Configuring Multi-Step Presets
Notes Regarding Multistep:
 Multi-Step is available only on the first 12 preset trigger inputs on AutoPresenter and allows a
camera preset to be programmed into the system to display two trigger devices.
 If there are multiple cameras in a room and the triggers that activate Multi Step are linked to
different cameras, either camera, or a different camera can be programmed as the Multi Step
camera preset position to allow the camera with the best angle of view of both positions to be
configured for the multi-step preset camera position.
 Two MicVIEW triggers cannot trigger a multi-step trigger, however, a single MicVIEW trigger and
another trigger device (i.e. StepVIEW mat, AutoVIEW IR, etc.) can perform a Multi-Step preset.
 Multi-Step with a trigger outside the first 12: with one preset within the first 12, and one preset
that is 13 or higher, Last Step will be initiated.
1. Press the Program button on the front of AutoPresenter
2. Press the Multi Step button above Program
3. Using the AutoPresenter IR remote, pan, tilt and zoom a camera to the desired location that will
capture both trigger positions for the multi-step trigger. Example: If there is a StepVIEW mat
(connected to Trigger position 1 on the back of AutoPresenter) at a whiteboard, and an
AutoVIEW IR sensor (connected to Trigger position 12) above a podium, move a camera to
capture both the whiteboard and podium. Any camera in the room may be used for the multi-step
preset position, not necessarily the camera(s) that are used for the First/Last Step preset. Use
the best camera that will provide the ideal camera angle for the multi-step preset.
4. Using the IR remote, enter the two preset trigger devices. From the example above – preset
triggers 1 and 12, enter 001 and 012 using the remote control. The LCD screen on the front of
AutoPresenter will display “Preset XX Stored”, with XX being the designated stored preset. The
other option for storing the preset camera position would be to manually trigger the device
s that
will move the camera to that position. See note below about numbering scheme for trigger
presets.
5. Repeat the Steps 2 – 4 for each additional preset trigger device connected to the system.
NOTE: Please note that each preset trigger is three digits. Therefore, trigger 1 should be programmed
and recalled on the IR remote by pressing 001. Trigger 23 would be recalled by pressing 023 on the
remote.
Wipe, Dissolve or Cut
AutoPresenter allows camera
transitions to be either a cut, fade
or wipe when switching between
video inputs.
Select the type of effect (wipe, cut or mix) that AutoPresenter will use to transition from one input to the
other. Pressing a different input, other than the current input that is selected (current input is indicated by
the button being lit) will allow AutoPresenter to transition from the current signal to the one selected. The
transition between inputs will be determined by which transition
is selected (Mix, Wipe or Cut), and the
speed of the transition will be dictated by the Transition Time knob on the front of the switcher.
Changing Transitions:
To change the type of transition -- Wipe, Cut or Mix -- select that effect above the Input buttons. Wipes:
Press and hold the Wipe button and turn the Transition Speed knob to change wipe effects, which will be
displayed at the bottom of the LCD screen.
Changing Transition Speed:
Both the Mix and Wipe effects can be adjusted from .01 to 4 seconds, by adjusting the Transition Speed
knob, which is located next to the Mix button.
