HOW IT WORKS ?

Z-Cam E1 control interface is a device that allow to remotely control the main functions of the Z-Cam E1 by using a standard RC controller.

The interface is automatically detected at camera startup

​‌

HOW TO USE IT ?

Note : To be detected, the Control Interface must be connected before powering ON the camera. The E1 does not support hot-plug

-1). Gently plug AV-Interface in the I/O port of the Z-Cam E1. Take care to insert it straight. Avoid lateral movements to prevent camera or control cable connector damage.

- 2). Connect the wires : (refer to the pinout diagram) a. Connect the desired control interface pins to the RC receiver.‌ b. Connect AV out (if used) c. Connect the 5V + GND control interface power input and power it

- 3). Power ON the Z-Cam E1 camera.‌

- 4). Turn the CVBS output ON to activate the command mode : Press ‘Menu’ button and enter E1 camera menu. Go to ‘Settings’ > press ‘Fn’ button to validate Go to ‘Setup Menu’ > press ‘Fn’ button to validate Go to ‘CVBS output’ > press ‘Fn’ button to enter - Activate the CVBS output​

- 5). Configure the RC controller : Setup the RC transmitter for each function to use by refering the following scheme .

From left side to right side : (Colors can differ) 1- Black : GND 2- Red : +5V 3- Yellow : AV out 4- CH6 : Nothing 5- CH5 : Nothing 6- CH4 : Low PWM value : Zoom Out / Mid PWM value : nothing / high PWM value : Zoom in (2 postions switch is enough) 7- CH3 : Low PWM value : Stop video / Mid PWM value : nothing / high PWM value : Start video (2 postions switch is enough) 8- CH2 : Low PWM value : Go Photo mode / Mid PWM value : nothing / high PWM value : Go Video mode (2 postions switch is enough) 9- CH1 : Low PWM value : nothing / Mid PWM value : autofocus / high PWM value : Photo Shutter (3 positions switch is recommended)

Low value : between 1100-1400 Mid value : between 1401-1600 High value : between 1601-1900
