SENSORRAIL IIIe
USER GUIDE
IIIe
The SensorRail IIIe system is compatible with all
current AD matrix switchers and controllers.
Communication between the control device and the
rail system is done using an AD RS-422 protocol.
Note: The matrix switcher perceives the rail as a
dome camera. Therefore, all dome features are
available except privacy zone, competitor's dome
protocols, home position, direction indicators,
freeze frame, and iris features.
Controlling the Rail System
The following devices can be used to control the
dome camera as it moves along the rail:
• AD Keyboard (AD2079 / AD2088 / AD2089)
• ADTTE / ADTT16E Touch Tracker
• VM96 Matrix Switcher
• MegaPower LT
• AD200/300/1100.
Depending on the camera trolley configuration, you
move the trolley along the rail by using the Iris
OPEN/CLOSE keys (or Focus NEAR/FAR keys) on
the Touch Tracker or AD keyboard.
• Press iris OPEN (or focus NEAR) to move the
trolley forward.
• Press iris CLOSE (or focus FAR) to move the
trolley backward.
Note: Dome Auto-Focus mode is available by
simultaneously pressing the iris OPEN and CLOSE
keys.
SpeedDome Ultra VIII: If this dome is
installed in the trolley, the following
features are not recommended:
• Privacy Zones
• Direction Indicators.
• Freeze frame
• Home position
Even if these features are operational,
their function depends on the dome
remaining stationary.
