connection

Z12TL supports PWM and serial command control, suitable for close range remote control or remote data command control.

HDMI: micro HDMI OUTPUT 1080P 60fps default SD card: max 128G, class10 FAT32 or exFAT format

image TTL 115200/8/1/N

S.bus/Rx: connect to Rx2 for track function. Roll/Tx: connect to Tx2 for track frunction Pitch: PWM in pitch control

usb to ttl cable

Connect the camera to the upper computer by USB to TTL cable (Adopt connection method of TX to RX, RX to TX, GNG to GND at Dupont ends of the provided USB to TTL cable, connect to the specified TTL of the gimbal, and the USB end of the cable connect to computer).

S.Bust control

Control the gimbal camera functions by one combining signals. Connect the external S.Bus to S.Bus port on the control box, and the external S.bus signal GND connect to the GND interface of the control box. Wiring Diagram (Take Futaba remote control for example): Install Viewlink control software to test the functions directly. Users may choose to develop their own software, please contact technical support for TTL control protocol file. ViewLink is a user interface developed by Viewpro for Viewpro gimbal cameras, you can download it from Viewpro website (www.viewprotech.com) or ask distributors for installation package.

S.Bus control mode: default S.Bus signal channel 9-15 to control gimbal camera functions (the function of channel is consistent with corresponding channel in PWM function description) TTL control and S.bus control cannot coexist at the same time for standard version. The default control is TTL if no requirement. The user can set to S.bus control if needed (please contact with our technical support for the setting instruction.) User can set the channels by setting serial command according to the actual requirement. The S.Bus channel position can be arranged in any sequence within channel 1-15 to connect with the flight controller or remote control.

Channel 9: Yaw Control
Channel 10: Pitch Control
Channel 11: Mode Control
Channel 12: Zoom Control
Channel 13: Focus Control
Channel 14: Pic/Rec Control
Channel 15: Multi Backup

TCP Control

For Viewpro gimbal cameras with Ethernet output, the default IP address is: 192.168.2.119, control port: 2000. You can send the corresponding protocol to realize TCP control after connecting. The TCP control protocol is [Frame header: EB + command ID: 90 + data body (serial port protocol) + Checksum (CS = body checksum, checksum is calculated as a sum of all bytes of data body modulo 256)]. Or directly use UI Viewlink to control after TCP connection.
