Window Blanking
Window blanking allows a user to program up to eight, four-sided, user-defined areas that
cannot be viewed by the operator of the dome system. A blanked area will move with pan and
tilt functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.
Spectra III SE has two style modes for window blanking, GRAY and SMEAR. If style is set to
gray, the blanked area is covered with a solid gray window. If smear is selected images behind
the window will be noticeable but not distinguishable.
To set a window blanking area:
1. Use the joystick to position the cursor beside WINDOW BLANKING. Press Iris Open. The
WINDOW BLANKING menu appears on the screen.
2. Move the joystick to position the cursor beside SET WINDOWS. Press Iris Open to enter.
3. Position the cursor beside WINDOW NUMBER. Press Iris Open. The cursor moves to the
right.
4. Move the joystick up or down to view selections. Press Iris Open to enter selection.
5. Use the joystick to position the cursor beside EDIT WINDOW LOCATION. Press Iris Open,
and then follow the instructions that appear on the screen. When all four corners are
set, the SET WINDOWS menu reappears, the blanked area is displayed, and the
ENABLE WINDOW option is set to YES.
NOTE: Use the inside corner of the window selection tool
as a guide when selecting the upper left, upper right, bottom
right, and bottom left corners of the window. Set windows
are not visible when editing a new window location.
