Color camera settings

RS Media's color camera might sometimes have problems identifying
certain colors, especially skin-tones and the color blue, under different
light conditions. You can change the white-balance setting manually by
choosing white balance under options in Media Mode.
SETTING DESCRIPTION
Auto RS Media automatically determines the best color
Balance camera settings and adjusts them for the lighting
in his current environment.
NOTE: If Photo or Video quality is poor,
changing the color camera settings might help
improve the image.
This is the default setting.
Indoor Adjusts the color camera setting for artificial
Yellow tungsten lighting (i.e. common household light
bulbs) as the dominant light source.
Indoor Adjusts the color camera setting for white-toned
indoor lighting (i.e. fluorescent bulbs) as the
White
dominant light source.
Sunlight Adjusts the color camera setting for natural
sunlight as the dominant light source.
NOTE: When RS Media tracks colored objects, he will respond to the
largest object of the correct color. If the colored object is in front of
a colorful background, this can interfere with his color tracking.
When it is too dark, RS Media will have trouble correctly identifying
colors, will give false readings, and will not be able to track objects using
his color camera.

Blinking in Programming modes

RS Medias eyes blink very quickly when waiting for a visual cue, or blink
slowly when waiting for a sonic cue in a programming mode.

Guard Mode

Put RS Media into Guard Mode and he will become stationary.
His infrared vision sensors and stereo sonic sensors will sound an alarm
or perform a program assigned to them when triggered by audio or visual
stimuli.
If there is no program stored in Vision or Sound then RS Media will perform
his default Guard Mode reaction.
RS Media will leave Guard Mode at the touch of ANY controller button
(except Left Shift & Right Shift buttons).
If he hears ten sounds in a row with no vision disturbances in between, he
will turn his sound sensors off. If he has 10 vision disturbances in a row
with no sound disturbances between them, he will turn his vision sensors
off. If both are turned OFF in this manner he will exit Guard Mode.
Caution
As RS Media will become animated during Guard Mode, Do not to
leave him near the edge of a table.
Note
Touch sensors do not function in Guard Mode. RS Media will go to
Sleep Mode after about 30 minutes in Guard Mode. Any disturbance
during Guard Mode will reset the 30 minutes time out.
