Presets for artificial lighting conditions

The alternating light amplitude may cause flickering in at the Triple Scan output. There are 5 presets to accommodate different artificial lighting conditions.

There are two ways to set the lighting presets; The camera systems menu and the MCP (Master Control Panel). The camera systems submenu Install \ Lighting contains the item Advanced. Set the Advanced item to the required preset to accommodate the artificial lighting condition. The MCP (Master Control Panel) gives access to the preset settings. Consult the Operator's Manual of your MCP as required for detailed information how to set these presets.

Use the 5 presets are tuning the high speed camera to accommodate 5 gradations of lighting conditions as follows:

Optimal

Optimal (Opt) is the default preset. This preset is used in daylight and in non-alternating or high-frequency artificial lighted environments. Each field has the same video level and Flicker reduction is not necessarily.

Good

Use the Good (Goo) preset in artificial lighting conditions with minor amplitude changes. Examples are enviroments lighted with incandescent or well- balanced 3-phase light. Use also this preset in daylight if aditional artificial light with an alternating effect is used.

Fair

The Fair (Fai) preset is used in artificial light conditions with significant light amplitude changes. For example, fluorescent lighted enviroments.

Poor

This preset (Poo) is used with artificial light, which has a major light amplitude change. Examples are enviroments lighted with HMI, MHD, gas discharge lamps or neon light.

Switching to the Poor preset results in a almost flicker free picture. In most cases this will be the preset to start with if flicker is visable in the Optimal preset. Fine- tune the light accommodation by switching to the Poor or Fair presets if other artifacts become noticeable.

Extreme

This preset (Ext) results in a 100% flicker free picture with an increased amount of motion blur. Use only this setting in lighting conditions with extreme light amplitudes. This preset activates a flicker reduction technique different from technique used in the Good, Fair and Poor presets. It's drawback is that is has an increased amount of motion blur.

Note

For fundamental reasons, it is not recommended that a PAL camera (50Hz) is used in conjunction with 60Hz lighting. Similarly, it is not recommended that an NTSC camera (60Hz) is used in conjunction with 50Hz lighting.
