Full PTZ control
PTZ Object
To control the full PTZ it`s necessary to have a PTZ Object within the object tree.
Within the PTZ Object it´s necessary to define the Settings.
At least the ranges for Pan and Tilt needs to be defined.
Map Output
A Map Output within the PTZ is sending the Visca data from the virtual PTZ object to the real PTZ camera.
The Map Output for the PTZ has different ranges for Zoom, Focus, Pan and Tilt.
These Values needs to match with the receiving device.
Map Output Tracked
This Map Output is to emulate a joystick, and can be driven by tracking data.
PTZ Follow Object
The PTZ object can be used as “follow” camera.
It´s possible to assign a target were the camera is focusing to.
