Crestron electronic C2N-CAMIDSPT User manual

Camera Control overview
Video cameras are an integral part of today’s AV and
automation system designs, supporting videoconferencing,
broadcast, AV presentation, observation, surveillance, and
documentation purposes in boardrooms, courtrooms,
council chambers, residences, operating rooms, focus
group rooms, and houses of worship. Crestron delivers
high-performance products and solutions to streamline the
integration of today’s generation of professional cameras
as part of any complete system.
Typical Multi Camera Application
Crestron’s family of camera control products takes full
advantage of the steadfast Cresnet® control network to
support up to 252 pan/tilt heads, camera controllers, and
other devices, all under the command of a 2-Series control
system. Ethernet connectivity solutions are offered as
well to enable control over existing infrastructure from any
remote distance. User interface options are virtually unlimited,
including intuitive and reliable joystick control and extending to
color video touchpanels and Crestron’s advanced IP-based
e-Control®2 XPanel control solutions.

Camera Controller
C2N-CAMIDJ Digital Joystick Camera Controller
Cresnet® Network Control—Designed for use with the
2-Series control system, the C2N-CAMIDJ takes full
advantage of the steadfast Cresnet control network
to support up to 252 Crestron pan/tilt heads, camera
controllers, touchpanels, and other devices. When controlling
the C2N-CAMIDSPT pan/tilt head, network traffic is
minimized by storing user presets directly onboard the
pan/tilt head, minimizing the need for reporting position data
to the control system. Virtually any number of third-party
pan/tilt heads and cameras may also be controlled through
the control system using the C2N-CAMIDJ.
camera control
Ethernet connectivity can easily be attained through the
control system, enabling control over existing infrastructure
from any remote distance.
The C2N-CAMIDJ is a professional joystick controller
designed to provide a powerful yet simple user interface
for the remote operation of networked cameras and lenses.
Whether operating a single motorized camera in a council
chamber or house of worship, or controlling a campus-wide
network of multi-camera classrooms, the C2N-CAMIDJ can
be used alone or in combination with a touchpanel to
provide the perfect head end for camera control networks
of virtually any size.
Tactile pan-tilt-zoom camera and lens control
Ideally designed to support Crestron's C2N-CAMIDSPT
Digital Servo Pan/Tilt Head, it is equally well equipped to
work with third-party pan/tilt heads and integrated PTZ
cameras as part of a complete Crestron control system.
SPECIFICATIONS

CAMERA CONTROL
Pan/Tilt Head
C2N-CAMIDSPT Digital Servo Pan/Tilt Head
Cresnet® Network Control—Designed for use with the
2-Series control system, the C2N-CAMIDSPT takes full
advantage of the steadfast Cresnet control network to
support up to 252 pan/tilt heads, camera controllers,
touchpanels, and other devices. Up to 100 user presets
are stored directly onboard the pan/tilt head, significantly
reducing network traffic by minimizing the need for reporting
position data to the control system. Ethernet connectivity
is easily attained through the control system, enabling full
control over existing infrastructure from any remote distance.
Digital Servo Technology
Ultra fast, quiet, and precise pan/tilt operation
camera control
Bidirectional RS-232 and analog lens control ports
The C2N-CAMIDSPT is a state-of-the-art camera pan/tilt
head offering ultra fast, quiet and precise camera and lens
control for videoconferencing, recording, distance learning,
in-house television, and live video applications. The compact
device supports a vast range of popular cameras and lenses
weighing up to 15 lbs (6.8 kg). Full control of the pan/tilt
movement, plus camera and lens functions, can be provided
using the C2N-CAMIDJ Digital Joystick Controller or any
Crestron touchpanel or remote.
Digital Servo Technology—With pan and tilt speeds of
60 degrees per second, the C2N-CAMIDSPT offers the
fastest performance in its league. Pulse-width modulation
and digital servo technology deliver quick, smooth response
with remarkably quiet operation. Nearly 360 degrees of pan
and 180 degrees of tilt travel provide essentially limitless
movement with extremely precise positioning achieved using
digital optical encoders instead of analog potentiometers.
Adjustable hard stops on both pan and tilt axes can be set
to limit movement and prevent potential damage to the
camera and lens. Setup is made easy using the built-in
5-way mini joystick to provide local position and lens control.
Lens Personality Modules—External plug-in personality
modules define the C2N-CAMIDSPT’s lens configuration,
with modules provided for 6, 8, and 12 Volt motorized lenses
as well as 2.5 to 7.5 Volt servomotor lenses. Both “position”
and “speed” modes are available for controlling servomotor
lenses, allowing immediate movement to a specified position
as well as smooth variable speed control. Lenses equipped
with potentiometer feedback are also supported, and a fully
programmable RS-232 port is built in to provide bidirectional
communication for control of serial-controllable cameras and
double hot shoe type lenses.
Supports camera/lens combinations up to 15 lbs.
