Display sample:
Monitor screen
There are two modes for on-screen pan/tilt/zoom
operation using a mouse: Area zoom mode and Vector
dragging mode. A control bar is displayed on the screen.
In the Area zoom mode, clicking will pan or tilt the
camera towards the center of the image. The Area zoom
will move the camera in the direction that displays the
area selected by the operator and zooms in at the same
time. The operator can choose a part of the image to
view and zoom in by surrounding the area with a frame
by dragging the mouse.
In the Vector dragging mode, the camera pans or tilts in
the dragged direction. How long you drag the mouse
determines the speed. Releasing the button on the mouse
after dragging stops the panning or tilting of the camera.
You can also use the tool bar to pan or tilt.
The zoom operation using the mouse wheel is available
in all modes.
Control bar
The following operation buttons are available.
Using Solid PTZ function
You can operate the camera by using the Solid PTZ
function, which provides panning, tilting and zooming
by adjusting the position and zooming ratio from the
maximum image size (1280 × 1024 (SNC-VB600/
VM600/VM601), 1920 × 1080 (SNC-VB630/VM630/
VM631)), without moving the camera. There are three
modes of camera operation: Area zoom mode, Vecto r
dragging mode and PTZ Control bar. You can control
pan/tilt and zoom in either mode.
The available functions for the camera operation modes
vary according to the viewer display. The available
functions are as follows:
Notes
• Pan/Tilt limitation
The solid PTZ function controls streaming by
cropping or reducing a maximum size image.
Thus, the more the camera zooms out, the less area to
be panned or tilted, and becomes unavailable at the
WIDE setting.
• Zoom limitation
The solid PTZ function enables you to display an area
of 1/16 the maximum image size (Aspect ratio: 1:4),
when zoomed in at the TELE setting.
An image cannot be enlarged beyond this.
And the whole area shot in the maximum image size
will be displayed if the camera is zoomed out at the
WIDE setting.
The solid PTZ function’s zoom is performed digitally;
therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be
observed at the TELE setting.
• The Solid PTZ function is not available with Plug-in
free viewer.
