Image Size

The height and width of the overlay image in

Windows 4-bit BMP (16 colors)

pixels must be exactly divisible by 4.

 

 

 

 

Overlay image requirements:

•The maximum overlay image size supported by the AXIS 212 PTZ is the same as the maximum image resolu- tion. See Technical Specifications, on page 45.

•When a text overlay is also used, this reduces the amount of space available to the overlay image. To keep the text readable at lower resolutions, the text overlay occupies proportionally more and more space, i.e., 16 pixels in height at 640x480, 32 pixels at 320x240 and 64 pixels at 160x120.

•If the overlay is initially positioned so that part of it is outside the video image, it will be relocated so that it appears over the video image, i.e. it is always the entire image that is displayed.

Please see the online help for more information.

Lighting Conditions

To optimize the lighting settings according to your requirements, modify the following settings:

•Color level - Select color or B/W

•Brightness - This can be adjusted in the range 0-100

•Sharpness - Controls the amount of sharpening applied to the image

•Exposure control - This setting is used to adapt to the amount/type of light being used

Low Light Behavior

Exposure priority - This defines the balance between image quality and the frame rate. Higher image quality may reduce frame rate and increase motion blur. A prioritized frame rate may instead increase image noise. Depending on requirements, use this to give higher priority to the image quality or to the frame rate.

Please see the online help for more information on these settings.
