COLOR Button
Short Press
Pressing the COLOR button switches the thermal camera video display. The way
the button works depends on the setting of Enable (Disable) Color Thermal Video
(see page 34).
•
When Color Thermal Video is disabled, pressing the COLOR button lets you
choose between white/black or red/black display options.
•
When Color Thermal Video is enabled, pressing the COLOR button cycles
through five preset color palettes.
The default color scheme is red/black since the equipment is often used at night
in the darkness and the red-hot image can help preserve the user’s night vision.
Based on personal preferences, one of the other color settings (or color palettes)
may be chosen as a default.
Note:
The USER button is configured to invert the video polarity setting by
default, so it changes the infrared imagery from white-hot (red-hot) to black-hot.
Long Press
Press and hold the COLOR button to calibrate the thermal cameras, also called
flat field correction. This process can improve the quality of the thermal image by
recalibrating a more uniform output.
HOME Button
Short Press
A short press of the HOME button moves the camera to its home position. The
home position is a programmable preset position—by default, straight ahead and
level with the horizon—that operators can use as a reference. Home is the
position the camera will most likely be in when it is in use.
Long Press
Pressing and holding the HOME button sets the home position. First use the
puck to point the camera’s line of sight to the position you want to set as home.
Press and hold the HOME button for 3 seconds; the home symbol will flash on
the screen when the new home position is set. When you want to move the
camera to this position, press and release the HOME button. When you press the
HOME button, the home icon appears on the screen briefly.
The home position is not the same as the stow position. The home position is the
position the camera will most likely be in when it is in use. The stow position is
the preferred position when the camera is not in use, for protecting the camera
optics. Both positions are programmable by the use—the home position through
the HOME button and the stow position using the on-screen menus.
