RJ-45 to RS-232 Converter for PTC-120 and RMC-190
This Datavideo adapter converts an RJ-45 connection to an RS-232 interface for the PTC-120 camera. It also serves as a cascade solution for the RMC-190 controller. The device is built for professional video production workflows requiring reliable serial communication over Ethernet cabling.
Installation and common issues
The converter connects using standard CAT. 5 or CAT. 6 Ethernet cables to an 8-pin mini-DIN RS-232 port. Setup involves linking the camera and controller through the adapter with minimal configuration. A frequent issue is incorrect cable pin-out or exceeding the supported cascade length, which can interrupt control signals.
Cascade limits and cabling constraints
Up to 7 PTC-120 cameras can be cascaded using this converter with CAT. 5 or CAT. 6 cables. The RS-232 interface and cable quality determine the maximum reliable distance for each link. Exceeding the seven-camera limit or using sub-standard cabling will degrade communication stability across the chain.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the Datavideo RJ-45 to RS-232 converter is working correctly after connecting it to my PTC-120 camera?
Verify the PTC-120 camera responds to RS-232 control commands from your RMC-190 or control system; successful pan, tilt, and zoom operation confirms the link is active.
What comes in the box with this Datavideo converter, and do I need to buy Ethernet cables separately?
The package includes the RJ-45 to RS-232 converter unit; you must purchase CAT. 5 or CAT. 6 Ethernet cables separately to link up to 7 PTC-120 cameras in a cascade.
Which Datavideo camera models is this RJ-45 to RS-232 converter compatible with?
This converter is designed for the PTC-120 camera and also serves as an RS-232 cascade solution for the RMC-190 controller, enabling multi-camera setups.
