Tandberg/CISCO VTC Cameras - Stand-alone Operation?
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2021 5:54 pm
I have 2 HD VTC Cameras that have great potential (PTZ, HD Video Sensors, HDMI output), but have been unable to make them work in stand-alone mode. I do not have the original VTC control units. Photo below.
The first is a Tandberg TTC8-01 with matching TRC 3 remote control. I have tried controlling it from the serial port (9K6 and 115K2 using the codes in the manual), and also from the remote control, but it does nothing. No serial response, no reset of camera position and no HDMI output. The PCB seems to be alive inside with all power supplies intact and some of the status lights blinking.
The second is a very similar Cisco TTC8-02. The serial port does not have idle voltage on it, but occasionally it resets the camera position on power-up. Again, nothing on the HDMI.
Does anybody have any experience of making these cameras work as stand-alone HDMI PTZ cameras?
Thanks
