1.2.2 Keyboard Commands
Keyboard control commands are composed of a sequence of three (3) inputs with the
following convention: 1) a Function key + 2) a Command number key(s) + 3) the Enter key.
– Depending on the type of keyboard, the control function keys are labeled:
ON or AUX ON
OFF or AUX OFF
SET or SET SHOT
SHOT or SHOW SHOT
– Command numbers range from 1 to 999. See Chapter 6: Keyboard Commands by Number
for a complete list of keyboard commands.
–The Enter key can also be labeled with the 8 symbol.
For example, the keyboard command to make the AutoDome pan 360º continuously is:
ON-1-ENTER(press the ON key, then press the number 1 key, and then press ENTER.)
1.3 Setting the Camera Address
Once the AutoDome power is turned on and homing is complete, you must set the camera
address. You may also want to assign a password and customize some of the AutoDome
default settings.
1.3.1 FastAddress
FastAddress is an AutoDome feature that allows you to set or change a camera address using
the keyboard and on-screen menus.
There are three (3) FastAddress commands:
– ON-999-ENTER: Displays and programs all cameras without an address in the system.
– ON-998-ENTER: Displays and programs all cameras with or without an address in the
system.
– ON-997-ENTER: Displays the current address status of all cameras in the system
simultaneously.
i
NOTICE! The convention used for control key commands in this manual is ON, OFF, SET, and
SHOT. Refer to your keyboard manual for the key naming conventions.
i
NOTICE! You do not need to set a camera address if using Bilinx or Ethernet communication.
See the AutoDome Installation Manual to configure an AutoDome for Bilinx or Ethernet
operation.
i
NOTICE! If a keyboard is set to a camera number that already has an address, that camera
also responds to this command.
