Operation/Configuration Using JCU Buttons
Operation/Configuration Using JCU Buttons
Ensure the JCU you are using is communicating with the camera to be
operated/configured. If necessary, use the Assign JCU function in the JCU
Power Menu to connect the JCU to the appropriate camera.
The following camera settings are controlled with the buttons on the JCU.
COLOR
The COLOR button switches the thermal camera video between a greyscale
mode and one or more color modes. When viewed at night in the darkness,
the default color mode uses a red-colored video image that may help preserve
the user’s night vision. Based on personal preferences, one of the
other color settings (or color palettes) may be desirable.
Press the COLOR button to cycle through the different color settings. The
function of the COLOR button is dependent on the on-screen menu settings
in the Video Menu. If the COLOR button only allows access to two settings
(toggles between white-hot and red-hot, or black-hot and red-cold) then it is
likely the Disable Color Thermal Video menu entry has been selected. Refer
to the Configuration Menus section for additional information.
Note: The USER button is configured with the Invert Video Polarity setting
by default, so it will toggle the infrared imagery from white-hot (or red-hot, if
the COLOR setting is active) to black-hot.
HOME
The HOME button is used to move the camera to its home position, or it is
used to select a given position as the home position. The Home position is a
programmable preset position - usually straight ahead and level with the
horizon – which operators can use as a reference.
To set the Home position, use the Puck to point the camera’s line of sight to
the position you want to set as “Home.” Press and hold the HOME button
for 3 seconds; the Home symbol will flash on the screen when the new
Home position is set. When you want to move the camera to this Home
position, press and release the HOME button. When you push the HOME
button, this icon will appear on the screen briefly.
Note: The Home position is not the same as the Stow position. The Home
position is the position the camera will most likely be in when the camera is
in use. The Stow position is the preferred position when the camera is not
in use, for protecting the camera optics. Both positions are programmable
by the user; refer to the Configuration Menus section for additional information
regarding the Stow position.
