Product overview

Legend™ is a line of advanced PTZ domes. Besides powerful cameras, Legend domes feature SilkTrak™ direct-drive positioning for smoother camera travel, a graphical programming interface (Figure 1) for easier customization of camera settings, passcodes for protection against unauthorized access, and an Ethernet connection for flashing software upgrades over a standard IP network using a standard web browser.

CAUTION: When flashing software upgrades to the dome over a standard IP network via the dome's Ethernet

connection, ensure that the network is secured from unauthorized access. Consider connecting the Ethernet cable only when you are flashing the dome, unless you have the dome connected to a secure, isolated network.

The Legend protocol is backward compatible with the Digiplex protocol. You can replace older domes in an existing Digiplex system with Legend domes. You must, however, replace the entire dome (camera and housing). The hardware is not backward compatible.

The end-user’s system administrator and/or the installer will do the programming. Be aware that the installer may have enabled passcodes for the system during installation by specifying them. There are no passcodes by default.

For additional details, refer to the data sheet and the Legend Installation Manual (1052026) for product specifications and installation instructions.

Introduction

What’s new in this release

The major changes to this release of the Legend software are:

• time scheduling added (T ime schedule page on page 57);

• image freeze on presets added (Edit page on page 44);

• Pelco D (autobaud), Pelco P, an d Tyco/AD (RS-422) (Appendix B, Compatible commands) protocols

added (Table 2 on page 4)

• streaming position reporting added when data is connected to the AUX RS-485 connections;

• alarm reporting added for the Impac (RS-485) and Tyco/AD (RS-422) protocols; and

• overall performance increased.

Note: The Pelco D autobaud protocol provides autobaud detection between 2400, 4800, and 9600 baud. Alarm

reporting is a nonprogrammable feature. Refer to the protocol’s manual for details. Streaming position reporting is disabled when the protocol switch is set to A for the Tyco/AD protocol. On-request position reporting continues to be available with the Impac (RS-485) protocol delivered through the MAIN RS-485 connections. It is not in ASCII format as is the streaming position reporting data.

If you purchased a v2.1.9 or later Legend dome, then you have the new AHC (active housing card) that is required for some of the recent software changes. If you are upgrading a Legend dome that has an earlier version of software, you may or may not have to retrofit the dome with a new AHC. It depends upon what features you want to use. The most commonly used features do not require the new AHC.

;

Table 1 lists what software upgrade changes are usable with the current AHC and which are usable if you retrofit the AHC.

Changed protocol switch assignments

With the addition of new protocols, the assignments of the rotary protocol switch have changed. Be aware that if you were using Pelco D 2400 baud protocol, which was originally assigned to switch 6, you

will need to change the DIP switch setting in the housing. It is now incorporated into the Pelco D autobaud protocol and assigned to switch 9.

Here are the new protocol switch assignments.

Introduction

Moving camera assemblies between domes

Legend domes consist of two primary operational components: the housing cards mounted up in the housing and the camera assembly (PTZ unit). So that camera assemblies can be replaced quickly without reprogramming custom settings, all memory for IP addresses and programmable operations, such as presets and tours, are stored in the housings. If you move camera assemblies that are loaded with different software versions between housings, you need to be aware of the behavioral differences that you can expect to see. Refer to Table 3.

and memory of custom settings is lost. All custom settings will revert to factory defaults.

No user intervention is required. The new camera assembly will inherit all of the settings from the previous camera assembly.

No user intervention is required. Any housing data formatted with v1.8.5 will be migrated automatically to v2.1.X during the initial boot up. These settings will then be stored in the housing memory. All custom settings are preserved.

Some user intervention may be required. Any housing data formatted with v2.1.X is ignored, but not erased. If the housing contains settings with v1.8.5, then they will be used. Otherwise, factory default settings are enabled.

BE AWARE: Storing data in this scenario may create setting conflicts and indeterminate results when a camera assembly formatted with v2.1.x is again placed into the housing. It is recommended to erase all settings if a housing is inserted with camera assemblies containing v.2.1X followed by v1.8.5 followed by v2.1.X. To erase all settings, see

Memory page on page 22.

When is logging on necessary

If passcodes were turned on (that is, specified) during installation or later, access to the programming interface will be passcode-protected and you will have to log on to the dome to program it. Otherwise, you will be taken directly to the main programming page from the keypad. The passcodes control who has access to the features of your dome. See Passcode page on page 23.

Starting from a keypad

The steps for accessing the programming interface from all GE keypads are similar. The following procedure is based on the KTD-405 keypad, which is currently GE’s most popular keypad. Exceptions to the procedure for other GE keypads are noted. You can also use the GE KTD-400 and KTD-404/304 keypads and other manufacturers’ keypads and controllers using the Pelco D (autobaud), Pelco P, Tyco/AD (RS-422), Ultrak, Impac (RS-485), and ASCII protocols. When using these other protocols, all common commands used for accessing programming, operating the joystick and iris key on the keypad, and controlling presets are supported by the Legend protocol. For an up-to-date list of compatible keypads and protocols, please contact your GE sales representative or Technical Support.

To access the programming interface from a KTD-405 keypad:

1. At the normal display , press and hold the set

( ) key on the keypad until you hear a beep and the programming code display appears on the keypad’s LCD.

2. At the ENTER PROGRAMMING CODE display, enter the programming access code by pressing the 9, 5, 1, and seq keys.

This code is the same for all GE keypads.

3. At the equipment selection display, press 3 to select CAMERA (keypad v1.2.09 or later) or CAMERA/RCVR (keypad v1.1.06 or earlier).

Joystick modes

While you are in the graphical programming interface, the joystick of your keypad operates in two modes depending upon what your current action is. While moving among the menus of the programming interface, the joystick is a simulated mouse and you enter commands using the joystick. While controlling live video, the joystick is a PTZ controller. So, whenever you are positioning titles or privacy masks, or programming live video features such as presets and ShadowTours, the joystick is a P TZ contro ller, in which case, you will use the keypad’s keys to enter command s.

Joystick as simulated mouse

When the joystick is simulating a mouse within the programming interface, it can move the cursor, move a title, or make a selection in the menus.

Moving the cursor or a title

T o move the cursor (onscreen arrow) across the menus, or to move a title across the screen during title positioning, push or pull the joystick in any direction. The farther you move the joystick, the faster the cursor will move.

Making a selection

To make a selection in the menus, place the cursor over a menu, button, checkbox, item in a list, or arrow of a drop-down box by pushing or pulling the joystick in any direction, then twist the knob on the joystick.

Figure 8. Twisting the joystick knob to make selection

You can also use the zoom+/- key on the keypad to m ake selections.

Joystick as PTZ controller

When the joystick is controlling the PTZ movements of the camera within the programming interface, use the keypad’s keys to enter the save and cancel programming commands.

Saving live video programming

T o save live video programming, such as positioned titles, privacy masks, presets, and ShadowTours, press the iris + or the set ( ) key on the keypad.

Canceling live video programming

To cancel live video programming, such as positioned titles, privacy masks, presets, and ShadowTours, press the iris - or the esc key on the keypad.

Inactivity timer

The programming interface has a 10-minute keypad inactivity timer. When being used with keypads that do not have their own inactivity timer, the programming interface will time out after 10 minutes of inactivity. When being used with keypads that do have their own inactivity timer and it is less than the 10-minute timer of the programming interface, the programming interface will time out when the keypad does. When being used with keypads that have a longer inactivity timer, the programming interface will time out after 10 minutes of inactivity . Refer to your keypad’s manual to see if it has an inactivity timer and what the duration is so that you know when you can expect the programming interface to time out.

Presets

You can set presets from the keypad or with the graphical programming interface. If you set your presets from the keypad, you may want to go into the programming interface to customize them with titles and exposure settings.

There are a total of 127 presets (1 through 127) that you can define for your dome. If you are using presets 62 and 63 for your left and right autopan limits, then you have a total of 125 presets th at you can define.

The dome also provides the ability to remap any preset or tour command coming in from a keypad to activate any of the 127 presets, 16 tours, or 32 macro actions. This enables you to manually initiate any of the expanded capabilities of the dome from keypad controllers with limited command capability. See Command Map page on page 68.

Note: Most keypads have a limited number of preset numbers they can call. If you have a GE KTD-405 keypad with firmware

v1.2.09 or later, and it is operating with Impac RS-485 protocol, then you can call up all 127 preset numbers (1 through

127) directly from the keypad. If, however, you have a GE KTD-405 keypad with an earlier version of firmware, or it is operating with Digiplex RS-422 protocol, then you can use the keypad to call up only the first 63 preset numbers (1 through 63). If you are using presets 62 and 63 for your left and right autopan limits, then you have a total of 125 or 61 preset numbers that you can call up from the keypad. To verify your keypad’s version, press and hold the mon key on the keypad, until the keypad beeps, then press the >> key.
