32DIP 2 switch

Switch 1: PANEL LIGHT switch

Turns the PANEL button lighting on or off.

Set ON (the GROUP/POSITION and CAMERA buttons light in green), or OFF.

This switch setting is valid even if you change the setting while the power is turned on.

Switch 2: L/R DIRECTION selector

You can reverse the joystick direction.

Set to ON for the reverse operation, or OFF for the standard operation.

For the standard operation, the camera is preset to face toward the right (left) when the joystick is inclined to the right (left). For the reverse operation, the camera is preset to face toward the right (left) when the joystick is inclined to the left (right).

This switch setting is valid even if you change the setting while the power is turned on.

Switch 3: BRIGHT control function selector

Selects the function of the BRIGHT control.

Set to ON for IRIS and GAIN adjustments, or OFF for IRIS adjustment only.

Switch 4: ALL POSITION setting switch

The ALL POSITION function allows you to set the all cameras in the camera groups 15 and 16 to the same preset setting when you load the preset setting to just one camera in group 15 or 16. (Since preset setting is performed for 14 cameras sequentially, they cannot be started simultaneously.)

Set to ON to activate this function, OFF to turn this function off.

This function works only for the LAN connection.

Switch 5 to 7: Expansion switch

Set to OFF.

Complement:

Setting switch 5 to ON prevents the TALLY lamp of the camera from lighting in NORMAL TALLY, ON AIR TALLY or CONTACT (TALLY) mode.

Switch 8: Setting update mode switch

Set to ON to active the setting update mode. When set to ON, you can set and change the camera table from the setting software “RM-IP Setup Tool,” and check the firmware version of the unit.

Once the firmware version verification or camera table re-write is done, make sure to set to OFF to use.

Connections and Operations

Connections

This section focuses on the connection examples for the BRC-H900 camera. For connections with other cameras, refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the camera you will connect.

Select the IP, RS-232C, or RS-422 connection.* You cannot use multiple communication methods simultaneously.

* SRG-120DH/121DH/120DU/120DS/HD1 are not compatible with the RS-422 connection. SRG-300SE/301SE/201SE/360SHE/280SHE, BRC-X1000/H800/H780/X400/X401, or SRG-X400/201M2/X120/HD1M2 are not compatible with the RS-232C connection. BRC-H900/Z700/Z330 or SRG-300H/301H are compatible with the RS-232C/RS-422 connection.

Connecting cameras that are compatible with IP connection

IP connection of cameras, IP remote controllers, and PC

1 Connect the LAN connectors of the unit(s) and camera(s) that are compatible with IP connection by using a LAN cable.

You can connect up to 112 cameras and five IP remote controllers on the same network.

Note

When you connect the LAN cable of the unit to a peripheral device, use a shielded-type cable to prevent malfunction that may result from radiation noise.

2 Connect the PC for the IP setting on the same network.

• Use a LAN cable (category 5 or higher).
• Connect the cameras, IP remote controllers, and PC via a commercially available switching hub (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX). Using on a line of a packet loss or delay may cause a malfunction. Use a high quality network.

• Do not mix 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX in the network.

• The IP address is set at the factory to 192.168.0.10 for RM-IP10, and 192.168.0.100 for BRBK-IP10/BRBK-IP7Z.

• Network delay happens when stacking the switching hubs. We recommend that stacked switching hubs are limited to two.
• When connecting the LAN connectors of the IP remote controller and camera directly without using a switching hub, use a LAN crossover cable.
• Camera number 1 of camera group number 1 is selected and its IP address is set to 192.168.0.100 at the factory.

Notes

• Do not connect more than 112 cameras, five IP remote controllers, and one PC for IP setting, even if controlling a camera that is on a network of a different segment via a router. If you connect more than this or different types of network equipment, problems may occur, such as delay or IP addresses are not set because of IP address duplication.
• If you perform the setting from multiple PCs by using the setting software “RM-IP Setup Tool,” the setting may not be made correctly. Perform the setting from one PC.
• Set the PC so that only the network that you use is enabled.
• Cameras and IP remote controllers cannot be connected to the public network.

3 Connect the camera and IP remote controller to AC outlets by using the supplied AC adaptors and AC power cords.

The camera will automatically pan and tilt, and reset to the position stored in position 1 (Pan/tilt reset action).

Note

Set DIP1 switch 1 to OFF for IP connection (page 9).

1 Set the DIP 2 switch 8 to ON to perform settings of cameras and IP remote controllers (Setting update mode). Then turn the unit on by pressing the ⏻ switch.

The GROUP/POSITION and CAMERA buttons flash in green while the unit is in the setting update mode.

Notes

• Keep all the cameras and IP remote controllers turned on while setting. Do not turn off any camera or IP remote controller while setting.
• When turning on the unit, do not touch the joystick until the GROUP/POSITION and CAMERA buttons start flashing in green (for detecting an origin point).
• When turning on the unit, do not operate the unit until the GROUP/POSITION and CAMERA buttons start flashing in green.

When you use the signal of the TALLY/CONTACT connector in the NORMAL TALLY mode, the selected camera may be changed by this signal. To prevent this, remove the connection of the TALLY/CONTACT connector or set to the ON AIR TALLY mode.

2 Perform the following settings from the PC by using the setting software "RM-IP Setup Tool." For details on the settings, refer to the "RM-IP Setup Tool guide."

Note

Until about 35 seconds after a camera turns on or is rebooted, settings cannot be changed.

• Set the IP address* and name of the IP remote controller
• Assign each camera to a camera number (CAMERA button), and the camera group number (GROUP/POSITION button) that the camera number belongs to (7 camera numbers in each of 16 camera group numbers, a total of up to 112 cameras). (Camera table setting)**

* If there is a different segment, connect the PC to that segment and perform the settings. If you do not use a gateway, set "Gateway address" to 0.0.0.0.
**To assign a camera of a different segment, use the Export function of "RM-IP Setup Tool."

• Create a "Camera List" csv file for each segment.

• Create a "Camera Table" csv file for the IP remote controller that you want to assign.

• Open all the csv files that you created with a text editor, then add the required information to "Camera Table" from "Camera List."

• Import the created "Camera Table" to the IP remote controller by using the Import function.

"Unknown camera is assigned." is displayed on "RM-IP Setup Tool" for devices with different segments.

After setting the camera table, make sure that the relation between the camera and the corresponding camera number and camera group number, by operating with the joystick.* If not correct, set the camera table again by using the setting software "RM-IP Setup Tool."

* When the IP remote controller is moved to the different segment, make sure that “Gateway address” is changed.

Troubleshooting

Before bringing in your unit for service, check the following as a guide to troubleshoot the problem. If the problem cannot be corrected, consult with your Sony dealer.

Symptom Cause Remedy
The power of the unit is not turned on. The AC power adaptor is not connected to the DC IN 12V jack firmly.	Insert the power cord firmly as far as it will go.
	The AC power cord is not inserted firmly into the AC power adaptor or the AC outlet.	Insert the power cord firmly as far as it will go.
The camera cannot be operated with the unit.	Communication setting is not correct. Select the proper setting with the DIP switch on the bottom of the unit (page 9). Select one of the LAN, RS-232C, and RS-422 connection.
	The communication baud rate setting of the camera and the unit differ. (When connecting with RS-232C/RS-422.)	Select the communication baud rate, 9,600 bps or 38,400 bps, with the DIP switch on the unit (page 9) which is selected on the camera.
	The connection using the VISCA RS-422 connectors is not correctly made. (When connecting with RS-422.)	Check that the connection to the VISCA RS-422 connectors is correctly made, and the RS-422 cable is properly connected.
The unit cannot be operated at all.	—	Pull out the plug of the power cord from the AC outlet, then reinsert it into the AC outlet after a while.
The IP remote controller setting cannot be changed from the setting software “RM-IP Setup Tool.”	The IP remote controller is not set to the setting update mode.	Set the IP remote controller to the setting update mode by using the DIP switch on the bottom of the unit (page 9).
The GROUP/POSITION and CAMERA buttons flash in green.	The IP remote controller is set to the setting update mode.	Cancel the setting update mode by using the DIP switch on the bottom of the unit (page 9).
The KNOB/JOYSTICK indicators do not light, or the lighting order is different.	The LOCK button function setting is not correct.	Check the setting of the DIP switch on the bottom of the unit (page 9).
The joystick and PAN TILT and MENU buttons cannot be operated.	The LOCK function is on. Cancel the LOCK function by pressing the LOCK button.
The GROUP/POSITION and SELECT buttons cannot be operated.	You are not using the IP connection. These buttons work for the IP connection only.
