Zones
The Zone function is available on Esprit and Spectra positioning systems. This function puts a label on
the screen to identify the viewing area. Zones can also be blanked* to prevent viewing while the camera
is positioned in the zone.
Up to eight pan (horizontal) zones can be defined (zones are not affected by tilt or zoom). Higher num-
bered zones take precedence so that if zones overlap, the one with the higher number is in effect. Zone
programming is outlined in Table H.
