Special Button Functions

You can use combinations of buttons to perform a few additional less common
functions.
JCU Reset
Occasionally it may be necessary to reset the JCU. Simultaneously pressing and
holding the MENU and USER buttons causes the JCU to reset. Unplugging and
plugging the Ethernet cable will also cause the JCU to lose power temporarily and
reset. When it resets, it will reacquire a network IP address and display
connection progress messages on the display.
Camera Reset
Severe vibrations or shock may cause the camera gimbal assembly to rotate or tilt
and cause the pan position indicator to be inaccurate. To reset the camera and
cause the gimbal assembly to go through its initial pan/tilt cycle, repeatedly press
the HOME button 4 times.
Note: The High Power Standby and High Motor Torque settings can be enabled
to provide the camera with a better ability to withstand shock and vibration at high
rates of speed or in high seas (see page 39 for details).
Global Standby
When the system is put into global standby, all cameras and JCUs found on the
network are placed in standby mode at the same time. This function is used to
properly shut down all cameras (return to stow position) and JCUs prior to
removing power with the system breaker.
While this option can be selected from the JCU Power Menu, you can also
achieve global standby by pressing and holding the SCENE, COLOR, and HOME
buttons in unison.
Note: The JCU does not go into a countdown mode or display the Power Menu.
The system immediately goes into global standby mode.
Display JCU IP Address
If you press the COLOR button while pushing the puck, the IP address of the JCU
displays on the JCU screen.
