JCU Puck
The JCU puck functions like a joystick and can be moved left or right, forward
and back, and rotated in either direction. It can also be pushed in (like a mouse
click) or pulled out. The puck movement is translated to control the pan/tilt
position of the camera, zoom in and out, and freeze the video.
In addition to controlling the camera, you use the puck to navigate through the
on-screen menus and select the options you want. Push the puck forward and
back to move up and down in the menus and push the puck in (click) to select a
menu item.
You can configure how you interact with the puck using two settings that affect
how the system interprets puck movement. Many operators will prefer the way
the system initially works, but you should be aware that the behavior of the puck
can be modified through the system settings, letting you choose the mode that
feels most natural to you. See “Enable (Disable) Aircraft Joystick Mode” on
page 38 and “Enable (Disable) Twist-to-Pan Mode” on page 38 for details about
these settings.
Note:
The puck implements proportional control; therefore, the farther you
rotate it or direct it from center, the faster the camera will move.
