OSD Setup
Lens/Auto Iris
An Auto Iris lens is a lens in which the aperture automatically opens or
closes to maintain the proper light levels. This feature can be used to adjust
operation of the lens and how it responds to light. Once in manual mode, you
can choose to open or close the iris, as well as adjust the speed, if you have
controlled lighting conditions.
Shutter/AGC
The following modes are available in High Luminanc e: Shutter + Auto
Iris, or Auto Iris only. For Low Luminance, you can choose the following: On
(AGC on) or Off (AGC off) You may also adjust brightness from x0.25 to x1.00.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) is an electronic circuit designed for
automatically controlling amplifier gain in order to maintain a constant
output voltage with a varying input voltage within a predetermined range of
input-to-output variation. AGC is generally best utilized in an indoor room
that has a lower light level than the other rooms in the building or when
light cannot be increased enough for a good usable picture. AGC should be set
to off first. However, it can be activated after the iris is adjusted.
White Bal
Select to change white balance mode. In this menu you may change the speed,
delay, and adjust ATW frame from x1.00 to x2.00. In this menu, you may also
manually select the environment mode from indoor to outdoor. This controls the
color balance of the camera.
Backlight
Select t to adjust backlight. In this menu you may change the mode HLC to
BLC. HLC stands for High Light Compensation, and it has the ability to reverse
bright points in the picture to black. HLC improves the ability of the entire
system to display shades of grey elsewhere in the picture. BLC stands for Back
Light Compensation, and automatically adjusts picture brightness depending on
lighting conditions. This helps overcome strong backlighting which normally
results in silhouettes or shadows. BLC can help correct the exposure of
subjects that are in front of a bright light source.
Pict Adjust
Select to enter picture adjustment menu. In this menu you may mirror the
image, adjust the brightness, contrast, sharpness, hue and gain.
