On-Screen Menu
The on-screen menu appears when the MENU button is pressed. Menu entries
are selected using the joystick puck. Pressing the MENU button again removes
the menu from the screen.
Position Icon
The position indication shows the azimuth (direction) of the camera relative to the
vessel. The shaded triangle shows the approximate camera field of view (FOV).
JCU Icon
A single JCU icon indicates only one JCU is connected to the camera unit. If
more than one JCU is discovered, the multiple JCU icon appears.
PC Icon
The PC icon indicates that a PC on the network has a connection with the
camera. When you have integrated a PC into your network, you can manage the
camera settings from a page that displays in a Web browser, rather than using
the JCU. In some situations, this may be a more convenient way of controlling
the camera. Using this page is described in Chapter 5, "M-Series IP Interface
and PC Operations," on page 51.
SCENE Icons
Pressing the SCENE button cycles through four preset automatic gain control
(AGC) settings, which change the image gain and level
settings. Regardless of
the scene setting, the thermal camera automatically adjusts to the scene to
provide a balanced, high-quality image. However, you may prefer an image that
has more or less contrast than the default one provided, and the SCENE button
provides that type of fine adjustment.
Which setting you use depends on personal preference and environmental
conditions; you may like the way the Man Overboard setting looks, even though
you are running on open water during the daytime.
Rearview Icon
The rearview icon indicates the rearview mode option has been selected in the
System Settings menu. The rearview setting flips the video image horizontally left
to right. The image on the display provides the same perspective as a rear view
mirror in a vehicle; objects off the stern on the starboard side of the vessel are
displayed on the right hand side of the video. See page 40 for details on
configuring this setting.
Home Icon
The home icon appears momentarily to indicate the camera is in the home
position. The icon flashes when a new home position is set.
