The MACHV type is specially designed for use in conjunction with video surveillance systems. The exact and sensitive return of the angle sensors enables a sensitive control of video cameras in the pan, tilt and zoom function. Extensive switching functions can be realized via the 12 buttons integrated in the housing and on the knob. For example, the selection of up to 10 individual surveillance cameras is possible via the housing buttons. Zoom, record or other functions can be controlled via the buttons in the stick knob for the video surveillance application. For other applications, such as medical technology, the extensive functionality of the housing buttons opens up new possibilities.
