Name Description
Select joystick Select from the list of available joysticks.
Axis setup: Name
There are three axes:

X-axis (horizontal)

Y-axis (vertical)

Z-axis (the depth or zoom level).
Axis setup: Invert
Select to change the default direction the camera moves in when
you move the joystick. For example, select to move a PTZ camera
to the left when you move the joystick to the right and move down
when you move the joystick towards you.
Axis setup: Absolute
Select to use a fixed rather than a relative positioning scheme
(moving the joystick moves the joystick-controlled object based on
the object's current position).
Axis setup: Action
Select the function for an axis: Camera PTZ Pan, Camera PTZ Tilt,
Camera PTZ Zoom, or No action.
Axis setup: Preview
Test the effect of your selections. When you have selected a
function for the axis you want to test, move the joystick along the
required axis to view the effect, indicated by a movement of the
blue bar.
Dead zone setup: Pan/Tilt
Specify the dead zone for the joystick's pan and tilt functions. The
further you drag the slider to the right, the larger the dead zone
becomes, and the more you will have to move the joystick handle
before information is sent to the camera. Dragging the slider to the
far left disables the dead zone (only recommended for high-
precision joysticks). Use the Axis setup preview to test the effect of
your dead zone settings.
Dead zone setup: Zoom
Specify dead zone for the joystick's zoom function. The further you
drag the slider to the right, the larger the dead zone becomes, and
the more you will have to move the joystick handle before
information is sent to the camera. Dragging the slider to the far left
disables the dead zone (only recommended for high-precision
joysticks). Use the Axis setup preview to test the effect of your dead
zone settings.
