Cameras configuration

xConfiguration Cameras Camera [1..7] AssignedSerialNumber
The camera ID is the number n in Camera [n]. By default, the camera ID is assigned automati-
cally to a camera. If EDID information is not passed on from the camera to the codec, the
camera ID is not persistent after a reboot. This means that a camera may get a new camera ID
when the codec (video system) is restarted.
You should use the Cameras Camera AssignedSerialNumber setting to cater for configurations
where the codec does not receive EDID information from multiple cameras. This setting allows
you to manually assign a camera ID to a camera by associating the camera ID with the camera's
serial number. The setting is persistent until the codec is factory reset.
Typical situations where the codec does not receive EDID information are: when you connect
a Cisco TelePresence 60 camera using 3G-SDI; when you connect a Cisco TelePresence 60
(Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p4xS2) camera; when you use an HDMI repeater that does not pass
on EDID information.
The default value is an empty string.
