RE: New PTZ-12G Cameras

Hi Steve, Apologies for the late reply. I checked with the development team and unfortunately there is no way for us to provide any slower movement on the zoom axis via joystick control. There are just 7 speed settings for that axis, so once you hit 1, that's as slow as it's going to get. These settings ...

Hi Jonathan, Thanks for reaching out. You have come across a bit of a hidden feature there, one that I wasn't even aware was there. So this flag does indeed turn on a listener, which should allow you to select a camera, as you indicated. Just trying to pull together some instructions for you, so that ...

Hi Steve, Yes, absolutely. The custom panel you created should largely work with the new camera. You will just need to make a few tweaks to adapt to some of the differences between the two cameras. But the main functions will work. Thanks! Bruce ------------------------------ Bruce Takasaki ...

Hi Steve, I should clarify - with regards to using the old Pivot custom panel, it will ONLY work with the new camera if you're using serial control, which I assume you are not, based on your comment that you were hoping all you would need to do is change the IP address. Sorry about that, should have ...

Hi Steve, Happy New Year! thanks for reaching out. Let me try to answer all your questions in sequence: We expect to have a limited number of units available for shipment in early February. That being said, these days I'm a little hesitant to absolutely guarantee shipping dates until I see ...

Hi Chris, I'm afraid not. We currently support Sony BRC-H800, H900 and X1000 cameras, Panasonic AW-UE150 (and apparently UE100) cameras, Lumens VC-A71P and VC-A71PN cameras, and of course our own PTZ-12G and PTZ-NDI, which we just announced this week. Thanks for checking with us. if you could ...

Hi Steve, Sorry for the long wait. Please see below for answers to your questions: What are the specific steps to white balance the Pivotcam cameras? – set the camera to 'manual' white balance and frame camera on a white card, then initiate a WB. That white balance value should be retained ...

Hi Steve, Thanks for reaching out and I'm happy to hear that you've found our community pages to be helpful. I'm off at a cottage this week with poor wifi connectivity, plus I'd like to dig into a couple of your questions with some of my team before I get back to you. So apologies in advance for the ...

Hi Chris, Sorry for the very late reply. Carbonite can control Furios as well as CamBots, they just need a translation server to convert protocols. If you're still interested in adding Furios to your system, please contact tech support at techsupport@rossvideo.com and we'll get you setup. Thanks, ...

Hi Joel, There is a way to block the IRIS and Color information in the most recent version of the PIVOTCam Plugin, but not through custom controls. Thanks, ------------------------------ Bruce Takasaki Product Manager, Camera Motion Systems Ross Video Ottawa Canada ------------------------ ...

RE: OD Control VS Cambot Control

Posted By Bruce Takasaki 03-31-2021 16:13
Found In Egroup: Camera Motion Systems \ view thread
Hi Richard, Unfortunately not. OverDrive is connecting to the cameras via the MasterPanel running on your control station. So in effect, you are sharing control with OVD, where OVD takes precedence. So when OVD recalls a shot, MasterPanel must change focus to the camera that OVD is recalling the shot ...

RE: Using circular polarizer filter with PIVOTCam

Found In Egroup: Camera Motion Systems \ view thread
Hi Theodore, Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately the PIVOTCam-SE is not designed to accept a polarizing filter; there is no recess to fit the filter in, nor any threads for screwing in a filter. Maybe cutting a piece of a polarizing sheet and taping it to the front of the lens? Thanks, --- ...
