Initial Lighting and Color Settings

AMERA PAGE
No two rooms are exactly alike – but a lot of rooms are a lot alike. The technical folks at Vaddio (Scott, to
be specific) have already set up adjustments for common lighting scenarios (CCU scenes) – Incandescent
Hi, Incandescent Lo, Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo, and Outdoor. The Auto setting allows the camera to
determine the appropriate adjustments.
Adjust the camera for the lighting in use by selecting the CCU scene that best fits your environment.
Some adjustments to lighting and color may be necessary.
Note
Color adjustments are not available when the Auto scene is selected.

The camera provides settings to compensate for common lighting problems.
n
Auto Iris
allows the camera to compensate automatically for the light level.
n
Backlight Compensation
reduces contrast to adjust for bright light behind the main subject of the
shot. Use this if the subject is in front of a window, projector screen, or other bright area and appears as
a silhouette. This setting can't be used with Wide Dynamic Range.
n
Wide Dynamic Range
automatically darkens bright areas and brightens dark areas to provide a more
properly exposed image in challenging lighting conditions. This setting can't be used with Backlight
Compensation.

Fine-Tuning Image Quality and Color

AMERA PAGE
Fine-tune the color and lighting as needed using the Color Settings controls.
n
Auto White Balance
adjusts color automatically. Red gain and blue gain controls are not available
when Auto White Balance is selected.
n
Red Gain
and
Blue Gain
provide manual color adjustment.
n
Detail
adjusts the image sharpness. If the video looks grainy or “noisy,” try a lower Detail setting. (As in
conversation, too much detail is bad.)
n
Chroma
adjusts the color intensity.
n
Gamma
adjusts the range (grey density) between bright areas and shadows.
If you change Red Gain or Blue Gain and you don't like the results, start over by selecting and then
deselecting Auto White Balance.
