1Understanding Your
New TOUCH TRACKER®
The TOUCH TRACKER allows you to easily control
the pan/tilt of the selected dome using the Tracker
Ball. The distance and amount of force applied to
the Tracker Ball controls the speed of the pan/tilt
movement for the dome. This is called
"proportional control" and differs significantly from
the controlling domes with the VM1 keyboard.
With the VM1 keyboard, the dome movement is
the same whenever the pan/tilt control is pressed.
To adjust the speed, pressing one of the three
"rail" keys slightly modifies the speed of the pan/tilt
movement. To achieve maximum control, it may
be necessary to press and release the pan/tilt
control multiple times.

With the TOUCH TRACKER, the speed of the dome
pan/tilt movement is directly related to the distance
the Tracker Ball is moved from its center position.
To move the dome slowly, move the Tracker Ball
slightly in the desired direction. To increase the
speed of the dome movement, move the Tracker
Ball more in the desired direction. When the
Tracker Ball is moved to its maximum distance,
the dome will reach its maximum speed and
remain at that speed as long as the Tracker Ball its
kept at its maximum distance. To reduce the
speed of the dome movement, reduce the force on
the Tracker Ball slightly. It is not necessary to
move and release the Tracker Ball to achieve
maximum control of the dome position and speed.
