Figure 29: Creating your own long VISCA cross cable
Procedure
1. Remove the camera stabilizing cartons, to avoid damage to the system.
Caution:
Do not place the camera on top of the XT Codec Unit. It can cause the system to
overheat.
2. Verify the SYSTEM SELECT switch on the back panel of the new camera is set to 7.
This is only for Premium, Advanced, and Standard II cameras.
3. Connect the DVI port on the camera to the DVI connector on the XT Codec Unit (Figure
28: Connecting an additional camera directly to the XT Series on page 63). The system
manages it as PC content.
—Or—
For the XT7000, we recommend connecting the additional camera to the HDMI 2 port on
the XT Codec Unit (located under ). This keeps the DVI or HD1 port available for a
computer connection.
4. Connect the power supply cable to the DC IN connector on the camera.
5. Plug the power supply cable into a power outlet.
6. (Optional for XT7000 and XT5000 only) To control the extra camera using the same XT
Remote Control Unit, connect one end of the crossed VISCA control cable to the additional
camera's IN (RS-232C) connector. Then connect the other end to the main camera's OUT
(RS-232C) connector (
Figure 28: Connecting an additional camera directly to the XT
Series on page 63).
7. Apply power to the camera.
