Automation Control Circuitry
What is TTL? TTL stands for Transistor-to-Transistor Logic, where the “logic” determines which values are high and low. Standardized common TTL circuits operate with a 5-volt power supply. A TTL signal is defined as low when the voltage is measured between 0.0 V and 0.8 V with respect to the ground terminal, and high when… Continue reading Automation Control Circuitry
Connecting an ExacqVision Hybrid System to a Pelco Coaxitron Translator for Analog PTZ Control
ExacqVision Hybrid servers have the ability to integrate with Pelco Coaxitron CXTA 9760 devices. This allows customers with existing Pelco PTZ cameras that are controlled through the coax with the Coaxitron protocol to be controlled using ExacqVision software. The CXTA accepts the Pelco 422 protocol from the ExacqVision server, and it outputs the data over… Continue reading Connecting an ExacqVision Hybrid System to a Pelco Coaxitron Translator for Analog PTZ Control
