camera tilt
Moves the shot vertically.
Autoframing pauses when the camera receives this command.
The amount of tilt available depends on the zoom level. A tight shot can move more than a wide one.
(See
How It Works: Digital Pan/Tilt/Zoom
.) If the camera is fully zoomed out, tilt commands do not result
in a change, because there is no room to shift the shot.
The
camera tilt set
command specifies where the shot is to be centered in terms of pixel row, not
angle. If the camera cannot center the shot on the specified row, it gets as close as possible
Example:
camera tilt set 864
specifies that the shot should center at the topmost row of pixels.
This isn't possible, so the camera centers the shot as close to the top row of pixels as possible. No error
is generated if the command specifies a pixel row that exists.
