Chapter 4: Phantom Software

PCC provides the ability to select various units
for specific camera parameters by clicking the
‘Preference’ button at the bottom Manager tab.
Units can be set to commonly used values
(‘Presets’) or they can be customized using the
pull-down selection lists. First time user should use
one of the three ‘Presets’.
The ‘Exp’ unit is probably the most important unit
to be set. It specifies what unit to use when setting
the exposure time. The other two units are EDR
(Extreme Dynamic Range™) and PTF (Post Trigger
Frames). All of these settings will be covered later
in this section.
Double-click the camera to be controlled listed
in the Manager tab, select the camera from the
‘Camera’ pull-down list in the Live tab.
Camera Control via PCC
Selecting a Camera
Multiple cameras, if available, will be
displayed in the Manager tab and the Live
tab ‘Camera’ pull-down list.
Once a camera is selected a ‘Preview’ panel will
display to the left of the control tabs showing the
current image being captured by the camera. This
image may differ slightly to that of the image being
output over the camera’s HD-SDI port due to display
differences in the video monitor and computer
screens.
You can adjust the display options by clicking on the
‘Image Tools’ toolbar button.
