CAMERA CONTROL
When Camera Link mode is enabled for the Ethernet interface, COLR acts as a wireless bridge for controlling Ethernet-enabled
cameras such as the RED DSMC line, ARRI Alexa, Alexa Mini, and Amira, Vision Research Phantom, and more.
A. RED EPIC, SCARLET – After enabling Camera Link mode on COLR, there are a few settings on the camera that must be
checked. These can all be found under Settings > Setup > Communication > Ethernet. Once configured, external control
applications such as FOOLCONTROL can be used wirelessly.
1. Ensure DHCP Enable is Checked (box will be marked with an X).
2. Ensure Enable External Control is checked.
B. ARRI Alexa, Alexa Mini, Amira – No additional camera configuration is required, just enable Camera Link. Once enabled,
your ARRI camera’s web UI can be accessed by opening the Camera Link page. If the camera does not show up when the
page loads, click Browse and select your camera.
C. Phantom – No additional camera configuration is required, just enable Camera Link. Once enabled, the Phantom Camera
Control application can be used wirelessly.
D. Panasonic Varicam – Requires COLR firmware version 1.2.5 or later. If a computer with LiveGrade is connected to COLR’s
network it will detect the Varicam at COLR’s IP address. The following must be set on the camera:
1. Set Menu > Peripheral > Network Sel to LAN
2. Set Menu > Peripheral > LAN Property > DHCP to ENABLE
3. Configure a user account under Menu > Peripheral > Network Func
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
Use the network configuration menu to configure COLR’s Wi-Fi and Ethernet network interfaces.
Wi-Fi – COLR can be configured to work as an access point or connected to another network using client mode.
To Configure COLR’s WiFi, click the Edit button underneath the current status. Wi-Fi mode can be switched from the front panel.
Access Point mode – By default, COLR acts a Wi-Fi Access point. Network security, channel, and SSID are configurable from
the Network Configuration page.
Infrastructure – COLR can connect to existing networks using Infrastructure mode. After selecting Infrastructure for the Wi-
Fi mode, click Browse. Select your network, enter the password (if configured), and click Apply.
Ethernet – Configure COLR’s Ethernet interface to use DHCP (default), or enter a static IP address configuration. In addition, Camera
Link Ethernet mode can be enabled here, see above for more details.

default settings.
