Connecting External Devices; Connecting Telemetry Cameras - Dedicated Micros D4 Anleitung

STEP 1. Connect cameras
Connect cameras to the video inputs marked VID1 to VID4. Use the bottom
row of connectors for looping through to other equipment.
Note: Remember to remove termination when using loop through.
STEP 2. Connect monitors
Connect the video output marked MON A to the Main monitor (digital playback
and multiscreens).
Connect the video output marked MON B to the optional Spot monitor
(analogue full-screen images).
STEP 3. Connect the external devices
If external devices need to be connected to D4, go to the next section –
'Connecting external devices', before proceeding to Step 4.
STEP 4. Connect power
Once the D4 is in its final position and all external devices have been fitted
and powered, connect the PSU to the rear of the unit and apply the power. The
power-up procedure may take up to one minute before D4 can be used.
will now record all cameras in a 24-hour time-lapse
mode without any further programming!

Connecting External Devices

D4 uses 485-Bus networking to interconnect Dedicated Micros products and
accessories. Storage devices can be connected to the SCSI port, and
telemetry cameras can be connected to the serial port. Devices that can be
connected to D4 include:
• Telemetry Cameras
• Storage Devices
• Alarms and Relays
• External Keyboard for Variable Speed Control
• Audio Devices
• Ethernet Networks
• Dial-up Modems
If you do not require any of the above devices to be connected to the D4,
move on to 'Configuring D4' – Page 12.

Connecting Telemetry Cameras

D4 supports serial telemetry, the brand of telemetry must be set in the 'System
Options' menu.
Serial Telemetry
D4 currently supports a number of domes using serial telemetry.
Serial telemetry requires a twisted-pair connection from the D4's serial port to
the dome. Serial telemetry can be star configured – from the D4 serial port to
each receiver, or delta configured – each receiver daisy chained together, or a
combination of the two. Each receiver needs to be addressed according to its
camera number – consult your receiver documentation for details.
Control of the telemetry is via an external keyboard connected to the D4
(DM/KBS3).
