Monitor Tour Programming
A Tour (Sequence) sequentially displays a selected series of
camera video inputs on any monitor. Each camera is displayed
for a set period of time (the “Dwell Time”). A tour may repeat
continuously or may stop (“Hold”) on a selected camera.
A Monitor Tour is a temporary sequence of cameras
programmed for the called monitor. A maximum of 64
cameras may be included in a Monitor Tour. Cameras may be
entered in any order and as often as required.
To program a complete Monitor Tour:
1. Call the monitor on which the tour is to be run.
2. Turn the keyswitch to the PROG position.
3. Call the camera which is to be displayed first in the tour.
4. Enter “62’’ and press the PROG button. This puts the
system in Tour Programming mode, and displays the dwell
time of the called camera in the on-screen Status Line.
CAUTION: The “62 - PROG” removes all cameras from the
sequence for that monitor (sets all dwell times to “0”) - do this
ONLY to establish a completely new tour.
Do not enter “62 - PROG” during the remaining steps. This
removes all previously programmed cameras from the tour and
necessitates complete tour reprogramming.
5. Enter “1” to “60” for the desired dwell time in seconds for
the on-screen camera. To stop and Hold the tour on that
camera, enter “61”.
6. Press the keyboard PROG button. This sets the dwell time
for the on-screen camera to the value entered. The on-
screen display changes to show that dwell time (or “HOLD”
if “61” was entered).
If no more cameras are to be included in the tour, skip to
Step 8; otherwise, continue with Step 7.
7. Call the next camera to be included in the tour. Cameras
need not be inserted in the tour in numerical order.
Repeat Steps 5, 6, and 7 until all cameras to be included in
the tour have been programmed.
8. Press either the HOLD or the RUN button to leave tour
programming. The HOLD button leaves the picture from
the last camera programmed on the monitor. The RUN
button switches the picture to the next camera in the tour
and initiates the tour sequence.
To re-program a single camera in a Monitor Tour:
1. Press the keyboard NEXT button until the camera to be re-
programmed is displayed, then press the HOLD button.
2. Enter “0” and press the PROG button, or press the B-PAS
button, to erase the current tour entry.
CAUTION: Do not enter “62 - PROG” when modifying a
Monitor Tour. This removes all previously programmed
cameras from the tour and necessitates tour reprogramming.
3. Enter the desired dwell time (1 - 60), or Hold (61).
4. Press the keyboard PROG button.
5. Press either HOLD or RUN to leave tour programming.
HOLD leaves the last camera on Hold on the monitor; RUN
starts the Monitor Tour sequence.
A System Tour supercedes a Monitor Tour. When a System
Tour is started on a monitor (page 2-4), any other current tour
programming for that monitor is erased. A System Tour that is
called to a monitor may be altered by the re-programming
steps above. This does not permanently re-program the stored
System Tour, but “changes” it to a temporary or Monitor Tour.
Controlling a Monitor Tour
Following tour programming, a Monitor Tour is controlled in
the same manner as any tour, as described on page 2-4.
If the monitor is in a HOLD, press the RUN button to initiate
the Monitor Tour sequence.
When a tour is running, press the HOLD button to stop the tour
and Hold the camera being displayed.
When a tour is on Hold, the tour may be controlled as follows:
- Press the NEXT button to advance the tour one step and
set the direction of the tour to forward.
- Press the LAST button to back up one step and set the
direction of the tour to reverse.
- Press the B-PAS button to remove the camera on hold.
This erases the camera from the tour (as in Step 2 of re-
programming a tour, above).
- Press the RUN button to continue running the tour.
When running a tour in the forward direction, an “F” is
displayed beside the camera dwell time in the on-screen Status
Line; when running a tour in the reverse direction, an “R” is
displayed. Press the NEXT or LAST button at any time to
change the running direction of the tour.
