uglyb0b 0 Posted March 8, 2006 Hi all. We an i3 DVR that we will be replacing with a GV-1240. It has 5 PTZs connected to it. The DVR is attached to a Kalatel KTD-83, which is a (GE?) box that takes RS-232 and turns it into 6 RS422 control signals. The PTZs are of course wired to it. I am unsure of the brand of the PTZs as well as the protocol used; would it be Kalatel? What would I need in order to control the PTZs from Geovision? Is it as simple at something Geo makes thats RS-232 to RS422? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uglyb0b 0 Posted March 9, 2006 sortve, but i was hoping to get more info on the hardware side. rs485 seems to be common, so im not sure what it means that the box were using now is rs422. does geo make a rs232 to rs422? is there enough difference between rs422 and rs485?
