Using the Window Blanking Feature
The window blanking feature allows you to block sections of your camera’s field of view. The blanked areas persist in all video produced
from the camera, whether viewing video directly through the camera’s interface or from a higher-level recording device or system.
NOTE: Window-blanking regions will not scale proportionally with changes in zoom. Set the zoom level for the camera before defining
window-blanking regions.
1. Select Window Blanking from the Imaging menu.
2. Select On for Window Blanking.
3. Click and drag the mouse across the area of your camera’s video that you want to blank. Select an existing blanking region to delete
it, or edit its size and position.
4. On models where available, a Set Zoom Point panel and a Set Blanking Type panel appear after you draw a blanking region.
a. Select the Set Zoom Point zone to enable the zoom level, and drag the slider or enter a value in the appropriate box to set the
zoom factor that will activate the blanking level at which the blanking region is activated.
b. Where available, in the SetBlankingType zone, select the appropriate blanking type you prefer from the drop-down menu.
5. Click Save.
Calibrating Window Blanking
Calibrating the window blanking feature prevents blanked areas from shifting when you zoom the camera. You only need to calibrate
the window blanking feature once, and you can calibrate before or after configuring blanking areas. If you notice blanked areas shifting
after you have calibrated the window blanking feature, you should recalibrate.
1. Select Window Blanking from the Imaging menu.
2. Click Calibration.
3. Click within the scene to center the camera on an object you want to cover, and then click Ok.
4. Click and drag to draw a blanking region within the camera’s field of view, and then click Ok. The camera will zoom in, and the
blanking region you drew will shift.
NOTE: The blanking region that you draw should be small enough that it does not fill the field of view when the camera is fully
zoomed. If the blanked region fills the screen when the camera zooms in, you will have to recalibrate.
