Calling a Zone
A Zone is a group of pre-defined Quick Views, on separate cameras, that are
called up simultaneously on separate monitors. For example, there is a Zone
in a parking garage that incorporates six cameras. Each camera calls up a
Quick View of different entrances in that parking garage. When you initiate
this Zone, all six cameras will simultaneously pan and tilt to their assigned
exit in the parking garage, and then zoom and focus automatically.
Zones are particularly useful when you have dedicated monitors at your
facility. Each dedicated monitor shows video from one and only one
camera. Zones can contain Quick Views defined for the different cameras
already called up on the dedicated monitors.
Each Zone has a unique number; the number is assigned by the system when
the Zone is defined. If you do not know the number of the Zone you want to
call up, you can select from a list of Zones. The procedure for selecting a
Zone from a list is found in “Calling a Zone from a List” in Chapter 4.
To call a Zone, press the number associated with that Zone, and press
Zone
on the keypad. The Zone is automatically called up.
The Quick Views that make up a Zone are only seen if their respective
cameras are already displayed on a monitor when the Zone is called up. If
Quick View 3 is defined for Camera 1, but Camera 1 is not the current
camera on any of the monitors, Quick View 3 will not be included in the
Zone. Camera 1 will move when the Zone is called, but its video will not be
seen.
Initiating an Activity
An Activity, like a Sequence, is a group of Actions that can be initiated from
the T
OUCH TRACKER. However, unlike in a Sequence (where the Actions
run one after the other), the Actions in an Activity occur simultaneously.
For this reason, an Activity can include only one video-related Action
(Quick View, Pattern, fixed shot, or Sequence). This is because only one
video Action can be displayed at a time on a monitor. An Activity can also
include one or more outputs and one or more Zones. Additionally, an
Activity can cause the T
OUCH TRACKER to “beep,” and display on-screen
messages.
