Controlling Tours
A tour is a dynamic sequence of camera views or
patterns, each of which appears on a selected
monitor screen for a specified dwell time. In
addition, each preset or pattern can have a pre-
programmed preset status, auxiliary status, and
connect next designation. The tour control buttons
are located below the Monitor/VCR display.
