CONV5 is microprocessor based device, designed to integrate any CCTV equipment using Pelco-P / Pelco-D protocol (speed dome cameras, PTZ keyboards), DVR’s, etc) with Sensormatic CCTV equipment. The CONV-5 is two-way translator – Pelco to Sensormatic or Sensormatic to Pelco depend on the configuration. Sensormatic devices are connected to 2-wire or 4-wire RS-422 interface and equipment with Pelco protocol is connected to RS-485. The code translator can support only one camera with Presets storing Pattern function or multiple cameras with simple translation – P/T/Z moving only. Only one type of translation can be selected at the same time, only Sensormtic to Pelco or Pelco to Sensormatic. Extended functions like Presets and Pattern are stored with internal memory of the translator CONV5.

The converter receiving data by using typical RS-485 or RS- 422 interface and special software, which translate data from Pelco-D / Pelco-P to Sensormatic protocol. Data to cameras are sending by using independent interface, which is compatibility with Sensormatic cameras.

The protocol converter supports only motion control (without support of PRESET, PATTERN, TOUR, ect. Functions), but it allows to control multiple cameras.

To use all functions of Sensormatic cameras, you should use the CONV-5B, which have 2-way communication and it built-in memory to support PRESET, PATTERN i TOUR functions. The CONV5-B is designed only to one camera.
