Select Tour Type
Two tour types are available, monitor and salvo. In a monitor tour, video from various cameras and various
preset positions display on a selected monitor in a predefined order. Monitor selection is performed at the
keypad. For example, monitor tour 1 might be defined as camera 1 preset 10 (step 1) then camera 44 preset
1 (second step). If an operator selects any monitor and then selects monitor tour 1 then that monitor displays
camera 1’s preset 10 and then displays camera 44’s preset 1. Each video display is a “step” in the tour. In a
salvo tour, each step is a predefined salvo. For example, salvo 1 activates, then salvo 63, then salvo 22, etc.
Salvos are defined as discussed in

Edit Tour
The tour is defined as a monitor or salvo tour as discussed in Select Tour Type . The tour type chosen dictates
the screen which will display by selecting “2” from the first Sequential Tour Pattern screen. Follow the
procedure in
Define a Monitor Tour or Define a Salvo Tour .
Define a Monitor Tour
Monitor tours must be defined by specifying the video to be displayed for each step in the tour. When the
monitor tour is selected at the keypad, the tour will run on the currently selected monitor. Each step of the tour
defines the video to be displayed at a relative time in the tour. For example, step 3 is performed after step 2
and before step 4. The Preset and Camera settings define the pan-and-tilt and lens preset which the camera
station will recall at each specified step. The speed defines the relative speed at which the pan-and-tilt unit
will travel to the preset position. A higher number corresponds to a faster speed. The speed setting is only
applicable for the receivers or domes that support that function. The dwell time controls the length of time in
seconds for each step in the tour. Note that the dwell time begins after the pan-and-tilt drive has reached the
preset position.
It is not required that the total number of steps be defined. Maintain the default settings of 00 for undefined
steps.
Note: Press the F2 key to insert a blank line. Press the F3 key to delete a line.
