    3.2 Image Transfer 3.2.1 FTP Image Transfer To transfer images via FTP, first make sure to set up the FTP server properly. Please check the following items: The username/password or anonymous login must be set for FTP server. Set the permission of the read/write/create directory. First, type the IP address of the FTP server (destination IP).
  • Page 22 EN Camera Series operate properly. ADR operation can be enabled/disabled by the user at any time. Make sure to set up Moxa (RS-485 to Ethernet converter) properly. See (VIS400 manual Appendix A). In the camera’s “Properties” window, set up the light sensor’s IP address and Port number. These numbers must be consistent with Moxa’s setting.
  • Page 23: Flash Nighttime Light Control

    EN Camera Series Also, check the “Error Status” register. If there is a connection error, LS1_ERR or LS2_ERR is set. If a light sensor is not required for your application, set the “Camera ADR Control” register to “Manual.” 3.3.2 Flash Nighttime Light Control The strobe and continuous nighttime light can be manually turned on and off.
  • Page 24: Time Synchronization

    3.4 Time Synchronization The EN camera supports NTP (network time protocol) synchronization. If you disable NTP by clearing the “NTP Client Control” register, then the internal clock will drift approximately 1.5 seconds per day. To reset the clock, set the “Real Time Clock” register to your current local time. If you decide to take advantage of the NTP feature, make sure to set up the NTP server, preferably with GPS input.

    6.3 ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) Control ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) control is a key algorithm of EN cameras. The ADR algorithm controls the EN camera parameters on a continuous basis to maintain the contrast-to-noise of the license plates on passing vehicles to a suitable level required for automatic license plate reading algorithms.
  • Page 43: Electronic Shutter

    “ADR White to Blue Ratio” is the ratio between a white plate and blue plate, and is used to optimize the camera parameters. This value is optimized by JAI, and should be kept at factory default. Please do not change it.

Note that this Shutter value is dial number and not actual exposure time, (left side of the table above).
  • Page 45: Video Amplifier Gain Control

    EN Camera Series 6.3.3 Video Amplifier Gain Control Normally, video amplifier gain is controlled automatically by an ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) control algorithm inside the EN, based on the output from the light sensor. However, the user can manually change gain value by using the EN setup software (See Section 7.2 on page 47 for more information).
  • Page 46: Hdr Mode (4032En Only)

    EN Camera Series Note: Gain Value is Gain entry in camera LUT after calibration. When the EN camera is controlled by a light sensor, user can monitor the gain value in the EN setup software by accessing "Camera Gain" status register (Address = 232). This Gain value is the Gain Table Entry in LUT after calibration (left side of the table above).
