PTZ PATTERNS

A pattern is a user-defined, viewable camera path with a definite beginning and end. Patterns are made up of a sequence of standard pan, tilt
and lens commands. Patterns are stored in the internal memory of the PTZ device, such as a Spectra® dome, that is conn ected to the DX8000.
Depending on the type and configuration of the PTZ device, the DX8000 can address up to four unique PTZ patterns. Once defined, a pattern can
be activated with a series of on-screen commands. A pattern will run continuously until it is deactivated.
Only PTZ-enabled cameras that support pattern programming through D, P, or Coaxitron protocols can use this feature.
The PTZ controls are hidden in the extended view mode. In this case, select the standard view mode to display the PTZ controls.
