・When zoomed out by continuing the zoom (WIDE) operation, images displayed on the screen will eventually change from PTZ image to fisheye image.

・In the condition where the installation method is “Ceiling” or “Desktop” and fisheye images are displayed, rotation of the displayed image is available.

・In the condition where PTZ image is displayed, pan/tilt/zoom operations are available.

The following are descriptions about display position of images for which 3D Dewarp is used.

■Zoom out
By rotating the mouse wheel backwards during the PTZ image display, the displayed image will be zoomed (WIDE).

→ When reached the zoom limit (WIDE), the PTZ image will turn to a fisheye image. When zooming out at this point, the display position of the PTZ image will move to the center line of the fisheye image.

4.1.4.1.2Pan/tilt/zoom operation

A PTZ image can be controlled by the pan/tilt/zoom operation.
