Running Patterns
A pattern is a sequential series of pan, tilt, zoom, and focus commands defined for SpeedDome
series domes. A pattern is programmed in
real time
, which means that the dome remembers each
pattern segment in the actual time it takes the operator to execute a command. For example, if,
during a pattern sequence, the dome focuses on a door for 30 seconds, the door scene will appear
for 30 seconds when the pattern is called to run. Patterns are set in the Program mode, which is
discussed in the following chapter. Patterns are run in the Operate mode. Note: pattern command
sequences can vary depending on the switching system and accessories used. Consult the
appropriate product manual(s) if necessary.
To run a pattern:
1. Call the camera that the pattern will run on (see page 3-2).
2. Enter the pattern number on the numeric keypad. The pattern number will appear in the
ENTER display.
3. Press the PATRN key (P-1, P-2, or P-3 appear in the ENTER display) and then press the RUN
key. The camera will sequence through the pattern movements once.
To repeat a pattern:
1. Follow the procedure described immediately above to run a pattern.
2. After pressing the PATRN key (P-1, P-2, or P-3 appear in the ENTER display), press the
ACK key to repeat the pattern.
To hold a pattern:
1. Follow the procedure to run a pattern.
2. After pressing the PATRN key, press the HOLD key to bring the camera or dome to the
starting point of the pattern and hold there.
Running a Macro
A macro is a sequence of keyboard inputs of up to 21 keystrokes, that is executed by typing the
macro’s numeric identifier (up to four digits), and pressing the macro’s designated key. A macro
can be made up of all Monitor mode inputs, all VCR mode inputs, or a combination of both.
To run a macro:
1. Type the macro’s numeric identifier.
2. Press the macro key (the macro is executed).
Procedures and examples of macro programming are covered in the following chapter.
