Joystick modes
While you are in the graphical programming interface, the joystick of your keypad operates in two modes
depending upon what your current action is. While moving among the menus of the programming interface, the
joystick is a simulated mouse and you enter commands using the joystick. While controlling live video, the
joystick is a PTZ controller. So, whenever you are positioning titles or privacy masks, or programming live video
features such as presets and ShadowTours, the joystick is a PTZ controller, in which case, you will use the
keypad’s keys to enter commands.
Joystick as simulated mouse
When the joystick is simulating a mouse within the programming interface, it can move the cursor, move a
title, or make a selection in the menus.
Moving the cursor or a title
To move the cursor (onscreen arrow) across the menus, or to move a title across the screen during title positioning,
push or pull the joystick in any direction. The farther you move the joystick, the faster the cursor will move. If your
keypad doesn’t have a joystick, directional keys will have the same effect.
Making a selection
To make a selection in the menus, place the cursor over a menu, button, checkbox, item in a list, or arrow of a
drop-down box by pushing or pulling the joystick in any direction, then twist the knob on the joystick.

You can also use the zoom+/- key on the keypad to make selections.
Joystick as PTZ controller
When the joystick is controlling the PTZ movements of the camera within the programming interface, use the
keypad’s keys to enter the save and cancel programming commands.
