Great video man. Very helpful. Greetings from Bogota, Colombia

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnravi1683]

Hi Monte, It was a great video! My nephew is starting with a photography course and I have been looking for helpful videos to share with him. I am sure he will find this video very helpful. Learning from this video will also help me connect with him better. Thanks a lot for this share, it will help a lot of people who are looking for guidance. I will definitely pass it along in my network and I hope it find the right people.

Good job i am from Haiti

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Thanks for watching

Once you hook up the camera, how can you get good audio sounds to go to your live screen from the camera

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

There are some other videos on the channel that focus on the audio connections such as this one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGfMiZihqc-SgM0si=xez31IIj7aRAitM8

Do i need a video switcher alongside the super joy controller ?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

You don’t. I video switcher does allow you to easily view all your camera inputs so that you can move your cameras while in preview and not moving the “live camera”

[@TungNguyen-ke7vb]

Thanks

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

hopefully the video was helpful in your PTZ networking assignment! :)

[@bengoodman1435]

Thanks for the setup video, can you do a video on how to setup zone pattern and recall, auto pan from zone a to zone b with speed control or time control, thanks

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I’ve already done a video for “PRESETS” … it should’ve been on the end screen if this video.

[@bengoodman1435]

@@MonteWeaverofficial I saw the easy presets 123 video 3wk ago, am talking about to set zone patrol from presets 1 to 2 just as you can manually pan and zoom the camera from one point or presets 1 to second position or presets 2 , thanks 😊

[@SammyBeatts]

We have a PTZ camera, would we be able to connect a different brand camera such as Sony or canon to do this?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Connect it to what exactly?

[@monstudiotv]

Hello. Thanks for your vidéo. If i Want to Connect caméra ndi on the thé same Network as my pc do i configure pc in first and after caméras?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I would configure your computer 1st then the cameras.

[@alfredolx1]

Should i put the POE switch to 24 or 48 volts? Thanks

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

It depends on the requirements of the equipment that you are plugging into it.

[@Capriartmedia]

If I have 2 ptz cameras with just the serial input with no output how do i daisy chain them?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

At least on of the PTZ cameras needs to have an input AND output port. (RS232) - If your cameras only have input serial ports, you’ll need to replace your cameras!

[@gladiusworldseries]

Hello, I would also like to get in touch with you, I want to do a set-up for streaming with 4/5 cameras and I also need more information from you

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

My calendar is closed for consultations for the rest of this yr. Maybe I can do a live stream on Amazon and answer questions there.

[@gladiusworldseries]

@@MonteWeaverofficial thank you

[@ryanmangion1551]

I have a question. I never used PTZ cameras and I'm interested in the idea of using them to record various live preachers on stage which may be at times energetic and move around the stage a lot. The idea is to have 3 or more cams so I can switch between them. The question is, how does one prepare the next shot correctly if a camera is currently already being moved around using the joystick? I'm used to having people behind the cams who would do that for me but this is the only thing I don't understand with PTZs.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Great question and definitely worthy of a video to better understand. The best way in my opinion is to have a video switcher that allows for preview and program such as the ATEM Mini Pro Extreme - amzn.to/3LlML9H - The PREVIEW side will allow you to see all the inputs. Because you're able to see all the inputs; you can setup your next video shot without the camera movements being seen to the LIVE audience. Once you've set the next preview shot and visually see it on your PREVIEW side in the correct position, then you can cut to your camera shot because its ready to go.

[@popoola_akanji]

Thanks for sharing this information My question is, what specification of laptop can be used with a 4 channel video switcher? My name is kelvin Oladayo from lagos, NG

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

The video switchers I use are connected to laptops via a usb port ... that's it ... a laptop with a usb port.

[@popoola_akanji]

@@MonteWeaverofficial ok thanks, what I mean is the minimum required RAM or graphics cards for all this works Or does the switcher takes care of the workload instead of the laptop Meaning any system capable of operating vmix, obs and other streaming software is good for the job?

[@brothermarlon]

You said power over ethernet, but where does the power come from? A switch?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Yes. Power delivered through network switch.

[@Xboxers]

What PTZ camera would you recommend for live streaming table-rounds and webinars? Does it makes sense to go for a 4K camera? Last question: do you have any experience with the new RGBLink Vue camera?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

My answer is the best PTZ for the use case. Without knowing a budget, infrastructure to support 4K, setup such as serial or NDI .. if difficult to provide an answer to that question. I have not used the RGBLink Vue camera. Hopefully each video I upload gets that all important "thumbs up" button and more viewers actually click "SUBSCRIBE" I can have more manufacturers such as RGBLink provide equipment along with the financial compensation that would allow me the time to test, record, edit and provide more videos on KZbin.

[@Xboxers]

@@MonteWeaverofficial budget it's about 2k dollars per camera. We'll still have to built a desktop rig so we can built that with 4k support. We're looking into NDI but I have yet to figure out weither this would work good in mobile set-up within a company network. So probally a cam with multi output is the best.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I haven’t used any 4K PTZ cameras, I would like too, that would definitely max out your budget. One reason I personally haven’t gone 4K PTZ cameras yet is because my ATEM limits to 1080p Budget PTZ … AVKANS, PTZ Optics, BZB Gear have all been NDI PTZ cameras (1080p) that work well for me.

[@abdiascomunications1244]

the power camera you use ethernet cable but i dont see from where you conect

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

There’s is only 1 Ethernet connection - there is only place to connect so you’ll be able to see it with your cable when you look to connect it on your camera.

[@chrisw1462]

If you're using PoE, why not use the network to control them as well??? The RS-232 is another wire that's totally unneeded.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Yes you can do that. Meaning different setups types. These videos are demos, not the only way to do it.

[@joshuahbogus7056]

Where are the Ethernet cables plugged into that provides the power?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

The actual network switch … a POE switch provides power through the Ethernet connection

[@go2media446]

You dont explain where the poe cables are going to....one end to the back of the camera but the other end goes where???

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I don’t explain it because the only place an Ethernet cable would go is onto a poe switch, plus I’ve mentioned that in multiple videos and livestreams. Can’t say everything in every video.

[@brothermarlon]

@@MonteWeaverofficial I just said the same thing above...this is my first video I'm seeing from you so I wasn't aware of you saying that before. I figured it goes to the switch but I wanted to be sure.

[@joaomonteiro3865]

Why did you connect to the internet on these cameras?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Not sure of your question. Can you clarify. These were connected to the internal network to access to the cameras

[@joaomonteiro3865]

Hi thanks for the reply. did you connect the power supply to the internet? how many cameras can i connect through rs232?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

@@joaomonteiro3865 I did a series of videos, the ones after this video should answer your questions. Power is supplied through the POE switch and via RS232 I believe you can connect up to 99 cameras - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWjakmOwg8pprtE

[@PoxyBear]

The easiest way to do this is connecting EVERYTHING including the controller to a network switch using Cat5e and above ethernet cable.
