integration time of the sensor significantly increases the camera sensitivity, but also significantly increase motion
blur. Setting the Min Value to “Off” prevents the camera from entering the long term integration mode, and is the
recommended mode for most applications.
Max AGC: This section is only active when the Shutter mode is in Auto. The Max AGC set the maximum gain
level that the automatic algorithms will apply to the video image. The AGC range is from 10 dB through 36dB. In-
creasing the Max AGC will increase camera sensitivity, but will also increase the gain noise present in the video
image. The recommended Max AGC setting is 28dB.
Manual Gain: This section active when the Shutter mode is NOT in Auto. It defines the amount of gain that is
applied to the video image. This gain level is fixed and does not change when the scene illumination changes.
The manual gain range is from 1 dB through 36dB.
2.2.3.3.3 White Balance
Auto: The camera will automatically compensate for changing lighting conditions in order to maintain correct
color reproduction, especially during the transition from day to night or from night to day.
Manual: Prevents the white balance from compensating for changing lighting conditions, and allows the operator
to manually change the red and blue levels for a specific lighting condition.
Backlight Compensation
A bright background can cause the automatic exposure control to make a darker area of the scene too dark.
When the dark area of the scene is more important than the bright area, enabling Backlight Compensation will
alter the automatic exposure control by placing less emphasis on the bright area, and more emphasis on the
darker areas.
2.2.3.3.4 Anti-Flicker Mode
Use this function to reduce flicker in the image caused by fluorescent lighting .
50Hz: Check the button to remove flicker in a 50Hz environment.
60Hz: Check the button to remove flicker in a 60Hz environment.
2.2.3.3.5 Imaging Settings
Image appearance can be adjusted in the range of 0-100 by moving Brightness, Sharpness, Contrast, Satu-
ration, and Hue sliders left or right. The ideal settings will vary from scene to scene, as well as with changing
lighting conditions. Because of this constant variability, the Imaging Settings are not stored included as part of a
preset position. The default values have been selected to provide the best overall performance.
Brightness and Contrast: In addition to being very scene dependent, the Brightness and Contrast controls are
also interactive. Changing one function typically requires changing the other. The most common method of ad-
justing the Brightness and Contrast settings are to adjust the Brightness so that black picture content displays
as true black on your monitor, and then adjusting the Contrast for comfortable viewing brightness.
Sharpness: Increasing the Sharpness level above the default value can enhance the edge details within an im-
age, but can bring out intrascene artifacts that otherwise would not be noticeable. Lowering the Sharpness level
can soften the appearance of the image, but will sacrifice the image detail.
Saturation: Determines the color intensity of the image. Increasing the saturation level will make the colors
brighter and more vivid than they actually are, while decreasing the Saturation will have the opposite effect.
Decreasing the Saturation level to zero will produce a monochrome image.
Hue: Adjusting the Hue alters the mixture of the red, green and blue within an image, while having minimal im-
pact on whites. Increasing the Hue level shifts blues towards green and greens towards orange. Decreasing the
Hue level shifts red towards orange and green towards blue.
Default and Save Settings
•
Default: Restores the settings to the factory settings, but does not save or apply them.
•
Save: Stores current settings permanently.
