5 Demo mode Select 'Demo mode' to see a 'live preview' video image on your monitor so you can see the effect of the adjustment on your screen.The lower part of the screen will be split in two halfs; on the left you see the current picture, on the right you see the enhanced picture. In order to see the 'live preview', you need to have an image beforehand (for instance created with WebCam Companion, refer to 6.1 'WebCam Companion'). 6 Full automatic control: on/off This full automatic control mode provides a very easy way to get the best out of your Philips SPC2050NC WebCam. Or you can choose to have maximum manual control over the WebCam settings by switching the full automatic control mode off. Full automatic control 'on' is the preferred setting for normal use. Techniques active within full automatic control mode are: • Automatic exposure control and automatic white balance control, to provide the best video source signal possible; • Automatic frame rate selection for improved WebCam sensitivity in low light conditions. 10 Save Press this button if you would like to save your personal preferred settings. 11 Auto Exposure The exposure is the amount of light received by the sensor and is determined by how long the sensor is exposed to capture a snapshot or video frame.The result depends on the sensitivity of the sensor.The WebCam will find the optimal setting if you select the automatic exposure option. Shutter speed The shutter speed determines how long the camera shutter remains open as a picture is taken.The slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time.The shutter speed controls the total amount of light reaching the sensor. Use the slider to set the desired shutter speed. Gain In video, gain is the amount of white in a video picture. Use the slider to set the desired gain level. 12 Auto White Balance Most light sources are not 100% pure white but have a certain 'color temperature'. Normally our eyes compensate for lighting conditions with different color temperatures. 7 Frame rate You can use the scroll open menu to set the frame rate of the video you wish to capture. E.g. 30 fps means that the WebCam will capture video at 30 frames per second. 8 Reset Press this button if you would like to reset the WebCam settings to the default factory settings. 9 Restore Press this button if you would like to restore your personal preferred settings. If the automatic white balance is selected, the WebCam will look for a reference point which represents white. It will then calculate all other colors based on this white point and compensate the other colors accordingly, just like the human eye. 13 Brightness Brightness enables you to adjust the brightness of the displayed image or video to suit your own preference. Use the slider to find your preferred setting. WebCam settings 14
