Chapter 3 - Setup
3.4.2 Finding your way
Use the navigation buttons to move the cursor through the menu items. If a double arrow (>>)
is visible, then pressing the Select button brings you one level lower in the menu system. Only
five items are visible in each menu. Scroll up or down to see more items.
When you first enter a menu (other than the main menu) the cursor is positioned next to the
first item. The TOP and PREVIOUS entries are not immediately visible but are located above
the first item. Use the control to scroll up to them.
• Select TOP to bring you back to the Main menu.
• Select PREVIOUS to go back to the menu that you were in before the current one.
The System menu above shows the items displayed when you first enter the menu and the
other items that are available by scrolling up or down.
3.4.3 Leaving the menu
If you are deep within the menu structure, follow these steps to leave:
• If necessary move the cursor to the left column.
• Scroll upwards until the cursor points to TOP (this is the main menu).
• Press the Select button; the cursor now points to the Menu Off item of the Main menu.
• Press the Select button to leave the menu.
This is the recommended way of leaving the system menu. The menu system disappears after
a few seconds when you stop navigating. This delay can be set in the MONITORING > MENU.
However, when you enter the menu again you enter at the last position of the cursor and not at
the top of main menu. To prevent confusion the next time you enter the system menu, it is
advisable to leave the system menu by returning to the main menu (TOP) and selecting MENU
OFF.
3.4.4 Making changes
To find out where to change a function, consult “XCU menu reference” on page 37 to find out
under which menu group or subgroup the function is located. If the cursor points to an item
(and there are no double arrows to indicate a sub-menu) then the item pointed to has a value.
The value can be:
Camera Number
IP Address
Ethernet
Serial
Camera Power
NoSignal
Video Mode
Teleprompter
