This is specifically tailored for interfacing with the +Cisco TelePresence Precision series of conference cameras (specifically testing with the TTC8-02 12x zoom w/ SDI output). + +The TelePresence cameras have a slight quirk to controlling it over VISCA. To get manual control over the pan/tilt/zoom +rates the camera needs to be sent the IR disable command, otherwise all movements behave with a speed ramp as if you +were controlling it with an IR remote. + +The Arduino Shield board present in the EAGLE directory is intended to make connecting to a TelePresence camera and +wiring I/O easier. The shield has headers to allow for powering the Arduino off its internal voltage regulator or via +VIN (includes header points to make swapping easy). There is also a header to provide 12v power over the RJ45 +connection to remotely power the camera (untested). The shield incudes an RS232 transciever so it is ready to plug into +the camera's control port with a standard ethernet cable. \ No newline at end of file
