Pelco C2943M manual SW1-1 Video Format

SW1-1 Video Format

SW1-1 is controlled through the on-screen menu.

SW1-2 Line Sync

When multiple cameras are connected to the same switching device, vertical roll can occur on the monitor. AC line lock eliminates vertical roll by locking the frame rate to the power supply frequency. Each camera output is synchronized to the power supply frequency.

Internal line sync disables line lock and synchronizes cameras internally.

Set SW1-2 to OFF to use AC line lock. Set it to ON to use internal line sync. The default setting is OFF.

SW1-3 Interlaced Scanning/Progressive Scanning

SW1-3 is controlled through the on-screen menu.

SW1-4 Auto White Balance/Manual White Balance

Auto white balance (AWB) is enabled by default (OFF).

To manually set and lock the white balance:

1.Set SW1-4 to ON.

2.Hold a white background in front of the lens until the video shows all white.

3.While holding the background in place, set SW1-4 to OFF. A green block and a white block alternate briefly on the video image until the manual white balance (MWB) process is complete.

SW1-5 Fluorescent/General

Enable this option to adjust the camera for the best operation under fluorescent lighting.

Set SW1-5 to OFF for fluorescent lighting. Set it to ON for general lighting. The default setting is ON.

NOTE: If you use fluorescent operation, you should use AC line lock for best results.

SW1-6 General WDR/Maximum WDR

Maximum WDR supports approximately 36 dB of additional dynamic range over a standard camera. Use it for installations that require the maximum WDR.

General WDR supports approximately 20 dB of additional dynamic range over a standard camera. Use it for installations that do not require the maximum WDR.
