Getting Started
Install and wire the camera according to the instructions in this manual and in the manuals
that accompany the power supply and mounting devices. A typical system includes a
keyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and appropriate wiring connections. Refer to the
individual product manuals for complete installation and setup instructions for each of the
system components.
13.1
Establishing Control of the Camera
The MIC Series 550 / MIC Series 550 IR supports two communication protocols (Biphase and
RS-485), and both Bosch and Pelco D and P (keyboard) controller protocols that allow you to
send commands to the camera and to receive information from the camera.
13.1.1
Establishing Control of the Camera via Biphase Protocol
Notice!
Biphase protocol works only with Bosch controller protocol. It does not work with Pelco
controller protocol.
Biphase is the standard Bosch protocol used to send Pan/Tilt/Zoom control data. Biphase
connections require a MIC-BP3 or a MIC-BP4 Biphase converter (sold separately).

13.1.2
Establishing Control of the Camera via RS-485 Protocol
Notice!
In Pelco controller protocol, RS-485 is the only communication protocol that the camera
supports. It does not transmit responses back to the controller.
RS-485 is capable of controlling a true multidrop network and is specified for up to 32 drivers
and 32 receivers on a single 2-wire bus.
The MIC550 camera uses the 2-wire mode, although RS-485 can be connected in a 2- or 4-wire
mode.
