COMMUNICATION

Communication Menu allows you to set a unique identification for the camera (or a group of cameras) when

operating in command and control communications network. Parameters are NAME, GROUP, TARGET, set a

SERIAL PROTOCOL, ENABLE DHCP, C2C or EXT, IP ADDRESS, NETMASK and GATEWAY. Using the serial

port or a direct Ethernet interconnect, two cameras, or one camera and one external device can be

connected. If the camera is connected via Ethernet to a hub or router, multiple cameras and devices can

communicate to each other.

NAME

Allows the user to create a unique camera NAME used in network communications

NOTE: The camera name field is limited to 8 characters.

GROUP

A camera can also be identified as a member of a GROUP of devices. (For example, a group "3DRIG_A"

could include two cameras "CAM_A_L" and "CAM_A_R"). The default group is named "DEFAULT". Group

names (like camera Names) can be used to uniquely address commands to a specific group of networked

cameras. Note: the group name is limited to 8 characters, default name is DEFAULT.

TARGET

Using TARGET the user can specify if this camera can send commands to ALL devices on the network, to

NONE of the devices on the network (meaning the camera will only listen to messages and not originate

messages) or to a specific TARGET device - which can either be the NAME of a specific camera or device or

a name of a GROUP of cameras or devices.

This structure allows for a lot of flexibility. For example on a multi-rig 3D shoot the user can either send

commands to an individual camera (e.g. Set CAM_A_L to 1/48th exposure), to a group of cameras (e.g. Set

"3DRIG_A" to 48 FPS), or to all cameras (e.g. Start Recording on all cameras). It is important to note that

with the exception of the NONE setting, all command filtering is happening on the receiver side of the
