Audio/Video Windows

		Table 3-8	Video Window Options (continued)
		Option		Description
		Preset		Choose one the following preset white balance modes from the Preset
				drop-down list:
				• Normal—Suitable for most conditions that do not have special lighting
				• Indoor—Suitable for indoor conditions when the Normal setting does
				not provide a clear image
				• Fluorescent—Suitable for indoor conditions with fluorescent lighting
				• Outdoor—Suitable for outdoor conditions
				The default setting is Normal.
		Brightness		Select a positive value to increase the brightness of the video from the IP
				camera or select a negative value to decrease the brightness. For example, if
				the IP camera is facing a bright light and the video appears too dark, you can
				increase the brightness.
				The default value is Normal, which is suitable for most conditions.
		Sharpness		Select a positive value to increase the sharpness of the video from the IP
				camera or select a negative value to decrease the sharpness.
				The default value is Normal, which is suitable for most conditions.
		Contrast		Select a positive value to increase the contrast of the video from the IP
				camera or select a negative value to decrease the contrast.
				The default value is Normal, which is suitable for most conditions.
		Saturation		Select a positive value to increase the saturation of the video from the IP
				camera or select a negative value to decrease the saturation.
				High saturation provides a vivid, intense color for a video image. With less
				saturation, the video image appears more muted and gray.
				The default value is Normal, which is suitable for most conditions.
		Frame Repeat Count		Designates how video output from the IP camera displays. The IP camera
				generates two independent fields (odd and even) for each video capture,
				which occur 60 times per second for NTSC or 50 times per second for PAL.
				When Frame Repeat Count is set to 1, the IP camera combines one odd and
				one even field to compose a video frame. When Frame Repeat Count is set
				to 2, the IP camera uses one of the fields two times to compose a video frame.
				A setting of 1 provides smoother video. It is designed for software that can
				display interlaced video.
				The default value is 2.
		Options
		Enable Time Stamp		Check this check box to display the time from the internal clock of the IP
				camera as an overlay on the video image from the IP camera.
		Enable Text Display		Check this check box to display designated text as an overlay on the video
				image from the IP camera, and enter alphanumeric text of up to 20
				characters.
				This option can be useful for identifying this IP camera in an installation
				with several IP cameras.
