While you will likely use the control surface joystick for most purposes during
production (see Section 12.1.4, the canvas in the PTZ Preset Editor panel also provides
'trackball-like' control over pan and tilt for connected cameras using the mouse.
Simply drag horizontally or vertically on the canvas to pan or tilt. The mouse-wheel
provides zoom control.
Hint: If no camera is connected, a virtual display updates to simulate rotation and zoom as
you navigate, but you may well prefer to connect a camera and assign it to Preview,
checking the output the camera on a larger monitor while making adjustments.

Some further camera settings are
grouped together just to the right
of the Preset Editor's Canvas. The
White Balance menu offers three
options – Auto, Indoor and
Outdoor. (This is a global setting,
and affects all presets for the
selected camera.)
By contrast, the Focus setting, and
the state of its Auto switch are
stored individually in each preset.

This is also true for the Iris setting, and its Auto switch.

12.1.4 PTZ AND THE CONTROL SURFACE

Pan, tilt, zoom control, and several settings for connected robotic cameras are also
directly supported on several NewTek control surfaces. See Chapter 22, Control
Surfaces for details.
