Connecting third party cameras to Cisco SX80

[majeed002]

Is it possible to connect any third party camera to Cisco SX80.  I am looking for connecting speaker tracking vaddio Auto Trak 2.0 camera to the Cisco SX80 instead of the Precision60 or speaker track cameras.

The SX80 does not support Third party Cameras, now there is a key point, if the Third party Camera supports VISCA protocol (Protocol used on Cisco codec "SX80" to manage the cameras) the camera could be recognized and managed by the SX80.
If the camera cannot be controlled the by the SX80 at least video could work but will be a static video because the camera will not be moving.

We use third-party cameras (Sony) with all of our SX80, however, they need to be controlled by a third party system such as AMX. Works fine for us - however, none of ours are "speaker tracked.

We have deployed one project with Cisco SX80 and  used  3x Sony BRC-Z330 (BRCZ330) as third-party cameras for auditorium setup. These cameras are not directly connected to the SX80 codec but it will go thru third-party control ProductionVIEW™ HD-SDI MV | Vaddio for camera control and the video output of the Vaddio goes to the SX80 codec video input. 

This works perfectly with our set up.

Hi Acevirgil de Ocampo,

Are you using the HDMI input video of SX80 to receive from third-party control ProductionVIEW™ HD-SDI MV | Vaddio? This works with two cameras and a PC connected in the ProductionView?  Did you tried to streaming the video to WebEx CMR?  I would like to know if works fine with cisco codecs in the cloud, but the most important is know if works with two professional cameras JVC and  PC with power point presentation.

Best regards,
