3.5 Setting up intercom
The studio camera systems offer extensive intercom facilities between camera operator (plus
tracker) and XCU (studio). To help you set up and operate the intercom system, the following
controls are available:
• XCU menu system
• Camera head menu system
• Camera rear panel
• Camera head switches
When setting up a system it is more convenient to use an OCP 400 or Camera Connect to set
your preferences in both the XCU and camera head menus.
Intercom settings are stored in the non-volatile memory of the cradle so they keep tied to the
rack position along with the intercom wiring.
3.5.1 Studio interface setup
Intercom source selection
In the AUDIO/INTERCOM > INTERCOM menu, use SOURCE to select the source for the
intercom system (valid for all channels).
• Analog — intercom channels come from the 15-pin SubD XCU intercom connector at the
back panel of the XCU. Refer to
“Intercom connector” on page 102.
• Ext1 — intercom channels come from embedded SDI audio of external video input 1
(EXT1).
The AUD2IP and IP2AUD mapping structure below is used for embedding the audio/
intercom signals into the ST2022-6 Main video and monitoring stream and for de-
embedding of the Ext1 ST2022-6 input stream:
(Audio slots 6 to 15 are unused)
Intercom wire mode

INTERCOM > INTERCOM menu, use WIRE MODE to select the wire mode the Engineering (Eng),
Production (Prod) and Program (Prog) channels. By default these values are set to four-wire.
