1

Getting Started

 

Install and wire the AutoDome according to the Bosch AutoDome Modular Camera System

 

Installation Manual. A typical system includes a keyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and appro-

 

priate wiring connections. Please refer to the individual product manuals for complete instal-

 

lation and setup instructions for each of the system components.

1.1

Powering On

 

When you turn the AutoDome power on there is a ten (10) second pause before the dome

 

starts its homing phase. During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and tilts up

 

and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire homing phase lasts approximately 40 sec-

 

onds and ends with a splash screen.

1.2

Establishing AutoDome Control

 

The most common ways to interface with the AutoDome are:

Using a keyboard and on-screen display (OSD) menus. This method is the most common and is covered in this manual.

Using the AutoDome Configuration Tool software running on a PC with Bilinx or the RS232/485 communication protocol. Refer to the CTFID User Guide for instructions.

Using a PC-based graphical user interface (GUI) such as the Bosch DiBos 8 software. Refer to the DiBos 8 User Guide for instructions.

Using the Bosch IP Web interface included with the IP Communications Module.

1.2.2Keyboard 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

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.

 

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 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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

i

NOTICE! If a keyboard is set to a camera number that already has an address, that camera also

 

responds to this command.

 

 

 

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.

To set an address to a camera without an address:

1.Select the camera number you want to FastAddress. The system displays the camera number on the keyboard and the image on the corresponding monitor.

2.Press #-ENTER (where # is the camera number without an address).

3.Press ON-999-ENTER to invoke an on-screen display of cameras on the system without an address.
