The external devices (PAN/TILT camera heads,
lenses) are connected to the multiplexer using the RS
485 and the CAN interface. The devices are con-
nected with shielded twisted pair cable.
Basic connection of two devices on the CAN bus is
shown at figure 4. (Connection of the multiplexer and
the telemetry receiver TC is used as the example).
Length of the CAN bus can be 1000 m at maximum
and both ends of the bus must be terminated with
120
W
resistor.

Figure 5 shows the connection of other devices on the
CAN bus. It is possible to connect up to 90 devices in
this way. If you need to connect more devices, it is
necessary to use the CAN bus hub.

If it is not possible to connect the device directly to the
bus (fig. 5), you can connect it using a stub (fig. 6).
The length of one stub must be 60 m at maximum.
The whole length of all stubs must not exceed 300 m.
Other connection possibilities can be reached using
the CAN bus hub.

EXTERNAL KEYBOARD
The external keyboard enables remote controlling of
other external equipment (multiplexers, PAN/TILT
camera heads, lenses) connected to the CAN bus.
You can connect several external keyboards to CAN
bus and control different or the same devices. During
controlling of one device by several keyboards you
are able to operate controlled device by another key-
board five seconds after the last command of the pre-
vious keyboard (it is not possible to control one device
from two keyboards at the same time).
MULTIPLEXERS NETWORKING
Using the external keyboard and auxiliary video
switcher you can simply control several multiplexers
from one external keyboard. So it is possible to control
a group of multiplexers or cameras and watch their
outputs on one monitor. You can use a multiplexer
sequential switcher instead of a video switcher. At
fig. 8 you can see the use of the multiplexer no. 3
analogue sequential switcher as an auxiliary video
switcher. Video outputs of multiplexers no. 1 and 2
lead to video inputs 1 and 2 of the multiplexer no. 3.
For example, when the external keyboard starts to
control multiplexer no. 2, it also sends a command to
the multiplexer no. 3 to display output of the multi-
plexer no. 2 to the monitor. You can use the unused
video inputs of the multiplexer no. 3 for recording or
displaying on a divided monitor screen.
