power mode power consumption. In either case, the camera does not generate a
live video signal. The camera will only respond to a wake command when you
press and hold the Power/DIM button on the JCU or, if you are using a PC to
control the camera, when you click the Active link.
While in standby mode, the camera is in the stowed position—by default, pointing
straight down—to protect the camera optics. The stow position can be configured
with the on-screen configuration menus (see page 40).
To initiate standby, press and hold the Power/DIM button. A brief countdown (

You can also press and hold SCENE, COLOR, and HOME buttons at the same
time to go directly to global standby. In this case, you are not prompted to choose
from the Power Menu before the camera enters standby.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period of time and you want to
conserve power, first power down the camera from the JCU as described here so
that the camera is in the stowed position. Then switch the system circuit breaker
to the off position. When the circuit breaker is switched on, the camera will go
through the bootup sequence again, as described previously.
JCU Power Menu
The JCU is more sophisticated than many joystick devices; in fact it has its own
microprocessor and is capable of communicating with other IP devices on a
network. To aid in the control of the system, the JCU has an LCD display that
shows JCU messages, menu options, and general status information. The
various JCU functions are accessed from a set of menus, with each menu entry
selectable in the JCU display.
When the camera is powered on, pressing and holding the Power/DIM button
causes the JCU to display the Power Menu. Use the JCU puck to scroll up and
down within the menus (push forward and back or twist), and select an entry by
pushing in (clicking) the puck or pushing it to the right or left. When the JCU is in
the Power Menu mode, the other JCU buttons such as HOME, COLOR, SCENE,
and USER are disabled.
In the JCU display, a down arrow (v) indicates you can access additional menu
choices by moving the puck down or by rotating the puck clockwise. An up arrow
(^) indicates the last menu entry is displayed, and the other choices must be
accessed by moving the puck up or by rotating the puck counterclockwise. A
double arrow indicates you can move up or down in the menu.
