ’s encoder wheel provides for quick adjustment of pan, tilt, and zoom
speeds, as well as iris (aperture) and focus settings. In addition, 12 pushbuttons and
feedback LEDs are included to facilitate camera selection, preset recall, and other
custom functions.
Functional Summary
• Intuitive three-axis joystick – pan left/right, tilt up/down, twist to
zoom in/out
• Two thumb switches on joystick for high/low speed mode selection
• Six function pushbuttons
• Twelve programmable general purpose buttons for camera selection,
presets, and custom functions
• Side-mounted encoder wheel for quick adjustment of pan, tilt, and
zoom speeds plus adjustment of focus and iris (aperture)
• Precise camera positioning and zoom lens adjustment enable accurate
preset repeatability

2 •Digital Joystick Camera Controller: C2N-CAMIDJ Operations Guide - DOC. 6341
The CAMIDJ can be used alone or in combination with any Crestron touchpanel to
provide the perfect head end for camera control networks of virtually any size. The
supplied example program includes a CamiDJ Interface Module that permits control
of up to four camera pan/tilt heads. Configurations that are more extensive can be
developed using the supplied program as a model. Ideally designed to support
Crestron’s pan/tilt heads and lens interfaces, the CAMIDJ is equally well equipped to
work with third-party pan/tilt heads and integrated PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras as
part of a complete Crestron control system.
The thumb switches on the top of the joystick select either high or low speed mode.
The speed mode selected is indicated by HIGH and LOW speed mode LED
indicators. The encoder wheel is a rotating knob that allows the operator to operate
the lens focus and iris controls, and to adjust the fast and slow speed scaling values.
The function controlled by the encoder wheel is selected by pushbutton switches on
the top of the unit. For function switches PAN, TILT, and ZOOM, rotation of the
encoder wheel adjusts the high and low speed scaling for each of the functions, as
selected by the joystick thumb switches. The scaling factor is displayed as a number
from 00 to 99 on the two-digit display.
If no further adjustments are made to the wheel within approximately twenty
seconds, the wheel function returns to FOCUS (default). The setting for each speed
mode is stored independently in the control system when using the CamiDJ Interface
Module, not in the CAMIDJ. The user can switch between fast and slow modes of
control using the joystick pushbuttons.
For the FOCUS and IRIS function select buttons, the encoder wheel adjusts the lens
focus or aperture. In the CamiDJ Interface Module, when FOCUS is selected, the
two-digit display indicates “FC.” When Iris MANUAL is selected, the display
indicates “AP” (aperture). The AUTO function select switch puts the iris into auto
mode, allowing the camera to make all iris adjustments. An additional twelve general
purpose select buttons on the top panel are programmable through the Cresnet
network and can be used to control functions such as selecting the camera to be
controlled or setting and recalling presets. The buttons themselves are not
engraveable, but the Crestron Engraver program can be used to create custom labels
for the CAMIDJ to identify the switch functions.

Crestron C2N-CAMIDJ Digital Joystick Camera Controller
Operations Guide – DOC. 6341 Digital Joystick Camera Controller: C2N-CAMIDJ •7
Encoder Wheel
The encoder wheel, shown to the left, is used with the function switches to establish
speed scale factor settings for pan, tilt, and zoom operations, to adjust the iris
(aperture), and to focus the lens. The scaling factor is displayed as a number from 00
to 99 on the two-digit display. The wheel is also used to set the high and low speed
scale factor for recall of preset target views. If no further adjustments are made to the
wheel within approximately twenty seconds, the wheel function returns to FOCUS
(default). The setting for each speed mode is stored independently in the control
system when using the CamiDJ Interface Module, not in the CAMIDJ. The
clockwise/counterclockwise notations in the figure relate to outputs of the encoder, as
described in the “Input/Output Signals” topic which begins on page 17.
IRIS AUTO/MANUAL
Selecting the AUTO function switch puts the lens iris (aperture) control in auto mode
(iris is controlled by the camera).
Selecting the MANUAL function switch puts lens iris control in manual mode. In
this mode, the encoder wheel controls the lens iris.
FOCUS / ZOOM / PAN / TILT
These four function switches are used with the encoder wheel to establish speed
scale factor settings for pan, tilt, and zoom operations. Each button includes an LED
that indicates the function selected.
The FOCUS switch selects lens focus control, the default function of the encoder
wheel. The encoder wheel adjusts the aperture (if the IRIS MANUAL function is
selected). Use the joystick thumb switches to set both a high speed and a low speed
scale factor.
The ZOOM switch selects zoom speed control. The encoder wheel adjusts the zoom
speed scale factor. Use the joystick thumb switches to set both a high speed and a
low speed scale factor.
The PAN switch selects the PAN speed adjust function. The encoder wheel adjusts
the pan speed scale factor. Use the joystick thumb switches to set both a high speed
and a low speed scale factor.
The TILT switch selects the TILT speed adjust function. The encoder wheel adjusts
the tilt speed scale factor. Use the joystick thumb switches to set both a high speed
and a low speed scale factor.
Joystick
The diagram to the left illustrates the basic functions of the joystick. The user can
switch between high speed and slow speed modes of control using the joystick
thumb switches. In each operation (pan/tilt/zoom) the joystick springs back to center
position when released. The output signals of the joystick increase as you push, pull,
or twist from the center position toward the respective limits. The actual pan, tilt, and
zoom speeds depend on the speed scale settings and the speed mode selected. The
user can switch between fast and slow modes of control using the joystick
pushbuttons.

the device is being added/replaced. Refer to “Identity Code” on page 9 for detailed
information.
Industry Compliance
As of the date of manufacture, this unit has been tested and found to comply with
specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications
Compliance Labelling.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Setup
Network Wiring
CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your
installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire,
should be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to
identify performance deficiencies as a result of using improper wire.
CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to
do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.
CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to
unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power
Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system
(http://www.crestron.com/calculators).
NOTE: When installing network wiring, refer to the latest revision of the wiring
diagram(s) appropriate for your specific system configuration, available from the
Crestron website.
When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet run, the length of the run
and the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into
consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the Cresnet power
usage of each unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the
Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron
system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the
Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The length of the run in feet and the Cresnet
power usage of the run should be used in the following resistance equation to
calculate the value on the right side of the equation.
Resistance Equation

Crestron C2N-CAMIDJ Digital Joystick Camera Controller
Operations Guide – DOC. 6341 Digital Joystick Camera Controller: C2N-CAMIDJ •9
The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than
the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the following table.
Wire Gauge Values
RESISTANCE WIRE GAUGE
4 16
6 18
10 20
15 22
13 Doubled CAT5
8.7 Tripled CAT5
NOTE: All Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the
+24V conductor and the GND conductor, and the other twisted pair is the Y
conductor and the Z conductor.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to
avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on
the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends
of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.
Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining
screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
Identity Code
Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity
code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to FE. The
Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows
program. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” on page 15 for details of
the SIMPL Windows procedure.
Refer to the note on page 23 for a
definition of Viewport.
The Net ID of the CAMIDJ has been factory set to 0D. The Net IDs of multiple
CAMIDJs in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed from a personal
computer (PC) via the Crestron Viewport.
NOTE: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC and
control system, refer to “Communication Settings” on page 23. If communication
cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting Communications” section in the
latest version of the 2-Series Control System Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is
available from the Crestron website.
There are two different methods—Method A or Method B—for setting the CAMIDJ
Net IDs:
Method A (Cresnet address-settable ID), described on the next page, applies to
CAMIDJs in a Cresnet system with a 2-Series control system upgrade file (CUZ)
version prior to 3.008, but can be used with later versions of firmware and requires
that a single unit be the only network device connected to the control system.
Method B (Touch Settable IDs), which begins on the next page, applies to
CAMIDJs in a Cresnet system with 2-Series control system upgrade file (CUZ)
version 3.029 or later. These upgrades enable Touch Settable ID (TSID)
functionality, which makes it possible for the control system to recognize a network
device via its serial number, which is stored in the device’s memory. This method

Digital Joystick Camera Controller Crestron C2N-CAMIDJ
10 •Digital Joystick Camera Controller: C2N-CAMIDJ Operations Guide - DOC. 6341
does not require that any devices be disconnected from the network; Net IDs may be
set with the entire Cresnet system intact. This method requires the use of the
Crestron Viewport version 3.35 or later.
Use the appropriate method to set the CAMIDJ Net ID.
Method A (Cresnet address-settable ID)
1. Ensure that the CAMIDJ is the only device connected to the control
system.
2. Open the Crestron Viewport.
3. From the Viewport menu, select Functions | Set Network ID. The
software checks the baud rate and then opens the "Set Network ID"
window.
4. In the "Set Network ID" window, select the CAMIDJ from the Current
Network Devices text window.
5. Select the new Net ID for the CAMIDJ from the Choose the new
network ID for the selected device (Hex): text box.
6. Click Set ID to initiate the change. This will display the "ID command
has been sent" window.
7. In the "Command Complete" window, click OK.
8. In the Current Network Devices text window, verify the new Net ID
code.
9. In the "Set Network ID" window, click Close.
NOTE: The new Net ID code may also be verified by selecting Diagnostic | Report
Network Devices in the Viewport (alternately, select F4).
10. Repeat this procedure for each CAMIDJ to be added to the system.
Method B (Touch Settable IDs)
Before using this method, you should have a list of all current network devices and
their Net IDs, to avoid assigning duplicate IDs.
Set Net ID by TSID
These procedures are for TSID-enabled network devices during the initial
configuration of a Cresnet system or when such devices are being added/replaced.
1. Ensure that all CAMIDJs are connected to the control system.
2. Open the Crestron Viewport version 3.35 or later.
3. From the Viewport menu, select Functions | Assign Cresnet ID by Serial
Number. The “Set Net ID by TSID” window appears. The window is first
displayed with the data fields empty. (Refer to the following figure.)

Crestron C2N-CAMIDJ Digital Joystick Camera Controller
Operations Guide – DOC. 6341 Digital Joystick Camera Controller: C2N-CAMIDJ •11
“Set Net ID by TSID” Window
4. Click on the Search for Touch Settable Devices button. The system
searches the network and lists all TSID-enabled devices found. The list is
similar to the report produced by pressing F4 (Report Network Devices);
the first eight digits of each line constitute the TSID number (hexadecimal
form of the serial number).
5. As you enter either the serial number or TSID number of the device that
requires a change, the corresponding TSID or serial number automatically
appears in its appropriate field, and the list scrolls to and highlights the
device listing. The listing should show the device’s current Cresnet ID.
6. Enter the Cresnet ID that the device should be set to and click OK. The
number you enter should appear on the list.
CAUTION: This function does not prevent you from setting duplicate IDs. Be sure
to check current assignments before entering the desired Cresnet ID number.
Serial Number to TSID Conversion
This utility is useful in a case where there are multiple devices of the same type on a
network, you need to locate a particular one, you know the TSID but not the serial
number, and your site installation list is based on device serial numbers. In this (or
the reverse) situation, do the following:
1. Open the Crestron Viewport.
2. From the Viewport menu, select Functions | Serial Number ÅÆ TSID
Conversion Tool. The “Serial Number ÅÆTSID Conversion Tool”
window is displayed. (Refer to the following figure.)

Digital Joystick Camera Controller Crestron C2N-CAMIDJ
12 •Digital Joystick Camera Controller: C2N-CAMIDJ Operations Guide - DOC. 6341
“Serial Number to TSID Conversion Tool” Window
3. Enter the serial number or TSID number as instructed; press the appropriate
button to obtain the corresponding number.
NOTE: Enter serial numbers, including spaces, exactly as they appear on the unit
label. Alpha characters in serial numbers or TSID numbers may be entered in upper
or lower case.
Hardware Hookup
CAMIDJ hookup consists of connecting the unit to the Cresnet network using
Cresnet network cable (not supplied) and the Cresnet 4-pin mating connector
(supplied). Refer to “Network Wiring” on page 8.
NOTE: Verify that you have sufficient Cresnet power to support your net devices.
The following diagram shows a Cresnet configuration that includes the CAMIDJ and
two Crestron C2N-CAMIDSPTs. (A complete configuration for control of remote
video cameras would include distribution of the cameras’ video output to a local
video monitor or to a touchpanel that supports real-time video so you can see the
results of your setting adjustments.)

Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) can be viewed in the Online Help
section of the Crestron website. To post a question or view questions you have
submitted to Crestron’s True Blue Support, log in at http://support.crestron.com.
First-time users will need to establish a user account.
You can create a program that allows you to include the CAMIDJ in a Crestron
control system using the Crestron programming tools Crestron SystemBuilder™ and
SIMPL Windows. These tools are intended for users with different levels of
programming knowledge. The flexibility of each tool is proportional to the degree of
programming expertise (i.e., the more flexible, the more a programmer needs to
know and account for). Of course, one can initiate programming using the easiest
method (SystemBuilder) and use advanced techniques that are available from
SIMPL Windows to customize the job.
Earliest Version Software Requirements for the PC
NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage of
the most recently released features. The latest software is available from the Crestron
website.
The following are recommended software version requirements for the PC:
• SystemBuilder version 2.0 or later. Requires SIMPL Windows and
Crestron Engraver. Requires SystemBuilder templates 1.10 or later.
• SIMPL Windows version 2.05.22 or later.
Requires SIMPL+ Cross Compiler version 1.1.

14 •Digital Joystick Camera Controller: C2N-CAMIDJ Operations Guide - DOC. 6341
• Crestron Database version 16.4.4 or later. Required by SIMPL
Windows.
• Crestron Engraver version 2.3.3.2 (required if using SystemBuilder or
to produce custom labels for the programmable selection buttons).
Programming with the Crestron SystemBuilder
The easiest method of
p
rogramming, but does not
offer as much flexibility as
SIMPL Windows.
The Crestron SystemBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and
commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing, and
lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for
designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and
functionality. The Crestron SystemBuilder then programs the system, including all
touchpanel projects and control system logic.
Crestron SystemBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software
development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, Crestron Engraver,
Crestron Database, User IR Database, and User Modules Directory. Crestron
SystemBuilder accesses these tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create
robust systems.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows.
If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems.
It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces
(i.e., windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and
monitor a Crestron control system. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop
functionality in a familiar Windows®environment.
This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a CAMIDJ.
Configuration Manager is where programmers “build” a Crestron control system by
selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the
PRO2 from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper
pane of the System Views. The PRO2 with its associated communication ports is
displayed in the System Views upper pane.
PRO2 System View
The System Views lower pane displays the PRO2 system tree (refer to following
graphic). This tree can be expanded to display and configure the communications
ports.
