DOME SETTINGS Camera AUTO FOCUS SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* Auto focus allows the lens to remain in focus during zoom-in, zoom-out, and motion functions. There are two auto focus settings: ON (default) If auto focus mode is set to ON, the camera will focus automatically when using pan, tilt, and zoom functions. OFF Focus is operated manually. To focus, press the Focus Far or Focus Near button on the controller.
Advanced Camera Settings SHUTTER SPEED SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* Shutter speed is the duration of the electronic shutter. Program shutter speed to operate automatically (Auto) or manually (Numeric Value).
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) OFF RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM EXIT The camera automatically maintains a normal sharpness mode. The sharpness of the picture is set manually by programming the SHARPNESS LEVEL.
BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION (BLC) SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM EXIT 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.
Motion Settings AUTO FLIP SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM EXIT 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 go to preset 1 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 EXIT Park Action This feature will define the activity when the dome parks.
SCAN SPEED SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* 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. LIMIT STOPS RESET CAMERA CYCLE CAMERA POWER REBOOT SYSTEM EXIT Limit stops are programmable stops that limit the pan range of the dome.
AZIMUTH ZERO SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* 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. Follow the directions displayed on the monitor.
Power Up POWER UP ACTION SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* This setting defines a specific activity (scan, preset, pattern) to be performed in the event the power to the dome is cycled. The following settings are available: NONE No action. AUTO SCAN Dome starts auto scan operation. RANDOM SCAN Dome starts random scan operation. FRAME SCAN Dome starts frame scan operation. PRESET 1 Dome goes to preset 1. PRESET 8 Dome goes to preset 8.
Line Sync SPECTRA III LANGUAGE ENGLISH ACK ALERT* Line sync refers to a programmable function that allows you to synchronize all cameras within a matrix system. NOTE: Spectra III automatically senses V-sync input. No line sync setup is required for Pelco control systems that provide a V-sync signal.
