Feature Definitions

ZOOM ADJUSTMENT - Pressing and holding the + or - function will adjust the size of the image on

the monitor.

FOCUS ADJUSTMENT - The green light indicates that the focus adjustment is in the automatic mode.
The image will remain in focus as the picture is zoomed in or out or the light head is repositioned. The
user can manually adjust the focus by pressing and holding the + or - key. When these keys are
pressed, the green indicator light will go out. To reset the auto focus feature, press and hold the auto
focus button until the green light turns on.

EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT - The green light indicates that the exposure adjustment is in the automatic
mode. The proper light exposure will remain correct as the light intensity changes. The user can manu­ally adjust the exposure (iris) by pressing and holding the + or - key. When these keys are pressed, the
green indicator light will go out. To reset the auto exposure feature, press and hold the auto exposure
button until the green light turns on.

AUTO FUNCTION - These buttons restore the corresponding function to automatic. Press and hold the
button until the green light turns on.

MEMORY FUNCTION - This function allows the user to memorize a specific camera setting. First the
settings (zoom, focus, exposure and/or white balance) are established. To store these settings simultane­ously press the memory key and Preset 1 or Preset 2.

PRESET 1 and 2 - Recalls or establishes memorized settings. To recall a setting simply press the appro­priate button and the system will automatically recall the desired settings. These settings will remain
stored until new settings are programmed, or until the system is turned off.

AUTO WHITE BALANCE - The “white balance” function is used to balance the video image colors
according to the dominant color in the field viewed. Prismavision has an automatic white balance fea­ture calibrated to the PrismAlix and Prismatic light. The user can manually set the white balance by
focusing the Prismavision camera on a uniform color (white sheet of paper) and pressing and holding
the auto white balance button for 10 to 15 seconds until the image changes color. To reset the default
auto white balance, press and release the same key.

Image Orientation

Foot Control

Image Orientation

The on screen image can be oriented by rotation of the Prismavision or Prismacom handle assembly.
This allows the user to place the image in the exact position desired.

Foot Control

The foot control is optional. The foot control has two functions, zoom in and zoom out. The right pedal
reduces image size and the left pedal increases image size. The foot control connects directly to the
Prismavision Power Supply Box and operates independent of the hand control.
