Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) Setup
Figure 6-1 Assigning a PTZ Driver to a Port on the Multi-Media Unit
5. Drag the PTZ icon to the Port that matches the unit serial port identified in step 1 . If
you drop the icon on a port that is already assigned to another device, the PTZ device
replaces it; the displaced device is sent to the Unassigned Devices group.
6. You have the option of renaming the device in the Device Name field (maximum 32
characters, including numbers and spaces).
7. Select the serial interface protocol: RS-232, RS-485, or RS-422.
8. You have the option of:
• Selecting the Enable Controller Switch option. A checkmark sets the
Multi-Media unit’s OUTPUT 1 to send a signal whenever a PTZ camera is selected
during a Live session. Installers can connect OUTPUT 1 to the external controller
so that the signal disables the controller while a Multi-Media operator uses a PTZ
camera. When a PTZ camera is not selected, the signal from OUTPUT 1 stops so
that control of the PTZ serial bus is returned to the external controller.
• Assigning another PTZ device to another Port (or to the Unassigned Devices
group). To do so, repeat steps 4 to 7.
