Image Flip
You can flip the image in the Video mode window horizontally and/or vertically. Check
the corresponding boxes in the Flip Image section of the Device Settings window.
Using the flip controls, you can rotate the image without changing the camera position
itself.
Increasing Image Quality
You can increase the image quality by compensating the random noise of the sensor.
For this purpose, use the
Average Frames controls in the Device Settings window.
There are two averaging modes:
●
Last N frames : the currently displayed frame is the average of the last N frames set in
the Frames box. The picture is updating every frame
●
Pack N Frames : the currently displayed frame is the average of the last N frames set
in the Frames box. The picture is updating every N-th frame.
Note Use the averaging only for static pictures. Displaying moving objects in the average mode will lead to the image
blurring.
Frame Rate
You can change the frame rate for the current sensor parameters (for example,
frequency or viewport) using the
FrameRate Control button in the lower part of the
Device Settings window.
To change frame rate:
1 Open the Device Settings window by pressing Alt+s on the keyboard.
2 Press the FrameRate Control button.
