AUTO IRIS
Auto iris is the lens function that automatically opens and closes the iris in response to changing
light conditions.
Program the auto iris to operate automatically or at a user-defined level.
OFF Auto iris is disabled, and control is always manual.
AUTO (default) The iris is adjusted automatically to produce a constant video output as
determined by the Auto Iris Level setting.
NOTE:
If auto iris is in the auto mode, it will remain that way until the iris is manually opened or
closed. The system will return to auto mode when it is panned or tilted more than 15 degrees.

Auto Iris Level

Auto iris level is the numeric value the auto iris uses to maintain the brightness level of the camera.
Increase the value to brighten the scene. Decrease the level to darken the scene. This setting can be
adjusted if the video level in the auto iris mode is too bright or too dark.
NOTE:
If backlight compensation is ON, decrease the Auto Iris Level setting.

Auto Iris Peak

Increasing the peak value will cause the auto iris circuit to react more to highlights or “peaks” in the
picture. Decreasing this value will cause it to use the average video level to adjust the iris.
AUTO SHARPNESS
Auto sharpness enhances picture detail by increasing the aperture gain of the camera and
sharpening the edges in the picture.
There are two settings:
ON (default) The camera automatically maintains a normal sharpness mode.
OFF The sharpness of the picture is set manually by programming the sharpness
level. Sharpness level settings range from 0-63.
AUTO WHITE BALANCE
This feature automatically processes the viewed image to retain color balance over a color
temperature range. The default setting for auto white balance is ON.
R GAIN Adjusts the picture output in the red range. As you change the value, you will
see the color change on your monitor.
B GAIN Adjusts the picture output in the blue range. As you change the value, you will
see the color change on your monitor.
