programmable preset position - usually straight ahead and level with the

JCU Puck
The JCU Puck functions like a joystick - it can be moved left or right, or fore
and aft, and it can be rotated in either direction. It can also be pushed down
(like a mouse click) or pulled up. It is used to move the pan/tilt position of
the camera and it is used to navigate through the on-screen menus.
Use the Puck to pivot the M-Series camera left and right and tilt it up and
down.
Pan
- Rotate (twist) the puck counterclockwise and the M-Series will pivot
left. Rotate the Puck clockwise and the M-Series will pivot to the right.
Tilt
- Push the Puck forward (toward the bow) and the camera will tilt down;
pull it back (toward aft) and the camera will tilt up.
Zoom
- Push down for 1 second to turn on 2X electronic zoom on the IR
camera. Push and hold for 2 seconds for 4x zoom (M-6xx models only). Pull
up on the Puck to return to 2X zoom and pull again to return to no zoom.
The lowlight visible camera does not have a zoom feature.
Freeze
- To momentarily pause the IR video and freeze the current image on
the screen, double click (press down twice quickly). Any any other action
with the JCU (moving the puck or pushing a button) will unfreeze the image.
The Puck implements proportional control; therefore the father you rotate it
or direct it from center; the faster the camera will move.
JCU Display
The JCU Display generally shows the name of the camera that the JCU is
“connected” to. It also shows various JCU status messages, and it shows
the countdown (
3, 2, 1, 0
) to access the Power Menu when the power
button is pressed and held.
Video Display
The M-Series thermal imager does not produce an image from visible light
like an ordinary camera does; rather, it uses thermal infrared energy to pro-
duce an image. It senses subtle differences in temperature and makes
images based on those differences.
When the thermal camera is in white-hot mode, the warm things in the
scene will display as white, or lighter shades of grey, and cold objects will
