TILT (Down | Up)

The front camera may be tilted up and down by engaging the Tilt "Up" / "Down" switch in the desired
direction. Releasing the switch causes the camera to hold its orientation. The rear camera is fixed and
cannot be tilted.
6.2.7

FOCUS (Out | In)

To focus the front camera, engage the Focus 'In' / 'Out' switch in the desired direction until the optimal
focus is achieved. Releasing the switch causes the camera to hold its focus. The rear camera uses a fixed
focus lens that cannot be changed.
6.2.8

LIGHTS (Dim | Bright)

The Lights knob controls the brightness of VideoRay's on-board lights. When rotated to the "Dim"
position, the lights may not go out, but glow slightly. Do not set the lights to "Bright" for more than 20
seconds when the VideoRay is out of the water.
6.2.9

MODE (Calibrate | Set)

This switch is used for several purposes. First, it cycles through the Video Overlay modes. The Video
Overlay superimposes information over the video image from the camera. Any attached video recording
device also records the Video Overlay. Each time the Mode switch is momentarily engaged to "Set," the
overlay mode cycles to the next Video Overlay display. The sequence is as follows:
1) No Overlay
2) Date and Time
3) Depth and Compass Heading
4) Date and Time and Depth and Heading
The Mode switch is also used to select the Depth Display Units (Section 6.3.3). The units can be displayed
in either feet of meters. By engaging the switch to "Set" while powering up the system, the units displayed
will toggle between feet and meters. VideoRay will "remember" the last units used and continue to power
up in that mode until changed by the operator.
Finally, the Mode switch is used to calibrate the Compass and Depth Gauge (Section 8.7).

LCD DISPLAY

and calibration operations. The LCD display contrast is adjustable for easy viewing under varying light
conditions.
