PTZK-VBX CONTENT
1. Overview
Multidyne Pan-Tilt-Zoom Mounting Kits use the Versatile LightBrix modular interface to securely attach
a PTZ camera onto a VB enclosure, and to a tripod or ceiling (for a fixed installation). VB enclosures
come in different sizes; currently PTZK-VB kits support VB4, VB6 & VB10 formats. Part numbers are:
•PTZK-VB10 (for VB10 enclosures)
•PTZK-VB6 (for VB6 enclosures)
•PTZK-VB4 (for VB4 enclosures)
2. PTZK-VBx content
All PTZK-VBx kits come with the same elements, which vary in size depending on the VB enclosure
format. They are:
•PTZK-VBx Camera Plate
•PTZK-VBx Tripod Plate
•Hardware Kit consisting of sixteen 4-40 x 1/4in long pan head screws

INSTALLATION
3. Installation
3.1. PTZ Camera Preparation
Most PTZ cameras are designed with mounting holes on the bottom side. The PTZK-VBx Camera
Plate has been designed to accommodate most camera brands. The first step is to attach your camera
to the PTZK-VBx Camera Plate. Screws for this are not included; you need to refer to your camera
installation instructions, which specify the type of screws and maximum penetration allowed. Once you
procure the appropriate screws, install the plate on your camera as shown in figure A.

INSTALLATION
3.2. Tripod Preparation
Next is attaching the tripod platform plate to the PTZK-VBx Tripod/Ceiling Plate. Most tripod heads
come with a sliding or quick-lock platform plate as shown on figure B below, and include the ¼-20 or
3/8-16 captive screws to attach the plate to your device. You will need nuts of the corresponding size*
to fix the platform plate to the PTZK-VBx Tripod/Ceiling Plate as shown below.
Figure B: Installing the platform plate on the PTZ camera
Note: if you plan to mount the PTZ camera to the ceiling, step 3.2 can be skipped. The PTZK-VBx
Tripod/Ceiling Plate has 4 mounting holes, one in each corner, that you can use to secure the plate to
your ceiling structure. Ensure you are securing the plate properly as the total weight of the PTZ camera
and VB enclosure is significant.
*: if using 3/8-16 captive screws, you will need a low-profile nut to fit in the space allowed.

INSTALLATION
3.3. Attaching the PTZ camera to the VB enclosure
Place the PTZ camera assembly on top of the VB enclosure. Ensure that the connector side of the
camera is on the same side as the connector side of the VB enclosure. Use eight of the sixteen 4-40 x
1.4in long pan head screws to attach them as shown on figure C. At this point you may cable the
desired connectors between the PTZ camera and the VB enclosure.

3.4. Attaching the tripod plate to the VB enclosure
Do the same thing with the tripod plate assembly and attach it to the other side of the VB enclosure
using the remaining eight 4-40 x 1/4in long pan head screws.

down.
