douglasb42 0 Posted March 19, 2013 Hello All, I am so glad I found this forum. I am working with Acuix Analog PTZ that was used to replace a Kalatel. it was hooked to a old DS2 with only 1 serial port using a RS-232/485 converter from speco, It was peforming for 3 Days then stopped. I have replaced the DVR with a new Digital Sprite 2, I have spent 2 Days changing Different protocols, baud rates and Using Each of the 4 Serial ports on back. I have had no help with Either Mfg. Tech support Team. I just found a thread that stated possibly Rebooting power after you make Changes to Telemetry.... ANY IDEAS??? Thanks, Doug B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treborsz 0 Posted March 19, 2013 Both old (Legacy) and new (M2IP) Digital Sprite has RS-485 interface to connect PTZ camera... The New DS2 is equipped with two RS485 ports (Serial Ports 3 and 4) that can be used for telemetry transmission. For control you can set common protocol, for ex. Pelco P. Camera - default for Pelco P control: - baud and parity settings: SW6-1 and :ON, other: - OFF (4800 baud, no parity) - protocol settings: SW5-1, -3, -5 and -8: ON, other: OFF (Pelco P) - address (for ex. 1): SW1: 1, SW2: 0, SW3: 0, SW4: 0 - RS-485 Termination - SW1 (location: housing interface board) - depending on installation New DS2 ((ex. for cam #1 and connection to port #3): - System Oprions -> Serial & telem ports -> Edit: Port -> Serial 3 Port Usage -> Telemetry Telemetry Type -> Pelco P Baid Rate -> 4800 - Camera Setup -> Camera 1 -> Serial 3: Pelco P (ex. for cam #1) Camera can be controlled from KBS3A keyboard or via Ethernet. By the way - Legacy versions of Digital Sprite supports Pelco P only with 9600 baud rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
