ADD AN ASCII CAMERA
The Pelco ASCII device driver controls cameras routed through a Pelco matrix switcher using the Pelco ASCII protocol.
The Pelco ASCII device driver supports the following cameras:
Any fixed camera
Pelco Spectra II
Pelco Spectra III
Pelco Esprit
Before you can add an ASCII camera to the server configuration, you must first start the ASCII device driver—either on the server workstation or
on the network—and then add the driver to the server configuration. Refer to the Device Drivers section for instructions.
1. Navigate the Object Browser tree to [project name] > Device Drivers > Pelco ASCII Driver > Cameras.
2. Double-click <Add New Device>. The Add New Camera dialog box appears.
You can also configure camera settings after you have added the camera to the server configuration. Right-click the camera, and then select
Edit from the pop-up menu. The Edit Properties dialog box appears, which contains the same tabs and fields as the Add New Camera dialog
box.
3. Configure the camera settings, as described in the following sections.
4. Click OK to close the Add New Device dialog box.
5. Configure the analog connections between the switcher, cameras, and output devices. Refer to the ASCII Connections section.
