Power & Preset Disable
If AutoPresenter is configured to
be used as an automated,
presenter controlled system,
StepVIEW mats, AutoVIEW IR
sensors and other devices, the
mats, sensors and third-party
trigger devices can be placed at
locations, such as podiums,
white boards, etc.
Pressing the Preset Disable button on the front panel or via the IR remote control will disable all trigger
devices (StepVIEW mats, AutoVIEW IR sensors, etc.).
Power Switch:
 When the Power switch is pressed and held for three seconds, all of the attached cameras will be
placed in standby.
 When the system is in stand-by, pressing the Power switch will activate and select default camera
and preset information as defined in the menu. The AutoPresenter will scan the inputs for
camera type and video signal type and configure the system based on how it was programmed.
This can take up to one minute and is normal operation.
 Notes: When the camera control ports are changed or reconfigured, the “Rescan Cameras”
option in the menu must be selected and started to rescan the cameras and reload the proper
control codes
. If only the video inputs are changed, then activate the Rescan Video function in
the Main Menu to reset the video input priorities.
 Notes: If new triggers are added or not connected at initial power up you must perform an INIT
TRIGGERS in the system menu.
Using AutoPresenter with Precision Camera Controller
AutoPresenter can also be used as a stand-alone switcher (with or without triggers) connected to
Precision Camera Controller as a low-cost, 6x1 seamless video switcher for installations that require an
operator for some events, but automated operation for other events. Figure 4 shows 6 inputs (four
cameras, a computer and a DVD player) and two outputs (a computer monitor and an LCD projector).
Simply connect the Link Out port of Precision Camera Controller to the Link In port on AutoPresenter to
establish communication between the two products (see the diagram below).
Configuring PTZ Presets for Precision Camera Controller:
NOTE: Presets for Precision Camera Controller are stored in memory beyond the presets for the trigger
devices connected to AutoPresenter, and have to be programmed separately. All RS-232 Control cables
for PTZ cameras should be connected to AutoPresenter. When using Precision Camera Controller, the
PRESET DISABLE button should be turned on. Otherwise, trigger devices connected to AutoPresenter
will initiate PTZ cameras and video switching.
