HDZERO Camera Switcher

คำแนะนำการใช้ผลิตภัณฑ์

การแนะนำ
The HDZero Camera Switcher is a compact unit that allows you to connect 2 or more cameras to a single video transmitter and select between them with your controller. It was designed to work seamlessly with the system. No soldering is required, and there is no need for special firmware or programming. Just set up the mode on a switch and get ripping!

การตั้งค่า
The HD-Zero Camera Switcher was designed with a 20x20mm mount pattern in order to fit a wide range of applications. Just pop in the included gummies and add them to your existing stack. The camera switcher is configurable to 3 modes: Standard, VTX Control, and Manual Control. In Standard mode, the VTX is monitoring the MSP connection for the state of the Camera Control 1 Mode. To set this up, all you need to do is go into BetaFlight or iNav and activate Camera Control 1 on the AUX that corresponds with the switch you’d like to use on your transmitter.

Standard (Delivered in this configuration)
In this configuration, the VTX will use its MSP connection with BetaFlight or iNav to select the active camera based on the state of the ‘Camera Control 1’ mode. When CC1 is disabled, Camera 1 will be selected. When enabled, Camera 2 will be selected. No soldering is required for this mode; only the 3 MIPI cables need to be plugged in. In this mode, the VTX will be able to change camera settings independently. The green LED will indicate when camera 1 is selected. The red LED will indicate when camera 2 is selected.

Board configuration for this mode:

• VTX connected to UART on Betaflight or INAV Flight Controller configured for MSP-VTX
• The MAN jumper must be clear
• Both sets of VTX-IN jumpers must have the center pad connected to the VTX side.
  Jumper 1 (Top Right of Board) Jumper2 Middle Left of board
• The i2c Disconnect jumpers on the back must be closed.

การควบคุม VTX
In this configuration, the VTX monitors the state of the IN pad rather than utilizing the MSP connection. This is ideal for builds that don’t use a flight controller or use an incompatible flight controller, while still allowing the VTX to regulate camera selection. This mode requires a common ground and a control wire to be soldered. The green LED will indicate when camera 1 is selected. The red LED will indicate when camera 2 is selected.

Board configuration for this mode:

• The MAN jumper must be closed.
• Both sets of VTX-IN jumpers must have the center pad connected to the VTX side. Jumper 1 (Top Right of Board) Jumper2 (Middle Left of Board)
• The i2c Disconnect jumpers on the back must be closed.
• GND is connected to the control device ground, and IN is connected to the 0-3.3 signal from the control device.

Full Manual Control
Use this mode on the secondary board when daisy-chaining boards to use more than 2 cameras. In this mode, the VTX will not have control of switching not will it be monitoring the state of the switch. This mode requires a common ground and a control wire to be soldered. The state of the IN pad will directly control which camera is active. No voltage applied to the IN pad will select camera 1, while applying 1.4-3.3v will select camera 2. Both cameras on the Full Manual Control switch will always be connected to the i2c network; this means independent camera settings will not be possible. In this mode, when camera 1 is selecte,d the green LED will not be illuminated. The red LED will light up when camera 2 is selected.

Board configuration for this mode:

• The MAN Jumper must be closed.
• Both sets of VTX-IN jumpers must have the center pad connected to the IN side. Jumper 1 (Top Right of Board) Jumper2 (Middle Left of Board)
• The i2c Disconnect jumpers on the back must be Open
• GND is connected to the control device ground, and IN is connected to the 0-3.3 signal from the control device

Jumper Pad Details
The HD-Zero camera switcher utilizes 4 sets of jumper pads to help configure the board for any use case.

1. MAN- Located on the top side of the device. Connecting these 2 pads will tell the VTX that the device is in either the VTX or Manual control mode.
2. VTX-IN 1: Located on the top side of the device, next to the smiley face. This changes where the power for the red LED is derived. When ‘VTX’ is selected, the power comes from the VTX. When ‘IN’ is selected, the power will come from the IN pad. Solder the IN and Center pads together when using the Full Manual Control Mode. This board uses low-current LEDs in conjunction with a current-limiting resistor. The LED should draw <4ma and be compatible with the GPIO of most microcontrollers.
3. VTX-IN 2: Located on the top toward the middle of the device. These pads change which source is controlling the switching of the cameras. The IN and Center pads must be soldered together on the secondary board when daisy-chaining switchers to use more than 2 cameras.
4. i2c Discon: Located on the back of the device. These pads will disconnect the control IC from the I2C circuit. These pads must be disconnected on the secondary board when daisy-chaining switchers to use more than 2 cameras.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย

Q: Do I need to solder anything for the basic setup?

A: No, the Camera Switcher does not require any soldering for basic operation.

Q: How can I tell which camera is currently selected?

A: In VTX Control mode, a green LED indicates camera 1 selection, while a red LED indicates camera 2 selection.
