My apologies for starting this thread again, but I have not figured out
what I am doing wrong yet.<br>
<br>
We are using the Sony EVI-D30 camera for our AG node. We want to
remotely control the cameras. We decided not to use the software
method since there are so many things going on with each of the boxes we
thought it would be better to run them from a centralized HW
controller. We do not have sufficient line of sight to use the IR
remote.<br>
<br>
We chose to use the <font size=3>Telemetrics Desktop Control Panel,
CPITVD100
(<a href="http://bpgprod.sel.sony.com/bpcnav/app/99999/2/22/64885.10020.product.BPC.html" eudora="autourl">http://bpgprod.sel.sony.com/bpcnav/app/99999/2/22/64885.10020.product.BPC.html</a>).
In short this is a joystick controller for these cameras. Now the
problem starts. I am trying to daisy chain 3 of these cameras
together via the VISCA cables. We have the purchased the cables
that Sony provides and specifies for this purpose. From the
previous thread many of you sent the web address and drawings of the pin
out for the VISCA cables. I think that part has been adequately
answered. <br>
<br>
The question that I have is how do I get more than just the first camera
to work? Anybody else use the joystick method? From the
documentation for the VISCA Protocol
(<a href="http://www.vision.auc.dk/~tbm/Sony/EVID30.pdf" eudora="autourl">http://www.vision.auc.dk/~tbm/Sony/EVID30.pdf</a>)
on page 1 it shows a daisy chain setup. The part I am not
understanding is there appears to be a switch on the camera that will
allow the Tx to go to the Rx of the next camera. Is this an actual
switch? If so where is it located? Your help is
appreciated.<br>
