PTZ Camera Presets and Preset Groups in Hive

Creating PTZ Presets in Hive

PTZOptics Hive makes it incredibly easy to create and manage PTZ camera presets. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

1. Accessing the Preset Menu
– Open PTZOptics Hive and navigate to the camera control interface.
– Locate the preset section at the bottom of the screen.

2. Creating a New Preset
– Click the **plus (+) button** in the bottom section of the screen.
– Position your camera to the desired location and adjust the zoom as needed.
– Click **Save** to create a new preset. Hive will automatically generate an image of the camera’s view at that position, making it easy to recall the preset later.
– Name each preset for easy identification, such as “Stage Center,” “Audience Wide,” or “Presenter Close-up.”

3. Managing Presets
– Repeat the process to create as many presets as you need.
– You can easily recall a preset by clicking on its corresponding image or name.

Creating and Using PTZ Preset Groups

As your collection of presets grows, organizing them into groups can streamline your workflow. Here’s how to create and manage preset groups in Hive:

1. Creating a Preset Group
– In the preset menu, select the option to create a new group.
– Name the group according to its function, such as “Conference Room,” “Concert Stage,” or “Studio Setup.”

2. Adding Presets to a Group
– Drag and drop individual presets into the appropriate group.
– You can create multiple groups to cover different areas or scenes in your production.

3. Using Preset Groups
– Click on a group name to reveal the presets stored within.
– This organization helps you quickly access the presets you need during a live production, improving efficiency and reducing on-air mistakes.
