remote camera site.
SHOT - Press SHOT to call up a preset scene at a
remote camera site.

a camera sequence. The END key is used to exit the
programming mode. This is actually a single key with
two separate functions.
MEMORY - Use the MEMORY key to record a series
of keystrokes into the keyboard local memory. These
memories may then be played back to simplify
complicated command sequences. There are ten
memories having up to 75 keystrokes each.
USER - Press USER to log-on and log-off the system

installer, or to select between any of the keyboard
'user' functions. A complete list of the 'user' functions

monitors.
* (star) - This key is an advanced programming
feature and has no default function. It sends a control
code to the Allegiant which will cause ERROR 96 to
occur unless a custom program function has been
predefined at the Factory.

Telemetry Controls

Telemetry controls activate the camera movements.
These keys will
receiver/drivers at remote camera sites as long as
the keys are held down. This gives the operator
control over pan/tilt and zoom lens action in addition
to any auxiliary functions used. On the TC8550A
keyboard, these controls are ergonomically placed so
that the operator may operate the lens and the
pan/tilt simultaneously.
pan/tilt/zoom/focus commands (Example - Zoom In,
Focus Far, Pan Left, and Tilt Down) may be sent to a
remote camera site at one time. All three zoom lens
functions can also be sent simultaneously (Example -
Zoom Out, Focus Near, Iris Open).
Pan/Tilt Control - The pan/tilt control is the joystick
located on the right side of the keyboard (or four
directional buttons on the TC8551A). Move it in any
one of eight directions to make the camera indicated
by the number in the camera display tilt up or down,
pan left or right, or move diagonally. The joystick of
the TC8553 series keyboards are also used to
provide zoom control by rotating the knob in either a
clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
Lens Control - The lens control buttons are rocker
switches located on the left side of the keyboard.
Push either the top or the bottom of the switch to
make the lens zoom in or out, focus near or far, and
open or close the iris (on applicable lenses). Zoom
and focus may be operated simultaneously. For the
TC8553 series keyboards, the zoom function is
controlled by rotating the knob on the joystick.
