GETTING STARTED

Connecting the VC-C3 Camera to Your Computer

To connect the VC-C3 camera to your PC, will require a specially

pinned RS-232 control cable. Do not attempt to use any other RS-232

cable besides the one that Canon sells for the VC-C3 camera. The VC-

C3 camera has a special pin configuration and will NOT work with an

ordinary RS-232 cable. If you do not own the Canon RS-232 control

cable, contact the nearest Canon VC-C3 camera reseller for purchasing

information or see Appendix A for the pin outs of the cable.

Before connecting or disconnecting any hardware from your computer,

always turn your computer off first.

Connect the 8-pin DIN connector end of the cable to the RS-232 port

on the back of the VC-C3 camera and connect the 9pin DSUB connec-

tor end of the cable to any available serial port on the back of your

computer (COM1 – COM4).

If your computer is additionally equipped with a real time video capture

card you can connect either the Video Out or S-Video Out from the

VC-C3 to your computer. This will enable you to display the VC-C3

video directly on your computer screen. If your computer is not

equipped for such a configuration, you can use any standard NTSC

video monitor to view the video output.

Using Multiple Cameras

To connect more than one VC-C3 camera to your PC, will require one

available COM port for each camera, up to a maximum of four. You

still must use the special RS-232 control cable for each camera. Do not

attempt to use any other RS-232 cable besides the one that Canon sells

for the VC-C3 camera. The VC-C3 camera has a special pin configura-

tion and will NOT work with an ordinary RS-232 cable. If you do not

own the Canon RS-232 control cable, contact the nearest Canon VC-C3

camera reseller for purchasing information or see Appendix A for the

pin outs of the cable.

Before connecting or disconnecting any hardware from your computer,

always turn your computer off first.

Connect the 8-pin DIN connector end of the cable to the RS-232 port

on the back of the VC-C3 camera and connect the 9pin DSUB connec-

tor end of the cable to any available serial port on the back of your

computer (COM1 – COM4). Repeat this for as many cameras, up to 4,

that you have available COM ports for.

If your computer is additionally equipped with a real time video capture

card you can connect either the Video Out or S-Video Out from the

VC-C3 to your computer. This will enable you to display the VC-C3

video directly on your computer screen. If your computer is not

equipped for such a configuration, you can use any standard NTSC

video monitor to view the video output.

INSTALLING SOFTWARE

Installation

To install the Canon VC-C3 Control software on a computer running

Windows 95, follow these steps:

1) Open your local hard drive (usually c:) to view the contents of the

root directory.

2)From the file menu select New > folder and name it VC-C3 Control.

3)Drag copy all of the files from the VC-C3 Control Software distribu-

tion diskette into that folder.

4)Open the newly created VC-C3 Control folder

5)The VC-C3 icon should appear in this folder if successful.

operation of the VC-C3 Camera.

Start Up Operation

1)Make sure the VC-C3 is connected to a serial port (COM1 is the

default setting in the software) and the power is ON.

2)Double click on the camera icon, VCC3.exe, to start the program.

The program first checks to see if the default COM port is present,

then checks to see if the VC-C3 is connected to it. The camera will

automatically initialize upon start up and the selected camera button

will show a green dot. If an error occurs, (see below) the dot will

blink red. Select another of the four camera buttons as required at

the bottom of the control window. The camera buttons 1 – 4

correspond to serial ports COM1 – COM4 on the computer.

If an error occurred:

1)Check that the serial port the

VC-C3 is connected to is the

same as the camera button you

are using in the software. If you

are sure that the proper serial port

is selected, cycle the power switch

on the back of the VC-C3 and

select ‘Initialize Camera’ from the

drop down ‘System Menu’ in the

upper left corner of the applica-

tion window.

2)If a COM port is not configured

properly by your computer or you

do not have a specific COM port

this message will be displayed:

3)If you have the COM port configured but it is being used by another

device such as a modem, this error will be displayed:

4)If the VC-C3 is not connected to the selected configured COM

port, this error will be displayed:

Note: There may be a several second delay before an error message

shows, depending on how far the initialization gets before an error is

encountered.

PROGRAM OPTIONS CONFIGURATION

Program Options

To access the Program Options window, choose ‘Program Options’

under the ‘System Menu’ in the upper left corner of the VC-C3 Control

Software application window.
