Control

 

• Touch Screen Display: The responsive four-inch touch screen provides quick access to camera control, monitoring, and system settings.
   
• Visual Camera Selection: Thumbnail previews show what each camera is capturing, making it easier to quickly identify and select the desired camera.
   
• Visual Preset Recall: Thumbnail previews of preset positions of each camera make it easy to quickly identify and recall the desired preset.
   
• Number/Direct Call: Recall cameras or presets instantly using keypad direct call or number entry followed by the call command.
  
   
• Custom Joystick Built for Precision & Longevity:

  • Engineered specifically for professional camera operation.

  • Designed for long operational life, supporting 700,000+ real-world control actions

  • The precision joystick maintains precise control accuracy, with only 0.7% deviation after 500,000 rotations.
     

• Simultaneous Three-Axis Movement: Control pan, tilt, and zoom simultaneously for smooth, coordinated camera movement on all three (3) axes.
   
• User-Definable Function Buttons: Assignable buttons and knobs allow operators to map commonly used functions for faster control and personalized workflows.
   
• Image Parameter Adjustments: Dedicated knobs and controls allow quick adjustment of image settings such as white balance, exposure, iris, and shutter.
   
• PTZ Speed Control: Adjust pan, tilt, and zoom speeds to match different shooting situations and achieve smoother camera movement.
   
• Roll-Axis Control: Directly control the roll axis on compatible Bolin cameras for horizon correction, vertical video, and creative framing.
   
• Dual-Hand Control: Operate the joystick with one hand while adjusting zoom, focus, or image settings with the other for coordinated control.
   
• Macro Commands: Create custom macro commands to trigger multiple camera actions with a single button press for faster operation.
   
• KBD AI Control: Controller-based AI tracking sends movement commands to the camera, adding subject tracking to cameras without built-in AI. Coming in a future firmware update.
   
• NDAA Compliant: Built without restricted components from banned manufacturers, supporting deployment in security-sensitive environments.
