Default switch positions shown (white represents switch position)

(1) Synchronization Selection (LL/INT)

This switch is used to select the camera synchronization mode. When the camera is connected to an AC power supply, the Line-lock (LL) mode can be used. This locks the camera frame rate to the power supply frequency so that cameras in a system are triggered at the same point on the power supply AC cycle. Also see 5, Line Lock Phase Adjustment Potentiometer.

(2) Backlight Compensation (BLC)

The BLC (Back Light Compensation) feature compensates for back-lit scenes by enhancing objects in the center of the scene which would previously have been in silhouette. Select ON or OFF using the BLC switch. Default is OFF. BLC will only function with a manual iris lens when the Electronic Iris facility is switched on. For direct drive and auto-iris lenses, BLC will still function even though the Electronic Iris is switched off.

(3) Gamma

Two different gamma correction options are available. Select Normal (0.45) to provide increased visibility in dark areas of the scene, or Linear (1.0). The default setting is Normal.
