PTZ Camera Controls w/ Roland Video Switchers V-600HD, V-60HD, VP-42H, XS-62S, or XS-84H

Any idea when the firmware update will come out so you can control the camera with the Roland joystick?

Hello! It should work with Rolands by now. PTZOptics cameras primarily support VISCA, Pelco-D, and Pelco-P protocols for PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) control, which are standard in the industry for communication between cameras and control devices like joysticks. The ability to use a Roland joystick with a PTZOptics camera depends on several factors: Compatibility: The Roland joystick controller (likely part of a video switcher system like the Roland V-1HD or V-60HD, which includes PTZ control features) needs to support one of the PTZ protocols that PTZOptics cameras use. Roland video switchers that include PTZ control typically communicate over VISCA protocol. Connection Type: PTZOptics cameras can be controlled via IP (over a network), RS-232 (a serial connection), or RS-485 (for longer distances or daisy-chained connections). Ensure the Roland joystick controller you're referring to can output commands over one of these connection types that match your PTZOptics camera setup. Configuration: Both the PTZOptics camera and the Roland joystick (or controller) need to be properly configured to communicate. This involves setting the correct IP address and port for IP control or ensuring the correct VISCA settings for serial control, including baud rate and device ID. If you have a Roland video switcher with integrated joystick controls for PTZ cameras, it's crucial to consult the documentation for both your Roland device and your PTZOptics camera to verify compatibility and setup procedures. Some setups may require additional configuration or firmware updates to ensure smooth operation. For a direct Roland joystick controller without a switcher, the principles remain the same: check for protocol compatibility, connection options, and proper configuration. If there's a specific Roland joystick or controller model you're considering, I recommend contacting PTZOptics support or consulting Roland's product documentation for the most accurate compatibility information and setup guidance.
