Ethernet

NOTE: Using Ethernet requires a GIG-E port, which is available on the DSMC2 Jetpack-SDI Expander, DSMC2 REDVOLT Expander, and DSMC2 Production Module. For more information, go to Input/Output Connectors.

To set up the Ethernet settings, go to Menu > Settings > Setup > Communication > Ethernet.

Each camera or device requires a unique IP address. For camera-to-camera communication via Ethernet, both cameras need to be in the same sub-net (have the same netmask address) and have the same gateway address.

• Enable DHCP: Enables DHCP. If a DHCP-server is available in the communications network, the camera obtains an IP address, netmask address, and gateway address automatically from the DHCP server. You cannot manually enter anything in the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway fields when this check box is selected.
• Enable Camera to Camera: A change to settings on this camera is sent to other cameras via the network as a SET command (as UDP packets). The SET command then sets the property on other cameras. If this camera receives a SET command, the camera does not send the command to other cameras/devices.
• Enable External Control: This camera can be controlled via TCP/IP from an external device.
