Movement,
Picture Speed: |
This
is the maximum speed used with click-in-picture movement,
the speed used for a click-in-picture movement depends of
the distance from the center of the image, the further away
from the center the higher the speed becomes and reaches its
maximum value on the edge of the picture. |
Movement,
Picture Time: |
This
is the maximum speed used with click-in-picture movement,
the speed used for a click-in-picture movement depends of
the distance from the center of the image, the further away
from the center the higher the speed becomes and reaches its
maximum value on the edge of the picture. |
Movement,
Move Speed: |
The
Speed used when one of the 8-arrow buttons are clicked and
when the cgi commands "rpan" and "rtilt"
are used. |
Movement,
Move Time: |
This
value is the time it takes for the dome to move one degree
at the speed given above, used when one of the 8-arrow
buttons are clicked and when the cgi commands "rpan"
and "rtilt" are used. |
| Zoom,
Time: |
The
maximum time for a zoom move, used when you click the ends
of the relative zoom bar. If you click closer to the center
the time will be scaled to reflect this i.e the further from
the center you click the longer the time used, also affects
the "rzoom" cgi-command.
(see also the Note
below). |
| Zoom,
Speed: |
The
speed used for zoom movements. |
| Focus, Time: |
The
maximum time for a focus move, used when you click the ends
of the relative focus bar. If you click closer to the center
the time will be scaled to reflect this i.e the further from
the center you click the longer the time used, also affects
the "rfocus" cgi-command. |
| Iris, Time: |
The
maximum time for a iris move, used when you click the ends
of the relative iris bar. If you click closer to the center
the time will be scaled to reflect this i.e the further from
the center you click the longer the time used, also affects
the "riris" cgi-command. |
Note 1:
The Bosch/Philips Autodome G3A has a 2 second delay before entering
the digital zoom region (after reaching max. optical zoom). This
delay may cause the Zoom Time to expire before the
digital zoom region is entered. Should this occur, click the zoom
bar again but this time further to the right. Alternatively,
increase the value of the Zoom Time parameter.
