NXP-PLV Modero

PosiTrack Pilot Camera Controller

For more detailed installation, configuration, programming, file transfer, and

operating instructions, refer to the NXP-PLV Instruction Manual, available online

at www.amx.com.

Overview

The NXP-PLV Modero

PosiTrack Pilot Camera Controller (FG630-100) is an

integrated controller for use with cameras and camera positioning devices, such

as the PTE-300 PosiTrack Camera Controllers. The NXP-PLV connects to the

camera-positioning device and Central Controller via an Ethernet connection.

This connection provides control of the pan/tilt, camera, and lens. The PosiTrack

Pilot can be used in a stand-alone configuration with a Central Controller,

compatible cameras, and positioning systems, or as part of a larger AMX control

system.

Using the graphical interface on the NXP-PLV’s integrated Modero Widescreen

Touch Panel, the operator can select cameras, visually track and change their

movement, store and recall presets and adjust each camera's settings. The

controller also includes a proportional pan/tilt/zoom joystick and controls for

focus, iris and speed. With the right hand on the soft wrist pad, the operator can

also intuitively guide the camera and twist the joystick to zoom the lens in and

out. Simultaneously, the side-mounted control knobs fine-tunes focus, iris and

speed.

The NXP-PLV supports up to six cameras and is an ideal controller for AMX’s

Ethernet-based PTE-300 PosiTrack Pan/Tilt Head.

ATTENTION: Before commencing, verify you are using the latest

NetLinx Master and Modero panel firmware. Also, verify you are

using the latest versions of AMX’s NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4

programs.
