Plug-and-Play Interface

Connect your compatible PTZ camera units to the RMC-180 via four RJ45 inputs on the back panel. The ports feature RS-422 interface standards and are compatible with any RJ45 cable. VISCA protocols can also be utilized by the unit. The status of the controls can be viewed via the monochrome panel display, and firmware updates can be achieved via the USB-A input.
