Sony SRG 300 User manual

SKAARHOJ DEVICE CORES

Device: Sony SRG 300

Introduction

A large number of parameters can be controlled on the Sony SRG 300cameras.

This integration was done using Sony SRG 300 software version 1.0.

Please see the “PTZ Manual” at https://www.skaarhoj.com/support/manuals/ to learn more about PTZ

control in general from SKAARHOJ controllers and in particular network recommendations.

In this manual it is worth noticing that one should not add additional Device Cores to control multiple

cameras. This is possible from the same Device Core but proper steps should be ensured (consecutive IP

addresses on the cameras) for a good user experience.

Number of Cameras possible to control

Please notice from the Sony SRG 300 Device Core it is possible to control up 7 cameras. In general this is

the limit for our VISCA over IP Device Cores and our integration have not been tested above 7 cameras. If

you want to control more than 7 cameras you will need to add an additional Device Core and conﬁgure

the controller accordingly. None of our default conﬁguration utilities 2 x Sony SRG 300 Device Cores. As

we have never tested with more than 7 cameras, we do not know how performance and stability will be in

such a conﬁguration setup. We recommend only having 1 x Sony SRG 300 Device Core installed per

controller.

Conﬁrm Connection

The Serial Monitor from the Firmware Application can be used to monitor connection status.

Device Conﬁgurations

Device conﬁguration options exist:

-Index 0: VISCA over IP/Serial

-If “1” = VISCA over Serial

Example:

Enabling VISCA over serial could look like this device conﬁguration code: “D0:0=1” where the general

form would be “Dx:y=z” where “x” is the number of the device core as installed on the controller (starting

with zero for the ﬁrst device core), “y” the index number and “z” the value for that index.

If the Sony SRG-300 Device Core is the ﬁrst like below:

Setting VISCA over serial would be set by this conﬁguration under “Manage Media” on the conﬁguration

page for your controller. Access this by pressing “Online Conﬁguration” in the Firmware Application.

Remember to save on the conﬁguration page and press “Check for updates” in the Firmware Application.

To conﬁrm that a device conﬁguration is in fact detected by the controller, please check it out on the serial

monitor where it will be mentioned:

Dip Switches

There are multiple dip switches on the bottom of the Sony SRG-300 to control connection via IP or Serial.

Ethernet to Serial connection

To communicate via serial (RS-232C) to the Sony SRG-300 camera you need an Ethernet-Serial converter.

We suggest you get a USR-TCP232-306 from USR IOT - https://www.pusr.com/products/ethernet-to-serial-

converters-usr-tcp232-306.html

Below you will ﬁnd screenshots of how to conﬁgure the USR-TCP232-306 converter (found of the web

interface of the USR-TCP232-306). Notice the IP address of the USR-TCP232-306 (Static IP Address) must

match the IP settings of the SRG-300 Device Core.

In the settings below the Baud Rate is set to 9600 and Serial Type to RS232. The camera must match these

settings.
