2. Configuração
Follow these steps to set up your RGBlink NDI PTZ Camera Controller.
2.1 Desembalagem e Inspeção Inicial
- Remova cuidadosamente todos os componentes da embalagem.
- Verifique se todos os itens listados na lista de embalagem estão presentes.
- Inspect the controller for any signs of physical damage. If damage is found, contact your dealer immediately.
2.2 Conectando o controlador
The RGBlink NDI PTZ Camera Controller supports various connection methods for power and camera control.
- Alimentação pela Ethernet (PoE): Connect a single RJ45 Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled network switch to the controller's LAN port. This provides both power and network connectivity.
- Adaptador de energia externo: If PoE is not available, connect the provided power adapter to the DC 12V input port and to a power outlet.
- Conexões da câmera:
- Ethernet (IP Control): Connect PTZ cameras to the same network as the controller via RJ45 Ethernet cables. The controller supports VISCA over IP, ONVIF v2.42, and NDI v5.5 protocols.
- Serial Control: For cameras supporting serial communication, use RS232, RS422, or RS485 interfaces. Connect the appropriate cables from the controller's serial ports to the cameras.

2.3 Configuração de Rede
For IP-based camera control, ensure the controller and cameras are on the same network segment. The controller supports automatic detection of NDI-enabled PTZ cameras.
- Access the controller's web interface inserindo seu endereço IP em um web browser. (Refer to the device's display or network tools to find the IP address).
- The default login credentials are typically 'admin' with a blank password. It is recommended to set a strong password immediately.
- Dentro do web interface, configure camera protocols (e.g., ONVIF, VISCA over IP) and enter camera-specific user credentials if required.
