Section 3: Telemetry Functions; Introduction; Systems With More Than One Keyboard; Controlling Cameras - Honeywell HMAX082 Owner's Operation Manual

3.0 INTRODUCTION

The MaxCom range of keyboards and switchers can control any Honeywell telemetry
receiver. The features that can be used depend on the features that are available on the
RapidDome or telemetry receiver.
Under normal operation, there is no audible beep when pressing the telemetry function
buttons.
When the joystick is used or when telemetry buttons are pressed, commands are sent to
the camera that is selected on the monitor under control.

3.1 SYSTEMS WITH MORE THAN ONE KEYBOARD

If two or more keyboards are being used on a telemetry system, any commands that are
sent to the camera that cause the telemetry LEDs to change on the keyboards will cause
the same telemetry LEDs to change on any other keyboard that has the same camera
selected.

3.1.1 Controlling cameras

Two operators cannot control the same camera at the same time. There are several
situations in which this can occur.
1. If a second operator tries to control a camera already being controlled by another
operator, the message, "CAMERA IN USE", is displayed on the monitor being
controlled by the second operator and a long error beep is produced at the
keyboard. The message is displayed on the screen until the first operator stops
controlling the camera and does not send any telemetry commands to the camera
for 5 seconds. Once the message is removed, the second operator can control the
camera.
2. If one operator is programming a "mimic tour" in a camera and a second operator
tries to send telemetry to the camera, the message, "CAMERA IN USE", is displayed
and a long error beep is produced at the keyboard. As soon as the first operator
completes the programming, the message is removed and the second operator can
control the camera. In this case, there is no 5-second delay before handing over
control.
3. If one operator is programming a sector zone for a camera and a second operator
tries to control that camera, the "CAMERA IN USE" message is displayed on the
monitor being controlled by the second operator and a long error beep is produced
at the keyboard. The message is displayed on the screen until the first operator has
completed the programming of the sector zone. In this case, there is no 5-second
delay before handing over control.
