7.5 Keyboard Operating Instructions

7.5.1Camera Selection

Enter a valid camera number via the numeric keypad and press ENTER. The selected camera then appears on the monitor currently controlled by the keyboard.

NOTE: The keyboard's CAMERA button does not need to be used for simple camera selections. The button is only useful when it’s necessary to cancel a previous incomplete action, such as canceling a monitor selection, and return to the camera number entry mode.

7.5.2Monitor Selection

To select which monitor will respond to the operator 's keyboard commands, press MONITOR. Enter a valid monitor number via the numeric keypad and press ENTER. The number of the selected monitor will appear on the keyboard's monitor display.

7.5.3Lock or Unlock Control of a Camera

Press LOCK, then ON to lock a camera, or OFF to unlock a camera. If the camera to be locked is not the one currently being viewed, enter the camera number via the numeric keyboard, but do not press ENTER, before you press LOCK.

If the Status option is enabled, the section of the on- screen overlay between the camera number and the time now shows "RL", indicating the camera is locked. Activating a camera lock immediately prevents other operators (unless they have a higher priority) from controlling the locked pan/tilt/zoom camera. Remember to unlock the camera when finished so that all operators can access it.

7.5.4Lock or Unlock Control of a Monitor

Press MONITOR, then LOCK and ON to lock a monitor, or OFF to unlock the monitor. If the monitor to be unlocked is not the one currently being controlled by the keyboard, enter the monitor number (but do not press ENTER) after you press the MONITOR key. Then press the LOCK and ON key. If the Status option is enabled, the section of the on-screen overlay between the camera number and the time now shows "ML", indicating the monitor is locked. This prevents other operators (unless they have a higher priority) from changing the video on the monitor being used. Remember to unlock the monitor when finished so that all operators can access it.

NOTE: If an operator with a higher priority accesses a locked monitor and switches to a different camera, the lock will automatically be removed.

7.5.5Recording a Camera Pre-Position Scene

Select a camera with pan/tilt/zoom control (with pre- position options), as described above. Using the joystick and lens controls, adjust the camera to view the scene to be stored. Press SET, then select the scene number using the numeric keypad, and press ENTER. The camera position is now stored, for later recall.

If an AutoDome® camera is being used, certain pre- position commands are also used to activate operational features and functions. Refer to the AutoDome operation manual for complete information. If a conventional Allegiant Receiver/Driver is being controlled, the pan/tilt/zoom lens must have the necessary options for pre-position operation.

Certain AutoDome models and Allegiant Receiver/Driver series have the capability to disable a previously stored pre-position or remove one from a pre- position tour by pressing SET, the digit 9, followed by the 2-digit pre-position number. Information supplied with the device will identify whether this feature is available.

7.5.6Recalling a Camera Pre-Position Scene

Select the camera to be activated and press SHOT, then enter a previously stored camera scene number via the numeric keypad and press ENTER. The camera automatically returns to the previously stored position.

If a second pre-position is called prior to the completion of the first, the camera moves directly to the second shot. If using an AutoDome camera, certain pre-position commands may be used to activate operational features and functions. Refer to the AutoDome operation manual for more information.

7.5.7Activate/deactivate Auxiliary Function

To turn on an auxiliary function of a remote camera device, press ON, enter the number of the auxiliary to be activated, and press ENTER. Holding down the ENTER key causes the auxiliary function to be sent repeatedly. This capability is useful when the auxiliary is activating a housing window washer function, or a temporary light source.
