2. Use the first menu option to adjust the vertical sync of each camera under the supervision of a Vicon
Technical Support representative.
3. Show Image Rate is useful to see the image rates for each board in the system. The upper left corner of
the main display monitor will show three numbers separated by dashes. For Live or Record modes, the
first number is the number of images per second processed from the main board. The second number is
the number of images recorded to hard disk if recording or loopback mode is active. The third number is
the number of images being played back. “NNN” is the number of images per second multiplied by 10 for
this window. For example, NNN of 125 is 12.5 images per second.
4. Switch Delay is the number of milliseconds of delay used when switching either the main or the record
board’s video input from one camera to the next. A longer value will stop any missing color or video
tearing type problems, but will reduce the image update rate. You shouldn’t need to change these values.
5. Main, Option 1 and Option 2 Image Rate shows the current images per second being captured for the
Main Display from each of the 3 input digital processing channels.

Calibrating Cameras
You may need to calibrate your cameras, adjust the gain manually or manually set the camera type. You will
typically do this under the supervision of Vicon Technical Support [1-800-34-VICON (1-800-348-4266)] if you
see a rolling picture or other problems.
