PTZ control bar	×	a		a	×

Notes

•Pan/Tilt limitation

The solid PTZ function controls streaming by cropping or reducing a maximum size image.

Thus, the more the camera zooms out, the less area to be panned or tilted, and becomes unavailable at the WIDE setting.

•Zoom limitation

The solid PTZ function enables you to display an area of 1/16 the maximum image size (Aspect ratio: 1:4), when zoomed in at the TELE setting.

An image cannot be enlarged beyond this.

And the whole area shot in the maximum image size will be displayed if the camera is zoomed out at the WIDE setting.

The solid PTZ function’s zoom is performed digitally; therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be observed at the TELE setting.

Controlling via the control panel (Operation common to Area zoom mode and Vector dragging mode)

You can operate the camera direction, zoom, and focus by using the control panel for the monitor image currently displayed.

Pan/Tilt control

Click the arrow button in the direction in which you want to move the camera. Keep it pressed to move the camera continuously.

To return to the home position, click .

Zoom control

Click to zoom out, and click to zoom in. Zooming continues while the button remains pressed.

Note

The four edges of the image may be dark depending on the zoom position. This is a phenomenon related to the structure of the camera, and does not cause a problem.

Panning and tilting by clicking the monitor image (Area zoom mode only)

Click on the monitor image, and the camera moves so that the clicked portion is positioned at the center of the display.

Panning, tilting and zooming by specifying the area (Area zoom mode only)

Click and hold the left button of the mouse on the monitor image, and drag the mouse diagonally to draw a red frame around the portion you want to enlarge. The camera moves so that framed portion is positioned at the center of the display and is zoomed in.

Note

When the specified area is zoomed in, the center may be shifted or some portion of the image may appear out of the monitor image section. In this case, click the point you want to move to the center or click the arrow button on the camera control panel.

24 Configuration of Main Viewer

Panning and tilting by dragging the screen (Vector dragging mode only)

When you click on the starting point on the image and drag to the end point, the camera pans/tilts in the direction of the arrow from the starting point to the end point. The speed of operation is determined by the length of arrow. Releasing the button on the mouse stops the panning/tilting of the camera.

Moving the camera to a preset position (Common operations in Area zoom and Vector dragging modes)

Select a preset position name from the Preset position panel. The camera will move to the preset position that you have stored in memory using the Preset position menu (page 70).

Multiple preset positions can be organized by group according to setting.
