For specific information about the features supported, see the operator's manual for your controller.

• DirectSet menu commands for specific dome functions

In addition, the dome may be used with the Manchester, RS-422 simplex or SensorNet protocols.

CAUTION: The pendant mount option is for indoor use only. Do not install the SpeedDome Optima LT dome outdoors.

Although SpeedDome Optima LT does not provide on-screen programming via the dome firmware, the connected controller may be used to configure many settings. These settings include:

• Programming presets and patterns

• Vertical phase adjustment (V-phase)

The following table provides additional information about the supported controller functions with the protocol used. The actual features supported may differ for your controller.

Controlling the Zoom Setting

Zoom stop settings define how the zoom function is partitioned. Depending on the current zoom level, the camera will either stop at the first zoom stop setting or continue to the maximum zoom setting. For SpeedDome Optima LT, the first zoom stop setting is 22X (maximum optical zoom). The maximum zoom is 242X (maximum digital zoom).

To switch between optical and digital zoom levels, press the Zoom In (Zoom Tele) button until the first zoom stop is reached. Release the button for at least one second and press Zoom In again to continue into the digital zoom range. Zooming stops when the maximum zoom is reached.

Refer to your controller instructions for information about the location of the zoom control buttons.

Assigning the Dome’s Home Position

The home position is a preset or pattern that automatically runs after 10 minutes of dome inactivity. Use this setting if you want a specific area to be under surveillance after an operator stops moving the dome.

For SpeedDome Optima LT, the home position is established by programming Pattern 3 with Focus Near or Focus Far as the first command. This indicates to the dome that pattern 3 should be used as the home position. Any commands that follow will be programmed as Pattern 3.

For more information about programming patterns, refer to your controller operator’s manual.

Programming Notes

• To ensure that the home position displays the

starting position you want, adjust the pan, tilt, and zoom before starting programming.

• If Pattern 3 has only a focus command and no

other movement commands, Pattern 3 will be treated as a preset. The dome automatically points to the preset location after 10 minutes of inactivity.

• If Pattern 3 includes pan, tilt, and zoom

commands following the focus command, Pattern 3 will be treated as a pattern. The dome automatically begins repeating the pattern after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Pattern Programming Summary

Commands Result

Start Pattern programming, followed by stop Pattern programming

Start Pattern 3 programming, followed by 1 focus command; stop Pattern programming.

Start Pattern programming, followed by pan, tilt, and zoom commands; stop Pattern programming

Start Pattern 3 programming, followed by 1 focus command and pan, tilt, and zoom commands; stop Pattern programming.

Start pattern programming, followed by 2 focus commands; stop Pattern programming.

Clears the pattern and restores the default Apple Peel Pattern.

DirectSet Menu Commands

The DirectSet Menu is a set of special commands on newer SpeedDome series domes. These commands provide quick access to commonly used dome features and functions with compatible controllers by entering the command number and pressing the DirectSet key on the controller.

SpeedDome Optima LT supports the following DirectSet commands:

Command Action

Clearing Patterns

Clear patterns by re-programming the pattern to include two focus commands (Focus Near or Focus Far) as the only pattern commands. This removes the previously programmed pattern and restores the default Apple Peel pattern for the selected pattern.

For more information about programming patterns, refer to your controller operator’s manual.

Note: If Pattern 3 is cleared, this removes the

home position programming. The dome will not automatically return to the specified preset or pattern after 10 minutes of dome inactivity.
