Power Up
To prevent communication and polling errors, use the following sequence to power
up your CameraMan CONTROL Center network:
1. Power on all devices except the CONTROL Center.
2. Power on the CONTROL Center Switcher.
3. Power on the Control Unit.
Do not move the joystick or any of the other controls on power up.
As soon as the Control Unit is powered on, it centers the joystick and begins polling the
network and storing data about the devices in the network. Following the sequence of
powering on all devices external to the Control Unit first, and then powering the Control Unit
last, insures a functioning network before the polling routines begin.
Startup LCD Display
Startup Display, Polling
• Indicates that the CameraMan CONTROL Center is zeroing the joystick, polling the
video network, and storing connection data.
• If there are hardware problems during the polling process, error messages indicating
the problem will display.
If necessary, adjust the LCD CONTRAST and LCD BACKLIGHT control knobs on the
rear panel of the Control Unit to obtain the best LCD clarity.
Home LCD Menus
On completion of polling, a Home Menu is displayed. This menu displays the status of the
input device (camera) selected before the last power down. If that device is still the same and
is still connected, the parameters of that device (pan, tilt etc.) are displayed with their current
values. If the device is either no longer part of the network or is not powered on, the
parameter values for pan and tilt will be 0. If the device is present but set at default settings (0
degrees pan, etc.), then the parameter values display as 0.0.
Now you are ready to begin using your CameraMan CONTROL Center by powering it up.
