Controlling Multiple Cameras
Pressing any camera button (C1, C2, C3 or C4) turns on that camera and
turns the other cameras off. When you press a camera button, all of the
camera controls on the remote– moving the camera, zooming, storing
positions, etc.–apply to that camera. To use stored positions, press the
button for the camera you want to control then follow the instructions for
Stored Positions on page 15.
Note: for multiple camera systems that include different types of X10
Cameras (XCam2 or Ninja cameras) a Transceiver is required.
Turning All Cameras Off
To turn all your cameras off, press the X10 button on your remote control
followed by the number 1 button (not C1) on the number pad, and then the
Off (tilt down) button. All cameras will now be off.
Removing or Restoring the Onscreen Label
After changing the code for the camera, as described on the previous page,
the House and Unit Code is shown at the bottom of the TV screen. If you
do not want the House and Unit Code displayed on the screen, set the mode
switch to Program, then press the camera button (C1, C2, C3, or C4) once
to remove it. Press again to restore it. Set the mode switch back to
Transmit Enable or Transmit Disable for normal operation.
To remove or restore the onscreen label (while NOT in Program mode)
press Setup (until the green light stays on) then press Sweep (0) then Setup.
