TrackVIEW and Peripherals Install Guide 

 

IR Remote Controller 

The system employs a multi-function IR remote controller for preset programming and camera control. 
 

 

Built-in EZCamera Cabling System Quick-Connect™ Box 

When using the TrackVIEW 100 and 70 the reference and tracking camera inputs have built-in Quick-
Connect boxes for running power and video over a single Cat. 5 cable.  When using the EVI-HD1 as the 
Tracking camera, the external Quick-Connect PRO and EZIM are required. 
 

 

PowerRite™ Power Supply 

The TrackVIEW internal PowerRite power supply is sized to power the five triggers (AutoVIEW IR and 
StepVIEW triggers) and two PTZ cameras in the TrackVIEW 100 and 70 systems.  The inputs also have a 
15V/18V power selection switch for Cat. 5 power/video cables to match the cameras power requirements as 
the cable distance to the camera increases (see Table 1 on pg. 9).  If the EVI-HD1 is used as the tracking 
camera, the Quick-Connect PRO and EZIM are powered by an external PowerRite 36VDC power supply. 

 

 

USB and DB-9 Connection for System Set-up and Software 

The system set-up port is on a USB connection to eliminate the need for the installer to find a laptop with a 
DB-9 RS-232 port.  The system software is intuitive and easy to use to maximize system performance and 
provide for quick set-ups.  

(Note:  USB overrides serial port.  The serial port is disabled when using USB)
