Privacy Calibration
The Privacy Calibration section deals with the calibration settings of the privacy
masking. I.e. how the masks track as the MIC is moved in Pan, Tilt or Zoom.
MIC Configuration
These options define the MIC's orientation, which defines how the masks track. for
Inverted MICs, the head would normally be rolled around through 180 degrees,
with Pan Reverse On to regain sensible control. However, with inverted IR MICs,
the head cannot be rotated around due to the IR Lamp arms and therefore the
video must be inverted and both controls reversed.
Basic Calibration
This sends a set of default commands to the MIC to initialise the privacy for an
upright MIC. This will not be perfect as each board needs fine individual calibration
but provides a good starting point.
Zoom Alignment
The zoom alignment buttons provide accurate calibration of the mask tracking.
This would normally be carried out by using a vertical line of mask on along a
known straight edge. If this line then moves as the MIC pans and tilts, it can be
corrected using the appropriate arrow. The labels indicate the current value in both
the Vertical and Horizontal planes, which will be incremented or decremented
dependant upon the direction pressed.
Direct Command
All privacy commands consist of 2 Hex bytes, a command byte and a data byte.
These perform all of the privacy functions available. To enter a command, enter
the 2 bytes, in Hex, into the boxes provided and press Send Command. Entering
random commands here may result in very odd results so please do not use
unless under specific instruction.
Save Current Settings
Once any calibration changes are made, this button should be pressed to save the
new values permanently.
Captions
The Captions tab allows the user to set up captions, Sector or Preset Captions;
Screen Location and Caption Colour are all user definable.
The MIC has 3 different caption options available. On the MIC 400 model range
only one line of text is available and therefore a Preset Caption will overwrite a
Default Caption.
The Default Caption can be treated as the name of the camera. It will appear on
the video whenever it can, i.e. when no Preset or Sector captions are selected.
Preset Captions can be used to display a different title for each of the preset
positions available. This will be loaded once the MIC has reached the position.
As an alternative, the same 64 captions can be used, not for preset positions but
for rotational sectors. The MIC’s pan is split into 64 segments and a different
caption can be assigned to each or to a group. Using this option can result in an
occasional slight control lag.
CAUTION: The Privacy Calibration settings should be
configured at manufacture and should therefore not need to
be changed on site.
Any changes to these settings may be difficult to correct, so
please do not attempt to change anything unless under
instruction from Bosch.
