Q: 1. Can the tally light be disabled?

A: I use mine without the tally lights. Didn't really do anything to turn them off, just did not hook up tally cable.

Q: 2. Does this work with the Sony RM-BR300 joystick? It uses Visca protocol.

A: The Datavideo PTC-150T does use the VISCA and DVIP protocol. On the HBT-11 Receiver Box provided in the package, it does offer RS-422 and RS-232. The PTZ camera itself offers a HDBase T port as well as RS-422. The RM-BR300 does offer control capability through RS-232 and RS422. You will need to wire the cables either from the HBT-11 receiver box or camera to the RM-BR300.

Q: 3. I see that the camera uses rs-422 protocol for joystick control. One of the main issues with Panasonic cameras is their joysticks requires two hands to use. The Sony joysticks are far superior because they only require one hand which allows you contol ptz with one hand and switch with your other hand. Will a Sony joystick like the rm-br300 control this cam? Not sure if all rs-422 functions/pinout assignments are the same between competing companies.

A: The following unit can be driven by any Control offering Protocols of RS-232 RS-422 Just keep in mind when using a proprietary controller you are gaining full access and features the PTZ unit has to offer.
