Sending The Camera Feed To S-Video Camera Out; Controlling The Internal Camera Input; Camera Zoom; Camera Focus - High End Systems DL.3 User Manual

Sending the Camera Feed to S-Video Camera Out

The factory default assigns the video feed from the internal camera to the graphics engine.
However, a DL.3 fixture can be configured to route the camera video feed to the Camera Out
connector by setting the Control Parameter to a DMX value between 229-232.
NOTE: You can route the internal camera video feed to either the graphic engine or
the camera out connector, but not to both at the same time.
This setting will be retained until you change it or restore the factory defaults.

Controlling the Internal Camera Input

Several parameters allow you to control and apply effects to the Internal camera input.

Camera Zoom

The Camera Zoom parameter uses two DMX channels to provide 16-bit control of the camera's
zoom function. This includes an 18× optical and 12× digital zoom for a total of 216× combined
zoom range. You can adjust the Camera Zoom parameter from In (DMX value = 0) to Out (DMX
value = 65535)

Camera Focus

The Camera Focus parameter uses two DMX channels to provide 16-bit control of the camera's
focus function. Auto focus for the camera is active when DMX values = 0–511. The camera focus
can also be manually adjusted from In (Far End) DMX value = 512 to Out (Near End) DMX value
= 65535.

IR Illuminator

The DL.3 fixture is equipped with an illuminator that can output infrared (IR) light. The
IR Illuminator parameter controls both the IR illuminator output and the camera's infrared
sensing option. DMX values = 0 – 63 turn the illuminator off and set the camera to sense the
visible light spectrum. From DMX values = 64–127, the illuminator remains off, but the camera's
Auto IR function is ON, detecting ambient infrared light in the environment. The rest of the DMX
range turns the Auto adjustment off and adjusts the amount of IR illuminator output from FULL
(DMX value = 128) to OFF (DMX value = 255).

Camera Shutter

The DL.3 fixture's internal camera can create slow-motion and choppy-frame effects using the
camera shutter options. The Camera Shutter parameter controls the camera shutter providing
six steps of frame rate control from 1 to 30 frames/second. DMX values = 0 – 63 set Full Auto
Exposure and is the suggested default option.
