DataVideo PTR-10 and PTC-150

Some DataVideo devices only support their proprietary DVIP protocol over the network. For connection and control using the Visca protocol from a Skaarhoj panel, an ethernet to serial converter can be used.  

   

 Ethernet to Serial connection 

 To communicate via serial (RS-485) to the camera you need an Ethernet-Serial converter. We suggest you get a TCP232-306 from USR- https://www.usriot.com/products/serial-to-ethernet-server.html  

 The TCP232-306 is not the only ethernet to serial converter that works, but is the model we tested in house with the DataVideo devices.  

 Below you will find screenshots of how to configure the USR-TCP232-306 converter (found on the web interface of the TCP232-306). Notice the IP address of the TCP232-306 (Static IP Address) must match the IP settings of the Datavideo PTC-150 Device Core. 

 

 The specific Baud Rate used is set in the Camera’s OSD.
