PCC can use different units for certain camera parameters. If this is your first
time running PCC, select the units you wish to use by “Preferences” from
the “Tools” menu.The most important unit to set is “Exp,” which sets what
unit to use when setting the exposure time.You probably will want this set
to degrees.The other unit to set is PTF which stands for “PostTrigger Frames”.
We’ll cover what this is later in this section, but for now set it to “Percent.”
All the camera parameters that effect your shooting are set in the Live tab.
In order for the controls to be active, you must select the camera you want
to control from the “Camera:” pull-down menu. If you have multiple cameras
connected on the same network, they will all appear in the pull-down menu.
Controlling the Camera with PCC
The PVP software can either be launched directly from the desktop,
or by clicking the “Video Out” icon in the PCC software. All video output
functions, such as setting the video output format and parameters (gain,
gamma, etc.) as well as actually playing back a cine over the camera’s video
output are performed in the PVP software.
