NOTE:
Brightness and contrast settings are closely related. In order to achieve the best
possible viewing experience it may be necessary to try different combinations of brightness and
contrast settings.
CE Level
Changes Contrast Enhancement level between 0 and 12.
NOTE:
The contrast enhancement level represents a tradeoff between image dynamic range
and contrast. Higher enhancement level makes smaller emittance differences more discernable
but reduces the visible dynamic range.
Sharpness
Changes image Sharpness between 0 and 4.
NOTE:
Live imagery can be enhanced by either sharpening or introducing slight blurring.
0:
Introduces slight imagery blurring.
1:
Leaves imagery as is.
2
– 4:
Introduces progressive level
of sharpening.
Colorization
Turns on (
Yes
) or off (
No
) color enhanced imagery when switching polarity with Switch (4)
(
MENU / Polarity
) in Normal Mode.
NOTE:
Instead of an image ranging between black and white to represent different infrared
emittance levels, there is a “false color” option to instead have an imagery that ranges from blue
to red. In all settings, blue represents black and red represents white.
Edge Detection
Turns on (
Yes
) or off (
No
) Edge Detection mode when switching polarity with Switch (4) (
MENU
/ Polarity
) in Normal Mode.
NOTE:
In Edge Detection mode the ATLAS outlines regions of the image with similar infrared
emittance named “edge”. The Edge Detection mode does not allow switching between White-
Hot and Black-Hot modes, and displays the majority of the image as black and outlines similar
emittance regions in white.
