IMAGING TAB
General: Includes camera orientation and digital processing settings. The orientation settings allow for
standard or inverted installation of the camera. The digital processing settings adjust the sharpness,
saturation, and contrast of the scene.
Exposure: Adjusts scene detail and contrast. A scene with correct exposure settings has adequate detail
and contrast between white and dark values. An image with too little or too much exposure eliminates
detail in the scene. The camera features auto and manual exposure settings.
Focus: Includes auto back focus and manual focus settings (refer to Focus in the IX Series Installation/
Operation manual or the IXE Series Installation/Operation manual for detailed instructions). Focus sets the
back focus to the center focal point of the scene. Auto focus automatically back focuses the camera on the
subject in the center of the scene. Manual focus turns off the auto focus mechanism and locks the camera
at a user-specified position. The manual focus setting is recommended only for indoor applications that
have a single, unchanging primary light source.
Tone Map: Balances the brightest and darkest sections of an image to produce a picture with more
balanced lighting and more detail.
White Balance: Defines how the camera processes video images to render true colors in a scene. White
balance is especially effective in scenes with changing lighting conditions or in scenes with more than one
type of light source.
Window Blanking: Conceals user-defined privacy areas. A blanked area appears on the screen as a
solid gray window. The camera can handle up to four blanked windows as long as the total blanked area
does not exceed 50 percent of the field of view.
A/V STREAMS TAB
Use the A/V Streams tab to configure the video and audio streams for the camera. The A/V Streams tab
includes a Video Presets page, a Video Configuration page, and an Audio Configuration page.
Video Presets: The Video Preset page includes three fully-configured video presets, which include
primary and secondary video stream settings for easy setup. These presets may also be used as a starting
point for a custom video configuration. These preset configurations vary depending on camera model.
Video Configuration: The Video Configuration page allows you to customize the compression, resolution,
image rate, and bit rate of the video streams. The default names for the streams are Primary Stream and
Secondary Stream. Although each stream can be configured independently, the settings of one stream can
limit the options available to the other stream, depending on the processing power used.
NOTE: Always configure the primary stream before the secondary stream. The primary stream should
always be the most resource-intensive of the streams.
Audio Configuration: The Audio Configuration page allows you to set up the external audio device. The
default setting for Audio is disabled, which means that no audio is transmitted from the camera. When
enabled, audio is transmitted from the camera to the PC. Based on your system configuration, images and
audio may not be synchronized.
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties.
Applicable laws regarding the use of such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among
other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are solely responsible for insuring
strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.
