Step 3. Set the system select switch for your desired video output resolution and frame rate.
For many applications, setting 0 (1080p-60) will provide the best overall performance.
For highest possible resolution, use setting 0 (1080p-60) or 6 (1080p-30), however your actual realized frame rate may
be limited to a lower value than 60 fps by your software and/or network connection.
NOTE: After changing this dial, you need to restart the camera to see the effect. Turn the camera off.

1. To store a preset position: The user should manually
setup the desired shot using the Pan Tilt and Zoom
controls. Press the [PRESET] button first and then press
the numeric button [0-9] to which you want to assign the
shot. Ten total preset positions (0-9) are available from
the IR remote control (255 available via RS232/RS485/IP
Interfaces).
2. To erase the memory content of a preset position: The
user should press the [RESET] button first and then press
the numeric button 0-9 associated with that preset.
Note:
Pressing [*] + [#] + [RESET] in sequence will erase
all presets in the memory.
Page 15 of 51
7. Recalling Presets
Pressing any of the numeric buttons [0-9] directly will
recall a stored preset position and settings.
Note:
No action will be executed if a specific numeric preset
position has not yet been saved.
8. Camera Selection
Press the [1-4] button corresponding to the camera with
the IR address that you want to operate. This allows for
up to 4 cameras to be operated via the same IR remote in
the same room.
9. Camera IR Address Set
Press 3 buttons in the sequence shown below to
set/change the camera‟s IR address. This allows up to 4
cameras to be controlled from the same IR remote
control. Be sure that only one camera is picking up the IR
signal when you perform this function. If multiple
cameras receive the command, they will all change to the
new address.
Address 1: [*] + [＃] + [F1]
Address 2: [*] + [＃] + [F2]
Address 3: [*] + [＃] + [F3]
Address 4: [*] + [＃] + [F4]
10. Image Freeze
Press the [ ] button to freeze or unfreeze the video
image. This can be useful while recalling presets to hide
