PrecisionHD Camera 1080p12x
The PrecisionHD Camera 1080p12x has DIP switches for video
output format setting.
NOTE: The early shipments of the Quick Set C20 came
with an interim version of the PrecisionHD Camera 1080p4x
(the PrecisionHD Camera 1080p4x*). The interim version has
DIP switches for video output format setting, see the table on
this page.
Video output formats
The DIP switches 1 to 5 set the video output format for the
camera. The DIP switches are located under the camera. The
default setting is Auto, see the table to the right.
Maximum resolution:
• 1080p60 for PrecisionHD 1080p12x zoom
• 1080p30 for PrecisionHD 1080p4x* zoom
• 1080p30 for HD-SDI**
Line voltage frequency
The camera automatically detects the line voltage frequency
when it is 50 or 60 Hz. If there is a different line voltage, you
can set the video output format to a specific value (use the DIP
switches) to override the auto frequency detection.
Set the PrecisionHD 1080p DIP switch (country specific
setting):
• 50 Hz: 00011, gives 1080p50 (720p50 for HD-SDI)
• 60 Hz: 00100, gives 1080p60 (720p60 for HD-SDI)
When using a Cisco codec, it is recomended to use 60 Hz.

The table shows the different settings avail-
able for the HDMI and the HD-SDI outputs.
Auto: Camera negotiates format over
HDMI. HD-SDI tracks HDMI and defaults to
1080p30 in absence of HDMI sync. This is
the default setting.
Software: For more on the Software control
setting, read about video mode selections
in the Appendix section. Go to:Camera
control with VISCA™ protocol.
