The Coax Controller unit, CAC1601, is a combined coaxial telemetry transmitter, telemetry protocol converter and 16 by 4 video switcher. It allows SIEMENS Solaris™ speed domes and telemetry receivers to be controlled over the coax using up to 2 simultaneous telemetry control sources.

Over the coax telemetry control of PTZ cameras can provide major cost benefits over RS485 control by eliminating the need to run twisted pair cables for telemetry in addition to coaxial cable. This is particularly useful when upgrading existing fixed camera applications to fully functional dome systems.

Each unit accepts multi-protocol RS485 telemetry commands from up to 2 control sources and converts the command string to Molynx-C coaxial telemetry. The innovative LCD screen allows quick and simple set up, with on board test/diagnostic facilities. An integral USB port is configured to accept commands from Eventys Pro DVR, Siemens Sistore MX, or any third party PC front end delivering a supported protocol.
