Description
Optical Zoom 1x-10x optical zoom. In standard W10x-HD camera, the horizontal angle of
view is approximately 45 degrees at 1x and 4.5 degrees at 10x.
Sharpness
Adjusts enhancement of edges of the objects in the picture.
Brightness
Gain (electronic amplification of the video signal) and iris (mechanical
aperture of the lens system) is adjusted using an internal algorithm.
Exposure time of the camera is controlled by adding Gain when the object
is dark or its illumination level is low and by decreasing the aperture of iris
when object is bright or illumination intensity is high. When
Auto
is
selected, Gain and iris of the camera are automatically adjusted.
Bright/Iris
Level
Offsets the internal reference brightness level +/- 7 steps with 1 step
resolution. Each step corresponds to increase/decrease of the Gain by
1.5dB.
When
Iris
is enabled iris can be controlled from F1.8 to F26. Higher F-
number will increase depth of focus. Lower F-number will increase light
sensitivity.
Focus
When
Auto
is selected, focus position is automatically adjusted to the high
frequency content of the picture in a centre measurement area, taking into
consideration the high luminance and strong contrast components. If
camera cannot focus automatically user should focus manually or readjust
Brightness.
Night Vision
Manual
ON
button enables/disables the Night Vision mode and sets the
picture to black and white. At Night Vision mode the built-in near infrared
cut-off filter is removed from optical system of the camera. The camera
becomes therefore sensitive to near infrared light (?: 680-980 nm).
Freeze
Freezes the live picture
