PRESETS

The

Preset Bin

shows sixteen thumbnail icons for the currently

PTZ camera

. Click

a preset to select it, and the camera automatically begins moving to the new
position.

To configure and store a preset:

1.

Use the

Position, Zoom

and

Focus

controls mentioned in the previous

section to navigate to the desired camera angle, etc.

2.

Then move the mouse over the preset icon you wish to store (or update), and click the

Snapshot

(camera) gadget that pops up at upper-right corner of the icon.

Hint: Hold Shift when clicking the Snapshot icon to update the representative thumbnail image without
modifying the preset already stored in that slot.

3.

(Optional) Click the

Configuration

gadget

(gear) to open a Properties dialog that lets you assign a

different

Alias

and

Comment

to each preset. (These entries also provide values for

DataLink

keys that

can be used in the usual ways.)

Hint: See also Section 10.5.1, Viewport Presets, to learn how to display and use presets in your multiviews.
