Creating Home or Target shots

Before creating shots for a new show you should create a shot called HOME or
TARGET for each camera unit mounted on a pedestal. These shots should position
each pedestal at the correct location for targeting.

At the end of every show it is good practice to send each pedestal to its HOME or
TARGET shot. Then, before the next show, you can quickly target each pedestal to
ensure that all of the shots for each show will be exactly as they were stored.

To store a Home or Target shot for a camera unit:

Set the required configuration options, by selecting Menu>Configuration
and making sure that:
•

Require Shot Name is ON

•

Require Shot Time is OFF (to use the default fade time).

•

Then touch Return to close the Configuration screen.

Select a camera unit mounted on a pedestal on the touch screen or the
joystick panel.

Use the XY/Height joystick to move the pedestal to the correct starting
position for targeting. (See Targeting the pedestals on page 95).

Select Store on the touch screen and touch a position on the grid to store the
shot.
The shot Name dialog is displayed.

Type in a name (e.g. HOME) and touch Enter.

Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the remaining pedestal mounted camera units
in the system.

For SP-2000 pedestals, the TARGET or HOME shot is centred over the target.
Therefore, the pedestal will protect the targets from any damage which may be
caused by people walking on them, scenery being moved over them, floor cleaning
and so on.

NOTE: The shot name can be a maximum of 16 characters long.
