System information

MX Bridge
Vicon MX Hardware System Reference 2-5
• MCam(PAL) for PAL video systems
• MCam(NTSC) for NTSC video systems
MX Bridge supports only the camera frame rates supported by the
camera itself. All supported frame rates are progressive scan. In all
cases the Camera Select dial on the rear panel of the MX Bridge
must be set to the indicated setting for the camera type (for details
on this control, see MX Bridge Rear Panel on page 2-3). You can
specify the frame rates for each camera in the Vicon software. The
actual frame rates you can specify depends on the Vicon software you
are using. For details, see your software documentation.
Warning
Before adjusting the Camera Select dial on the rear of the MX Bridge, you
must first disconnect the MX Bridge unit from the Vicon MX system. Failure
to do so could result in damage to the camera.
For further details on these cameras, see the hardware user manual
for your V-series system or Vicon Online Support (VOS). For details
on obtaining information from VOS, see Appendix G Support
Resources.
