Digital Eye Technology Control

Zoom

Channel 12 and 13 provide 16-bit control of the camera Zoom function. The Zoom includes 18× optical and 12× digital zoom (216× combined). Adjust Zoom from In (DMX value = 0) to Out (DMX value = 65535)

Focus

Channel 14 and 15 provide 16-bit control of the camera Focus function. Auto focus is active at DMX values = 0–511. Set Manual focus from In (Far End) value = 512 to Out (Near End) value = 65535.

IR Illuminator

DL.1 fixtures with Digital Eye Technology are equipped with an illuminator that can output infrared (IR) light. Channel 16 controls both the IR illuminator output and the camera’s infrared sensing option. DMX values = 0 – 63 are the default with illuminator off and the camera set to sense the visible light spectrum. From DMXvalues =64–127, the Illuminator remains off , but the camera’s Auto IR function is ON detecting ambient infrared light in the environment. The rest of the range turns the Auto adjustment off and adjusts the amount of IR illuminator output from FULL (DMX value = 128) to OFF (DMX value = 255).

Shutter

Digital Eye Technology can create slow-motion and choppy-frame effects using the camera shutter options. Channel 17 controls the camera shutter providing six steps of frame rate control from 1 to 30 frames/second. DMX values = 0 – 63 set Full Auto Exposure and is the default option.

White Balance

Channel 18 adjusts for the variation in what is perceived as “White” in different light conditions. The Auto White Balance mode computes the white balance value output using color information from the entire screen. It outputs the proper value using the color temperature on a range of values from 3000 to 7500K and is the default setting. Other settings for this Parameter accommodate Indoor and Outdoor lighting conditions.

Orientation

Digital Eye Technology can Vertically Invert (Flip) or Horizontally Invert (Mirror) the image being viewed by the camera. Channel 19 controls the Orientation parameter. All four combinations of Vertical and Horizontal Invert are available.

Effects

Digitial Eye Technology can convert an image to black and white (B&W), or can invert the color (Negative art). A snapshot can also be taken of the image (Freeze Frame) with or without one of these effects applied. Channel 20 controls the Effects parameter.
