appear darker or lighter. To brighten the picture, press the iris OPEN key. To darken the picture,
press the iris CLOSE key.
Controlling Camera Flip
To "flip" the camera under keyboard control 180 from its current position (for uninterrupted
surveillance of subjects who pass directly beneath the camera, press the button on the top of the
joystick knob. The flip feature is active with the AD168 system. Note: on suitably equipped
domes with the auto-flip function turned on, the dome can be flipped by holding the AD2079's
joystick in the down position.
Auto Focus / Auto Iris (SpeedDome Ultra Only)
SpeedDome Ultra dome units are designed with Auto Focus and Auto Iris capability. When the
AD2079 keyboard is used to control SpeedDome Ultra units, focus and iris control can be
performed manually by using the NEAR and FAR keys for focus control, and the OPEN and
CLOSE keys for iris control. After performing manual control, the user can return to auto
control mode by pressing the OPEN and CLOSE keys simultaneously.
Calling Presets (Shots)
A preset is a memorized location or scene that a pan/tilt camera can display on operator demand.
Presets are also referred to as shots or targets. Depending on the matrix switching system used,
the operator will have the option of calling a certain number of presets, each with its own unique
identification number. Presets are positioned and stored in memory in the Program mode, which
will be discussed in the next chapter. Once they are programmed, presets are called to view in the
Operate mode.
To call a preset:
1. After calling a pan/tilt camera to view (see page 3-2), enter the preset identification number
on the numeric keypad (the preset number appears in the ENTER display).
2. Press the SHOT key to call the preset of the camera under control (the ENTER display
clears). The selected video now appears on the monitor screen with appropriate pan, tilt,
zoom, and focus adjustments.
Note: when the AD2079 is used with a switching system using AD SpeedDomes in conjunction
with an AD2083-02A code translator, the SHOT key can be used for a range of commands
beyond the definition and calling of presets. A complete listing of these dome commands is found
in Appendix E of this manual.
Running System Tours
A tour is a dynamic sequence of camera views, each of which appears on a selected monitor
screen for a specified dwell time, and each of which can have a pre-programmed preset status,
auxiliary status, and connect next designation. System tours are also referred to as universal
tours. System tours are programmed in the Menu mode, and are characterized by the particular
switching system they are designed for.
Additionally, there are monitor or "scratch-pad" tours, which are temporary tours programmed
for the operator's currently selected monitor. Scratch-pad tours are set up in the Program mode,
and will be discussed in the next chapter.
To run a system (universal) tour:
1. Enter the appropriate monitor identification number on the numeric keypad (the monitor
number will appear on the ENTER display).
2. Press the MONITOR key to gain control of the monitor. The monitor number will appear in
the MONITOR display. The ENTER display will clear.
