DefectPixelThreshold
: Sets the threshold for dynamic defective pixel correction. The
sensitivity increases as the value decreases.
HotPixelCorrection
: Provides the following modes of correction:
•
Static
: corrects hot pixels using a factory or user-supplied table of hot pixel
locations.
•
Dynamic
: corrects hot pixels on the fly (dynamically) based on a user-defined
threshold.
•
Both
: applies both Static and dynamic hot pixel correction.
HotPixelThreshold
: Sets the threshold for dynamic hot pixel correction. The sensitivity of
the correction increases as the value decreases.
4.7.8 White Balance Controls
White balance compensates for differences in the color temperature of light sources. The
IpxPlayer enables color adjustments that preserve the original color and make white
objects appear white (5.12.1 White Balance Correction).
Figure 24: White balance parameter.
BalanceWhiteAuto
: Enables selecting the white balance mode and the following options:
Off, Once, Auto, or Continuous. In Continuous mode, the camera automatically computes
the red, green, and blue coefficients to achieve good color reproduction. In manual mode,
you define the coefficients.
RedCoefficient
: This register contains the white balance correction coefficients for Red
used in manual mode. In manual mode, you enter the value. In Once or Auto modes, the
camera returns the actual (calculated) coefficient. Coefficient values range from 0.000 (0
Hex) to +15.996 (FFF Hex) in steps of 0.004 (4096 steps).
GreenCoefficient
: This register contains the white balance correction coefficients for
Green in manual mode. In manual mode, you enter the value. In Once or Auto modes, the
camera returns the actual (calculated) coefficient. Coefficient values range from 0.000 (0
Hex) to +15.996 (FFF Hex) in steps of 0.004 (4096 steps).
BlueCoefficient
: This register contains the white balance correction coefficients for Blue in
manual mode. In manual mode, you enter the value. In Once or Auto modes, the camera
returns the actual (calculated) coefficient. Coefficient values range from 0.000 (0 Hex) to
+15.996 (FFF Hex) in steps of 0.004 (4096 steps).
AutoTrackingSpeed
: The camera will automatically track the scene and adjust white
balance according to five different tracking rates, x1
–
x5 (x1 is slowest; x5 is fastest
update rate).
