Pelco controller’s user manual.
Auto Baud Detection Feature
Baud rate and protocol are automatically detected and adjusted
by AutoDome whenever the controller starts transmitting. No
manual adjustments are required.
Because of the slow command repeat rate of the DX8000, Auto
Baud Detection is slow. The fastest way to change the baud rate
is to enter the
Setup Menu
, and select
Bosch Menu>
Communication Setup> Baud Rate
and select the desired baud
rate for the AutoDome. Then change the baud rate of the
controller and operate the Pan/Tilt to gain control of the
AutoDome at the controller’s baud rate.
If it is not possible to access the AutoDome’s
Setup Menu
at the
present baud rate (i.e. the baud rates of the controller source
and the AutoDome are mismatched), then the
Auto Baud
Detection
feature can be initiated by rapidly repeating PTZ
movements or focus/iris commands for several seconds which
causes the AutoDome to lock onto the controller’s baud rate
and protocol. This can take up to 60 seconds or more
depending on the difference between the two baud rates.
DX8000 Digital Video Recorder [SET] button
The DX8000 GUI uses the [
SET
] button to toggle the function
of the [
PRESET
] button. While the [
SET
] button is activated
(indicator is lit) the [
PRESET
] button is used to issue the
Set-Preset
commands. This command is used to set a preset
shot or to activate the special preset functions as described in
Section 9.6: Commands
.
While the [
SET
] button is deactivated, the [
PRESET
] button
is used to issue the
Go-to-Preset
command. This command is
used to move the AutoDome to a previously defined preset
position. This command is also used to activate special preset
functions as described in
Section 9.6: Commands
.
CM6700 Matrix Switch Presets
The AutoDome must be connected to the RS-422 Tx+/-
terminal connections to
COM1
of a CM6700 matrix switch.
The CM6700 configuration introduces behavior that differs
from that of a direct keyboard or the DX8000 DVR
configuration.
For example: When the CM6700 matrix switch sends a
Set-Preset
command to the AutoDome it will display
instructions on the monitor for entering setting the title and
completing the Preset. The operator must use the [
F1
] and [
F2
]
keys, along with panning left and right, to set a Preset title. The
operator must tilt the joy stick down to the
SET
option on the
monitor until it starts blinking. Then the operator must pan
right or press the [
ACK
] button to finish setting the Preset.
Refer to the CM6700 controller user manual.
Custom Control Software
Most custom control software that adheres to
Pelco-D
and
Pelco-P
protocol specifications will operate with the AutoDome
Pelco Protocol Mode. However, custom control software that
requires a response from the AutoDome will not operate
because of the simplex receive requirements.
Some commands that trigger the AutoDome to solicit user
input can also cause a problem for scripts run by the custom
control software. For example, the
Reset Camera to Defaults
command requires the user to confirm their intent to reset the
camera defaults.
