5.7Video preferences

The means used to control the camera depends on your work methods. A remote OCP can be used and a low user level can be selected to restrict the available camera functions. Alternatively, video functions can be controlled on the camera itself. The following functions are available on the camera:

•Standard settings

•Test signal

•Gain selection

•Optical filter selection

•Colour temperature

•Auto-white balance

•Exposure time

•Black stretch

•Auto skin detail

Many other video functions such as detail, black, gain, knee, gamma, matrix and white limit functions are available in the VIDEO menu.

5.7.1 Standard settings

To ensure that some of the camera functions are not set to unusual values, a standard file has been defined that contains the default values for most video functions. The table in the Appendix lists the values that are set when the standard file is recalled.

To recall the standard values for the various video functions, press the green STD button on the left-front side of the camera and hold it for two seconds. The standard values only take effect when the camera is not on-air.

The standard file can be selected as either a factory or a customer standard file. Changing the standard file can only be done in the System security menu if the owner card or the PIN code is used.

The Non-standard indicator lights when the video settings are not set to their standard value, for example, when exposure is not set to nominal. It also lights when black stretch or extended auto iris is on and if AWC, FL50 or FL60 is selected with the colour temperature selector.
