MONITOR Section Controls
ARM
The ARM button is used to arm the "called" monitor. When
a monitor is armed, the camera video associated with an
alarm for that monitor is displayed when that alarm is
activated. This action (and the OFF button action) affects
only the monitor currently under control of the keyboard (the
called monitor). The keyswitch must be in the PROG
position to use the ARM button.
OFF
The OFF button is used to disarm monitors that have been
armed by the ARM button action. While the monitor is
disarmed, camera video from alarms for that monitor is not
displayed when an alarm is activated. The keyswitch must
be in the PROG position to use the OFF button.
PROG
The PROG button is used in creating Monitor Tours for the
called monitor. Monitor Tours are selected sequences of
camera video inputs, with selected dwell times. The PROG
button is also used in some switching system controllers to
initiate the menu system programming functions. Refer to
the appropriate system's Operating Instructions manual for
specific instructions on creating Monitor Tours and on Menu
Programming operation.
MONITOR
The MONITOR button is used to select a specified monitor
(the called monitor) for control by further keyboard actions.
The called monitor either displays a sequence of camera
video inputs from a selected tour or displays a single camera
video.
CAMERA Section Controls
NEXT, LAST
The NEXT and LAST buttons are used to manually advance
(NEXT) or reverse (LAST) stepping through a camera
program sequence or tour. These buttons step through the
sequence one camera at a time, only when the sequence is in
a HOLD or has been called to a specific camera.
B-PAS
The B-PAS button is used to remove a camera's video from
the sequence or tour that has been activated.
ACK
The ACK button is used to acknowledge alarms which are
displayed on the called monitor.
RUN
The RUN button initiates the RUN mode, which sequences a
display of camera video inputs on the called monitor. The
monitor, depending on the system setup and sequence
selected, either continuously displays a sequence of camera
video inputs or displays a sequence and holds on a selected
camera input.
HOLD
The HOLD button stops the RUN sequence and holds the
monitor display on the current camera input. The monitor
continues to display this camera input until another keyboard
action is taken to change the HOLD, such as starting a RUN
sequence.
SALVO
The SALVO button calls a selected salvo of cameras to
selected monitors. A Salvo can be called either during a
RUN sequence or when in HOLD. Refer to the appropriate
switching system's Operating Instructions manual for
specific instructions on creating SALVOs.
CAMERA
The CAMERA button calls a specific camera to the monitor
under control of the keyboard. A camera can be selected to
be displayed on the called monitor from either the RUN
sequence or when in HOLD. When a camera is called, the
picture on the monitor incorporates the system on-screen
display; refer to the appropriate Operating Instructions
manual for details on the on-screen displays.
