Steady Shot – The viewed picture is made from a window which shows part of the full picture from the camera
sensor. This means that part of the picture is wasted. The viewed part of the picture is moved automatically to
use some of the wasted part so that the observed picture is stable and has compensated for the vibrations and
minor movements of the Eclipse HD. The maximum amount of picture stability is achieved for all zoom settings.
The part of the picture that is wasted reduces the resolution of the viewed picture when the camera is set to
1080P and steady shot is selected. When the camera is set to 720P it is usual for no resolution to be lost when
steady shot is selected.
Stable Zoom – In this mode, when the picture is zoomed fully out (wide angle) the steady shot feature has no
effect. As the picture is zoomed out the effect of the vibrations is naturally minimized. As the picture zooms
in, the part of the picture that is viewed is a window within the whole (unzoomed) picture. The unused part of
the picture is used to allow the viewed part of the picture to be moved automatically to compensate for the
vibrations. In this mode, the viewed picture has full resolution for all of the zoom range, but the camera does not
compensate for the vibrations when the picture zoom is at or near to the fully zoomed out setting.
Extended Zoom – This option doesn’t produce a steady picture, instead of which, a window within the whole
picture is viewed i.e. the scaling of the picture is altered slightly which gives the advantage that the normal 30x
zoom has been extended to 36x zoom. This is effectively a digital zoom and as such, when 1080P is used, the
resolution of the picture has been slightly reduced. When the camera is set to 720P it is usual for full resolution
to be achieved for the full range of zoom settings.
Night Settings
• Night Changeover - Night Changeover settings can be changed to suit the site requirements. Options
are dark, medium, light and custom. Default is dark.
This sets when the camera goes into ‘dark
mode’.
• Custom On Level - Range is 7 to 25. A lower value will set the level on when the scene is brighter, a
higher value will set the level on when the scene is darker. Default is 7.
•
Custom Off Level - Range is 1 to 20. A lower value will set the level off when the scene is brighter, a
higher value will set the level off when the scene is darker. Default is 1.
•
Night Brightness - This controls the exposure compensation, by artificially brightening the image.
Options are normal and auto. Default is normal.
• Night Illumination - Choose which type of light source is required for when the camera is in dark
mode. Options are IR or white light if supported by the camera.
• Night Intensity - Set what power the lamps will run at. Default is 100%.
• Night Sensor - Can be set to colour or mono. Default is mono.
• Night Focus Range - Sets how the camera will focus (when in mono) to suit the light source in the
scene. If this is set incorrectly the image may not be in focus.
• Night Focus Sensitivity - This can be set to normal or low. When it is set to low the method used to
focus the camera is suited to low light conditions. Default is low.
• Night Aperture - Can be used to increase the picture detail. Default is 3.
• Night Noise Reduction - Used to reduce noise with scenes of low illumination. NR must be set to suit
the environment. Default is 1.
•
Night Presets - This can be used to set the presets to different settings if required. Default is on.
(See Advanced Features - page 14).

• Night HLC Level - Set a value to help mask high intensity light sources, options are low, medium and
high.
• Night HLC Mask - Sets a mask for the light source, options are 1 (white) to 15 (grey).
Configuration
• Sun Shield - Feature not available.
• Auto Flip - Feature not available.
• Attack Detect - Feature not available.
•
Upright Mount - Can be used to flip the image, so the camera can be used on a pole or a ceiling.

• Status Refresh Rate - Can be used to help speed up telemetry control of the camera, by slowing
down the refresh rate.
