SKAARHOJ DEVICE CORES

Device: Panasonic AG-CX350

Introduction

The Device Core “Panasonic CX350” is used for controlling the AG-CX350 and AG-CX10 cameras. The

goal of this manual is to help conﬁguring a SKAARHOJ interface to control features available in the Device

Core at this present time.

Multicam Control

Please notice with the release of UniSketch v2.4.16 Multicam Control have been enabled. Prior to v2.4.16

only a single camera could be controlled from the Device Core. With the update up to 4 cameras can be

controlled from a single Device Core. Please see information in the section “Multicam Control”

Setting up Camera

In order to control the camera it must be connected to the same network as your SKAARHOJ Controller..

All communication between a SKAARHOJ interface and the camera is done via IP. The implementation

have been done on version 1.01-00.0.00

SKAARHOJ DEVICE CORES

A number of actions are required for a SKAARHOJ controller to communicate with the camera. Please

follow these procedures in the MENU —> NETWORK SETTINGS. The aim of the procedures is to set a

static IP address on the camera which the SKAARHOJ controller can connect to and to create a user

account for authentication. You can use a different IP address as long as the Panasonic Device Core on the

SKAARHOJ controller reﬂects this.

Conﬁrm Connection

If the RCPv2 have come preconﬁgured with the Panasonic Conﬁguration or you have just successfully

downloaded the Firmware to the RCPv2, then it is ready to control the camera provided you have followed

the steps in the “Setting up Camera” section. It is important that the IP address you have set on the camera

matches the IP address of the Panasonic CX350 Device Core.

Connection to the camera can be conﬁrmed from the Serial Monitor with the commands as shown below.

SKAARHOJ DEVICE CORES

The subsequent output in the Serial Monitor will display a lot of Error messages. This is expected as the

base layer for communication between the AG-CX350 and the AU-EVA1 Panasonic Camera are the same,

but the feature set of the AG-CX350 is more slim.

Check IP Addresses on SKAARHOJ Controller

If you have issues connecting to the camera it is recommend to conﬁrm that IP settings are correct. A way

to conﬁrm IP settings on the SKAARHOJ controller is using the Serial Monitor in the Firmware Application

You can set a different IP address on the camera as long as the Device Core IP address is updated as well.

You can use the “IP Conﬁguration” option in the Firmware Application to change the Device Core IP

address.
