All of the controls and features just mentioned are located in the PTZ tab, located at
left in the lower third of the Live Desktop (Figure 210).

12.1.1 THE CAMERA BIN

FIGURE 211

The Camera Bin (Figure 211), located across the bottom of the PTZ tab contains
icons for each camera. A camera currently being controlled is denoted by a blue
outline. The icons update to show the thumbnail for the preset icon selected above.

Hint: Cameras whose PTZ switches are disabled in their respective Input Configuration
panels (Section 8.2.9)
show dimmed icons in the Camera Bin, but may still be selected.

Enabling the Follow Preview switch at left in the Camera Bin header will
automatically select camera icons for you as these are chosen on the main
Switcher’s Preview row.

12.1.2 PTZ PRESETS

The large Preset Bin (above the Camera Bin) shows eight thumbnail icons for the
currently selected PTZ camera. Click a preset to select it, and the camera
automatically begins moving to the new position.

Hint: The number of the current Preset icon is shown in an overlay at upper left. When
the actual camera position at the moment

does not correspond to a preset, an “M” is

shown over the most recent selection, rather than a number.

S

PEED

The Speed control in the PTZ tab titlebar governs the
rate of change when a new preset is selected.
