The state of the auto-iris is displayed on a color
panel which has six different states:
“Disabled”: the auto-iris is either
disabled by un-checking the “Enabled”
check box, or is not present.
“Evaluating”: the camera is preparing to
close the iris.
“Too Dark”: the camera cannot close
the iris because the scene illumination is
too low.
“Closing”: the iris is closing down by
the number of F-stops appropriate for
the lens model.
“Closed”: the iris is closed.
“Opening”: the iris is opening.
Auto-iris will open the lens fully once the on-
camera analog gains exceed certain level. “Gain”
scroll bar adjusts the point where the auto-iris
will open fully: the higher the gain the later will
the auto-iris open as the illumination diminishes.
