Running Patterns

I M P O R T A N T
The SpeedDome LT supports a feature called "Auto Pan" that allows you to
program a smooth side-to-side camera movement for an area. When
programmed, this feature is accessed using Pattern 1 for the dome. Please
refer to the section in Chapter 4 titled "SpeedDome LT Auto Pan
Programming," for additional information about this feature.
A Pattern is a sequential series of pan, tilt, zoom, and focus movements from
a single camera. You "teach" the camera a combination of these movements.
Then when you run the Pattern, the camera automatically repeats the
movements you taught it.
You can define your own Patterns to support your specific needs. Refer to
Chapter 4, "Defining Automatic System Functions," for procedures on
defining Patterns.
When you run a Pattern, you can specify to run the Pattern once, or you can
specify to run the Pattern repeatedly until you stop it manually. Both
methods are described here.
If a list has been compiled for your facility, you can refer to the List of
Patterns in Appendix A to determine which Patterns are available for which
domes.
The following procedure describes how to run a Pattern. Most programmable
domes support up to three Patterns defined for it. The SpeedDome LT
supports programming the Auto Pan feature for Pattern 1; it does not support
programming any additional patterns.
1. Use the number buttons to enter the number of the camera whose Pattern
you want to run, for example, camera 8. Then press the Camera button.
