Connecting a Controller to a Camera
You can connect one or more cameras to a VISCA (serial) controller.
See https://avonic.com/en/product-categorie/controllers/ for an overview of the available controllers.
A controller gives you direct control over the most important camera settings (e.g., Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Focus, White
Balance). You can access all other settings through the OSD Menu of the camera using the controller.
Connecting the camera to a local network
The camera can be connected via a serial connection to USB, HDMI, SDI, RS-232, RS-485, or via a LAN Ethernet
connection. Each of these options is outlined below.

or SDI:
1. Connect the camera to the desktop or monitor via the USB, HDMI or SDI port (see figure above).
2. Open the Windows Camera app or a third-party camera app.
3. Open the Settings.

If you use an RS232 cable for medical purposes, it is important that the maximum cable length (SDI: 100 meter,
HDMI: 15 meter and USB: 5 meter with A to A: 2 meter) must NOT be exceeded!
