Best control options for Sony EVI-D70
Posted: Sun May 27, 2012 5:05 pm
Our stake is moving forward with the Sony EVI-D70, and the FM group has agreed to install it using his electrical contractor.
Since the camera has several connectors, I will ask them to install each, since they will be doing electrical and control, and video cables anyway.
The camera has these connections:
Composite Video: RCA (x1 Output)
S-Video: 4-Pin (x1 Output)
Control: RS-232C (x1 Input, x1 Output)
Control:RS-422 (x1 Input)
Power: Coaxial (x1 Input)
Video input will be easy, it's the control of the camera from the PC I need to nail down.
My plan is to have the contractor install a wall plate in the overflow with a serial cable, and I would plug that into the PC, and control it right there in the overflow. Power would be always on, the S-video and Composite Video would be an option too. I would also use the tripod camera that came with the building when it was completed two years ago. I will switch to the tripod camera for a wide angle view, while the Sony EVI-D70 moves into position, then move it back, avoiding the much discussed jerky movements of the camera.
Audio will plug directly into the webcaster from the building sound system, the video would go to the splitter, then the signal I chose will plug into the webcaster. The only thing left is displaying the words to the HYMNS?.....Any ideas on that one?
Attached is a photo of the location.
Thanks!
