Things to keep in mind when programming Patterns ...
You can program up to three Patterns per programmable dome. The length
and complexity of a Pattern are restricted by two variables:
· Number of camera commands
· Time
Each time you move the camera in any direction, zoom in or out, focus near
or far, or adjust the iris, you have issued camera commands to the camera.
The three Patterns for a dome can collectively consist of up to 98 of these
camera commands. As you program a Pattern, the number of camera
commands remaining for that camera is displayed on the T
OUCH TRACKER
LCD.
There is also a time constraint on Patterns. A single Pattern cannot have a
duration of longer than approximately 6 minutes and 50 seconds. Even if a
Pattern has only two camera commands in it, the Pattern will stop recording
once its duration time has elapsed.
Keep in mind that you are programming these Patterns in real-time, which
means that the camera is remembering every programming command you
make at the actual speed you issue the commands. If during programming,
you let the camera sit motionless for 20 seconds, that is exactly what the
camera will do each time that Pattern is called up in the future. The 20
seconds of “non-motion time” is part of the Pattern.
To define a Pattern...
1. Press
Patrn on the keypad to display the list of existing Patterns.
The Patterns screen is displayed with the list of those Patterns that
have already been defined (if there are any). Figure 4-7 illustrates a
sample Patterns screen.
