Installation Manual Fixed Color Cameras

NIGHT-SAVERTM (NITE SVR) MODE

Advanced feature models (ADCA470 series) are designed to provide a useable image even in

extremely low light conditions. To activate ight-SaverTM mode, set the NITE VR dip switch on

the back panel to ON. The camera will operate in color where the scene illumination is bright and

will automatically switch to monochrome where the scene illumination is low. Typically, the

switchover occurs at approximately 2.0 lux.

To set the camera to operate in color at all times, set the NITE VR dip switch to OFF.

DVR-SAVERTM (DVR SVR) MODE

Advanced feature models (ADCA470 series) have the DVR-SAVERTM mode. Digital video

recorders use video compression (usually based upon the difference in subsequent frames)

and the required storage capacity is therefore dependent upon the difference in scene content.

Features such as AGC and sharpness enhancement etc., can generate signal noise which will

be interpreted as a change in scene content, therefore increasing the amount of space required

to store the video information. The DVR-SAVERTM mode feature may be used to reduce storage

requirements when the camera is connected to a digital video recorder. Similarly, the DVR

Saver can also be used to reduce bandwidth requirements when the camera is connected to

a digital network via an encoder. When used with an American Dynamics Intellex DVR, video

file sizes can be decreased by up to 30%*.

When the DVR- AVERTM dip switch is set to ON, the image may appear softer, though the

difference is minimal once compressed in the DVR. There also may be a slight reduction in low

light sensitivity. The default setting is OFF.

Results may vary based on lighting and scene content.

BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION (BLC)

The backlight compensation feature can be used to eliminate the effect of an area of strong

background lighting in a scene. If a strong background light such as a window exists in a

scene, the camera will try to compensate for it by reducing the overall exposure. This means

that objects in front of the backlight may appear in silhouette.

BLC will only function with a manual iris lens when the AES facility is switched on. For direct

drive (DC) and video drive lenses, BLC will still function even though the AES facility is switched

off.

The functionality available differs between standard and advanced feature cameras.

tandard Models (ADCA330 eries)

On standard models, the Backlight Compensation feature compensates for back-lit scenes by

enhancing objects in the centre of the scene which would previously have been in silhouette.

Select ON or OFF using the BLC dip switch. Default is OFF.

Advanced Feature Models (ADCA470 eries)

On advanced feature models, it is possible to select areas of the scene which can be used to

control the exposure. To facilitate this, seven pre-defined windows are provided. Use the three

BLC dip switches to select one of the pre-defined windows, as shown in the diagram overleaf.

Fixed Color Cameras Installation Manual

BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION (BLC)

When BLC dip switches are adjusted, an overlay window is displayed on-screen showing the

currently selected window. The overlay window will automatically disappear 5 seconds after

the last dip switch setting is made. Any parts of the scene that are not covered by the BLC

window will be ignored when determining the overall scene exposure.

Back Light Compensation feature - Example

People entering a building through a brightly lit doorway are to be monitored. Without backlight

compensation, a person entering the building would be seen in silhouette because the relatively

bright background would cause the camera to reduce its exposure.

By using the backlight compensation feature, it is possible to select a window around the area

of interest, i.e. the doorway. Choosing window B will ensure that the camera exposure system

only uses the central area of the scene to calculate the scene exposure. Therefore a person

entering the building will be clearly displayed.

AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC)

When switched on, the Automatic Gain Control feature will improve camera sensitivity when

the level of scene illumination is low. As scene illumination level decreases, color information is

reduced. For most applications the AGC feature should be switched on and is therefore the

default setting. Select ON or OFF using the AGC dip switch.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC SHUTTER (AES)

The Automatic Electronic Shutter (AES) feature compensates for excessive light levels by

automatically adjusting the shutter speed of the camera. Select ON or OFF using the AE dip

switch. The default setting is OFF.

When using video drive or direct drive (DC) auto-iris lenses, AES must be turned OFF. When

using a fixed or manual iris lens, AES must be turned ON.

SYNCHRONIZATION (SYNC) SELECTION (LL/INT)

Use the YNC dip switch to select the camera synchronization mode. When the camera is

connected to an AC power supply, select linelock mode by setting the dip switch to LL. This

locks the camera frame rate to the mains frequency so that cameras in a system are triggered

at the same point on the AC cycle. Linelock should be disabled when using DC power or a noisy

AC power supply. To do this, set the dip switch to INT.

If the YNC dip switch is set to LL, manual phase adjustments can be performed using the two

push buttons located on the rear of the camera. To activate these push buttons for manual

phase adjustments, set the WHT BAL/PHA E dip switch to PHA E. The push buttons will then

allow the user to advance or retard the line lock phase trigger point by ±180O (360Oof adjustment).

The factory default setting is the zero crossing point. To reset the trigger point to the factory

default setting, press and hold both push buttons.

WHITE BALANCE (WB)

Two white balance modes can be selected using the WB dip switch. For the majority of

applications, the AUTO setting will provide excellent color rendition and is the default setting.

However, there may be instances where it is necessary to set the white balance manually. To

do this, set the WB dip switch to MAN.

If the WB dip switch is set to MAN, adjustments to the red and blue components of the scene

can be performed manually using the two push buttons located on the rear of the camera. To

activate these push buttons for white balance adjustment, set the WHT BAL/PHA E dip switch

to WHT BAL. To reset white balance to factory settings, press and hold both push buttons.

LENS SELECTION

Suitable lens types are C and CS mount in fixed iris, manual iris, video drive auto-iris or direct

drive (DC) auto-iris versions. Compatible lens sizes are 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 and 1. Cameras are

factory set for CS mount lenses. If using a C mount lens, rotate the back focus adjustment

mechanism fully counterclockwise (when viewed from the front of the camera) before fitting

the lenssee Back Focus Adjustment.

Fixed Color Cameras Installation Manual

BACK FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

There are two adjustment points accessible from the top and bottom of the camera housing that

are used to adjust the back focal length or picture focus. The range of adjustment allows both

C and CS mount lenses to be used without the need for a spacer ring. To use the back focus

mechanism:

1. Unlock the back focus mechanism using the back focus locking screws on the top and

bottom of the camera.

2. Rotate the backfocus adjustment ring as required. When viewed from the front of the

camera, clockwise adjustment moves the CCD sensor towards the back of the lens;

counterclockwise adjustment moves the CCD sensor away from the back of the lens.

3. Lock the back focus mechanism.

Fixed Color Cameras Installation Manual

CAMERA MOUNTING

Mounting points are provided on the top and bottom of the camera and are used to mount the

camera on a bracket or tripod. They are designed to accept standard photographic mounting

bolts (1/4" 20 U C). The mounting bracket must be capable of supporting the weight of the

camera and its lens. In cases where the lens is substantially heavier than the camera, it is

better to use the mounting point on the lens itself.

OTE: Some installation codes dictate that the mounting bracket must be capable of supporting

up to four times the combined weight of the camera and lens.
