3.1.5 Camera Control
Camera site functions become available after the desired camera has
been called to a monitor. If the camera is equipped with a
motorized lens and/or a pan/tilt motor, operators can activate pan/tilt,
focus, zoom, and iris controls via a controller keyboard.
When a camera is being controlled from a different site, the
message "
IN USE
" will be displayed in the on-screen status line,
under these circumstances, any control functions will be unavailable
until the camera is no longer in use. The system will allow the user
to operate the camera only after the controlling keyboard has
stopped operation.
Pan/Tilt Control
If the camera selected is properly equipped, operators can use a
keyboard to control its pan/tilt movements.
To control pan/tilt
1.
Call the desired camera to a pre-selected monitor.
2.
Deflect the joystick to move the site camera. (Holding the
joystick in the desired direction will keep the camera moving
until the joystick is released or centered.)
3.
Release or center the joystick when the camera is at the desired
scene or view, as shown on the monitor.
When controlling variable-speed pan/tilts, camera movement is in
direct proportion to the position of the joystick; the farther from the
center the joystick moves, the faster the pan/tilt moves.
