CHANGING THE POLARITY/LUT SETTING

The Polarity/LUT setting programs the specific palette of colors to represent the temperatures in the thermal image. These colors are not calibrated to a specific temperature. Rather, they represent the temperature variations within the thermal image. The following table lists the available display types and their color palettes. These palettes show the range of colors from hot temperatures to cold temperatures.

To change the Polarity/LUT setting:

1.Click the Video tab (refer to Figure 7).

2.Click the down arrow in the Polarity/LUT pane.

3.Select a setting from the drop-down list.

4.Once all required changes are made, click the Camera tab, and then click Save Settings.

NOTE: If changed settings are not saved, the camera will revert back to its previous settings the next time power is turned on/off.

PAN AND ZOOM

Zoom 2x

The camera has a built-in 2X digital zoom capability. The “Zoom 2x” check box is used to turn on/off the camera zoom. With the check box cleared, the camera displays the image at full resolution (320 x 240 NTSC or 320 x 256 PAL). This full-resolution image is also called the full-array area.

When the “Zoom 2x” check box is selected, a smaller portion of the video displays, creating a zoom effect. This reduced, or “zoomed,” area of the video is called the zoomed array region.
