USING DCN AUTOMATIC CAMERA CONTROL

Camera override

The ‘Camera override’ option allows you to determine whether a newly- switched on microphone automatically activates the camera covering its position, or whether the camera is only activated when the current micro- phone is switched off. To activate this option:

• Click on the ‘Camera override’ check box.

Camera movement time

3To hide camera movement (as a preposition camera moves from one posi- tion to the next), the overview camera can be activated and displayed during the movement. This option enables the period for which the camera move- ment is hidden to be set between 0.5 seconds and 60 seconds in 0.5 second steps. The default is 1 second. To alter the camera movement time:

Use the up and down arrow keys to select the required setting.

NOTE: This function can only be activated if the overview camera is a fixed camera. A setting of 0 seconds disables the option.

Number of audience monitors

The number of audience monitors (excluding the operator monitor) can be set to between 1 and 4. All audience monitors show the same picture. The default is 1 audience monitor. To alter the number of audience monitors:

• Use the up and down arrow keys to select the required setting.

NOTE: It is recommended that the number selected corresponds to the actu- al number of audience monitors present in the venue. If the number selected is higher than this, there may be some reduction in system performance.

After you have made all the required settings:

• Click on the ‘OK’ push button.

The settings will be saved, and you will return to the ‘Camera Installation’ window. To exit the ‘Settings’ window without saving any changes:

• Click on the ‘Cancel’ push button.

NOTE: In stand-alone systems, when all settings have been specified and the Camera Control software has been exited, it is necessary to make a direct connection between the CCU and the Allegiant video switcher to enable cam- era control by the DCN system. For information concerning the required con- nections, refer to the DCN Installation and Operating manual Addendum.
