Black and White selection sets, respectively, black print on a white background, or white print on a black background.

If “Time Information” is enabled, the currently stored VersaCam date and time (to within 1/100 second) are transmitted with each image in the form MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS:ss.

If “Channel Information” is enabled, the date/time stamp will be preceded by “CH#n” where ‘n’ is the currently selected video channel. For the IC-360 model, there is only one video channel available, so this has no real use.

If the “User Defined String” is enabled, the string specified will follow the date/time stamp. The maximum string length is somewhat variable as it is limited by the physical space available and the fact that a proportional font is used wherein each character takes can occupy a different amount of lateral space.

QBOX View Control: If the administrator or user wants to see only a particular area of interest within the whole image, the QBOX (Quality Box) feature may be enabled. With a certain area of the image defined as the current QBOX, the image outside this high-quality area is set to reduced contrast. Because such low-contrast areas are highly compressible (more so if the quality of this low-contrast perimeter area is set closer to “1” by the “Ambient Level” control – see below) the QBOX feature can improve image transmission speeds substantially. This and all other subsequent controls listed below are accessed by pressing the right mouse button with the cursor placed over the image viewing area of the screen. These are default settings and may be modified by users with the consent of the administrator.

QBOX Parameters: The administrator sets up the QBOX area with a mouse using ‘click and drag’ (clicking one corner, holding down the left mouse button, and dragging the cursor until the desired rectangle is defined). The selected area coordinates are then shown as the ‘Left Top Placement’ and ‘Right Bottom Placement’ panels in the menu. Using the ‘Ambient Level’ menu, the administrator may set the quality level of the low-contrast area (outside the QBOX) in the image. There are 5 levels. The administrator may set the level to 5 (lowest contrast), which may increase image transmission speed, or to level 1 (highest contrast), which may slow down transmission speed.

Focus Sensitivity: The administrator selects a default sensitivity for auto-focus of the IC-360 system. If the user enables “auto-focus” from the Pan/Tilt/Zoom menu, the VersaCam will attempt to focus the image automatically in response to a zoom change or change in distance to the object when the camera position is moved. The level of focal sharpness (0 is least, 9 is most) desired can be adjusted here.

Image Quality Level: The administrator selects a default image quality level from 0 to 9. If level 9 is chosen, the VersaCam will send the highest quality image by employing a lesser degree of image compression to the transmitted file. However, transmission speed will be reduced because of larger file size. The image level inside the QBOX is the same level as is selected in this menu.
