COMMUNICATION
NOTE: CTRL and GIG-E ports are only available on select DSMC2 expanders. For more information, go to “Input/
Output Connectors” on page 167.
Use the Communication menu to allow one (1) or more cameras to communicate with each other or external
devices.
You can use the serial port or a direct Ethernet cable to connect two (2) cameras, or one (1) camera and one
(1) external device. If the camera is connected via Ethernet to a hub or router, multiple cameras and devices
can communicate with each other.
For example, on a multi-rig 3D shoot, you can send commands to an individual camera (Example: Set CAM_A_L
to 1/48 exposure), to a group of cameras (Example: Set 3DRIG_A to 48 fps), or to all cameras (Example: Start
Recording on all cameras).
CAMERA NAME
Use the Camera menu to set up a unique identifier for your camera (or a group of cameras). All command
filtering happens on the receiver side of the communication link. Use camera names and group names to
address commands to a specific camera or group of networked cameras.
Camera ID: Enter a unique camera name to use in network communications. The field is limited to eight (8)
characters.
Group ID: Enter a group name to identify the camera as a member of a group of devices. The field is limited
to eight (8) characters, and the default name is DEFAULT.
Target: Specify which devices the camera can send commands to:
‒ All: The camera can send commands to all devices on the network.
‒ None: The camera can only receive commands. The camera cannot send commands.
‒ Custom: The camera can send commands to a specific camera/device (enter the name of the camera/
device in the Target ID text box) or a specific group (enter the name of the group in the Target ID text
box). The camera/group name must match the name entered in the Name/Group field of the target
device(s).
