Configuration Menus
Enable (Disable) High Power Standby
This menu entry controls the amount of power that is supplied to the pan/
tilt motors while the camera is in the Standby mode. Choosing the amount
of power to use involves a trade-off between power consumption and the
ability of the gimbal assembly to hold the camera in place in rough seas. If
the gimbal moves due to shock or vibration, the camera may not be in line
with the Position Indicator or may lose precision regarding the Home position.
The High Power Standby mode may be useful for power boats that operate
at higher speeds and experience high impact environments, and can accept
higher power consumption.
Note: The High Power Standby mode is enabled by default; for vessels such
as sailboats with a limited power budget, it may be wise to disable the High
Power mode. Refer to the Power Consumption table below.
Note: If the gimbal moves due to shock or vibration rather than a command
from the JCU, the camera can be reset by repeated pressing of the HOME
button 4 times.
When the Enable or Disable selection is made, the camera prompts the
user to confirm or cancel the selection.
Enable (Disable) High Motor Torque
This menu entry controls the amount of power that is supplied to the pan/
tilt motors while the camera is in the Powered On mode. As with the High
Power Standby mode option, choosing the amount of motor torque to use
involves a trade-off between power consumption and the ability of the gimbal
assembly to hold the camera in place in rough seas. Also a trade-off
with camera readiness delay is possible in cold environments while the system
reaches operational temperature.
The High Motor Torque mode may be useful for power boats that operate
at higher speeds and experience high impact environments, and can accept
higher power consumption.
Note: The High Motor Torque mode is enabled by default; for vessels such
as sailboats with a limited power budget, it may be wise to disable the High
Power mode. Refer to the Power Consumption table below.
Note: If the gimbal moves due to shock or vibration rather than a command
from the JCU, the camera can be reset by repeated pressing of the HOME
button 4 times.
