Editing Steps in a Tour
The following parameters can be edited for every step in a tour. Steps must be edited one at a time—the next step is not
enabled until the previous one has been completed. To edit a field, double-click in it and set as required.
Note
In this screen it is possible to use the drag down method to change multiple fields in a column to the same setting.
Select the required option in the uppermost field and then click and drag the cursor over the fields below that are to be
set the same. Press the
Enter
key to copy the setting to the highlighted fields.
Field
Description
Link
If
No
is selected, the link function is not enabled. The next tour step is displayed after the specified dwell
time for the previous tour step has elapsed. A typical tour that shows a sequence of different camera
views on a single monitor will have
No
in this field on every tour step.
If
Yes
is selected for a tour step, the next tour step will be simultaneously called to the next contiguous
monitor. A dwell time is specified for the first step in this emulated salvo (this is not a system salvo).
Subsequent steps in this emulated salvo will have their dwell time cells automatically disabled. The last
step of the emulated salvo should have the
Link
field set to
No
.
If
Salvo
is selected, a pre-programmed system salvo is called for the specified dwell time. The desired
salvo number is specified in the
Salvo #
field.
If
Tour
is selected, another pre-programmed system tour can be called. The desired tour number is
specified in the
Tour #
field. This selection links two tours together to form a larger camera sequence.
Tour
can only be selected as the last step of a system tour.
When a tour calls another tour, the sequence does not automatically return to the original tour unless
specified in the second tour.
Cam #
If the
Link
field is set to
Yes
or
No
, this field is enabled and can be used to select the video input that is
called at this tour step. Enter the video input pseudo number. This field is disabled if the
Link
field is set
to
Tour
or
Salvo
.
Salvo #
This field is only enabled when the
Link
field is set to
Salvo
. It is then used to specify the pre-programmed
salvo number that is to be called at this tour step.
Tour #
This field is only enabled when the
Link
field is set to
Tour
. It is then used to specify the pre-programmed
tour number that is to be called at this tour step. It should be noted that a tour cannot call itself.
Dwell
This field is used to set the length of time that the tour step remains active. Once the period expires, the
next tour step is displayed. A dwell time can range from 1 to 60 seconds. An entry of
61
will hold
the
current camera view until the
Run
key is pressed on the controlling keyboard.
Preset #
If the
Link
field is set to
Yes
or
No
, this field can be used to recall a preset on the specified camera. A
preset is a programmed camera view determined by a camera with pan/tilt and/or lens adjustment
capability. In a MegaPower 48+ system, presets can range from 1 to 96.
If no preset is to be called, set this field to
0
. A preset and a pattern cannot be called simultaneously in
one tour step (see below). Therefore, if the
Pattern
field is completed, the
Preset
field is disabled.
Pattern
If the
Link
field is set to
Yes
or
No
, this field can be used to recall a pattern on the specified camera. A
pattern is a series of pre-programmed camera views programmed in real time. In a MegaPower 48+
system, patterns can range from 1 to 3. When calling a pattern, ensure that the dwell time for the tour
step is equal to or greater than the total time required to run the pattern.
If no pattern is to be called, set this field to
None
. A pattern and a preset cannot be called simultaneously
in one tour step (see above). Therefore, if the
Preset
field is completed, the
Pattern
field is disabled.
Aux
If a camera that is called is equipped with auxiliary relays that control a switched device (door lock, light,
gate, etc.), then these relays can be activated using this field. If no auxiliary action is required for the
tour entry, set this field to
Disabled
. Relays 1-4 can be set to
ON
. Relays 1-3 can be set to
OFF
.
