Unibrain Fire-i XGA Operation Manual 7.3. Page 36 Pan/Tilt Pan/Tilt is a function used to move a camera up and down or left and right. However unlike the mechanical Pan /Tilt which is carried out by physically moving the camera up and down, this functions by using a smaller video mode than the CCD’s effective pixels and moving the image up and down. This results in a reduced resolution, which the user can specify by the Pan/Tilt command.

Page 47 LUT (Lookup table) The Fire-i OEM board cameras support a LUT, which is providing users with an image with the user’s defined dynamic range. Through the LUT, users can process the images from saturation to dark. The LUT can be used optionally with Brightness, Sharpness and Gamma. However, the applied sequence is that the LUT is applied prior to features like Brightness, Sharpness and Gamma.
