Installation and Operation Manual
Switching - Tours
A system tour is a programmable sequence of camera views that can be called for display on a single monitor. Using
the
Tours
screen, 64 system tours can be programmed for callup to any monitor at any time by keyboard operator
commands or by automatic timed events. Each tour can contain up to 64 camera views. Each tour entry can have an
associated dwell time, preset or pattern, auxiliary action and link status.
To display the
Tours
screen, expand the
Switching
node on the left-hand side of the display area and then click the
Tours
node.
Note
On monitors connected to secondary units, it is only possible to recall cameras connected to the same secondary unit.
If a tour is recalled on a secondary monitor and a camera in that tour is not available, the previous camera view will
remain on the monitor for the required dwell time. A message (“INVcccc”) is displayed on the monitor to indicate that an
invalid camera was selected.
