Return To Auto After Calling A Preset - American Dynamics SpeedDome Ultra 8 Operator's Manual

Freeze Frame Performance Notes
The Freeze Frame feature allows the current image to be maintained on-screen when switching
to a preset or pattern. If presets or patterns are included as part of a sequence or tour, the total
movement and lens adjustment time should be included as part of the dwell time to ensure that
the scene will be displayed before moving to the next scene.
For example, if it takes 2 seconds for the dome to adjust from displaying Preset 1 to Preset 2,
the 2 second adjustment time should be factored into the sequence/tour dwell time. If the dwell
time is set for 10 seconds, only 8 seconds of live video from the Preset 2 will be seen before
the next event in the sequence is displayed.
The following formula may be useful when calculating actual viewing time for events in a
sequence or tour:

Return to Auto After Calling a Preset

When calling a Preset, the SpeedDome Ultra camera adopts the IR Mode and EIS setting
uniquely created for that Preset. When an operator moves the dome from its Preset position,
the dome can return to global IR Mode and EIS settings only if programmed to do so through
the Return to Auto screen.
Follow the steps below to program Return to Auto:
1. Access the Dome Configuration Menu by pressing Iris Open, Focus Far, and Zoom
Out on your controller.

presets or patterns without allowing the dome to adjust to the final position for
the preset or pattern.
