2.2.3.2 Properties (Applies to 5970
The user must be logged in as Admin or Priv. in order to make changes in the
camera Properties tab. The camera Properties menu allows user to configure
the camera settings.
•
Click the Setup button.
•
Click the Properties button.
•
The Properties window will open up.
The Factory Default settings are recommended as the camera setting for
general use. See Section 2.2.3.2.4. However, image quality can often be im-
proved by changing camera parameters. When defining preset positions, the
operator is encouraged to change the various settings to determine the best
settings for each scene. No changes made through this window will damage
the camera in any way, and the camera can easily be restored to the Factory
Default settings or to the User Start-up conditions. See Section 2.2.3.2.4.
2.2.3.2.1 Video
Color Mode: Selecting Color enables the Color output when selecting color
Look Up Tables (LUT).
Mono Mode: Disables the Color output. The
Look Up Tables (LUT) are still active, and chang-
ing the Color mode to Mono and selecting differ-
ent Polarity LUT's can produce interesting gray
scale effects.
Supplemental Offset: The 5970 camera has
been factory calibrated to compensate for the
thermal non-uniformity of the particular lens that
is installed on the camera. This fundamental cali-
bration primarily addresses the quality area of the image. A supplemental offset calibration produces an
additional array of offset coefficients to further correct for the thermal non-uniformity of the lens, particularly
in the periphery area of the lens. Under most conditions enabling the supplemental offset correction will
produce a more uniform image. However, under certain scene conditions and temperature conditions, the
Supplemental Offset may reduce the image quality. The user is encouraged to compare the supplemental
offset modes to determine the optimum operating mode for the scene being viewed.
NOTE: When Supplemental Offset is enabled the camera continuously monitors the uniformity of the im-
age and periodically makes uniformity adjustments. These automatic adjustments are sometimes visible
in the video.
Detail or DDE (Digital Detail Enhancement) is used to better define edges in the image and enhance faint
details so they are more visible.
The valid range of Dynamic DDE setting is from 1 to 63 with 17 being the neutral setting where the filter has
no effect. Settings below 17 will smooth the image, reducing the appearance of sharp edges. Higher DDE
settings will enhance all image non-uniformities resulting in a very detailed but grainy picture, especially
in high dynamic range scenes. Typical factory settings are between 22 and 30. Settings from 18 to 39 are
normal imaging modes where the edge enhancement can be tuned for the scene.
