7) Video Configuration
This page is to configure every channel with various conditions.
(1) Video Channel Selection
NetCam-2 has two channel options: ‘Ch#0(Internal)’ and ‘Ch#1(External)’. ‘Ch#0(Internal)’ is fixed for
internal CCD module, and ‘Ch#1(External)’ is for external CCD camera.
(2) Video Channel State Control
It is to determine which channels will be enabled to send image signals to the image viewer. If a channel with
an external source is disabled, no image will appear in the image viewer. However, if a channel without an
external source is enabled, the overall transmission speed will go down and no image will appear. To view an
image from an external source, the channel with the source must be enabled.
(3) Camera Color Type
It is to defines whether images from a camera are color or Black/White (B/W). This will not change a
camera’s original character (color cameras can be viewed in B/W or color, but they are still “color” cameras).
Rather, this is to help define external cameras, and provide information to NetCam-2.
(4) Video Signal Type
It is to define whether CCD module of NetCam-2 and external CCD cameras are ‘NTSC’ or ‘PAL’.
(5) Camera Installation Angle
NetCam-2 can always show images in right angle regardless its installation position. If NetCam-2 is located
on the wall upside down, user can adjust image angel by selecting ’90 deg.’ or ‘270 deg.’

Calibration Parameters
Administrator can manipulate screen settings by adjusting brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, horizontal line
shift, and vertical line shift from the menu. With ‘Video Gain’ menu, the image may be optimized without
adjusting each value of other menus. However ‘Video Gain’ and ‘Vertical Line Shift’ are not supported
currently. They are to be supported in near future.

Administrator can configure caption on real time image with display options such as color and contents.
Caption is to be made of time information, channel information, and additional explanation (user defined
string).
Visual Setting Parameters
Administrator can configure QBOX and image quality level with aid of real time image. Place the mouse
curse on real time image and click the right button, pop-up menus will be viewed.
• QBOX Parameters: Administrator sets QBOX area with a mouse to ‘click and drag’. Selected area
shows in ‘Left Top Placement’ and ‘Right Bottom Placement’ panels in figures. With ‘Ambient Level’
menu, Administrator may set quality level of unfocused area in the image (out of the focused range).
There are 5 levels. Administrator may set level 5(Darker) to make unfocused area dark and get the
transmission speed up.
• Image Quality Level: Administrator chooses image quality level from 0 to 9. Level 9 is the best quality.
But transmission speed will be reduced because of larger sized data. The image level inside the
