D3PWD211 – Wide Dynamic Range Camera Settings & Functions, Cont’d
Setting Name Setting Values Default Setting Description
AWG………………………………….. Manually set the white level by pointing the camera at a
white surface (wall, paper) and selecting the Save
option. The color temperature will be written to ROM
(memory) and will remain constant until the user saves
over that value.
Manual………………………………….. Allows the user to adjust the red/blue color composition
of the image. Move the red/blue sliders left and right to
increase or decrease the red or blue elements in the
image. Red default = -18, Blue default = 13.
AE PREFs……….. Highlight / Shadow……… Highlight………. Optimize the exposure when high dynamic range light
is detected.
Highlight………………………………. Optimizes scene for highlights. Bright parts of the
image are most visible, and dark parts of the image
appear darkest.
Shadow………………………………….. Optimizes scene for shadows. Dark parts of the image
are most visible. Light parts of the image may saturate.
Gain Setup………. High / Med / Low / Cust…. Medium……….. Higher Gain values provide brighter images. Custom
details below.
Custom………………………………….. Manually set Bias (increase or decrease in brightness)
and Limit (bias only increases to a certain value).
Low Light……….. Gain / Slow Shutter…....... Slow Shutter…. Sets how the camera reacts to low light conditions.
Details below.
Gain Mode………………………………. Gain increases as light decreases up to the value
defined by Limit in the Gain Setup submenu. The
dynamic range is not decreased as gain increases, the
signal and noise are both amplified. The higher the
gain, the noisier the image. In Gain Mode there is no
motion blurring.
Slow Shutter Mode……………………….. The camera uses a combination of increasing Gain and
slowing the shutter speed to compensate for decreased
light levels. Set the Shutter Speed limit to x2, x4, x8,
x16, x32. “ x2” means the shutter speed is half the
normal rate. For example, if the shutter speed is 1/60,
the x2 setting will reduce the shutter speed to 1/30.
Slowing the shutter speed can improve the image, but
motion blurring can occur.
Advanced Setup
Zone Exposure……………………………………………… Many installations include multiple light sources or
unusual lighting conditions. The camera can uses meter
zones to manage the image. A light or color reference
can be set which forces the camera to adjust the rest of
the image based on that reference.
Meter Mode…… Foreground / Background……………….… Selects either the Foreground or Background for
metering exposure, white balance, and dynamic range.
In foreground mode, the camera analyzes both
brightness and color elements in the meter zone, then it
adjust these elements throughout the entire image. In
background mode, the camera analyzes the light levels
in the meter zone, then it enhances the detail for
backlight objects that would otherwise appear as
silhouettes.
