Configuring Camera Performance
Set up the video experience you want:
n
Camera presets (different behavior for Low Latency mode and High Quality mode)
n
Speed adjustments (additional settings in High Quality mode)
n
Color and lighting adjustments (same settings in Low Latency mode and High Quality mode)
n
Auto-framing adjustments (High Quality mode only)
These settings and adjustments return to factory default settings when you change the camera’s latency
mode.
In the camera’s default Low Latency mode, it behaves as a fixed camera: It can zoom, but not pan or tilt.
Pan and tilt are available only in High Quality mode. Because of this,
n
Camera presets are zoom-only in Low Latency mode, but include pan and tilt information in High
Quality mode.
n
Zoom speed setting is available in both Low Latency mode and High Quality mode.
n
Pan and tilt speed settings are available only in High Quality mode.
n
Tri-Sync is only available in High Quality mode.
n
Auto-framing is only available in High Quality mode.
Note
Vaddio products are designed with very similar web interfaces. Some of the screen shots in this manual
may be from other cameras. Some may show settings that are not present or not enabled in your
camera.
How It Works: Digital Zoom
Zooming is available in both Low Latency mode and High Quality mode.
The lenses in a camera control how much of the room can be in the shot – the image area. Zooming in
optically makes the image area smaller by moving the lenses. Zooming in digitally makes the image area
smaller by using the pixels from a smaller portion of the image sensor. Either way, the effect is the same:
When the image area is smaller, everything in the shot looks bigger.
How it works: Digital Pan and Tilt
Digital pan and tilt are only available in High Quality mode.
Digital pan and tilt work when the camera is zoomed in. If some image area is available outside the shot,
the camera can pan and tilt by moving the image area to use pixels outside the current shot. As the
camera zooms in, the image area is a smaller part of the total field, so more pan and tilt is available. But if
the current shot uses all the pixels, there's no room to pan or tilt.

pans from the Mars globe to Dr. Sagan.
