Pelco C2944M-F (1/09) manual White Balance, Chroma, Gamma, Sharpness, Cable Compensation

WHITE BALANCE

The C10DN Series camera offers three white balance options. White balance settings define how the camera processes video images to render true colors in a scene. White balance is especially effective in scenes with changing color temperatures. Use it also in installations with incandescent, fluorescent, or outdoor lighting.

Select one of the following white balance modes:

AUTO: In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts the white balance based on the colors in the camera scene. The camera continually delivers the best possible image.

HOLD: Use this mode to calibrate the camera to the white balance in a neutral scene. This prevents dominant colors in the target scene from affecting white balance (refer to Manual White Balance Calibration on page 28 for more information).

INDOOR: Use this mode for indoor scenes. The white balance gain is set to approximately 2,800°K and does not change as the scene colors change.

CHROMA

BLUE HUE: Use this option to either increase or decrease the blue hue in the camera image. Select a value between -5 and 5; the default setting is 0 (zero).

GAMMA

Gamma correction adjusts the video signal to compensate for the nonlinear response of the monitor display. Select one of the following options: 60%(NORM) or 100%. The default setting depends on the selected profile (refer to Table E on page 18).

SHARPNESS

Sharpness enhances picture detail by increasing the aperture gain of the camera and sharpening the edges in the picture. Available settings include SOFT A, SOFT B, and SHARP. The default setting is SHARP.

CABLE COMPENSATION

Cable compensation mode adjusts the signal output in proportion to the length of the cable. Available settings include SHORT, MIDDLE, and LONG. The default setting is SHORT.

SHORT: Use this option for cable lengths up to 328 ft (100 m).

MIDDLE: Use this option for cable lengths from 328 to 984 ft (100 to 300 m).

LONG: Use this option for cable lengths from 984 to 1640 ft (300 to 500 m).
