position with the lens facing front. However, if preset 0 is set, it will return to
the 0th preset position.
3.2 Video Output
You are allowed to view the camera video via Ethernet and HDBaseT ports.
Ethernet Port
Follow the instructions below to view your video on the web user interface.
1. Connect the PTC-140T to the PC/Notebook using an Ethernet cable.
2. On your PC/Notebook, open the web browser and enter the camera’s
default IP address into the address bar (default static IP address is
192.168.5.163).
3. On the Login page enter the username and password which are
admin/admin respectively by default.
Connect the DC 12 V
power adapter

18
4. Click into the preview window on which the video will be displayed.
HDBaseT Port
Follow the instructions below to view your video on an externally connected
monitor via the HDBaseT port.
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the PTC-140T’s HDBaseT port to the
HDBaseT port of the receiver box.
2. Connect the HDMI OUT port of the receiver box to the HDMI port of an
external monitor.
3. Connect the camera power to view the camera video on the connected
monitor.
3.3 Connect to HS-1600T HDBaseT Portable Video
Streaming Studio
The PTC-140T can be connected to the HS-1600T 4 Channel HD/SD HDBaseT
Portable Video Streaming Studio via HDBaseT. Simply connect the HDBaseT
ports on two ends with an Ethernet cable (See Example Setup).
Please note that the baud rate of the HDBaseT port on the HS-1600T has been
fixed at 38400 and cannot be changed by the user. The default baud rate of the
PTC-140T camera is also 38400 so if your camera is new and it’s your first time
using the device, you can simply connect the PTC-140T to the HS-1600T
without making any change to the baud rate.
However if your PTC-140T has been used somewhere else with a different
baud rate, you can access the camera’s OSD menu to change it back to 38400.
Simply follow the menu path “Setup Baud Rate”then select 38400. Also
make sure the protocol under the Setup sub menu has been set to Auto.

19
After the PTC-140T has successfully established connection with the HS-1600T,
you have to make sure the camera video has the same video format as the
switcher’s PGM OUT resolution.
On the HS-1600T, press the MENU button on the keyboard to open the OSD
menu where you should find the switcher’s PGM OUT resolution. Then follow
the menu path, Camera PTC-140T Video Video Format, to set the
camera video format to the PGM OUT resolution. Remember to save the new
setting by selecting “Save” in Save Setup of the Setup sub menu.
