3 Common AutoDome User Commands (unlocked)
This chapter details the commonly used Bosch keyboard setup commands. See
Section 6 Keyboard Commands by Number, Page 37, for a complete list of commands.
3.1 Setting AutoPan Mode
AutoPan mode pans the AutoDome camera 360º or pans between user defined limits (when
programmed). The AutoDome camera continues to pan until stopped by moving the joystick.
To pan 360º:
1. Press ON-1-ENTER.
2. Move the joystick to stop the pan.
To set left and right pan limits:
1. Move the camera to the starting position and press SET-101-ENTER to set the left limit.
2. Move the camera to the end position and press SET-102-ENTER to set the right limit.
To start AutoPan between limits:
1. Press ON-2-ENTER.
2. Move the joystick to stop the pan.
3.2 Setting Preset Shots
Preset shots are saved camera positions. Shots are saved as scenes, therefore, the terms
SHOT and SCENE are used interchangeably.
To set a Shot:
1. Move the camera to the position you want to save.
2. Press SHOT-#-ENTER where # can be a number from 1 to 99 that identifies the camera
position of the scene. (shots 1-64 for a 200 Series AutoDome.)
To view a Shot:
Press SHOT-#-ENTER where # is the number of the scene position you want to view.
To store or clear a Shot:
1. Press SET-100-ENTER to access the Store/Clear Scene Menu.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
3.3 Configuring Preposition Tours
A Preposition Tour automatically moves the camera through a series of preset or saved shots.
The 200 Series has one (1) standard preset tour available, while the 300 and the 500i Series
have two (2) standard preset tours and two (2) customized preset tours. Tour 1 is a standard
tour that moves the camera through a series of shots in the sequence they were set. Tour 2 is
a custom tour that allows you to change the sequence of shots in the tour by inserting and
deleting scenes.
To start Preposition Tour 1: (200, 300, and 500i Series)
1. Set a series of preset shots in the order that you want the AutoDome to cycle through.
2. Press ON-8-ENTER to start the tour. The tour then cycles through the series of shots until
it is stopped.
To stop a Preposition Tour:
Press OFF-8-ENTER or move the joystick to stop either type of tour.
