MFR-TI April 2022

Introduction

The MFR-TI is a thermal PTZ camera which is housed in a very rugged environmentally sealed casing

making it ideal for use in harsh environments�

The Flir thermal camera incorporates radiometric technology which delivers high precision

temperature monitoring� It supports an 8x digital zoom and spot metering to further optimise the

exposure control for each particular scenario�

Speeds are zoom factor corrected, giving ne control over the entire range of the lens with pan

speeds up to 100º per second�

The MFR-TI has absolute position feedback and therefore has the ability to self correct its actual

position if external forces act upon it. User presets can be saved allowing PTZ framing proles to be

easily recalled�

There is the option to have the video output as an encoded ONVIF compliant stream for use in IP

networks� Remote control of the camera is through VISCA protocol over USB or a RS232/RS485

serial connection�

The output video signal is HD-SDI which is available on the Fischer MiniMax connector on the

camera’s base, which also supports connections to power and data�

The outer casing is manufactured from aluminium� All external mating surfaces are gasket sealed

to maintain its IP67 rating�

Connections

The MFR-TI kit includes a power comms break out cable, part number 110-3562�

The cable assembly connects to the Fischer MiniMax connector on the base of the camera�

All signals are then split out to their relevant connectors� The connections are described below�

*Only active if the MFR-TI

includes an IP encoder�

Conguring the Camera

The MFR-TI can be congured for a specic user prole, to include; communication settings, motor

control, and camera options. Once congured the camera will retain the settings.

The camera is congured using a menu structure on its control interface which is only accessible

at power on� To access the control menu it is necessary to connect the camera to a serial comms

software application, such as TeraTerm set to 9600 baud 8n1�

• Connect the power comms cable to a USB

port on a PC�

• Open the PC serial comms application

• Power on the camera, a > character will

appear and shortly after a ! character�

• As soon as the ! appears type v e in quick

succession�

• The Main Menu shown on the right will then

be displayed�

• Select the required option�

• The function options are described in the

following tables�

Software Control

The MFR-TI camera’s serial communication supports the Sony VISCA protocol�

The user may choose to use a software controller of their choice or use the VE Camera Controller�

This software application can be downloaded from the Visual Engineering website:

www�visualengineering�co�uk/supportdownload/9

The user should install the Software application on a PC� The screen below shows the software

application�

visualengineering.co.uk Page 9

MFR-TI April 2022

It is necessary to connect the camera to a USB port on the PC� The operating system of the

computer will allocate this a COM port number� Once this connection has been made the user can

go ahead and connect the application to the COM port� In the example below the port COM3 has

been selected�

Once the software application is connected the functions of the software can be used� In the

example below the pan right command has been selected� Similar commands for pan left, tilt up &

down and zoom functions can also be sent using the intuitive software user interface�

Camera Communications

To maintain the same control protocol across the MFR range of cameras the adopted control

protocol is Sony VISCA� This standard is used to communicate with the Flir thermal camera and

for PTZ control� Flir camera communications uses a Flir-Pass-Through format, which incorporates

standard Flir protocol commands contained within a VISCA wrapper, as described later�

Additional Commands

Additional commands adopting the VISCA protocol format have been developed by Visual

Engineering for use with the MFR-TI camera� These commands also allow control of a limited set of

parameters in the Flir thermal camera when using standard VISCA controllers�

Commands such as unit type, PTZ control and thermal palette switching are included, as described

in the following tables�
