2. Configuración
Follow these steps to set up your RGBlink NDI PTZ Camera Controller.
2.1 Desembalaje e inspección inicial
- Retire con cuidado todos los componentes del embalaje.
- Verifique que todos los artículos enumerados en la lista de embalaje estén presentes.
- Inspect the controller for any signs of physical damage. If damage is found, contact your dealer immediately.
2.2 Conexión del controlador
The RGBlink NDI PTZ Camera Controller supports various connection methods for power and camera control.
- Alimentación a través de 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 corriente externo: If PoE is not available, connect the provided power adapter to the DC 12V input port and to a power outlet.
- Conexiones de la cámara:
- 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.
- Control en serie: 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 Configuración de red
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 interfaz ingresando su dirección IP en un 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 de la web interface, configure camera protocols (e.g., ONVIF, VISCA over IP) and enter camera-specific user credentials if required.
