The number of the called camera (i.e., the camera under control)
will be displayed on CAMERA LED (or LCD, depending on the
keyboard model).
When a camera is called to a monitor, the monitor will display the
live video images captured by the camera, as well as relevant
system information.
3.4 Camera Control
If a camera is equipped with motorized lens and pan/tilt, operators
can perform camera site controls (i.e., pan, tilt, focus, zoom, iris)
after calling the camera to a monitor.
When another keyboard is controlling pan/tilt, lens or auxiliaries,
the message "IN USE" is displayed in the on-screen Status Line,
and the control functions are temporarily unavailable. The system
will inform users of the availability of the camera only after the
former controlling keyboard has stopped operation on that camera.
Pan/Tilt Control
Users can perform pan/tilt control over a desired site camera. The
camera should be called to a monitor before the operation.
To control pan/tilt:
1.
Call the desired camera to a monitor;
2.
Operate on the site camera with the joystick on the keyboard
(Holding the joystick in the desired direction will keep the
camera moving until the joystick released or centered.);
3.
Release or center the joystick when the camera is at the desired
scene or view, as shown on the monitor.
For control of variable-speed pan/tilts, pan/tilt movement is in
direct proportion to the position of the joystick: the further from the
center the joystick moves, the faster the camera moves.
Camera Control
To control camera lens (Iris, Focus and Zoom):
1.
Call the desired camera to a monitor;
2.
Press a button in the IRIS (CLOSE/OPEN), FOCUS
(NEAR/FAR) or ZOOM (WIDE/TELE) section for the
designated performance;
3.
Release the control button when the camera is at the desired
scene or view, as shown on the monitor.
3.5 REMOTE Video Selection
In V2040 Network Systems, REMOTE Video Selection is available
at LOCAL sites, which have video trunk inputs connected to
camera input connectors that have been defined in the Network
Video Trunk Assignment menu. REMOTE V2040 video control
functions are accessed from a LOCAL keyboard by placing one of
the LOCAL system monitors under the control of the keyboard
(“Calling” a monitor to a keyboard), then calling a REMOTE Site
and REMOTE cameras to that monitor.
Note:
REMOTE Site video selection and control functions can be
accessed from an V2116 keyboard only.
To Call a LOCAL Monitor to a Keyboard:
1.
Enter the number of the desired LOCAL monitor;
2.
Press the keyboard MONITOR button. The number of the
LOCAL MONITOR under control of the keyboard is shown in the
keyboard MONITOR display.
To Call a REMOTE Site and Camera to a LOCAL Monitor:
1.
Enter the Site Number of the desired REMOTE Site;
2.
Press the keyboard SITE button;
3.
Enter the number of the desired REMOTE camera;
4.
Press the keyboard CAMERA button.
The Site Number of the REMOTE SITE selected is shown in the
keyboard SITE display, and the number of the REMOTE
CAMERA called to the MONITOR under control is shown in the
keyboard CAMERA display.
To Disconnect the Keyboard from the REMOTE Site:
1.
Press the 0 button;
2.
Press the SITE button. Pressing the SITE button with no Site
Number entered clears the keyboard SITE display;
3.
Call a LOCAL camera to this monitor to transfer control of this
keyboard to control of the LOCAL Site.
Note:
The F1 button releases control of the video trunk currently
under control of a keyboard. If F1 is pressed only, the video trunk
remains connected to that keyboard until another keyboard calls a
REMOTE site, at which time the released trunk may be switched to
the calling keyboard.
3.6 Controlling Remote Camera Site Functions
Camera site control functions (pan/tilt, lens, presets, and auxiliaries)
are available after the operator has called the desired camera to a
monitor. These functions are accessible at a REMOTE camera site.
z
If the desired camera is being displayed as part of an operating
tour, press the HOLD button to stop the tour on the desired
camera.
z
Control of a camera (pan/tilt, lens, preset, and auxiliary) stays
with a keyboard for two seconds after a controlling action or
movement stops. If another keyboard attempts control of the
same camera during this two-second period, these functions are
temporarily not available and the message “IN USE” is displayed
in the on-screen Status Line.
z
When a keyboard calls a camera which is locked out from the
Camera Lockout programming function, the camera video is
displayed on the monitor and the message “LOCK” is displayed
in the on-screen Status Line.
z
A user or keyboard with a higher priority level (set via the
Priority menus, please refer to the Priority Menu section of the
V2040 Installation/Operation Instructions) can capture control of
cameras from users or keyboards with lower priority levels.
