1 Getting Started
Install and wire the AutoDome according to the VG5 AutoDome Installation Manual. A typical
system includes a keyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and appropriate wiring connections.
Please refer to the individual product manuals for complete installation and setup instructions
for each of the system components.

1.1 Powering On

When you turn the AutoDome power on there is a ten (10) second pause before the dome
starts its homing phase. During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and tilts up
and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire homing phase lasts approximately 40
seconds and ends with a firmware version screen.
