AdvancedController - BUTTONS AND FUNCTIONS
==========================================
WINDOW
Tabs CONTROLLER 1 / 2 / 3 at the top: up to three controllers, each with
its own serial port, OPEN / CLOSE and everything below the tabs. The dot
next to the tab name: grey = port closed, red = port open but the
controller does not answer (no power, cable, wrong port), green =
connected. IDENTIFY: the gear led of that controller blinks fast for 3 s
so you can see which device the tab is talking to. HELP opens this file.
GENERAL
All adjustments act on the CURRENT camera (see CAMERA SELECT).
Mode buttons (BRIGHT, AGC, ZOOM, LED ON/OFF, crosshair edit, OSD menu)
enter a mode in which the arrow buttons act. One adjust mode is active at
a time; entering another mode leaves the previous one.
Virtual panel: click = press, hold 1.5 s = long press. The leds in the
window mirror the leds of the device (polled 5 times per second).
TOP ROW
LED ON/OFF (headlight) Manual lighting of the current camera. Press to
enter the mode, then UP/DOWN select the level:
off / 25 % / 75 % / 100 %. Press again to leave.
LED AUTO (headlight A) Automatic lighting of ALL channels from the
external 0-10 V input. Press again to disable.
Setting a manual level disables AUTO.
AGC (two rectangles) Gain mode: UP/DOWN = 0..20.
BRIGHT (sun) Brightness mode: UP/DOWN = 0..20.
ZOOM (magnifier) Digital zoom mode: UP/DOWN = 0..16.
MIRROR Toggle horizontal mirror.
FLIP Toggle vertical flip.
FOCUS (target) Crosshair initialisation of the current camera:
both crosshairs to the default position, all
masks off. Takes about 5 s. Press once per camera
after power-on, otherwise the crosshairs stay
invisible.
SECOND ROW
CAMERA RESET (3 sliders) All cameras to factory settings (preset 1).
Takes about 6 s; the button led blinks meanwhile.
LOAD 1 / LOAD 2 Load user preset 1 / 2 from the camera memory.
SAVE 1 / SAVE 2 Save the current camera settings to preset 1 / 2.
THIRD ROW
CROSSHAIR 1 / 2 Show / hide the crosshair on the current camera.
Long press: edit mode (button led blinks):
UP/DOWN move the horizontal line, LEFT/RIGHT the
vertical line; at a limit the arrow led blinks.
Long press again: leave edit mode. One crosshair
is edited at a time; a long press on the other
crosshair switches editing to it.
TEMPERATURE Show / hide the camera temperature on its OSD.
BOTTOM ROW
CAMERA SELECT (2 cams) Next camera: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 1. Two leds show
the selection: cam 1 = on/off, cam 2 = off/on,
cam 3 = on/on, cam 4 = off/off.
GEAR Leave all adjust modes (arrow leds go off).
The gear led blinks twice with a 2 s pause while
the device is under remote control from a PC.
CROSS PAD
UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT Act in the active mode (see above) and in the
camera OSD menu.
ENTER In the OSD menu: select.
ENTER long (1.5 s) Open the camera OSD menu: arrows navigate, ENTER
selects. Long ENTER again leaves the mode on the
panel; the camera closes its menu by its own
rules.
HOW TO
Change the lighting of channel N: press CAMERA SELECT until the leds show
camera N, press LED ON/OFF, then UP/DOWN. From the PC: "CAM N",
"LED level".
Open the camera OSD: hold ENTER for 1.5 s, then use the arrows and ENTER.
Reset all cameras: press CAMERA RESET (3 sliders) or send RESET from the PC.
Light tower: green = normal; red + beeper = a camera at 65 C or above;
fan = controller CPU at 50 C or above.
