PICTURE Menu

Noise Reduction (NR)

The NR function removes noise (both random and non-random) to provide clearer images. This function has
six steps: levels 1 to 5, plus off. The NR effect is applied in levels based on the gain, and this setting value
determines the limit of the effect. In bright conditions, changing the NR level will not have an effect. When it is
set to level 7Fh, you can set NR of 2D/3D individually.

2D NR:

2D Noise Reduction is a method of reducing noise within an image by comparing frame-to-frame, removing
the variations that do not appear in each frame

3D NR

3D Noise Reduction is a method of reducing noise by
comparing variances within the same frame, as well as
comparing frame-to-frame. This will reduce noise
without leaving trails behind a moving object.

FLIP:

Image E-Flipper – Used when ceiling mounting or
upright mounting. Set to OFF is upright mode, set to
ON is for ceiling mount.

MIRROR:

You can have the image as seen in a mirror, with
the right side as though it were the left.

COLOR

You can configure the color gain from 1-15. Use this setting when bright color is particularly important.

HUE

You can adjust color phase from 1-15.

ND FILTER:

The ND Filter installed in front of the CMOS image sensor can be engaged or disengaged by the mechanical
structure. The adjustable range of Iris and shutter speed are increased by using the ND Filter.
There are 2 types of ND Filters, and by combining them, the light quantity can be used at 1× (Filter Off), 1/4×,
1/16×, or 1/64×.

IR CUT FILTER

An infrared (IR) Cut-Filter can be disengaged from the image path for increased sensitivity in low light
environments. The ICR will automatically engage depending on the ambient light, allowing the camera to be
effective in day/night environments. When the auto ICR mode is set to NIGHT, the image becomes black and
white.

CHROMA SUPPRESS (Low-Illumination Chroma Suppress Mode)

You can configure a Chroma suppress mode for low illumination conditions. This can be useful when color
noise is particularly noticeable in such conditions. Four levels (disabled and three levels) are available for the
low-illumination Chroma suppress mode.
You can set the brightness from OFF, LOW, MID, HIGH

HLC MODE

HLC (Highlight Light Compensation) is a function to adjust AE and AF, and to perform the masking of light
area as required when a high intensity spot light is detected.

last digit.
PATTERN: Choose a value from 0 to 51. This can be
chosen When SELECT is PATTERN.
PATTERN FINE: Choose a value from 0 to 9. When PATTERN is 0, 0 cannot be chosen for PATTERN FINE.
When PATTERN is 51, a value larger than 2 cannot be chosen for PATTERN FINE. This can be chosen when
SELECT is PATTERN.

OFFSET: You can choose the offset of the output level of gamma curves. Choose a value from –64 to 0 to +64.
LEVEL: Gamma level, you can choose a level value from -7 to 0 to +7.
