EY FEATURES
1. Iris and Gain Controls *: Iris and gain can be adjusted from knobs for real-time control of these
critical functions. There are also buttons for auto iris and backlight compensation.
2. Detail *: Detail adjusts the sharpness of the camera’s output.
3. Color Controls *: Red and blue gain allow adjust the color of the camera’s image sensor. In
addition there are both a one-push white balance and auto white balance.
4. Focus Adjustments: A large focus wheel helps with accurate focusing. An auto focus button, and
fast focus are located next to the focus wheel. Pressing Fast Focus once zooms the camera in all of
the way, allowing the user to adjust the focus manually. Pressing Fast Focus again zooms the
camera back out to the preset zoom position. NOTE: Focus controls can only be used with
compatible cameras.
5. Control A and B Buses: Selects which camera to control (PTZ, Iris, Color, Presets, etc.) on the
Control A or B bus (A Bus is default but is user definable). Control codes for external video switchers
and mixers can be programmed into the Precision Camera Controller for remote control of switcher
functions on Control A and Control B buses (menu selection).
6. Camera Presets: 14 presets are available for each PTZ camera connected.
7. Joystick Controller: The new 3-axis Hall-Effect joystick has been redesigned and is taller than our
previous joysticks for smoother, more accurate pan, tilt and zoom control. In addition, there is a
button on top which will move the camera automatically to the home position.
8. Pan, Tilt Zoom Speed Adjustments: Individual pan, tilt and zoom speed knobs are located above
the joystick for adjusting those speeds on the camera selected. The speed adjustments are discreet,
allowing for setting speeds for each camera connected to the system.
9. Menu and Power Buttons: Setting up the Precision Camera Controller is easy through the four
buttons. The power button, when pressed and held will power down the Precision Camera Controller
and the cameras connected.
10. LCD Screen: An 8-line LCD provides status on camera controls (gain, iris, etc.) as well as the menu
information for setting up the device.
* Certain cameras (i.e. Canon VC-C50i, Vaddio Add-A-Cam) cannot utilize certain functions called out in Features 1,
2 & 3, due to limitations of the camera systems.
