1.1 DESCRIPTION
The JPD-101 Joystick Controller is an operator interface device designed to
remotely control FastScan pan and tilt units, SmartScan pan and tilt units, and
CAT video switchers. There are various models of FastScan and SmartScan
pan and tilt units. The features vary between models. The JPD-101 Controller is

may have a feature that is not supported by your model pan and tilt unit. Refer to
your specific pan and tilt unit’s operation and programming manual for the
available features.
The JPD-101 Controller has one 3-axis proportional joystick for pan, tilt, and
zoom control and one 2-axis joystick for lens iris and focus control. It has two 12-
key keypads for data entry and system control. Each controller has eight
function keys across the top of the controller that can be programmed to perform
one or more system functions (up to 8) with a single keystroke.
An LCD Display in the center of the controller shows the control camera and
monitor, operator entered keystrokes and system messages and prompts. The
language for the LCD display is selectable between English, French, German, or
Spanish.
