Camera Control Methods through the Decoder

Dante AV decoder has two ways of controlling the Dante AV camera. This section describes ways of controlling the camera with typical system examples and the required components of each system.

1. Use the Infrared Remote Controller to control
2. Use Keyboard Controller RS-422 to control.

Using Infrared Remote Controller via Decoder

Dante AV decoder is equipped with infrared receiver head, allowing control signals from the infrared controller to be received and forwarded to the camera that has been installed at the other end point. This enables the use of an infrared remote controller to control the Dante AV camera through the decoder.
The Dante AV camera may be installed at a remote site with the decoder placed in the control room. This setup allows the administrator in the control room to be able to use the Dante AV decoder, to decode the camera’s video stream, and output it to the HDMI monitor. Meanwhile, the same administrator can use Infrared Remote Controller to control the remote location’s camera through the Dante AV decoder.

1. When Bolin Dante AV decoder is used, the decoder has camera IR receiver built in. At the remote site where the decoder is connected to the displayer, use IR remote controller to control the PTZ camera via decoder

How to use IR remote controller to remotely control the PTZ camera via Dante AV decoder

1. Use the IR remote controller to control the PTZ camera directly aiming to the camera.

2. Go to camera OSD setting, set the IR-RECEIVE to OFF.

3. Dante Controller serial RS422 routing check.

4. The ‘RS-422’ ancillary channel on the Bolin-PTZ-Camera-D220 receiver is subscribed to the equivalent channels on the Bolin-Decoder-D10H transmitter.
   These subscriptions would enable serial control RS-422 on the transmitter (decoder) via the Serial control ports RS-422 on the receiver (camera).

5. The ‘RS-422’ ancillary channel on the Bolin-Decoder-D10H receiver is subscribed to the equivalent channels on the Bolin-PTZ-Camera-D220 transmitter.
   These subscriptions would enable serial control RS-422 on the transmitter (camera) via the Serial control ports RS-422 on the receiver (decoder).

6. It is not needed to use IR subscription when you use Bolin Dante AV camera and Bolin Dante AV decoder.

7. Aim IR remote controller to decoder, you can control the Dante AV PTZ camera remotely.

8. When use IR remote controller via decoder, following features with IR control are not functional:

9. Fn + Scan

10. Fn + Left Limit

11. Fn + Right limit

12. Fn + F.Default

13. Fn + STATUS

14. Fn + Resolution

15. WB.R plus + – adjustment

16. WB.B plus + – adjustment

17. PT.S plus + – adjustment

18. Zoom S. plus + – adjustment

19. Preset S. plus + – adjustment

20. WDR plus + – adjustment

Please turn on the IR Receive in OSD, then use the IR controller directly to face the camera if you want to use above features.

When Non-Bolin Dante AV decoder is used, you may need external IR TX/RX on both encoder and decoder side to transfer IR control signal. At the remote site where the decoder is connected to the display, use IR remote controller to control the PTZ camera via decoder.

Using Keyboard Controller via Decoder

Dante AV decoder is equipped with an RS422 interface. Administrators can connect a keyboard controller to the decoder’s RS422 port, and use standard Visca RS422 protocol, to control the subscribed camera through the decoder .

RS422 (VISCA) Connection

You can use the RS422 port to connect optional controllers, such as a joystick keyboard and a PC control station, to operate and control the connected camera.
To perform pan/tilt and zoom operations use the joystick of the keyboard. Use the keyboard buttons to perform preset operations.
An application software that supports this unit is needed if using a PC station.

1. Set RS422 control method on camera Dip Switch
2. Set the same baud rate on the camera’s Dip Switch, the keyboard controller, and the Dante AV decoder.
3. Reboot the camera once after the Dip Switch has been set up properly.
4. Use the RJ45 to RS422 control cable to connect the decoder with the keyboard controller. The controller must be VISCA compatible.
5. The connection of Sony keyboard is different than other VISCA (Non-Sony) keyboards.
6. Use the included RJ45 to RS422 Phoenix connecter adaptor to make RS422 connection.
7. Or you can use CAT5/6 T-568B Standard Ethernet cable to direct connect between the decoder and the keyboard controller by making RS422 connection with the pin definition below.

Use serial control over Dante AV network, you need to setup Serial Config and run routing check within Dante Controller.

• Set up Serial Config Tab within Dante Controller

Dante Controller serial RS422 routing check

• The ‘RS-422’ ancillary channel on the Bolin-PTZ-Camera-D220 receiver is subscribed to the equivalent channels on the Bolin-Decoder-D10H transmitter.
  • These subscriptions would enable serial control RS-422 on the transmitter (decoder) via the Serial control ports RS-422 on the receiver (camera).
• The ‘RS-422’ ancillary channel on the Bolin-Decoder-D10H receiver is subscribed to the equivalent channels on the Bolin-PTZ-Camera-D220 transmitter.
  • These subscriptions would enable serial control RS-422 on the transmitter (camera) via the Serial control ports RS-422 on the receiver (decoder).
• It is not needed to use IR subscription when you use Bolin Dante AV camera and Bolin Dante AV decoder.

Connectors and Interfaces

USB Interface

USB control over IP allows you to use a USB mouse and/or keyboard to control a remote computer via the Dante network, this function needs to work together with Dante AV encoder.

How to setup

• On the Dante AV decoder, connect a keyboard to USB 1 and a mouse to USB 2.
• Connect a USB cable (male type A USB to male mini-USB) from a USB port on the PC host to the USB OTG port on the Dante AV encoder.
• Open the Windows Device Manager and verify that you see the keyboard and mouse.
• Using Dante Controller, make the following subscriptions (two subscriptions are required, as the USB channel is bidirectional):
  • Subscribe the USB channel on the encoder to USB channel on the decoder
  • Subscribe the USB channel on the decoder to USB channel on the encoder

After the above setup, the keyboard and/or mouse connected to the decoder can control the PC connected to the encoder.

NOTE : The USB interface on the decoder can only be used for keyboard and mouse connections. USB flash drives / hard drives are not supported.

The diagram below illustrates the example setup described above.

Infrared Interface

Infrared control over IP allows an IR controller to remotely control a device via the Dante network. The decoder equipped with 3.5mm jacks for infrared control over IP, right side is TX and left side is RX.
This function needs to work together with the Dante AV encoder.

How to setup

• Connect the IR transmitter to the IR TX port located on the encoder’s front panel
• Connect the IR receiver to the IR RX port located on the decoder front panel
• Using the Dante Controller, subscribe IR channel on the encoder to IR channel on the decoder. (In this instance, the IR signal is being passed from the decoder across the network to the encoder.) //Should verify the TX and RX phrasing

The diagram below illustrates the example setup described above.
