EXCALIBUR
Excalibur Icon Controls
Select an icon from the map display to activate the function
defined for that icon by the Excalibur Icon Setup program. In
many cases, when the icon is selected a dialog box is also
displayed for operator control actions defined for that icon.
Depending on the action or type of icon, the icon border
changes color when activated.
Camera Icons
Camera icons include the fixed camera, pan/tilt camera, dome,
and "bullseye" preset target icons. When a camera icon is
selected, the camera is called to the monitor assigned by the
icon setup program (or to the Alternate Monitor if selected,
page 2-9), and the icon changes color to light blue.
A dialog box is also displayed for this camera, as illustrated
below, with the appropriate pan/tilt, lens, and aux controls that
were selected in the icon setup program. If the camera has a
preset shot assigned to it, the camera will pan, tilt, and zoom to
that preset shot automatically. The operator may now control
that camera by the dialog box controls.
Camera icons that were setup with the "Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Focus"
option selected, provide pan/tilt arrow buttons and lens Zoom
and Focus buttons in their dialog boxes. To control the camera
pan/tilt drive, press the appropriate arrow button and release it
when the camera is at the desired view. To control the lens
zoom or focus, press the respective button and hold until the
lens is at the desired view.
Iris Open and Close buttons are provided in the dialog box if
the "Iris Control" option was selected in the camera icon setup.
To control the lens iris, press the respective button and hold
until the lens view is as desired.
If any "AUX" options were selected in the camera icon setup,
the dialog box includes the appropriate Aux On/Off buttons to
control auxiliary relay functions. Any names defined for Aux
1 or Aux 2 at icon setup are shown instead of the Aux numbers
in the dialog box (e.g., "Lights" and "Wiper").
"Auto Pan" and "Random Pan" buttons (not illustrated) are
provided in place of Aux 1 and Aux 2 if this option was
selected in the camera icon setup. These buttons activate auto
and random pan functions in the pan/tilt unit. To start auto or
random pan, press the respective button. To stop the panning
action, press the LEFT or RIGHT arrow pan buttons.
Auxiliary relays may be assigned to other icons, such as door
or gate icons. If these icons are used to control site auxiliaries,
the Aux buttons do not appear in the camera dialog box, and
the auxiliary is controlled by the assigned gate or door icon.
If the camera icon is set up with no pan/tilt, lens, or auxiliary
actions, there are no camera controls in the dialog box, as
illustrated below. The camera is called to the defined monitor
and this dialog box displayed.
To exit and resume a tour sequence when finished viewing a
camera, press the "Run" button in the dialog box (for any of
the camera types). If an alarm is in the queue, pressing the
"Run" button does not resume the tour, but removes the dialog
box and hold the selected camera on its monitor.
To exit the dialog box, but hold that camera on the monitor,
press the "Hold" button, or select another icon. The dialog box
clears, but the camera is held on the monitor it was called to.
The icon of a camera on hold stays light blue.
