Dynamic Detail Enhancement or DDE filter: This option applies a Bi-Lateral filter to
enhance image. The commands to control the DDE settings are Filter Gain to control the
gain, Filter Control to control the DDE filter threshold and Spatial Control to control the
spatial threshold of the DDE filter.
1. Filter Gain. The image remains unchanged when the value of the Filter Gain is 0 and 16.
The image becomes unfocussed/unsharpened when the value is between 1 and 15. The
image becomes more sharpened when the value is above 16. The Filter Gain can be set
between 0 and 250.
2. Filter Control. Increasing the Filter Control, also called the threshold, will make the
edges sharper. For threshold values between 0 and about 50 the effect on the image is
lesser and has a greater effect above approximately 50. The Filter Control can be set
between 0 and 250.
3. Spatial Control. Increasing the spatial threshold value will make the image look
smoother. The Spatial Control can be set between 0 and 255.
Note: In 14-bit Raw mode, selecting the DDE mode will not affect the digital data output.
Video Mode: Three Video modes are provided for configuring the camera output:
1. Real-Time. In this mode, the camera provides streaming thermal imagery in real-time.
2. Freeze-Frame. The camera freezes the image at the moment this mode is selected,
providing the same frame continuously.
3. Disabled. Infrared imagery is replaced by a uniform gray output in this mode.
Video Standard: Two Video modes are provided for configuring the camera video output:
1. NTSC. The RS-170A or NTSC is a standard video format used in the United States.
2. PAL. The CCIR or PAL is a standard video format used commonly in Europe.
