Precautions
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in
which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
FCC Caution:
To ensure continued compliance, use only shielded interface cables when connecting to
computer or peripheral devices. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operation this
equipment.
Overview
The speed dome control keyboard is a peripheral control device for speed domes,
decoders, and other terminal receivers. The EIA/RS – 485 electric interface is used to
connect a control keyboard to a receiver. The maximum communication distance is 1.2 km
(~4000 feet). The keyboard can control up to 256 speed domes or decoders (with no bus-
powered devices). A speed dome camera can be controlled and installed using a i3C762
joystick keyboard.
Functions
The following functions are available:
1. Setting an address range for dome cameras or decoders: 0~255.
2. Controlling each function of the cameras directly.
3. Entering the speed dome menu for option setting.
4. Operating the built-in control panel of the speed dome camera.
5. Setting and adjusting presets and tracking of the speed dome camera.
6. Controlling the speed dome camera either manually or automatically and changing
the camera’s default settings by adjusting the menu of a specific camera.
7. Controlling zoom, focus, and iris manually.
8. Controlling multiple speed dome cameras.
9. Having built-in multi-protocol for selection.

(Preset Tour) must be first configured in the speed dome
OSD menu. i3C762 supports up to 4 unique Patrols. The
second line of the display awaits an existing Patrol number
input from 0 ~ 4.
Pattern function is the speed dome’s pan/tilt movements
recorded by the i3C762. This function does not rely on
the Camera’s presets. i3C762 supports up to 4 unique
Patterns.
Use [cam id] or [enter] to decrease or increase the pan/
tilt degree value. The higher the value, the greater the
pan/tilt degree.
Hot Keys
Certain i3C762 buttons act as “hot keys” or shortcuts for specific functions.
[open] Enlarge lens IRIS [wide] Zoom out
[close] Decrease lens IRIS [tele] Zoom in
[near] Focus near [lock] Lock all functions
[far] Focus far [origin] Return to home position
Joystick Control Pan/Tilt Panel
The gearshift joystick is used to control rotation/
elevation direction and speed of the Pan / Tilt
functions of a speed dome camera. The angle of the
joystick shown determines the rotation/elevation
speed. The rotation speed can be adjusted evenly
by changing the inclination angle of the joystick.
During scanning, the camera will auto-focus on a
clear object.
A 3D joystick can be used to zoom the lens in/out. Twist in the clockwise direction to
Zoom In and Counter-clockwise to Zoom Out.
