Configuring The Addresses And Presets For your Personal Locator System to work as expected, it is important to understand exactly how the Personal Locator Keypads function, so that they may be properly configured and operated.
Start-Up And Set-Up Once all necessary connections and configurations are made, you are ready to turn on the system, and set up your videoconference Note: It is assumed that the CameraMan camera has been installed and connected using the General Pan/Tilt Installations and Operations Manual. Start-Up 1. Switch the power button on the back of the CameraMan Camera to the ON position. The CameraMan Camera should automatically enter its position calibration mode and then stop at the zero degree point. 2.
Using The Keypad Controls Now that you’ve configured the Keypads and set up the conference room, you can begin using your Chairperson, and Personal Locator Keypads. Using the Back Controls Zoom Perspective The ZOOM buttons control the camera lens’ functions to zoom in or out for tighter or wider views. • Press and hold the ZOOM IN button for the camera to zoom in for a tighter view. • Press and hold the ZOOM OUT button for the camera to zoom out for a wider view.

Press MY TURN once for single-person camera shot Tip: The MY TURN button will store a PAN/TILT position, an IMAGE setting and a ZOOM perspective into the camera’s memory.
Using The Keypad Controls To set up your videoconference, you will need to adjust the camera-view associated with each keypad’s MY TURN and GROUP buttons. After the initial setup, modification of these features is not required for system operation, but they are available if needed. Programming/Changing the MY TURN and GROUP Buttons The MY TURN & GROUP buttons will store and recall a PAN/TILT position and a ZOOM perspective with an IMAGE setting from the camera’s memory.
Appendix A: Specifications Maximum pan/tilt travel Once the CameraMan Camera is installed, maximum PAN/TILT settings can be configured to suit the application. The CameraMan Camera has a pan range of 359°, but comes programmed with factory default settings, as illustrated, of ± 90° of PAN and ± 25° of TILT. If desired, use the following procedure to change the maximum position settings: Using the Chairperson Locator Keypad: 1. Press and hold the UNLOCK button. 2.
Appendix B: Re-Orienting the Pan Arrows Understanding The Panning Motion The examples on the right explain when you might want to re-configure the pan arrows on your Camera Control Keypad. The default setting, shown in Example 1, is designed to operate as if you are facing the CameraMan camera. This is best for videoconferences where you are an on-screen participant. There may be applications, however, in which you do not need to face the camera (example 2), so the default setting will not work.
