15T Robotic Pan Tilt Head. See the ZEK-1 user manual for installation instructions.
With the ZEK-1 installed, you can set P/T Acceleration and P/T Speed to Auto (recommended) for
smooth PTZ camera control.
The P/T Acceleration defines the rate at which the pan and tilt movement will reach its top speed.
When set to Auto, the acceleration changes according to the zoom direction. When zooming out, the
acceleration increases for responsive PTZ movement; when zooming in, the acceleration decreases for
smooth PTZ movement.
The P/T Speed defines how fast or slow the pan and tilt movement will be. The PTR device offers 18
levels of speed of P/T movement. When set to Auto, the speed changes according to the zoom
direction as well. When zooming out, the speed will be automatically increased to 18 for responsive
PTZ movement. When zooming in, the speed will be automatically decreased to a value in the range
between 3 and 6 for smooth PTZ movement.
