Lock or Unlock Control of a Monitor

Press MONITOR, then LOCK and ON to lock a monitor, or OFF to unlock the monitor. If the
monitor to be unlocked is not the one currently being controlled by the keyboard, enter the
monitor number (but do not press ENTER) after you press the MONITOR key. Then press the
LOCK and ON key. If the Status option is enabled, the section of the on-screen overlay
between the camera number and the time now shows "ML", indicating the monitor is locked.
This prevents other operators (unless they have a higher priority) from changing the video on
the monitor being used. Remember to unlock the monitor when finished so that all operators
can access it.
Note: If an operator with a higher priority accesses a locked monitor and switches to a
different camera, the lock will automatically be removed.

Recording a Camera Pre-position Scene

Select a camera with pan/tilt/zoom control (with pre-position options), as described above.
Using the joystick and lens controls, adjust the camera to view the scene to be stored. Press
SET, then select the scene number using the numeric keypad, and press ENTER. The camera
position is now stored, for later recall.
If an AutoDome® camera is being used, certain pre-position commands are also used to
activate operational features and functions. Refer to the AutoDome operation manual for
complete information. If a conventional Allegiant Receiver/Driver is being controlled, the pan/
tilt/zoom lens must have the necessary options for pre-position operation.
Certain AutoDome models and Allegiant Receiver/Driver series have the capability to disable a
previously stored pre-position or remove one from a pre-position tour by pressing SET, the
digit 9, followed by the 2-digit pre-position number. Information supplied with the device will
identify whether this feature is available.
7.5.6

Recalling a Camera Pre-position Scene

Select the camera to be activated and press SHOT, then enter a previously stored camera
scene number via the numeric keypad and press ENTER. The camera automatically returns to
the previously stored position.
If a second pre-position is called prior to the completion of the first, the camera moves
directly to the second shot. If using an AutoDome camera, certain pre-position commands
may be used to activate operational features and functions. Refer to the AutoDome operation
manual for more information.

Activate/Deactivate Auxiliary Function

To turn on an auxiliary function of a remote camera device, press ON, enter the number of the
auxiliary to be activated, and press ENTER. Holding down the ENTER key causes the auxiliary
function to be sent repeatedly. This capability is useful when the auxiliary is activating a
housing window washer function, or a temporary light source.
To turn off an auxiliary function of a remote camera device, press OFF, enter the number of
the auxiliary to be deactivated, then press ENTER.
With AutoDome cameras, auxiliary commands are used to activate/deactivate certain
operational features and functions. Refer to the manual supplied with the AutoDome camera
for complete information on supported features.
In the Allegiant Receiver/Driver series, the first 4 auxiliaries correspond to relay outputs.
Option switches in the receiver/driver can configure these to operate as either 'latching' or
'momentary' functions. If configured for the 'latching' type, the auxiliary will stay on once
activated, until turned off. If configured as 'momentary', the auxiliary remains on only as long
as ENTER is held down. Auxiliary outputs 2 through 4 can also be configured as contact
closures, 24 VAC, or as line voltage. Auxiliary number 5 controls the DITHER function (see
