Issue with RPG300 and MPTZ-9 camera

[Anonymous]

Hello colleagues!

I have a strange issue, when I connect MPTZ-9(12X zoom) to RPG300(4.1.1 firmware) the camera does not work at all, even no initial rotation and looks like no power. Also there is no camera name discovered in web interface of the codec in appropriate field. 

Camera is alive when connected to RPG500 with 6.1.1 and works perfectly, and RPG300 is ok when works with Aqustic camera. So looks like all hardware is ok. 

Any ideas how to get MPTZ-9 work with RPG300 4.1.1? Thanks for any suggestions.

The camera cable is 2457-23180-003. Looks like it is HDCI digital

Hi @bav,

The Polycom EagleEye IV cameras only work with RealPresence Group system software versions
4.1.3 and later.

Thanks!

So, is there any way to get EE-3 working with RPG 4.1.1? Maybe firmware downgrade?

Please note, I need to get working EE3, not EE4 camera.

Ah sorry, my mistake. You use EE3... should work.

Sorry, at the moment I have no clue why it is not working.

For your new issue, you have yet again not provided any details about the history of the device, I would suggest you update to a currently supported version. 4.3.1 should be possible without needing a key.

Hi! Yes, I will close the previous topic.

About the current topic:

that is existing equipment rpg300 what has been using with acoustic camera for a long time and now I have one extra EE3 and decided to replace acoustic with EE3. But it does not work. I would like to stay with this EE3 camera without updating software.

Any ideas?

Hello @bav ,

Not much help we can offer other than that to run a currently supported version of software and ensure the correct cables are being used.

Log analysis is outside the scope for myself as a Poly employee

But what is correct PN of the cable if it works great with EE acustic ?

[SteffenBaierUK]

Hello @bav 

the cable for the EagleEye III aka MPTS-9 should be:

2457-65015-003

Camera Cable for EagleEye HD/II/III cameras HDCI(M) to HDCI(M). 3M. Connects EagleEye cameras to Group Series codec as main or secondary camera.

Your Poly reseller should be consulted around any parts needed.

Best regards

Steffen Baier
