With the exception of the focus and field of view adjustments (made 

using levers A and B) all settings for the ZC-DWT4039 series camera 

are made using its on screen menu display. A working video monitor 

and a separate plug-in control board (C,G) are required to view and 

select options.   

 

Within the dome enclosure, attach the Control Board connector to the 

socket (D) at the top of the service jack interface board (Type A), or on 

the socket (H) on the gimbals disk (Type B). Ensure that the OSD lead 

(F) is connected between the middle socket of the smaller circuit board 

and the camera. 

 

With power applied to the camera and a video monitor connected, 

press and hold the ENTER key for three seconds to access the top 

level menu. A map of the menu options are shown below. 

 

To navigate through the menus, use the arrow keys on the control 

board and use the ENTER key the “SAVE SETTINGS” option in the 

“SAVE/RESTORE” menu. Otherwise any changes made will be lost 

when the camera is next reset or has its power cycled.   

 

Menu Description 

 

PRESETS 

These are "factory-set" general configurations. Select from the 

preconfigured camera modes for the best performance in the specified 

environment. Pressing the ENTER key on the selected option will 

display the pre-configured set-up parameters. 

NORMAL - This should provide the most versatile settings for general 

purpose applications. 

INDOOR or OUTDOOR - These settings are optimized for 

indoor/outdoor lighting conditions. 

FLUOR1 - Line lock recommended. 

INT 1 - Internally generated sync. 

LL - Line lock - sync is locked to the AC supply cycle and permits 

adjustment of V-phase to correct vertical sync picture roll. (Applicable 

for 24 V AC supply only. If a 12 V DC power supply is used, then the 

camera will run in INT1 or INT2.) 

INT 2 - Internal flicker less - Internally generated sync that can reduce 

flicker under florescent lighting. 

FLUOR2 - DC IRIS recommended. 

EXPOSURE 

EXPOSE MODE has 4 Exposure modes for selection. Each Exposure 

mode uses the electronic shutter differently and is suitable for a 

specific environment. 

AGC - Automatic gain control - When low light priority is set to gain, 

gain increases as light decreases up to the maximum set using gain 

limit. No color artifacts are visible nor does the dynamic range 

decrease as gain increases. 

WDR RANGE CTRL - Use WDR control, electronic shutter control, 

mechanical iris control, and the low brightness zone controls selected 

in LOW Lux MODE to automatically control the exposure time.  

Seamless switching between control zones delivers shockless AE.  

**Requires a separate mechanical lens. 

AE PREFs - Automatically optimizes the scene for highlights or for 

shadows. 

SHUTTER LIMIT - Limits the shutter value. 

WHITE BALANCE 

WHITE BALANCE has 4 modes for selection. Each mode uses the 

electronic shutter differently and is suitable for a specific environment. 

ATW Xtnd - Extended auto white balance range - use this setting for 

scenes that may have an extremely wide range of color temperatures. 

ATW Normal - Selects a normal auto white balance range for general 

operation. If necessary, the range is configurable with low limit (to help 

with reds) and high limit (to help with blues) adjustments. 

AWB - Save or cancel AWB and all changes. 

MANUAL - Allows manual setting of the image's color temperature. 

This can be achieved by using the Kelvin option, by the method 

familiar to the installer. This setting is also good for static environment 

applications where the lighting conditions never change, such as in 

indoor hallways. 

VIEWING 

MIRROR - This mode reverses the top and bottom sides of the linear. 

GAMMA MODE - Select appropriate gamma mode for type of display. 

Gamma correction compensates for a non linear grayscale in a display 

device or to create non-standard luminance. 

MANUAL - Manual Gamma may be used to enhance detail in low light 

areas of an image which would normally not be visible with highlights 

present in the image. 

SHARPNESS - Adjusts overall image sharpness. 

SATURATION - Adjusts overall color content of the image. 

SETUP 

IRIS- DC GAIN - Adjusts the iris control gain when using a DC iris. 

AI THRESH - Adjusts the threshold at which the automatic iris 

becomes active. 

DAY/NIGHT SETUP - Day/Night operation. This feature may be used 

to improve low light performance by reducing noise from the video 

signal or force the camera into night mode regardless of lighting 

conditions. 

SAVE/RESTORE 

RESTORE USER SETTINGS - This will undo any changes made 

since the last time the settings were saved. 

SAVE USER SETTINGS - Save any programming changes to ensure 

they are retained after power loss or reset. If changes are not saved, 

the camera will revert to the previous settings on power-up. 

RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS - Restore camera settings to factory 

default - full reset, all previous programming will be lost including the 

video standard, which will default to NTSC. 

RESET CAMERA - This is a soft reset and has the same effect as 

cycling the camera power. 

SYSTEM INFO - Displays the camera firmware version.
