MEMO RS-232C Settings These settings are used for controlling the VC-C50i/VC-C50iR from a PC or other device.

35 ENGLISH ID Mode When multiple VC-C50i/VC-C50iR cameras are connected and installed, all the cameras in range of the wireless controller simultaneously perform the operations specified. In this situation, the cameras can be operated individually by assigning separate ID numbers to each camera beforehand and then specifying the desired ID number from the wireless controller. This is referred to as ID mode operation. Setting the ID Number Use the procedure below to assign an ID number (1 to 9) to each camera (VC-C50i/ VC-C50iR). If you do not want to assign an ID number to a camera, select [0] for that camera. Assigning the same ID number to multiple cameras allows you to control those cameras simultaneously. 4. When you have set the ID number, press the m button or c button to exit the settings screens. 5. Repeat Steps 1 to 4 until ID numbers are set for all the cameras. 1. Switch the power on to the cameras to which you want to assign the same ID number. Switch the power to the other connected cameras off. Switch the power to a camera off by unplugging the AC adapter connected to the camera (→ P.18). Even if you turn the power off, the ID number will not be cleared. 2. Press the m button on the wireless controller to display the MAIN MENU screen. 3. Select REMOTE CONTROLLER ID in the SET MENU and set the ID number. Use the 5 and 8 buttons to move the cursor up and down, use the s or 6 button to confirm the selected setting and proceed to the next level, and use the cor 4 button to move back to the previous level without confirming the selected setting. Use the 5 and 8 buttons to change values.

However, when a number button was pressed in step 2, the cameras with ID numbers that do not match are switched off. NOTE Selecting the Camera to be Controlled As shown in the figure below, of 4 cameras (ID1 to ID3) only the cameras with ID number 2 (2 cameras) are selected for ID mode operation.
