Freeze, Automatic Gain Control & Sensitivity

The settings for Automatic Gain Control (AGC) affect the brightness and picture levels of the video produced by the camera. AGC amplifies existing video to help the camera reproduce a video signal at low light levels. Sensitivity controls adjust how the camera works in low light conditions.

·FREEZE: Freezes the Field or the Frame in a still mode until you select Off, or until you move the camera with the remote control.

·AGC Levels: Selects the base level of gain control used when automatic gain control is on.

·SENS: Changing the sensitivity changes how the camera compensates for low light. The higher the setting is called “Starlight” Mode (square cursor to the right). In this mode the camera lets more light in when in the dark, and a better picture results.

Color Settings

The options in the color settings menu control the appearance of the video picture you get from the camera.

·ATW: Adjusts the settings for Auto Trace White Balance (ATW). ATW automatically adjusts the picture to accurately show white in response to varying light conditions. Change the setting towards R (red) or B (blue) to tell the ATW how to adjust for your specific light conditions more accurately.

·AWB: Auto White Balance works with ATW to maintain accurate levels of white in the video from the camera. Change the setting towards R (red) or B (blue) to tell the AWB how to adjust for your specific light conditions more accurately.

·R Gain: Adjusts the saturation of red in the video produced by the camera. Set this to higher levels to correct for low levels of red in your picture, or vice versa.

·B Gain: Adjusts the saturation of red in the video produced by the camera. Set this to higher levels to correct for low levels of blue in your picture, or vice versa.
