Selecting Monitors
Workstation monitors display the video from the cameras and domes installed in local and/or
satellite facilities.
Each monitor has an identification number documented by the system
administrator.
To select a monitor:
1. Enter the monitor identification number on the numeric keypad (the number will appear in the
ENTER display).
2. Press the MON key. (the monitor identification number will appear in the MONITOR/VCR
display window. The ENTER display will clear). This monitor has now been
called
to the
keyboard. Camera video can now be viewed on the called monitor. Note: when the monitor
key is pressed a horizontal line segment appears below the monitor display label.
Calling a Camera to View on a Monitor
After a monitor has been called to the control of the AD2088 (see page 3-1), a camera can be
called to view on the monitor. Each system camera has a unique identification number documented
by the system administrator.
To call a camera:
1. Enter the camera identification number on the numeric keypad (the number appears in the
ENTER display).
2. Press the CAM key (the number clears from the ENTER display, and appears in the
CAMERA display).
The selected video input now appears on the monitor screen. After calling a camera to the selected
monitor, any other camera can be called to the monitor by repeating the two step procedure
described above.
Controlling a Camera's Pan and Tilt
Once an appropriately equipped camera has been called to view on a monitor, the operator can
manually control the camera's movement.
Pan
is the side-to-side movement of the camera.
Tilt
is
the up and down movement of the camera.
The AD2088 joystick controls the panning and tilting of cameras connected to the switching
system. As the joystick is moved to the left or right, and is moved towards or away from the
operator, the camera will pan and/or tilt accordingly.
For cameras with variable speed pan/tilt capability, camera movement speed is proportional to the
positioning of the joystick. The further from the stationary center position the joystick travels, the
faster the camera will move. There are eight independent speed levels for the up, down, left, and
right directions.
Center the joystick when the camera has been positioned appropriately.
