1-6 • The system's cameras enable you to monitor activity throughout a facility from a single location. You can see video from up to 16 cameras. The AD TOUCH TRACKER 16 system is compatible with programmable and non-programmable domes, PTZ cameras, and fixed cameras. • The TOUCH TRACKER is the device you use to select cameras and manually control their movement, as well as adjust their zoom, focus, and iris. The TOUCH TRACKER enables you to perform automated camera operations and clear system alarms.
An Overview of the TOUCH TRACKER The TOUCH TRACKER, shown here, is a video control station that provides you with easy access to a variety of video control features—from basic camera control to advanced automated functions.
The keypad contains buttons that call up video from individual cameras and control the pre-programmed movement of those cameras. It also contains the buttons for camera iris control, dome output control, and monitor display formats. It also allows you to clear dome alarms from the TOUCH TRACKER keypad. The LCD, located at the top of the keypad, displays the currently selected camera number, Pattern Number, and Quick View number. It enables you to see the numbers you enter from the keypad as you enter them.
• Display the ID code for the currently selected dome. (Refer to “Displaying a Dome's ID Code,” in Chapter 5.) In the camera control mode, the currently selected camera number appears on the LCD. If there is a Quick View or a Pattern running, this is also indicated. In this mode the Tracker Ball functions as the camera pan/tilt controller, and the zoom and focus buttons control the zoom and focus of the currently selected camera.

How the System Resolves Conflicts in Camera Control If your system configuration includes two TOUCH TRACKERs, the Main TOUCH TRACKER will always have priority over the Call TOUCH TRACKER when the system is in the camera control mode. Whichever camera the Main operator has selected will be “locked” and the Call operator will not be able to control it. The Call operator can select that camera and display its video on the Call monitor; however, he or she will not be able to control that camera at all.
If you select a camera via the Main TOUCH TRACKER, its video appears on the Main monitor. If you select a camera via the Call TOUCH TRACKER, its video appears on the Call monitor. Stepping Through the Cameras The Previous and Next buttons enable you to manually step through all of the cameras, one at a time. Press the Previous and Next buttons to step backward and forward, one camera at a time, through all of the cameras configured for your system.
Controlling Zoom and Focus Once you have selected a camera, you can control the zoom and focus settings of that camera. When the TOUCH TRACKER is initially installed, the Zoom button is on the left side of the Tracker Ball and the Focus button is on the right side of the Tracker Ball. To make operation more flexible, you can switch the functionality of these buttons so that the Zoom button is on the right side and the Focus button is on the left side.
even darker or lighter. There are buttons on the keypad that enable you to control the camera's iris, which is the device that regulates the brightness or darkness of the picture. To make the picture brighter, press the Iris Open button. To make the picture darker, press the Iris Close button. To return the iris to its default setting, press both iris buttons simultaneously. “Flipping” the SpeedDome You can flip a SpeedDome 180° in the opposite direction.
The following procedure describes how to initiate the Apple Peel pattern. 1. Use the number buttons to enter the number of the SpeedDome for which you want to initiate the Apple Peel pattern (for example, camera 2). Then press the Camera button. 2. Press the Peel button. The LCD displays the following message: Cam 2 Apple Peel Patn The Apple Peel pattern will repeat itself indefinitely until you issue a camera command (pan, tilt, zoom, focus, or iris) to the dome running the pattern.
The View button on the keypad allows you to call up the Quick Views that you have defined for your cameras. Depending on the type of dome, either 4 or 96 Quick Views may be defined. If a list has been compiled for your facility, you can refer to the List of Quick Views in Appendix A to determine which Quick Views are available for which domes. The following procedure describes how to display a Quick View. 1.
Running Patterns IMPORTANT The SpeedDome LT supports a feature called “Auto Pan” that allows you to program a smooth side-to-side camera movement for an area. When programmed, this feature is accessed using Pattern 1 for the dome. Please refer to the section in Chapter 4 titled “SpeedDome LT Auto Pan Programming,” for additional information about this feature. A Pattern is a sequential series of pan, tilt, zoom, and focus movements from a single camera.
2. Use the number buttons to enter the number of the Pattern you want to run. Then press the Pattern button (if you want the Pattern to run one time and then stop), or press the Repeat Pattern button (if you want the Pattern to repeat indefinitely until you stop it). If that Pattern exists for that camera, the Pattern will automatically begin running. If that Pattern does not exist for that camera, the camera will run the default Apple Peel pattern.
Running the Sequence Tip: The Sequence is started from the Main TOUCH TRACKER only. The Sequence is a collection of Quick Views and Patterns that have been defined for your system's cameras. In the Sequence you can also include fixed shots from any camera. The Sequence can include up to 16 of these Quick Views, Patterns, and fixed shots; these are referred to as the “events” of the Sequence. When the Sequence is running, these events are automatically displayed, one after the other, on the Main monitor.
As the Sequence is running, the LCD indicates which camera's video is displayed, which event in the Sequence is currently active, and how many seconds remain in that event's duration time. The Sequence will repeat itself indefinitely until you press either the Seq button or the Clear button on the Main TOUCH TRACKER. Controlling Dome Outputs The programmable domes at your facility can have outputs connected to them.
output off). The List of Inputs and Outputs provides the on and off states for each output. Depending on whether you turned the output on or off in the previous step, the LCD displays one of the following messages: Cam 13 Output On -or- Cam 13 Output Off If you entered an invalid output number (any number greater than 4 or an output that does not exist) the TOUCH TRACKER beeps. Clearing System Alarms Tip: Alarms can be cleared from the Main TOUCH TRACKER only.
There can be up to four alarms active at one time. If more than four alarms are active at one time, and none of them have been cleared, the oldest alarm gets “pushed out” of the queue. The following illustration is an example of what the LCD looks like when alarms are active. This is the camera whose video appears on the monitor during the alarm. This indicates how many alarms are currently active.
The TOUCH TRACKER stops beeping once all active alarms have been cleared. If the TOUCH TRACKER was running the Sequence before the alarm came in, it will restart the Sequence from the beginning. If you were in the middle of programming when the alarm came in, you will have to resume programming from the beginning.

Defining a Quick View IMPORTANT The SpeedDome Ultra III and newer domes support up to 96 views. Older programmable domes support up to 4 views. The TOUCH TRACKER beeps when you attempt to program a view numbered higher than 4 on domes older than the SpeedDome Ultra III. A Quick View automatically and instantaneously calls up a view from a programmable dome, regardless of where that dome is currently pointing. You can define your own Quick Views to support your specific needs.
The TOUCH TRACKER is now in the menu/programming mode, and the menu appears: Calibration Define Sequence 4. Use the Tracker Ball to scroll through the menu selections until Setup View is displayed on the LCD. Setup View Record Pattern 5. Press the appropriate button, zoom or focus, to select Setup View.
In the List of Quick Views (found in Appendix A of this manual), make a record of the Quick View you just defined, including a brief description of what the Quick View is “looking at.” Tip: A short cut method for defining Quick Views is available. Press Menu, View, the Quick View number, and Zoom or Focus to create a Quick View of the current scene. Defining a Pattern You can define your own Patterns to support your specific needs. You can program up to three Patterns per programmable dome.
Tip: You must use the Main TOUCH TRACKER to define Patterns. The SpeedDome LT does not support Pattern programming. Refer to the section in this chapter titled “SpeedDome LT Auto Pan Programming” for information about setting the Auto Pan feature. The following procedure describes how to define a Pattern. 1. Using the number buttons, enter the number of the programmable camera for which you are defining the Pattern (for example, camera 3). Then press the Camera button. 2.
4. Use the Tracker Ball to scroll through the menu selections until Record Pattern is displayed. Record Pattern Alarm Actions 5. Press the appropriate button—zoom or focus—to select Record Pattern. The following prompt appears on the LCD: Cam 3 Enter Patrn#? Note If you press a number that has already been assigned to a Pattern for this camera, the new Pattern will overwrite the existing Pattern. There is no warning to indicate that the existing Pattern will be replaced. Use caution. 6.

The following message appears on the LCD: Cam 3 Pattern Saved The TOUCH TRACKER automatically returns to the camera control mode. In the List of Patterns (in Appendix A of this manual), make a record of the Pattern you just defined, including a brief description of the Pattern.
• What are the numbers that were assigned to those Quick Views and Patterns when they were defined? • What are the camera numbers that the Quick Views and Patterns were defined on? What are the camera numbers whose fixed shots you want to include? It is recommended that you to fill out the Setup Sequence Worksheet in Appendix A before you begin setting up the Sequence.
column 4 “Dur” is the amount of time, in seconds, that the event will remain on the monitor before the Sequence switches to the next event. This is the event's duration time. The maximum duration time is 90 seconds. When the fields in an event have dashes in them instead of values, the event is not defined. Leaving an event undefined instructs the Sequence to skip that event. When the TOUCH TRACKER is in the menu/programming mode, the Tracker Ball enables you to move the cursor around on the LCD.
Defining the Sequence Tip: You must use the Main TOUCH TRACKER to define the Sequence. The following procedure describes how to define the Sequence. 1. Press the Menu button on the keypad. The TOUCH TRACKER is now in the menu/programming mode, and the menu appears: Calibration Define Sequence 2. Press the appropriate button—zoom or focus—to select Define Sequence.
5. In the Act field, indicate the type of Action (Quick View, Pattern, or fixed shot) you are specifying for this event. Press View to indicate a Quick View or a fixed shot; press Pattern to indicate a Pattern. 6. Use the number buttons on the keypad to designate the specific number of this Quick View or Pattern. This number was assigned to the Quick View or Pattern when it was initially defined. If you want the Action to be a fixed shot, press the Clear button. 7.
state, and this triggers an alarm. (Refer to your List of Inputs and Outputs in Appendix A to determine the normal and abnormal state for each input.) When an alarm is triggered, it can automatically call up one video action (either a Quick View, a Pattern, or a fixed shot) and initiate one output. This video action must have been defined for the same dome that the output is connected to, and vice versa.
4. Press the appropriate button—zoom or focus—to select Alarm Actions. The information for that camera's first alarm input appears on the LCD. When you set up an alarm, you will indicate which Quick View, Pattern, or fixed shot will be called up when the alarm is triggered. You will also indicate which output initiates when this alarm is triggered. The video action and the output must be associated with the same dome. A sample setup alarm LCD is shown here.
Even though you can only see the information for one alarm input at a time, each camera can have four alarm inputs. When the TOUCH TRACKER is in the menu/programming mode, the Tracker Ball enables you to move the cursor around on the LCD. The blinking square on the LCD indicates the cursor's location. Move the Tracker Ball left and right to move the cursor among the fields on the LCD. 5. When the setup alarm LCD is first displayed, the cursor is in the Cam field for input 1 of the camera you indicated.
video of wherever the camera (that you indicated in Step 6) is currently pointing. 9. Move the Tracker Ball to the right. In the Out field, indicate the specific output that initiates when this alarm is triggered. Use the number buttons to enter the number. Remember, this output must be connected to the camera you assigned in Step 6. If you do not want an output to be initiated, leave this field blank. 10.
• Although it appears to have three Patterns available to program, you can only program the Auto Pan feature for Pattern 1. • Any extraneous movements made during the Auto Pan programming will be ignored when the programming is complete. Once the end point of the Auto Pan is set, the result will be a smooth pan between the start point and the end point of the Auto Pan. • Do not attempt to create an Auto Pan that is greater than one revolution (360º) of the SpeedDome LT.
3. When you have the perfect “starting point” picture displayed on the monitor, press the Menu button. The TOUCH TRACKER is now in the menu/programming mode, and the menu appears: Calibration Define Sequence 4. Use the Tracker Ball to scroll through the menu selections until Record Pattern is displayed. Record Pattern Alarm Actions 5. Press the appropriate button—zoom or focus—to select Record Pattern.
If you pressed an invalid number (any number greater than 3), the TOUCH TRACKER will beep and the system will not allow you to program the Pattern. If this happens, simply press a valid number and continue with this procedure. 8. Move the camera until you see end point for the Auto Pan you are programming. Keep in mind this end point must be less than one full revolution of the dome. 9. When you see the end point, press the Next button.
