Image Sections And Virtual PTZ Features
You can choose between the following options for zooming:
• Roll the mouse wheel forwards to zoom in on an image area. Roll the mouse wheel
backwards to zoom out from an image area.
• Click on a position in the image to quickly zoom in on the image area. If you double-
click, you zoom out of the image section and the image is centered. Clicking on the
upper or lower third of a Panorama view, however, will not result in automatic zoom-
ing; instead, the image section will pan upwards or downwards to show previously
unseen areas. Clicking on the center of the image performs the usual zooming and
centering of this image area.
• Press and hold the
Alt key (Windows) and use the mouse to draw a rectangle in
the live image.* The selected image section is shown in the main window.
• Hold down the Command key and press the keys
and
to zoom in or out of
the visible image section. The key combination
Ctrl-# displays the entire image
again.
• If a joystick is installed on your computer, you can also use it to zoom in and out of
the image.
3.4.2 Panning And Tilting An Image Section
You can choose between the following options for panning and tilting:
• Use the mouse to drag the zoomed image area in the desired direction.
• Press the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the image section as desired.
• Move the joystick left, right, up or down to pan and tilt the image section as desired.
You can use PTZ commands to change the displayed image section however you like. The
Home View feature lets you jump back quickly to a previously specified or chosen image
section. To do this, save the PTZ view that you want and activate it as needed by clicking
on the Home View button. To save a home view, click on the Home View button and hold
down the key until the message “Home view stored“ appears.
3.4.3 Storing And Loading PTZ Views
In addition to specifying a PTZ view as a home view, you can store several PTZ views with
the desired pan, tilt and zoom settings and load them as needed.
Proceed as outlined in the following:
•
Click on the PTZ Views button. The position buttons are activated in the dynamic toolbar.
