This chapter contains the following sections:

Overview​

The PT Head Control Plugin is a DashBoard application that enables you to control supported robotic Pan & Tilt heads (PT heads). You can control PT heads manually, and store and recall presets.

In addition to performing pan and tilt motions, the DashBoard PT Head Control Plugin enables you to control lens and camera functions such as zoom, focus, iris, and paint settings.

This manual describes how to set up your system for use with the PT Head Control Plugin.

Documentation Conventions​

Special text formats are used in this manual to identify parts of the user interface, text that a user must enter, or a sequence of menus and submenus that must be followed to reach a particular command.

Interface Elements​

Bold text is used to identify a user interface element such as a dialog box, menu item, or button. For example:

On the Manage Deleted Presets page, tap the ALL BANKS tab to view all deleted presets.

Touch-Screen Support​

This guide assumes you are using a touch-screen. The guide includes instructions to tap user interface elements. If you are using a mouse instead of a touch screen, click the mouse instead of tapping.

User-Typed Text​

Courier text is used to identify text that a user must type. For example:

In the File Name box, type Channel02.property.

Referenced Guides​

Italic text is used to identify the titles of referenced guides, manuals, or documents. For example:

User Manual for PT Head Control Plugin (8351DR-019-xx)**

Menu arrows are used in procedures to identify a sequence of menu items that you must follow. For example, if a step reads “ Server > Save As ,” you would tap the Server menu and then tap Save As .
