Moving The Ptz Camera's Position - Avaya Scopia XT Series User Manual

Moving the PTZ Camera's Position

About this task
This section details how to set the angle and zoom of a PTZ camera connected to your Avaya Scopia
XT Series.
A PTZ camera can pan to swivel horizontally, tilt to move vertically, and optically zoom to devote all the
camera's pixels to one area of the image. For example, the XT Standard Camera is a PTZ camera with
its own power supply and remote control, and uses powerful lenses to achieve superb visual quality. In
contrast, fixed cameras like webcams only offer digital PTZ, where the zoom crops the camera image,
displaying only a portion of the original, resulting in fewer pixels of the zoomed image, which effectively
lowers the resolution. Fixed cameras also offer digital pan and tilt only after zooming, where you can pan
up to the width or length of the original camera image.
Once you have set the camera's angle and zoom, the system restores the last camera position the next
time you use the camera. You can store multiple preset camera positions if needed (see Deployment
