PTZ BAR
The PTZ bar allows you to control a pan/tilt/zoom camera (the camera must be
displayed in the top-left video window). To use the PTZ controls, select PTZ Bar
from the View menu. Click the arrows or the joystick in the center of the arrows
and then drag the mouse to control the direction the camera is pointed (see Figure
49). The farther you drag, the faster the camera moves in the selected direction.
You can also control zoom, focus, and iris functions by clicking the appropriate
buttons on the PTZ bar.
The following features are also on the PTZ bar:
•
Speed.
This drop-down box at the top of the
PTZ bar controls the speed at which functions
occur when selected. For example, if you select
Fast, the camera will pan quickly when you click
and drag an arrow or the joystick. Five speeds
are available.
•
Preposition.
You can create presets for
RemoteView to pan to automatically. To create
a preset, use the PTZ controls to set up the de-
sired view, type a preset number, and click the
Set button. (The number of presets available
depends on the camera used. Consult your
camera’s documentation for details.)
To see the preset camera view at any time, do
one of the following:
•
Click the numbered buttons to see pre-
sets 1 through 6
•
Type a preset number and click Shot
Otherwise, the camera automatically pans to all presets from 1 to 6 and
then repeats. You can temporarily override the automatic panning at any
time by selecting a PTZ control or a preset button.
•
Auxiliary.
This is unused with DVXi systems.
You can also click and drag the PTZ bar to another location on the Monitor page.
