Keyboard Installation and Operation

Controlling a Camera’s Pan, Tilt and Zoom

Once an appropriately equipped camera has been called to view on a monitor, the operator can manually control the camera's movement. Pan is the side-to- side movement of the camera. Tilt is the up and down movement of the camera.

The ADCC1100 joystick controls the panning and tilting of cameras connected to the switching matrix. As the joystick is moved to the left or right, and is moved towards or away from the operator, the camera will pan and/or tilt accordingly.

For cameras with variable speed pan/tilt capability, camera movement speed is proportional to the positioning of the joystick. The further from the stationary centre position the joystick travels, the faster the camera will move.

Zoom refers to the apparent action of moving closer to or farther away from an object, as seen through the camera lens. For cameras equipped with an appro- priate zoom lens, the zoom function can be controlled from the joystick by twisting it clockwise or counterclockwise. Twisting clockwise enables the lens to zoom in. Twisting counterclockwise enables the lens to zoom out.

Center the joystick when the camera has been positioned appropriately.
