Annex B ā PTZ Integration
This section describes the different PTZ scenarios that can be utilized with the Atomas-Mini.
Scenario 1
x Camera block connected to the video input port (YUV, LVDS, HD-SDI, MIPI)
x Camera block connected to the serial video command port
x PTZ controller connected to the serial port
x Requirements : Sensor selection from the web management interface: Configuration /
Video In / General / Select Sensor
x Requirements: PTZ protocol selection from the web management interface : Configura-
tion / Video In / PTZ
x Optional: Activation of Transparent TCP from the web management interface: Configura-
tion / Video In / Sensor
In this scenario, the firmware completely manages the video commands (ex: VISCA) and PTZ
(ex: PelcoD). PTZ can be used via the ION API, Genetec API or OnVif.
If the transparent TCP is active, it is possible to send control commands directly to the sensor.
However this mode is not efficient with regards to managing possible conflict between the PTZ
Manager and the commands sent as pass-through to the sensor.
The Transparent TCP mode is only available with camera blocks from Sony.
