• The specific target of Joystick operations at any moment is determined by a set of Joystick delegate
buttons, outlined in red above.
• As appropriate, this selection is further refined by buttons in the Layer group at right, outlined in blue
above.
• Finally, the nature of the operation performed on the target is determined by a set of Control Mode
buttons at lower left, outlined in green above.
Let’s consider the primary delegates first.
22.8.1 DELEGATES
FOLLOW PREVIEW
Probably the most useful joystick delegate mode is Follow Preview . You will probably not be surprised to
learn that, when enabled (as is the default in new sessions) the joystick assignment tracks your Main >
Preview (
PREV ) row selection.
Since the Live Desktop normally displays a large Preview monitor , this makes setting up exactly the shot you
want for the upcoming source queued on Preview the proverbial ‘no - brainer’. Or, to quic kly modify the
framing of a bunch of PTZ cameras, or a series of M/Es, just select them one after another on the PREV row
and adjust to taste.
Hint: To open the Input Configuration panel for the source currently selected on the Preview row to adjust its
settings, simply tap the * (asterisk) key in the keyboard numberpad.
Of course the joystick has several other delegate modes, discussed next, but the default Follow Preview mode
is very useful, and can be easily restored from any other mode by pressing the PTZ and RESET buttons
together.
