Operating procedures

3Press the START POINT button.

The lamps of the buttons among TRACING MEMORY buttons 1 to 10 where data can be registered now light.

≥The lamps of the buttons with numbers exceeding the number of memories set by the MEMORY LENGTH menu setting do not light.

≥If the lamp of any button among the number of memories in which data can be set is off, it means that data has already been registered in the button. When registering data in such a button, delete the existing data in its memory first.

4Press the number of the button in which the data is to be registered.

Only the lamp of the button pressed now lights, and START button flashes. The pan/tilt head position and camera settings prevailing at this time are recorded as the start position of the tracing memory.

≥ When the STOP button is now operated, the registration of the tracing memory data is canceled.

5Press the START button.

The lamp of the START button stops flashing and goes off, then the recording standby mode is established. ≥ If the STOP button is now operated, the registration of the tracing memory data is canceled.

6Since tracing memory recording starts at the point where the PAN, TILT, ZOOM or FOCUS control is operated, proceed to register the data.

The lamp of the START button stops flashing, and the lamp of the STOP button starts flashing. As a general rule, the time which can be stored in the memory is about 6 seconds for each of the PRESET MEMORY buttons No.1 to 10 and about 60 seconds for each of the PRESET MEMORY buttons No.11 to 30.

Starting with the No.10 button, the button lamps go off every 6 seconds to indicate the remaining time for recording in the memory. When the lamps of all the buttons have gone off, the buzzer sounds, and the registration of the tracing memory data is ended.

≥To suspend the recording of the tracing memory data at any time, press the STOP button.

The operations performed up to the moment when the recording was suspended are registered as the tracing memory data.

≥The buzzer sounds when the tracing memory data recording starts, is suspended or ends.

7If necessary, register the data in TRACING MEMORY buttons No.1 to 10.

8Select another pan/tilt head system using the CONTROL SELECT button, and proceed with the tracing memory data settings for the pan/tilt head system concerned. Repeat this step for all the pan/tilt head systems.

The tracing memory information is recorded in the pan/tilt heads and control panels.

If a pan/tilt head or control panel is replaced, re-register the data in the tracing memory.

Playing the tracing memory data

1Select the pan/tilt head system using one of the CONTROL SELECT buttons.

2Press the button in which the tracing memory data to be played is registered.

The pan/tilt head system is set to the start position registered in the tracing memory.

3After the pan/tilt head system has been set to the start position registered in the tracing memory and stopped, the operation of the data registered in the tracing memory can be started by pressing the button corresponding to the tracing memory in which that data is registered.

≥To suspend the play of the tracing memory data at any time, press the STOP button. Play is also suspended when the PAN, TILT, ZOOM or FOCUS control is operated.

≥The buzzer sounds when tracing memory play starts, is suspended or ends.
