Crestron CPC-CAMI Pan/Tilt Camera Head with Control Interface
Pan/Tilt Camera Head with
Control Interface: CPC-CAMI
Description
Functional Description
The CPC-CAMI is an integrated pan/tilt head and network control interface
belonging to the Crestron ProCam family of network camera control. The unit has
been designed to provide control of a remotely positioned video camera site. Control
is defined as the two-axis motion of the pan/tilt unit and the focus/zoom setting of a
camera lens.
The CPC-CAMI provides exclusive SpeedSmart™ technology to assure the fastest -
yet smoothest - camera response possible. Pulse width modulation insures high
speed resolution and the unit possesses a remarkable ability to repeat preset
positions. When connected to a Crestron control system, the unit’s “whisper-quiet”
movement of a camera/lens assembly is controlled by its own built-in network
control interface.
Jumper Boards
Four supplied jumper boards permit the support of any camera/lens assembly
requiring an input voltage in the range of +/-2.5 to +/- 12 VDC. Thus a single
CPC-CAMI with its four jumpers can control nearly any camera/lens in the industry.
Refer to the table below for exact voltage outputs for each jumper board.
NOTE: If no jumper board is connected to the CPC-CAMI, the lens outputs are
disconnected.

Pan/Tilt Camera Head with Control Interface Crestron CPC-CAMI
Presets
In conjunction with the Crestron control system, the CPC-CAMI is capable of
“memorizing” pan/tilt positions and focus/zoom settings for a virtually unlimited
number of presets. Each preset stores a specific position and setting. Positional
feedback signals are essential to the implementation of presets; unless the lens
supports position mode. These analog signals, provided by the pan/tilt and lens,
indicate current pan/tilt position and focus/zoom setting.
Position/Rate Mode
Movement of the camera lens may occur in either position or rate mode. A jumper
board may be selected that best accommodates the mode parameters required by the
system. Refer to “Position/Rate Mode Definition” on page 13 for a more detailed
explanation of position and rate mode.
Physical Description
The CPC-CAMI, shown below, is housed in a black enclosure with two rotating
disks for the pan and tilt axes. A stop sensor is located on each side of the unit
having a rotating disk. Each disk has two adjustable locking screws. The disks also
feature heavy duty precision bearings for long life and minimal friction. The
interface box is affixed onto the sloping portion of the pan/tilt head. All electrical
connections are made to the interface box; refer to the silk-screened labels.

Crestron CPC-CAMI Pan/Tilt Camera Head with Control Interface
Adjustable mounting plates (flat and angled) and mounting hardware are provided
with each CPC-CAMI. The two plates can be fixed to one of the rotating disks with
the mounting hardware to provide camera/lens support. The other disk serves as a
mounting platform for the CPC-CAMI with attached camera/lens assembly.
CPC-CAMI Ports
A number of ports are located on the CPC-CAMI interface box. Each has a silk-
screened label. Refer to the illustration and descriptions after this paragraph.
CPC-CAMI Inteface Box
NET
This 6-pin, 6-position RJ11 modular jack is used to connect the CPC-CAMI to the
control system.
NOTE: Before making connections to the NET port, review the latest revision of
the Network Modular Cable Requirements (Doc. 5682). Most 4-conductor phone
cables are wired in a crisscross fashion and are not compatible with Crestron
equipment. The wiring document can be obtained from the Downloads page
(CABLES and MANUALS Libraries) of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
Search for the MODULAR.PDF file.
LENS
This DB15 female connector provides three channels for zoom, focus, and iris, as
well as additional signals depending on lens. Refer to the pinout table below. A 15-
pin D-sub male connector with hood (P/N 748048-1) is supplied and attaches to the
LENS port. To properly wire this male connector, a wiring schematic for each lens
type (A through D) follows the pinout table. Crestron maintains a limited number of
cabling drawings for lenses. Refer to “Appendix: Application Examples” on page 19
for specific pan/tilt and lens applications. The information in the appendix offers
recommended cabling connections with the appropriate lens type.

CPC-CAMI Indicators
A number of indicators are located on the CPC-CAMI interface box. Each has a silk-
screened label. Refer to the illustration shown in “CPC-CAMI Ports” on page 3 and
the descriptions after this paragraph.
POWER
This LED illuminates when 24 VDC is supplied to the CPC-CAMI.
NET
This LED illuminates when communication between the control system and the
CPC-CAMI is established. Illumination indicates that the SIMPL program currently
loaded has a network device defined at the same NET ID as the CPC-CAMI.
CALIB
Flashing LED indicates CPC-CAMI has entered calibration mode.
FZ
Indicates focus and zoom activity as the result of manual control at the unit.
CPC-CAMI Buttons
A number of buttons are located on the CPC-CAMI interface box. The purpose of
these buttons is to permit local manual operation of motor control functions when
installing the unit. Each has a silk-screened label. Refer to the illustration shown in
“CPC-CAMI Ports” on page 3 and the descriptions after this paragraph.
NOTE: Each set of up (∧) and down (∨) buttons provides dual function. For
example, the upper-most up/down button provides either pan movement of the head
or focus adjustment of the lense depending on mode.
PAN ∧(LEFT)/FOCUS ∧(IN)
This button provides either manual pan leftward movement of the camera head or
manual focus inward control of the camera lens.
PAN ∨(RIGHT)/FOCUS ∨(OUT)
This button provides either manual pan rightward movement of the camera head or
manual focus outward control of the camera lens.
TILT ∧(UP)/ZOOM ∧(IN)
This button provides either manual tilt upward control of the camera head or manual
zoom inward control of the camera lens.
TILT ∨(DOWN)/ZOOM ∨(OUT)
This button provides either manual tilt downward control of the camera head or
manual zoom outward control of the camera lens.
MODE
This button toggles between pan/tilt and zoom/focus movement.
CALIB
Depressing the TILT ∧(UP) and MODE buttons simultaneously enables the unit to
enter calibration mode.

the following two conditions: (1) these devices may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) these devices must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Setup
Camera/Lens Mounting
The CPC-CAMI is not orientation sensitive; it is possible to mount the CPC-CAMI
on either rotating disk. However, realize that the height of the two sides to which the
disks are attached are not equal. Therefore, mounting the camera/lens assembly to
the longer side allows for a greater range of motion (assuming that the CPC-CAMI
is directly mounted to a large horizontal surface).
NOTE: The CPC-CAMI has an identifying mark labeled “FRONT” on the flat
mounting plate. The camera must be mounted facing toward the “FRONT” label in
order to function properly with the camera interface controller. A travel limit of 350
degrees protects the unit from windup of cables.
To ensure best performance of the CPC-CAMI, complete the following mounting
steps in the order presented.
1. Assemble the lens and camera.
2. Position the mounting holes of the camera/lens assembly on the flat
mounting plate. Verify that the lens is facing toward the “FRONT”
label on the plate.
3. Use the supplied 1/4-20 x 1/2” hex head screw to loosely attach the
camera/lens assembly to the flat mounting plate. If necessary, use 1/4”
flat washers (two are supplied).
4. Use a round object, such as a pen or pencil, to locate the fulcrum point
at which the camera/lens assembly most closely balances (refer to the
illustration on the next page). At this location tighten the mounting
screw.
