Protocol converter - code translator - Bosch Biphase to Pelco

The protocol converter (code translator) is a microprocessor device designed to integrate cameras from different manufacturers with Bosch CCTV systems using the Pelco protocol. Allows you to control various cameras with Bosch keyboards, recorders or Video Matrix. It is installed between control devices and PTZ cameras. When installed with a middle distance between the camera and the controller, it extends the bus length twice.

Modern processor with efficient software ensure fast data processing and very fast response to control. It has one input port for Bosch, configurable for Biphase code or OSRD (RS-485) and two independent outputs for cameras with Pelco protocol. Pelco ports and the Bosch port configured as OSRD have an adjustable transmission rate in the range of 1200baud to 115200baud. Configurable LEDs informs about various situations of data transmission and facilitate diagnostics and troubleshooting of camera controls.

This is a 3rd series product, fully configurable and updated via USB using Ewimar Upgrader / Configurator software. This allows you to buy and change software, which means that the unnecessary converter can be reused in other systems at a low cost. It also has additional software options that introduce advanced real-time translation capabilities - they are activated using license codes.

This converter model, in large systems with Allegiant video switchers can be used if the control is done only from one keyboard. If several keyboards are used in the system, use CONV Bosch-to-Pelco-Lite - one converter for one camera.
