IR CUT FILTER SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM Spectra III has two modes of operation: color, and black and white. You can increase sensitivity in low light conditions by switching to black and white mode (removing the IR cut filter). Color mode is preferred in normal lighting conditions.
SPECTRA III LANGUAGE SHUTTER SPEED ENGLISH ACK ALERT* Shutter speed is the duration of the electronic shutter. Program shutter speed to operate automatically (Auto) or manually (Numeric Value). AUTO (default) RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM EXIT The electronic shutter speed is set automatically by the amount of light sensed by the camera.
AUTO IRIS SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* Auto iris is the lens function that automatically opens and closes the iris in response to changing light conditions. Program the auto iris to operate automatically or at a user-defined level. OFF Auto iris is disabled, and control is always manual. AUTO (default) The iris is adjusted automatically to produce a constant video output as determined by the Auto Iris Level setting.
AUTO SHARPNESS SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* Auto sharpness enhances picture detail by increasing the aperture gain of the camera and sharpening the edges in the picture. There are two settings: ON (default) The camera automatically maintains a normal sharpness mode. OFF The sharpness of the picture is set manually by programming the SHARPNESS LEVEL. Sharpness level settings range from 0-63.
BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION (BLC) SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM If a bright backlight is present, the subjects in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette. Backlight compensation enhances objects in the center of the picture. The dome uses the center of the picture to adjust the iris. If there is a bright light source outside of this area, it will wash out to white.
VIDEO LEVEL SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* Set the video output to one of the following: NORMAL 1.0 volt peak-to-peak HIGH (default setting) 1.2 volt peak-to-peak to compensate for losses in video cable.
AUTO FLIP SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM When the camera tilts downward and goes just beyond the vertical position, the dome rotates 180 degrees. When the dome rotates (flips), the camera starts moving upward as long as you continue to hold the joystick in the down position. Once you let go of the joystick after the dome rotates, joystick control returns to normal operation.
PARK TIME SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* This feature allows the dome to begin a specified operation after a programmed time of inactivity. Park time can be programmed from 1 minute to 720 minutes (12 hours), or set to zero, which disables this feature. The default setting is zero. RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM Park Action This feature will define the activity when the dome parks.
SCAN SPEED SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM Scan speed is the degrees per second that the dome will pan when in a scan mode. Scan speed is adjustable from 1 to 40 degrees per second through the programming menu. The default setting is 25 degrees per second. PRESET FREEZE FRAME This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when going to a preset.
LIMIT STOPS SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* Limit stops are programmable stops that limit the pan range of the dome. There must be two limits, a left and a right, to define an area. There are two types of limit stops: MANUAL A manual (joystick) pan operation stops when a limit stop is reached. SCAN The dome reverses direction during random, frame, or auto scanning when a limit stop is reached.
AZIMUTH ZERO SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM Azimuth is the pan angle from 0° to 359°. Azimuth zero is the pan position you specify to be the 0° point. Azimuth zero is normally set to magnetic north. Once set, azimuth and compass readings are based on the set Azimuth Zero point. To program azimuth zero: 1. Use the joystick to position the cursor beside SET AZIMUTH ZERO. 2. Press Iris Open. 3.
