Recalling the presets
To recall the presets:
1.
Press the number button of the camera station (see Figure 8) that has the preset
shot you want to recall. That button is now illuminated.
2.
If you are using an optional preview monitor and video switcher, use the video
switcher to route the camera’s video to the preview monitor. Refer to the video
switcher’s documentation for instructions.
3.
Press the appropriate mode and shot selection buttons.
4.
Press the recall button. The CAM-1000 positions the camera and lens to the new
location, which was previously stored in the systems memory.
Reversing the Joystick/POT Direction
In its factory default condition, the AXP-DTC’s operation of any of the seven analog
functions may be reversed from normal operation. If you are mounting the camera
upside-down from standard orientation, you will want the camera to rotate
clockwise for a given deflection direction of the pan/tilt joystick while the controller
actually rotates the unit counter-clockwise. To accommodate these differences, the
control software has a hidden configuration mode. When this mode is activated, the
shot buttons can be used to toggle the directional controls for each camera station
individually.
The configuration mode is activated when you simultaneously press and hold the A
and B mode buttons. Shot buttons for the functions that have been previously
reversed will be illuminated. While the A and B mode buttons are held down, each
of the shot buttons acts as a toggle switch to alter the directions of the functions in
Figure 9.
