AGC
This slider will adjust the Automatic Gain Control.
AGC
is the auto-
matic adjustment of the amplitude of a video signal. This adjustment
will either brighten (raise) or darken (lower) the image’s amplitude to
conform it to a pre-specified target value for proper image quality.
Note: By boosting the
AGC
, any video noise will also increase since you
are boosting the whole video signal, including the noise.
Shutter Speed
This slider will adjust the Shutter Speed from
1
/
60
–
1
/
10,000
of a
second. The shutter speed is the length of time the
VC-C3
activates the
CCD
in the camera head. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the
CCD
is active (virtual shutter) is left open, the more image data and
light is allowed into the camera.
