Dav215PA 0 Posted April 19, 2013 Please help! Hi all, I'm not a professional, just an amateur that needs help with connection issue. I am trying to control the PTZ functions of the Bosche camera autodome LTC 0809/20 with a Panasonic Digital Video Multiplexer Model WJ-FS616. My understanding is that the camera has bi-phase and rs422 connections. What I need to do is to used the Panasonic to controll the PTZ functions but it only has RS485 connections. I have video working already. I have tried connecting the RXD and TXD (Camera side) directly to the( DVR side) with T/A, T/B and R/A, RB trying all combinations. I don't know how bi-phase works nor do I know how to connect those terminals. I have also set the DVR to halp duplex and buad rate is 19.200k. I would be greatful if someone can direct me on what I need to do to get this to work.

Please let me know if this is possible and if I need to purchase any addition adapters or converters. Thank you in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropna 0 Posted April 20, 2013 You should use converters. Bosch autodome has only Biphase and RS232 ports, both with Biphase comunication protocol. You should use this converter, as an example: http://www.sennetech.net/Manuals/SCT100/sct-100-panasonic-bosch.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dav215PA 0 Posted April 23, 2013 shropna, Thank you very much for your advice, I will try to find this converter. It's really expensive on Ebay for $150 US right now, I will try to locate one used for cheaper. I found some pictures of the device, can you provide instructions on how I would go about wiring it with my Panasonic and camera? I've been reading a lot of posts and see that you've help a great number of people in this forum I wish to express my thanks for your help!

shropna 0 Posted April 23, 2013 You should find exactly SCT-100-PANASONIC-BOSCH model. Because SCT-100 is general name of this product line. Model in you foto will not work, it only looks the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dav215PA 0 Posted April 24, 2013 Okay, will do I will look for the exact Panasonic one, thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dav215PA 0 Posted May 10, 2013 I contacted Sennetech, they wanted $250 for the unit. Thats more than what I paid for the camera almost. I am better off at this point to purchase a new PTZ camera. I need a cheaper solution if anyone can suggest one. I need to control this camera's PTZ functions via biphase connections, what can I purchase to do this?
