Running a Tour
A Tour sequentially displays a selected series of camera video
inputs on a single monitor. A tour can display 64 cameras in
the sequence, with each camera displayed for a defined period
of time (the Dwell Time). The tour sequence is reversible.
Monitor Tours are temporary tours defined by non-menu
programming, page 3-5. System Tours are defined by menu
programming, page 4-5.
Note: All LOCAL Tours may be run from a keyboard;
REMOTE System Tours may also be run from a keyboard.
To start a Monitor Tour:
• Press the keyboard RUN button following programming
of the tour (see page 3-5).
To start a System Tour (from the keyboard):
1. Call the LOCAL monitor to run the tour on.
For a REMOTE tour, call the desired site to this monitor.
2. Enter the System Tour number (1 - 64) on the keypad.
3. Press the RUN button on the keyboard.
4. Press the keyboard ACK button
within three seconds of
pressing the RUN button.
If the ACK button is not pressed within the 3-second
period, repeat the sequence from step 2.
LOCAL System Tours can also be called automatically by
Event Timers, see page 4-10.
Note: Only one tour can be started on and associated with a
monitor at one time. If a Monitor Tour is programmed for
a monitor and then a System Tour is called to that monitor,
the Monitor Tour is replaced by the System Tour. The
System Tour becomes that monitor’s Monitor Tour.
Once a tour is started, it is operated and controlled in the same
manner, regardless of the method of starting the tour. The tour
repeats continuously until the operator Holds that tour, or until
another camera or tour is called to that monitor.
Note: If a tour is started and the keyboard calls a new monitor,
the tour continues running on the first monitor.
System Tours may call other System Tours in order to link a
number of tours together for a larger camera sequence (see
Connect Next feature of System Tours, page 4-7). If a series of
System Tours are linked in this manner, the entire sequence
repeats continuously only if the last tour calls the first tour to
start the sequence over. If the last tour does not link back to an
earlier tour, only that tour repeats continuously.
While a tour sequence is running, the monitor on-screen Status
Line shows the dwell time for each camera as it is displayed in
the tour sequence.
• While a tour is running in the forward direction, an “F”
is displayed beside the dwell time.
• While a tour is running in the reverse direction, an “R” is
displayed beside the dwell time.
To change the direction of a tour:
Note: While a tour is running, the direction can be changed
from AD2078, AD2079, and AD2088 keyboards only.
• Press the keyboard NEXT button to change the tour to
forward direction.
• Press the keyboard LAST button to change the tour to
reverse direction.
Note: When a tour is running in reverse, the Connect Next
tour linking feature may not operate as expected (see
Connect Next, page 4-7).
To stop (“Hold”) a tour:
• Press the keyboard HOLD button to stop a tour on the
currently displayed camera.
• If a dwell time of 61 is programmed for a camera, the
tour automatically stops and Holds on that camera.
When a tour is on hold, the monitor displays the camera that
the tour is stopped on, and the message “HOLD” is displayed
in the Status Line. While a tour is on Hold, any camera control
actions (pan, tilt, lens, preset, or auxiliary, page 2-5) may be
performed on that camera.
To view and control a tour on Hold:
• Press the keyboard NEXT button to step to and view the
next camera of the tour sequence, and set the tour to
forward direction.
• Press the LAST button (AD2088 keyboards only) to step
back to and view the prior camera of the tour, and set the
tour to reverse.
• Enter 1 on the keypad, then press the NEXT button to
set the tour to forward direction.
• Enter 2 on the keypad, then press the NEXT button to
set the tour to reverse direction.
• Press the keyboard RUN button to resume running the
tour, in the direction selected.
