Initial Settings
Start video from the camera using the Start Video button on the camera application’s
toolbar:
The illumination of the camera’s image depends on the values of frequency, exposure,
gain and the image dimensions (resolution).
The recommended initial settings are:
●
Gain is set to 0 and Exposure slider is in the highest position
●
Output Mode is set to 8 bit or 8 bits compress if you will view video on display
●
Viewport size is maximum ( Settings box > General tab > Viewport section)
●
For color camera, Color Mode is set to Bilinear ( Settings box > Advanced tab >
Debayer algorithm section)
●
Frequency is set to the required value depending on the frame rate you want to
achieve: the higher the frequency, the greater the frame rate is.
●
Histogram is active ( Main menu >Device > Histogram is selected or h is pressed)
