Basic Functions White Balance White Balance has the following modes, all of which can be set using VISCA Commands. • Auto White Balance This mode computes the white balance value output using color information from the entire screen. It outputs the proper value using the color temperature radiating from a black subject based on a range of values from 3000 to 7500K. This mode is the factory setting. • ATW Auto Tracing White balance (2000 to 10000K) • Indoor 3200K Base Mode • Outdoor 5800K Base Mode • One Push WB The One Push White Balance mode is a fixed white balance mode that may be automatically readjusted only at the request of the user (One Push Trigger), assuming that a white subject, in correct lighting conditions, and occupying more than 1/2 of the image, is submitted to the camera. One Push White Balance data is lost when the power is turned off. If the power is turned off, reset One Push White Balance. • Manual WB Manual control of R and B gain, 256 steps each • Outdoor Auto This is an auto white balance mode specifically for outdoors. It allows you to capture images with natural white balance in the morning and evening. • Sodium Vapor Lamp Auto This is an auto white balance mode that is compatible with sodium vapor lamps. • Sodium Vapor Lamp This is a fixed white balance mode specifically for sodium vapor lamps. Note High-pressure sodium lamps are supported. Proper white balance may not be captured for some subjects when using low-pressure sodium lamps. Automatic Exposure Mode A variety of AE functions are available for optimal output of subjects in lighting conditions that range from low to high. • Full Auto Auto Iris and Gain, Fixed Shutter Speed • Gain Limit Setting The gain limit can be set at the Full Auto, Shutter Priority, Iris Priority, Bright, Spot Exposure and Manual in the AE mode. Use this setting when image signal-to-noise ratio is particularly important. • Shutter Priority 1) Variable Shutter Speed, Auto Iris and Gain (1/1 to 1/10,000 sec., 16 high-speed shutter speeds plus 6 low-speed shutter speeds) 1) Flicker can be eliminated by setting shutter to 1/100s for NTSC models used in countries with a 50 Hz power supply frequency 1/120s for PAL models used in countries with a 60 Hz power supply frequency • Iris Priority Variable Iris (F1.35 to Close, 16 steps), Auto Gain and Shutter speed • Manual Variable Shutter, Iris and Gain • Bright Variable Iris and Gain (Close to F1.35, 17 steps at 0 dB: F1.35, 15 steps from 0 to 28 dB) AE - Shutter priority The shutter speed can be set freely by the user to a total of 22 steps - 16 high speeds and 6 low speeds. When the slow shutter is set, the speed can be 1/30s, 1/15s, 1/8s, 1/4s, 1/2s, 1/1s. The picture output is read at a normal rate from the memory. The memory is updated at a low rate from the CMOS. AF capability is low. In high speed mode, the shutter speed can be set up to 1/10,000s. The iris and gain are set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject.
