Chapter 3: Using the AD2088 in Operate Mode
This chapter describes how to call cameras to view on workstation monitors, and explains how to
control the movement of pan/tilt cameras, and how to zoom, focus, and adjust the iris of a camera
lens. The chapter discusses how to run tours, patterns, and macros, and how to call a salvo. There
is also an explanation on how to select a VCR and control the various VCR functions. In addition,
procedures are provided for acknowledging alarms, and controlling auxiliary devices such as door
locks and lights.
User Numbers and Passcodes
Depending on the setup of the switching system being used, an operator may have to enter a user
code and passcode on the AD2088 keyboard in order to gain system access. If a user code is
required, the letters “
UC
” appear in the CAMERA display to prompt the operator. After entering
the appropriate user code, the operator is prompted by the letters “
PSC
” in the CAMERA display.
After entering the appropriate passcode, the operator has system access.
Consult with your system administrator to verify the appropriate user number and passcode for
your keyboard.
Logging On to the System
To log on to the system:
1. Enter your user code (assigned by the system administrator) on the numeric keypad
2. Press the ACK key
The system prompts for the user passcode by displaying "PSC" in the CAMERA display.
3. Enter the assigned passcode (maximum of six digits) on the numeric keypad.
If an incorrect passcode is entered, press the CLEAR key, and then repeat step 3.
4. Press the ACK key.
If the passcode is accepted, the CAMERA display window clears. This confirms that the keyboard
is communicating with the system, and that a monitor can be "called" to the keyboard.
Logging Off from the System
When a user shift is completed, it is advisable to log off from the keyboard to insure system
security.
To log off from the system:
• Press [99], [F1].
Selection of Monitor or VCR Mode of Operation
The 2088 can be operated in one of two modes –
Monitor
or
VCR
. The current mode of operation
is indicated by a dash appearing on the Monitor/VCR display. If the dash is positioned directly
beneath the display’s monitor label, the unit is in
Monitor
mode. If the dash is positioned directly
above the display’s VCR label, the unit is in
VCR
mode.
• To select VCR mode, press the VCR key.
• To select Monitor mode, press the MON key.
If the user does not enter a number prior to pressing either the VCR or Monitor keys, the keyboard
“remembers” the number of the last VCR or monitor selected prior to toggling to the alternate
mode.
