Menu settings
DIRECTION settings (PAN, TILT, ZOOM, FOCUS, IRIS, ROTATION: NORMAL/REVERSE)
When the lever or dial is operated, the DIRECTION menu item enables the operational direction of PAN, TILT, ZOOM,
FOCUS, IRIS or ROTATION to be set as the user desires.
PAN: When NORMAL is selected, the pan/tilt head moves toward the left when the PAN/TILT lever is tilted to the
LEFT and toward the right when it is tilted to the RIGHT. When REVERSE is selected, the head moves in
the opposite direction.
TILT: When NORMAL is selected, the pan/tilt head moves upward when the PAN/TILT lever is tilted toward UP
and down when it is tilted toward DOWN. When REVERSE is selected, the head moves in the opposite
direction.
ZOOM: When NORMAL is selected, the lens zoom moves toward the telephoto end when the ZOOM lever is tilted
toward TELE and toward the wide-angle end when it is tilted toward WIDE. When REVERSE is selected,
the zoom moves in the opposite direction.
FOCUS: When NORMAL is selected, the lens focus moves toward FAR when the FOCUS dial is turned clockwise
and toward NEAR when it is turned counterclockwise. When REVERSE is selected, the lens focus moves
in the opposite direction.
IRIS: When NORMAL is selected, the lens iris moves toward open when the IRIS dial is turned clockwise and
toward closed when it is turned counterclockwise. When REVERSE is selected, the lens iris moves in the
opposite direction.
ROTATION: When NORMAL is selected, the pan/tilt head moves clockwise when the top of the ROTATION control
switch is pressed and counterclockwise when the bottom is pressed. When REVERSE is selected, the
head moves in the opposite direction.
TILT RANGE setting (190/300 degrees)
This menu item is used to set the tilting range of the AW-PH400. Normally, the 190 degrees setting is used.
SPEED WITH ZOOM POS. setting (OFF/1/2/3)
At the OFF setting, the pan and tilt speed does not change in accordance with the zoom position.
At the 1, 2 or 3 setting, the panning and tilting of the pan/tilt head slows down as the zoom approaches the telephoto end,
making it easier to adjust the pan or tilt position even at the telephoto end.
The higher the number selected for the setting, the slower the pan and tilt speed at the telephoto end, and the easier it is to
adjust the position using a zoom lens with a high magnification rate.
PRESET SPEED setting (1 to 25)
During preset memory data play, this menu item enables the movement speed to the preset positions to be set to one of 25
steps. The higher the setting, the faster the movement speed to the preset positions; conversely, the lower the setting, the
slower the movement speed.
IRIS CONTROL setting (BOTH/RP400/CB400)
When the AW-CB400 remote operation panel has been connected to the AW-RP400 control panel, this menu item is used to
set which control panel is to be used to adjust the lens iris.
At the BOTH setting, the lens iris can be controlled from both the AW-RP400 and AW-CB400. At the RP400 setting, it can be
controlled only from the AW-RP400; similarly, at the CB400 setting, it can be controlled only from the AW-CB400.
ROTATION SWITCH setting (ROTATION/FOCUS/ZOOM/IRIS)
This menu item enables ROTATION, FOCUS, ZOOM or IRIS to be selected as the function to be controlled by the
ROTATION switch.
