3.1 Tqassim tal-Panew tal-Kontroll

• Skrin LCD: Displays current camera status, settings, and menu options.
• Joysticks: Controls pan, tilt, and zoom (by twisting) with variable speed.
• Camera Select (CAM1-CAM7): Buttons to select which camera to control.
• Kontrolli taż-żum: Dedicated 'ZOOM <' and '> ZOOM' buttons for fine-tuning zoom.
• Ċwievet tal-Funzjoni: Buttons for various camera functions such as MENU, HOME, SETUP, PRESET, CALL, BRIGHTNESS, FOCUS, etc.
• Numri Ċwievet: Used for entering values, selecting presets, or navigating menus.
• Function Wheel: For adjusting specific parameters like iris or focus, depending on the selected function.

3.2 Operazzjoni Bażika

1. Qawwa Mixgħul: Flip the power switch on the rear panel. The LCD screen will illuminate.
2. Agħżel il-Kamera: Press the corresponding 'CAM' button (e.g., CAM1) to select the camera you wish to control.
3. Pan/Mejjel: Move the joystick left, right, up, or down to pan and tilt the selected camera. The speed of movement is proportional to how far you push the joystick.
4. Zoom: Twist the joystick clockwise for telephoto (zoom in) and counter-clockwise for wide-angle (zoom out). Alternatively, use the dedicated 'ZOOM <' and '> ZOOM' buttons.
5. Fokus: Use the 'AUTO FOCUS' button or the 'NEAR' and 'FAR' buttons to adjust focus. The Function Wheel may also be assigned for manual focus.
6. Presets: To save a preset, position the camera, then press 'PRESET' followed by a number key (0-9). To recall a preset, press 'CALL' followed by the saved number key.
