Unpacking the NXP-PLV

1. Inspect and confirm the contents of the shipment box to verify you have

all specified parts.

2. Carefully remove the device from the shipping box.

3. Carefully peel the protective plastic cover from the LCD touchscreen.

NOTE: If the protective plastic LCD cover is not removed, the device may not

respond properly to touch points on the screen or allow proper screen

calibration.

Connecting the NXP-PLV

The NXP-PLV is intended to stand alone on a desktop or tabletop without a

bracket or support platform, but it still needs to communicate with its associated

cameras in order to function. This may be done by connecting it to a NetLinx

master or via a hub or router, but the device still needs to be powered up and

connected before it is fully functional.

1. Make sure that all data and power wiring connectors are connected to

their respective terminal locations on either the Breakout Box, Ethernet

port, or NetLinx Master.

2. Connect all data and power wiring connectors to their corresponding loca-

tions along the back of the (un-powered) PosiTrack Pilot. Verify that the

terminal end of the power cable is not connected to the a power supply

before plugging in the 2-pin power connector.

3. Test the incoming wiring by connecting the device connections to their ter-

minal locations and applying power.

4. Connect the terminal power connector on the 12 VDC-compliant power

supply (PSN4.4 recommended) and apply power.

Wiring a power connection

To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire connector with a 12 VDC-compliant

power supply (PSN4.4 recommended), the incoming PWR and GND wires

from the external source must be connected to their corresponding locations on

the connector (FIG. 3).

1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm

captive wire cable. Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the

power supply and the terminal connector.

2. Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires.

3. Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire to the external 12

VDC-compliant power supply.

Configuring Communication

Communication between the NXP-PLV panel and the Master is done using

either USB or ETHERNET (DHCP or Static IP). Ethernet communication can

be achieved through a direct connection. For more information on connecting a

NXP-PLV device to your network, refer to the NXP-PLV User Manual, available

at www.amx.com.

NOTE: USB input devices must be plugged into the rear USB connector before

the device is powered up. The device will not detect a USB connection of this

type until after the unit cycles power.

Panel Setup and System Connection

1. From the Main touchscreen page, touch the Panel Setup button to open

the Setup page.

2. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel

page) to open the Protected Setup page and display an on-screen key-

pad.

3. Enter the default password 1988 into the keypad’s password field and

press Done when finished.

4. Press the red Device Number field to open the Device Number keypad.

5. Enter a Device Number for the panel into the Device Number Keypad.

The default is 10001 and the range is from 1 - 32000.

6. Press Done to close the keypad, assign the number, and return to the

Protected Setup page.

7. Press the on-screen Reboot button to restart the device and incorporate

any changes.

8. Obtain the System Number and Master IP Address from NetLinx Studio.

This information must be specific for the system used with the configured

NXP-PLV.

9. Press the Config button on the main page to open the Panel Setup page.

10. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel

page) to open the Protected Setup page.

11. Press the System Settings button (located on the Protected Setup page)

to open the System Settings page, and begin configuring the communica-

tion settings on the device to match those of the target Master.

NOTE: The mini-USB connector MUST be plugged into an already active NXP-

PLV before the PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate

USB driver. This driver is part of both the NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4

software application installations.

Touchscreen Operation

In addition to the joystick and the side controls, the NXP-PLV has a

touchscreen and six associated Camera Station pushbuttons to control camera

movements and observe the results. Many camera and camera controller

functions, such as presets, may only be accessed through the touchscreen.

For more information on touchscreen features, refer to the NXP-PLV User

Manual, available at www.amx.com.

NOTE: Full touchscreen functionality is only available after download and

installation of the appropriate Cafe Duet module to the master controller. The

module, and the corresponding NetLinx firmware for the NXP-PLV, is available

at www.amx.com.

Presets Page

The Presets page is the first screen to appear when the NXP-PLV is first turned

on. The view screen displays a live input feed from a selected camera if the

camera is already connected to the network.

The Presets buttons at the top of the screen allow you to choose between one

of one hundred previously saved camera subjects.

The Camera Stations external pushbuttons to the left side of the touchscreen

control video feeds from up to six different camera stations: pressing a

particular button switches the device’s influence to that particular station.

Pressing the button for a camera station already selected will change the color

of the accompanying touchscreen tab from green to white, the Config button

on the left disappears, and the joystick and side controls are disabled. Click the

button a second time to re-engage the NXP-PLV.

To select a previously saved preset:

1. From the Presets page, press a button at the top of the screen to move

the camera to that preset position.

2. To view more presets, press either the left or right arrow to the sides of

the currently displayed presets. For instance, if you are already at default

presets 1 through 10, press the right button to move to presets 11 through

20, and press the left button to view presets 91 through 100.

To save a new preset or to change an existing preset to a new camera position:

1. Use the joystick to align the camera to the desired position.

2. Turn the Focus Control knob to focus the image.

3. Decide upon a Preset number to be saved.

4. Press and hold the Preset button for 3 seconds. The device will beep

twice when the preset is saved by the device.

5. Test the new preset by moving the joystick to move the camera and then

pressing the preset button. If the preset was saved, the camera should

move to the selected area.
