American Dynamics Matrix Keyboard !

Everyday Tasks 3-5

Note: Some domes support the resume Auto Iris /Auto Focus

command. Press the Iris Open and Iris Close buttons simultaneously

to issue the command. The command is available only on domes that

support this function.

Most systems allow you to manually step through the camera entries programmed

into the Sequence/Tour (if so programmed) by pressing the Next and Last buttons.

Refer to the appropriate operating instructions to determine if this feature is available

on your system.

The Next and Last buttons are located to the left of (Monitor button).

After calling a pan/tilt camera to view and control on a system monitor, press the

Lock button to prevent other operators from controlling the movements of the

camera. Other operators may call the locked camera, but they cannot control its

movements.

Regardless of keyboard prioritization, only the keyboard that locks a camera can

unlock it. To unlock the camera, call the camera to the monitor and press the Lock

button again.

! IMPORTANT

The matrix keyboard itself provides no visual indicator that a camera

has been locked. However, the keyboard produces an audible tone if

an attempt is made to move the locked camera on all but the original

keyboard—if audible alerts are enabled. The selected video monitor

also displays the status message “LOCKED”.

If you forget which keyboard has locked a camera, locate all keyboards

and perform a simple control test on each for that camera. The

keyboard that does not produce any error messages is the keyboard

responsible for locking the camera.

If the locked condition persists, contact Technical Support for

instructions on performing a “warm” reset on the switcher. This causes

the switcher to release all locked cameras. This type of reset should not

be confused with a complete “System Reset” which restores all system

settings to factory defaults.
