FLIP-A-CHIP
FLIP-A-CHIP is for setting the movement of the camera by using the joystick.
See page 22 for the setting.
Cleaning (CLEANING)
This is used for refreshing the electro-mechanical contacts built into the camera. Use this function for
maintenance when the camera has been directed at a specific spot or panned over a specific range for a
long time.
Image Hold (IMAGE HOLD)
The camera picture remains as a still image on the monitor screen or until the camera reaches the preset
position. This function is useful for surveillance via a local area network.
Camera
(1) Camera Identification (CAMERA ID)
You can use the camera identification to assign a name to the camera. The camera ID consists of up
to 16 alphanumeric characters. You can select whether to have the camera ID displayed on the moni-
tor screen or not. See page 23 for the setting.
(2) Light Control (ALC/MANUAL)
You can select the mode for adjusting the lens iris. There are two modes as follows:
ALC: The lens iris is automatically adjusted to suit the brightness of the object.
You can select one of two modes (BLC ON or BLC OFF) of backlight compensation.
Backlight compensation is available in the ALC mode. It eliminates strong background light
which makes the camera picture dark such as a spotlight.
MANUAL: The lens iris is fixed at the value that you have set regardless of the brightness of an
object.
• ALC Mode with BLC ON
In normal use, the important object in a scene is placed in the centre of the monitor screen. In the
factory setting, more photometric weight is given to the centre of the screen than to the edge of the
screen (where bright backlight would most likely be located). In such a case, the object at the centre
of the screen can be still clearly seen even though the backlight may vary.
See page 24 for the setting.
• ALC Mode with BLC OFF
This mode is effective when the main object in the scene is not located in the centre of the screen but
a source of bright light is located near the centre of the scene. In this mode, the picture is divided
into 48 areas that mask the light to keep the clarity of the picture.
Note: The result of field setup of the mask area and level adjustment is fed back (effected) to the lens
iris control in ALC mode.
(3) Shutter Speed (SHUTTER)
You can select a shutter speed from among 1/50 (OFF), 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1 000, 1/2 000,
1/4 000, and 1/10 000 seconds.
See page 26 for the setting.
