Autopan

Camera Autopan

Note: The Autopan functionality is only available on SynxHD cameras.

Autopan is the ability to select two points and then have the camera repeatedly pan between these two points, left and right, at a selected speed. This will continue until the camera is moved.

Configuration

Navigate to System Setup --> Advanced Configuration --> Workstations --> Client Configuration Setting.

Under the GUI Settings tab, locate the advancedSynxCameraFunctions entry. Ensure that its Current Value is set to true.

Click Save. This will make both the Cruise and Autopan functions available.

Navigate to System Setup --> Advanced Configuration --> Camera --> Setup Camera Types. Select the Autopan checkbox.

This enables the buttons in the Camera Functions panel, as shown in the image below. If the Autopan box is not selected, the related buttons in the Camera Functions panel will be disabled.

Using Autopan

To use the autopan functionality:

Select the ID you want to configure using the drop-down menu. This is set to 1-4, as the autopan feature is only supported in our SynxHD cameras, which only support up to four configured autopans.
Select the initial Direction in which you would like the camera to travel, from the start position to the end position.
Select the Speed at which you would like the camera to travel.
Using the Camera Control panel, move the camera to the position from which you would like the autopan to start and press the Set Start Pos button.
Using the Camera Control panel, move the camera to the position at which you would like the autopan to finish and press the Set End Pos button. This saves the configured autopan in the camera's head.
To start the autopan, click Start Autopan.
