AUTO TRACK : Auto tracking is done for moving objects under the following conditions.

The moving object must be larger than one of the screen blocks (1/48 of screen area), it must have 5 % comparative contrast with the background image.

Notes:

Automatic tracking covers a range from horizontal to directly below the camera. The digital flip function (page 34) does not operate. Also, the pan range can be limited by using the PAN LIMIT setting (this page).

The automatic tracking function incorporated in this system easily tracks moving objects on screen. Moving subjects are not automatically tracked in the following situations.

When multiple moving subjects are on screen

When the subjects are moving very fast

When the subject has little contrast

When moving objects are either large or small

When the image is dark

When the image flickers

Tilting the joystick cycles through settings in the sequence shown below.

OFF SEQ SORT AUTO PAN PATROL1 PATROL2 AUTO TRACK PATROL4 PATROL3

Notes:

The auto mode is exited automatically whenever manual PAN/TILT or ZOOM/FOCUS is performed if AUTO PAN is operating and PAN/TILT does SEQ, SORT, PATROL, or AUTO TRACK movement. Note, however, that that the contents of the setting menu do not change. To return to the auto mode, open the setup menu and then close it again. The auto mode will also activate when the self return trigger time (page 30) elapses.

During operation, the lens may enter the refresh mode.

1.Perform the following steps to set the PAN start point and end point.

(1)Move the cursor to POSITION, press the CAM (SET) button, and then move the cursor to START.

(2)Use the joystick to move the camera to the desired PAN start point, and then press the CAM (SET) button.

2.Move the cursor to SPEED and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a panning speed setting. Shifting the setting towards the "H" (right) side increases the speed, while shifting towards the "L" (left) side decreases it.

3.Move the cursor to ENDLESS, and then tilt the joystick left or right to turn endless panning on or off.

ON : Pans from the start point to the end point, and then continues to pan in the same direction from the end point to the start point. Select OFF for the PAN LIMIT setting (step 5) when using this setting. Panning will be repeated endlessly.

OFF : Pans from the start point to the end point, and then reverses direction to pan from the end point to the start point. Panning is repeated endlessly.

4.Move the cursor to DWELL TIME, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select the start point and end point dwell time setting.

Tilting the joystick cycles through the stop time display in the sequence shown below. (unit: sec)

5.Move the cursor to PAN LIMIT, and then tilt the joystick left or right to toggle it on and off.

ON : Limits manual panning to the zone between the start point and the end point. The TILT range is from 0° to 90°. Select OFF for the ENDLESS setting (step 3) when using this setting.

OFF : Allows manual panning outside the zone between the start point and the end point.

PAN LIMIT

PAN LIMIT allows panning in the area from the start point to the end point specified in step 1, but not in the area from the end point to the start point.
