If the joystick is connected to the Server and configured in Windows OS, then INTELLECT™ automatically activates the joystick telemetry control option. The option is valid for all PTZ devices connected to the Server and configured in INTELLECT™.

Generally the joystick configuration contains the following stages:

  1. Testing joystick handle functioning in INTELLECT™. This procedure is described in the Testing joystick functioning section.
    Configuration of issuing the command to PTZ devices using the joystick keys. For configuration instructions see the Assigning commands to joystick buttons for telemetry control section.
    Testing joystick keys functioning in INTELLECT™. The procedure is similar to testing joystick handle functioning. For a detailed description see the Testing joystick functioning   section.

The following functions are available by default and do not require additional configuration:  

  1. Rotation of cameras equipped with PTZ devices is performed by inclining the joystick handle;

    Note

    Joystick threshold corresponds to the Joystick Threshold string parameter and is set int the HKLM\SOFTWARE\ITV\Intellect\Telemetry register of the Windows OS. By default Joystick Threshold=1, this parameter can possess values from 0 and more. The bigger the value, the less sensitive the joystick is, the best value is selected empirically.

  2. Zooming option is performed by turning a joystick handle around its vertical axis.

The zooming option is available only for joysticks with Z axis, for example Axis 295. This axis is formed by joystick handle’s angles of rotation.

Z axis is enabled by default and corresponds to the value of Zenable=1 string parameter in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\ITV\INTELLECT\Telemetry register of the Windows OS.

Attention!

The coordinate of joystick Z axis is to be automatically zeroized after every zooming for proper telemetry control. Otherwise Z axis is to be disabled by setting the Zenable=0 parameter in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\ITV\INTELLECT\Telemetry section.

Note

 Z axis is to be disabled when the Logitech USB joystick is used.
