Sending the Camera Feed to Camera Out

The factory default assigns the video feed from the internal camera to the graphics engine.

However, the DL2 fixture can be configured to route the camera video feed to the Camera Out

connector by setting the Control Parameter to a DMX value between 229-232.

NOTE: The internal camera video feed can be routed to either the graphic

engine or the camera out connector, it can not be applied to both at the

same time.

This setting will be retained until you change it or restore the factory

defaults.

For more information on configuring and previewing the internal camera feed, see Integrating

Controlling the Internal Camera Input

Several parameters allow you to control and apply effects to the Internal camera input.

Camera Zoom

The Camera Zoom parameter uses two DMX channels to provide 16-bit control of the camera’s

zoom function. This includes an 18× optical and 12× digital zoom for a total of 216× combined

zoom range. You can adjust the Camera Zoom parameter from In (DMX value = 0) to Out (DMX

value = 65535)

Camera Focus

The Camera Focus parameter uses two DMX channels to provide 16-bit control of the camera’s

focus function. Auto focus for the camera is active when DMX values = 0–511. The camera focus

can also be manually adjusted from In (Far End) DMX value = 512 to Out (Near End) DMX value

= 65535.

IR Illuminator

The DL.2 fixture is equipped with an illuminator that can output infrared (IR) light. The

Illuminator parameter controls both the IR illuminator output and the camera’s infrared

sensing option. DMX values = 0 – 63 turn the illuminator off and set the camera to sense the

visible light spectrum. From DMX values = 64–127, the illuminator remains off, but the camera’s

Auto IR function is ON, detecting ambient infrared light in the environment. The rest of the DMX

range turns the Auto adjustment off and adjusts the amount of IR illuminator output from FULL

(DMX value = 128) to OFF (DMX value = 255).
