GRASS VALLEY CameraMan 2018, Installation And Operation Manual

Removing the CameraMan Connector Block (Upgrade Only)

If you are performing an initial installation of a system package, as opposed to an
upgrade, this is not necessary.

Use the following procedure to remove the CameraMan Connector Block:

1. Turn the 

POWER

switch on the back of the Camera 

OFF

.

2. Disconnect all cables from the back of the camera.

3. Remove the screws that hold the connector block in place.

4. Pull the connector block out, unplugging it from the DB-37 connector. The Main

Docking Station cable plugs into this port.

Mounting the Main Docking Station

You can mount the Main Docking Station with any orientation, but you must mount it within
10' of the autoTRACK camera (use only the supplied CameraMan cable to connect the two
units). Mount the Main Docking Station using the following guidelines:

1. Mount the Main Docking Station in the desired location. Be sure to leave enough

space for access to the connections on the back panel.

2. Verify that the 

POWER

switch is 

OFF

on the front of the Main Docking Station.

3. Mount or place the CameraMan Power Supply in a convenient location near the

autoTRACK Docking station.

4. Plug the 5.5mm female connector from the power supply cord into the 

DC POWER

jack in the back of the docking station.

5. Plug the other end of the power supply into a 120 VAC outlet.
6. Connect the antennas to the appropriate connectors and position them both to point

vertically for optimum performance.

For best performance, locate the antennae in free space, at least 6" from the
camera or any wires, metal surfaces, wall, etc.

See the Main Docking Station Clearance diagram on page 24.

Multi- Camera Applications

In a multi-camera application, refer to the multi-camera section of the 

General Pan/Tilt

Operations Manual

. Follow the appropriate procedure, using the RS-485 connections on the

back of the Main Docking Station instead of the connections on the back of the camera.

Now that you’ve identified the components of your Presenter Camera System, as well as their individual buttons, ports and jacks,

you can begin connecting them to your CameraMan camera.
