JCU Introduction

The JCU is the primary method of controlling the
M-Series camera: move the camera (pan or tilt),
zoom the camera, switch between IR and DLTV
camera, adjust image settings, and access the
OSD menus.
This chapter describes using the JCU buttons to
operate the camera. The various configuration
settings and how they affect operation are all
discussed in
24. When specific settings affect a particular button,
you can refer to that chapter for additional details.

JCU Buttons

Buttons on the JCU perform multiple functions. In most cases, each performs one function when
pressed briefly (short press) and a different function when pressed and held (long press).
Table 2.1 on page 17 summarizes the actions for each button.

Power/DIM Button

Short Press
A short press of the Power/DIM button cycles through the four levels of brightness
for the JCU display. The JCU controls are backlit to make them easier to see at
night. Use this button to adjust the brightness of the JCU backlighting for your comfort.
Long Press
Pressing and holding the Power/DIM button is used to "wake up" the camera, causing it to go from
standby mode to powered on. It is also used to put the camera back in standby mode as well as
complete other system functions such as calibrating the JCU and associating the JCU with a
camera. These functions are described in more detail on page 19.

MENU Button

Use the MENU button to turn the OSD menus on or off. In most cases, the factory
default configuration does not need changing. However, some options may be
tailored to personal preferences.
When the OSD menu is displayed, use the puck to navigate through the menus and
select menu entries. Refer to
