The converter / translator is a microprocessor device designed to integrate Bosch CCTV system
with other Speed Dome cameras using Pelco-D or Pelco-D protocol.
High performance processor and software created in accordance with the principles of
multitasking, give an efficient configuration with fast response to control.
The converter / translator is equipped with one input port OSRD (RS-485) / Biphase for Bosch
and two independent output ports for Pelco-D and Pelco-P.
Converter Standard version can be used in CCTV systems where only one Bosch PTZ
keyboard is used. For systems with multiple PTZ keyboards LITE version should be used for
stable operation - one protocol converter per one Speed Dome.
Main features
1) Support for up to sixteen cameras (Standard version) by one converter with individually selected
addresses for each camera in the range from 1-254. One camera support for Lite version.
2) Possibility to extend up to 99 cameras by purchasing additional licenses.
3) Function of changing camera output addresses (ADDRESS SHIFT) during translation. It also allows
to cameras with DVR’s or Video Matrix using address range of 1-16383. Optional license for the
Standard version, free for the Lite version.
4) Advanced PAN / TILT Joystick Curve Correction function, individually for each camera - optional
license for the Standard version, free for the Lite version.
5) Simultaneous processing of many motion commands: Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Iris, Focus.
6) Programming and calling the PRESET and AUX functions.
7) Wide range of baud rate selection and Pelco and Bosch OSRD protocol type selection.
8) Settings and updating firmware via USB and Ewimar Firmware Upgrader / Configurator.
9) Possibility to change the firmware to others when the converter will no longer be used in the existing
system - only at the cost of the software.
Supported protocols Bosch/Philips

POWER / COMMUNICATION PORTS – Removable terminal containing converter power terminals and
RS-485 / BIPHASE communication ports. The purpose of each port is described below.
LED DIODES.
Red – depending on the settings, informs about translation and sending data to the camera or
informs about corrupted data packets / collisions, coming from the control device.
Green – depending on the settings informs about any data coming from the control device or
about the correct packets only (correct protocol and transmission parameters). Signaling that
the correct packets have been received does not mean that they will be translated, because it
also depends on settings the supported addresses by the converter.
DIP SWITCHES – Designed to switch on termination resistors for ports 1 ~ 3 and to run the converter
firmware update mode.
USB – It is designed to configure settings using the Firmware Upgrader / Configurator and to perform
software updates / changes
