Camera Operation
Setting up the Camera
For the operation, only power and one SDI output must be connected. The remote
control via RS485 is optional. The camera will automatically start with its
last configuration (auto_save must be enabled, or the user must save the
settings manually after making changes). The starting time of the camera is ~3
seconds.
The status of the camera can be seen with the status LED on the back side.
- Purple blinking: Boot
- Blue blinking: Ready
- Yellow blinking: Busy
- Red: Firmware update
- Red / Yellow toggle: Over Temperature (see next chapter)
Cooling
The camera does have an over temperature protection mechanism. As soon as the
internal temperature goes above 90 °C the device will enter a safe mode to
cool down. It will signal the safe mode by toggling the status LED between red
and yellow. The camera will resume operation when the temperature drops below
50 °C. Alternatively you can power-cycle the device, but keep in mind that
without cooling down the camera will probably enter the safe mode again after
a very short time.
Remote Control
The serial RS485 port can be used to control the camera.
All commands are text based. Details can be found in the “ATOM one_mini Zoom –
Reference Manual”. By using a RS485 to USB converter the Windows ProVideo
software can be used to configure the camera with an easy to use GUI.
ProVideo Control Software
The ATOM one mini Zoom comes with a free Windows control software. The
ProVideo camera control software gives an easy access to most of the camera
functions. To use the software you need a serial connection from ATOM one mini
Zoom to a Windows PC. This can be done with a USB – RS485 adapter. You can
build your own adapter with a serial FTDI cable or purchase a cable from Dream
Chip.
The ProVideo GUI is an open source software which is hosted on GitLab. The
latest release of the Windows version of the software can be downloaded here:
https://gitlab.com/dreamchip/provideo-downloads
If you wish to use the GUI as the starting point of your own control software
feel free to download the source code. Details can be found here:

FAQ
The camera does not respond to serial commands
Make sure, your cables are connected correctly. Check you baud rate, the
default is 115200 8N1.
Is there a hardware camera controller available
Currently, Dream Chip does not provide a hardware camera controller, but 3rd
party controllers are available in the market. A free Windows software and a
full API documentation comes with the camera. With this documentation you may
adapt the camera to your existing controller.
Where can I find firmware updates for my camera?
