Control bar

The following operation buttons are available.

Using Solid PTZ function

You can operate the camera by using the Solid PTZ

function, which provides panning, tilting and zooming

by adjusting the position and zooming ratio from the

maximum image size (1280 × 1024*, 1920 × 1080**),

without moving the camera. There are three modes of

camera operation: Area zoom mode, Vector dragging

mode and PTZ Control bar. You can control pan/tilt

and zoom in either mode.

The available functions for the camera operation modes

vary according to the live viewer display. The available

functions are as follows.

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 end.

• 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 end. 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 end.

The solid PTZ function’s zoom is performed digitally;

therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be

observed at the TELE end.

• The Plug-in free viewer display method will be

selected automatically.

Controlling via the control panel

(Operation common to Area zoom

mode and Vector dragging mode)

You can operate the camera direction and zoom 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

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.

Switching Transmission

Mode

You can change the transmission mode for video/audio

data.

This function can be used when the video codec mode is

set to H.264 and the ActiveX viewer in the live viewer

is used.

Note

The function may not operate correctly if you use

personal firewall software or antivirus software on your

computer. In that case, disable the software or select the

TCP mode.

Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the

Connection drop-down list in the Other panel.

TCP: This is normally selected.

When TCP is selected, HTTP communication is

adopted for video/audio communications. HTTP is

the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In

an environment capable of reading Web pages, you

can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the

TCP port.

Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Real-

time Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio

communications. Since RTP is the protocol for

running video/audio data, the video/audio playback

is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If

a firewall is installed between the camera and the

computer, or depending on the network

environment, video/audio may not play back

properly when Unicast is selected. In this case,

select TCP.

Multicast: This protocol is selectable when

Multicast streaming in the Streaming tab of the

Video / Audio menu or Video menu is set to

Enable. When Multicast is selected as the

transmission port, RTP (Real-time Transport

Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are

adopted for video/audio transmission. By selecting

it, the network transmission load of the camera can

be reduced. If a router that does not correspond to a

multicast or firewall is installed between the camera

and the computer, video/audio may not play back

properly. In this case, select TCP or Unicast.
