SENDING AUXILIARY COMMANDS TO A DEVICE
The DX8100 auxiliary feature allows you to control external equipment connected to the auxiliary outputs of Spectra domes or Esprit positioning
systems. The auxiliary function is implemented through the D protocol and P protocol. In this case, the attached camera and DX8100 must be
configured to communicate using one of these protocols.
The Aux key selects the auxiliary mode. Buttons 1-4 select which of the camera’s auxiliary outputs to operate. Buttons 1-4 operate as a toggle
(on/off) each time they are clicked.
For example, an Esprit equipped with a wiper uses Aux 1 to control the wiper. In this case, pressing Aux and then 1 sends a command to the
Esprit to operate the wiper. You must configure the camera to establish how the camera responds to an auxiliary command. For detailed
information about how a specific Spectra or Esprit camera system interprets auxiliary commands, refer to the documentation t hat accompanies
your Spectra or Esprit camera system.
To send an auxiliary command:
1. On the PTZ keypad, click the Set button to enter the programming mode.
2. Select the camera in the DX8100 view panel to which you want to send the auxiliary command.
3. Click the Aux button. Keypad buttons 1-4 are available.

4. Click a keypad button (1-4). The auxiliary function, assigned by camera for the selected button, is executed.
CONFIGURING PRESET TOURS
A preset tour allows a camera to move through a programmed sequence of PTZ presets. The DX8100 Series HVR can store up to four preset
tours. While four tours can be programmed, only one tour can be activated at a time. A preset tour will operate continuously until another PTZ
control action is performed. At least one PTZ preset must be set in order to create a preset tour.
