External Camera Select

With a few simple steps it is easy to set up an external camera selector on your Standard or Pro Class Skaarhoj PTZ panels. This can be used to have the camera select of your PTZ panel follow along with a video router or video switcher or it could be used to set up an additional Skaarhoj panel for an expanded camera select. 

 

  1. Make sure you have connected to all your needed devices on the Home Page

  4. Input a unique number to associate with the camera.

     It is recommended to use the same number as is used for the input on the triggering device. Example if using a BMD VideoHub and the camera is Input 5, set the Ext. Cam Number to 5 as well.
