Defining Automatic System Functions
3-5
There is also a time constraint on Patterns. A single Pattern cannot have a
duration longer than approximately 6 minutes and 50 seconds. Even if a
Pattern has only two camera commands in it, the Pattern will stop recording
once its duration time has elapsed.
Patterns are programmed in
real-time.
This means that the camera is
remembering every programming command you make at the actual speed
you issue the commands. For example, if you let the camera sit still for 20
seconds during programming, the camera pauses for 20 seconds when the
Pattern runs. The 20 seconds of “non-motion time” is part of the Pattern.
Tip
: Patterns can be defined from the primary T

only.
The SpeedDome LT does not support Pattern programming. Refer to the
section in this chapter titled “SpeedDome LT Auto Pan Programming” for
information about setting the Auto Pan feature.
The following procedure describes how to define a Pattern.
1.
Using the number buttons, enter the number of the programmable camera
for which you are defining the Pattern. Then press
(the
Camera
button).
2.
Pan and tilt the camera to the starting point of the Pattern, and then zoom
and focus the camera accordingly.
3.
When you have the perfect “starting point” picture displayed on the
monitor, press the
Menu
button.
