6 Using the AutoDome 800 Series
The AutoDome 800 Series transmits PTZ control commands and images over a TCP/IP network. It also allows users to configure the camera display settings, camera operating settings, and to configure the network parameters. The IP unit incorporates a network video server in the IP module. The primary function of the server is to encode video and control data for transmission over a TCP/IP network. With its H.264 encoding, it is ideally suited for IP communication and for remote access to digital video recorders and multiplexers. The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily. Video images from a single camera can be simultaneously received on several receivers. Refer to Section 9 BVIP Firmware Updates, page 115, for firmware upgrade instructions.
6.1 Overview of Features
The AutoDome 800 Series includes the following functionality:
Function Description Video Encoding The camera uses the H.264 compression standards and ensures that the
data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions within wide limits.
Streaming Encodes multiple data streams simultaneously according to individually
customized profiles. This feature creates data streams that can serve different purposes. For example, one (1) data stream for recording and one (1) data stream optimized for transmission over the Local Area Network (LAN).
Multicast Enables simultaneous, real-time transmission to multiple receivers. The
network must implement the UDP and IGMP V2 protocols as a prerequisite for Multicasting.
Configuration Allows configuration for all camera settings from a Web browser on the
local network (Intranet) or on the Internet. You can also update the firmware, load device configurations, store configuration settings, and copy these settings from one camera to another.
Snapshots Allows you to take and store individual video frames as JPEG images from
the Web browser interface.
Record Allows configuration for the recording options of the IP module. You can
record video from the Livepage to a hard drive or you can opt to store up to 8 MB of video on the IP module.

6.5 Configuring Intelligent Tracking
The AutoDome utilizes the built-in Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) to continuously follow an individual or object even if it passes behind a Privacy Mask or a stationary object. The AutoDome uses objects detected by IVA in a stationary preset position to activate the Intelligent Tracking feature. Intelligent Tracking controls the pan/tilt/zoom actions of the camera to keep the selected object in the scene. To activate the Intelligent Tracking feature, one of the following conditions must be met: – The Silent IVA option must be selected in the VCA page on the Settings tab. Refer to
Section 7.40 VCA, page 97.
IVA must be active for at least one preset scene in the VCA page on the Settings tab. If
IVA is configured for one scene, then all other scenes have Intelligent Tracking enabled by default. If a scene, however, has Motion+ of IVA Flow activated then the Intelligent Tracker is disabled for these scenes.
NOTICE!
The following actions occur if Intelligent Tracking is active: – All other IVA objects are disabled in scenes with Intelligent Tracking. – The camera automatically disables the display of compass headings. Refer to Page 88 for
details of the Compass feature.
6.5.1 Intelligent Tracking Operation
The Intelligent Tracking feature behaves in one of the following ways: – A user controls the pan/tilt/zoom while the AutoDome is in Intelligent Tracking mode.
User actions always take precedence over Intelligent Tracking. If the AutoDome is actively tracking an object and a user takes control, the AutoDome will attempt to track the object after a period of inactivity.
An IVA alarm can trigger Intelligent Tracking to track a detected object.
A rule that triggers an IVA event must be set. The following standard tasks can be set Object in field, Crossing Line, Loitering, Condition change, Following route, Entering field, and Leaving field. Refer to the Intelligent Video Analysis Operation Guide for complete details about using IVA.
A user manually selects an object in the live image area to track.
Intelligent Tracking allows a user to click a moving object in the live image display inside the Livepage to identify an object to track.

6.5.2 Guidelines for Implementing Intelligent Tracking
Factors such as the viewing angle and unwanted motion (from trees, for example) may interfere with Intelligent Tracking operation. Use the following recommendations to ensure smooth Intelligent Tracking operation: – Mount/Mounting Surface Stability
Mount the camera in the most stable position. Avoid locations affected by vibrations,
such as those caused by a roof-top air conditioner. These vibrations may cause complications when the camera zooms-in on a target.
Use the pendant arm mount, if possible. This mount option provides the most
stability for the camera.
Use guy wires to protect against strong winds if using the parapet mount.
Field of View
Select a location and viewing angle that allows the flow of people to move across
the camera’s field of view. – Avoid motion that moves directly towards the camera. – Avoid locations that attract large numbers of people, such as retail stores or
intersections. Intelligent Tracking is optimized for scenes with very few moving
objects.
Unwanted Motion
Avoid neon lights, flashing lights, night time lights, and reflected light (from a
window or mirror, for example). The flickering of these lights can affect the
Intelligent Tracking operation.
6.6 The Livepage
Once the connection is established, the Web browser displays the Livepage. It shows the live video image on the right of the browser window. Depending on the configuration, various text overlays may be visible on the live video image. Other information may be shown next to live video image on the Livepage. The display depends on the settings on the Livepage Configuration page (see the AutoDome 800 Series online help).
Display Stamping
Various overlays or “stamps” in the video image provide important status information. The overlays provide the following information:
Decoding error. The frame might show artefacts due to decoding errors. If subsequent frames reference this corrupted frame, they might also show decoding errors as well but won’t be marked with the “decoding error” icon.
Alarm flag set on media item
Communication error. Any kind of communication error is visualized by this icon.

6.6.2 Using Intelligent Tracking
Intelligent Tracking continuously follows an individual or an object. Intelligent Tracking operates by recognizing an object in motion and zooms-in to approximately 50% of the field of view for an average target height of six feet. Refer to Section 6.5 Configuring Intelligent Tracking, page 60, for details about activating the Intelligent Tracking feature. Note: If you do not see these controls on the Livepage, ensure that the Enable AutoTrack option is selected on the Livepage Functions page in the Settings tab. Refer to Section 7.15 Livepage Functions, page 78. Use the following options to control Intelligent Tracking: – Off: Disables Intelligent Tracking. – Auto: Enables Intelligent Tracking. Constantly monitors for and actively tracks motion. Click: Click on a moving target in the live video image to enable the AutoDome to track
the movement of the selected target.
NOTICE!
When Intelligent Tracking is activated, the AutoDome disables the display of the compass heading. Once Intelligent Tracking is set to Off, the AutoDome resumes display of the compass heading. Refer to Page 88 for details of the Compass feature.
If the Intelligent Tracking feature is set to Auto or Click, the live video image displays an eye icon in a color that conveys the state of the Intelligent Tracking: – White: SEEK mode
Intelligent Tracking is actively seeking a target to follow.
–Pink: IDLE mode
Intelligent Tracking lost the selected target and will wait for the target to reappear using the last known trajectory.
Black: ACTIVE mode
Intelligent Tracking is actively tracking a target.
Yellow: PASSIVE mode
Intelligent Tracking attempts to passively track a target while a user has camera control.
Several reasons may cause the Intelligent Tracking to stop tracking a target: – The target has stopped moving while being followed by Intelligent Tracking. – The target has moved behind a static object in the scene. In these instances Intelligent Tracking switches to the IDLE mode (pink eye icon) and waits for the target to reappear in the scene. The camera will restart tracking if a target starts moving in the same area where the initial target stopped moving or if the camera detects an object moving along the last known trajectory.

The SETTINGS page provides access to the configuration menu, which contains all the unit's parameters arranged in groups. You can view the current settings by opening one of the configuration screens. You can change the settings by entering new values or by selecting a predefined value from a list field. There are two options for configuring the unit or checking the current settings: – Basic mode – Advanced mode In Basic Mode the most important parameters are arranged in seven groups. This allows you to change the basic settings with just a few entries and then put the device into operation. Advanced Mode is recommended for expert users or system support personnel. You can access all unit parameters in this mode. Settings that affect the fundamental functionality of the unit (such as firmware updates) can only be altered in the advanced mode. All parameter groups are described in this chapter in the order in which they are listed in the configuration menu, from the top of the screen to the bottom.
CAUTION!
The settings in the advanced mode should only be processed or modified by expert users or system support personnel.
All settings are backed up in the AutoDome 800 Series memory so they are not lost even if the power fails.
Starting Configuration
Click the SETTINGS link in the upper section of the window. The Web browser opens a
new page with the configuration menu.
Navigation
1. Click one of the menu items in the left window margin. The corresponding submenu is displayed.
2. Click one of the entries in the submenu. The Web browser opens the corresponding page.
Making Changes
Each configuration screen shows the current settings. You can change the settings by entering new values or by selecting a predefined value from a list field.
After each change, click Set to save the change.
CAUTION!
Save each change with the associated Set button. Clicking the Set button saves the settings only in the current field. Changes in any other fields are ignored.
7.1 Basic Mode: Device Access

CAUTION!
Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name. Special characters are not supported by the system's internal recording management and may therefore result in the Player or Archive Player being unable to play back the recording.
Password
An AutoDome 800 Series is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access to the unit. You can use different authorization levels to limit access. The AutoDome 800 Series operates with three authorization levels: service, user and live. The highest authorization level is service. After entering the correct password, you can access all the functions of the AutoDome 800 Series and change all configuration settings. With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit and also control cameras, for example, but you cannot change the configuration. The lowest authorization level is live. It can only be used to view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays. You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged in as service or if the unit is not password protected. Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here.
NOTICE!
Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. If a live password is assigned, for example, a service and a user password must also be set. When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.
Confirm password
In each case, enter the new password a second time to eliminate typing mistakes.
NOTICE! A new password is only saved when you click the Set button. You should therefore click the Set button immediately after entering and confirming a password.
7.2 Basic Mode: Date/Time
Device date/Device time/Device time zone
If there are multiple devices operating in your system or network, it is important to synchronize their internal clocks. For example, it is only possible to identify and correctly evaluate simultaneous recordings when all units are operating on the same time. If necessary, you can synchronize the unit with your computer's system settings. Click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's system time to the AutoDome 800
Series.
Time server IP address
The AutoDome 800 Series can receive the time signal from a time server using various time server protocols, and then use it to set the internal clock. The unit polls the time signal automatically once every minute. Enter the IP address of a time server here.
Time server type
Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server. Preferably, you should select the SNTP server as the protocol. This supports a high level of accuracy and is required for special applications and subsequent function extensions.

If a DHCP server is employed in the network for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you can activate acceptance of IP addresses automatically assigned to the AutoDome 800 Series. Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management System, Archive Player, Configuration Manager) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the unit. If you use these applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is retained each time the system is rebooted.
IP address
Enter the desired IP address for the AutoDome 800 Series in this field. The IP address must be valid for the network.
Subnet mask
Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address here.
Gateway address

You can change individual parameter values of a profile and you can also change the name. You can switch between profiles by clicking the appropriate tabs.
CAUTION!
The profiles are rather complex. They include a large number of parameters that interact with one another, so it is generally best to use the default profiles. Change the profiles only once you are fully familiar with all the configuration options. In the default setting, Stream 2 is transmitted for alarm connections and automatic connections. Bear this fact in mind when assigning the profile.
NOTICE!
All parameters combine to make up a profile and are dependent on one another. If you enter a setting that is outside the permitted range for a particular parameter, the nearest permitted value will be substituted when the settings are saved.
Profile name
You can enter a new name for the profile here. The name is then displayed in the list of available profiles in the Profile name field.
Target data rate
You can limit the data rate for the AutoDome 800 Series to optimize utilization of the bandwidth in your network. The target data rate should be set according to the desired picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion. For complex images or frequent changes of image content due to frequent movements, this limit can be temporarily exceeded up to the value you enter in the Maximum data rate field.
Maximum data rate
This maximum data rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending on the video quality settings for the I- and P-frames, this fact can result in individual images being skipped. The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than the value entered in the Target data

Encoding Interval
The figure selected here determines the interval at which images are encoded and transmitted. The image rate in ips (images per second) is displayed next to the text field. Use the slide bar to select a frame rate from 30.00 ips to 1 ips.
Expert Settings
Use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame quality and the P-frame quality to specific requirements, if necessary. The setting is based on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).
GOP Structure
Select the structure you require for the Group of Pictures here. Depending on whether you place greater priority on having the lowest possible delay (IP frames only) or using as little bandwidth possible, you can choose between IP, IBP, and IBBP.
I-frame Distance
This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I-frames will be coded. 0 means auto mode, whereby the video server inserts I-frames as necessary. An entry of 1 indicates that I-frames are continuously generated. An entry of 2 indicates that only every second image is an I-frame, and 3 only every third image etc.; the frames in between are coded as P-frames.
I-frame Quality
This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the I-frames. The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video quality. Alternatively, you can use the slide control to set a value between 9and51. The value 9 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. A value of 51 results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.
P-frame Quality
This setting allows you to adjust the maximum image quality of the P-frames. The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts to the optimum combination of movement and image definition (focus). Alternatively, you can use the slide control to set a value between 9and51. The value 9 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. A value of 51 results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

7.38 Advanced Mode: Alarm
7.39 Alarm Connections
You can select how the AutoDome 800 Series responds to an alarm. In the event of an alarm, the unit can automatically connect to a pre-defined IP address. You can enter up to ten IP addresses to which the AutoDome 800 Series will connect in sequence in the event of an alarm, until a connection is made.
Connect on alarm
Select On so that the AutoDome 800 Series automatically connects to a predefined IP address in the event of an alarm. By setting Follows input 1 the unit maintains the connection that has been automatically established for as long as an alarm exists on alarm input 1.
NOTICE!
In the default setting, Stream 2 is transmitted for alarm connections. Bear this fact in mind when assigning the profile (see Section 7.19 Encoder Profile, page 80).
Number of destination IP address
Specify the numbers of the IP addresses to be contacted in the event of an alarm. The unit contacts the remote stations one after the other in the numbered sequence until a connection is made.
Destination IP address
For each number, enter the corresponding IP address for the desired remote station.
Destination password
If the remote station is password protected, enter the password here. In this page, you can save a maximum of ten destination IP addresses and hence up to ten passwords for connecting to remote stations. If connections to more than ten remote stations

are to be possible, for example when initiating connections via higher-ranking systems such as VIDOS or Bosch Video Management System, you can store a general password here. The AutoDome 800 Series can use this general password to connect to all remote stations protected with the same password. In this case, proceed as follows:
1. Select 10 from the Number of destination IP address list field.
2. Enter the address 0.0.0.0 in the Destination IP address field.
3. Enter your chosen password in the Destination password field.
4. Define this password as the user password for all remote stations to which a connection is to be possible.
NOTICE!
If you enter the destination IP address 0.0.0.0 for destination 10, this address will no longer be used for the tenth attempt at automatic connection in the event of an alarm. The parameter is then used only to save the general password.
Video transmission
If the unit is operated behind a firewall, TCP (HTTP port) should be selected as the transfer protocol. For use in a local network, select UDP.
CAUTION!
Please note that in some circumstances, a larger bandwidth must be available on the network for additional video images in the event of an alarm, in case Multicast operation is not possible. To enable Multicast operation, select the UDP option for the Video transmission parameter here and on the Network page (see Page 105).
Remote port
Depending on the network configuration, select a browser port here. The ports for HTTPS connections will be available only if the On option is selected in the SSL encryption parameter.
Video output
If you know which unit is being used as the receiver, you can select the analog video output to which the signal should be switched. If the destination unit is unknown, it is advisable to select the First available option. In this case, the image is placed on the first free video output. This is an output on which there is no signal. The connected monitor only displays images when an alarm is triggered. If you select a particular video output and a split image is set for this output on the receiver, you can also select from Decoder the decoder in the receiver that is to be used to display the alarm image.
NOTICE!
Refer to the destination unit documentation concerning image display options and available video outputs.
Decoder
Select a decoder of the receiver to display the alarm image. The decoder selected has an impact on the position of the image in a split screen. For example, you can specify via a VIP XD that the upper-right quadrant should be used to display the alarm image by selecting decoder
2.
SSL encryption
The data for the connection, for example the password, can be securely transmitted with SSL encryption. If you have selected the On option, only encrypted ports are offered in the Remote port parameter.

NOTICE!
Please note that the SSL encryption must be activated and configured at both ends of a connection. This requires the appropriate certificates to be uploaded onto the AutoDome 800 Series.
You can activate and configure encryption of the media data (video and metadata) on the
Encryption page (see Section 7.54 Encryption, page 111).
Auto-connect
Select the On option to automatically re-establish a connection to one of the previously specified IP addresses after each reboot, after a connection breakdown or after a network failure.
NOTICE!
In the default setting, Stream 2 is transmitted for automatic connections. Bear this fact in mind when assigning the profile (see Section 7.19 Encoder Profile, page 80).
7.40 VCA
The AutoDome 800 Series contains an integrated video content analysis (VCA), which can detect and analyze changes in the signal on the basis of image processing. Such changes can be due to movements in the camera's field of view. You can select various VCA configurations and adapt these to your application as required. The Silent MOTION+ configuration is active by default. In this configuration, metadata is created to facilitate searches of recordings; however, no alarm is triggered.
1. Select a VCA configuration and make the required settings.
2. If necessary, click the Default button to return all settings to their default values.
VCA Profiles
You can configure two profiles with different VCA configurations. You can save profiles on your computer's hard drive and load saved profiles from there. This can be useful if you want to test a number of different configurations. Save a functioning configuration and test new settings. You can use the saved configuration to restore the original settings at any time.
NOTICE!
If computing power becomes short, the highest priority is always the live images and recordings. This can lead to impairment of the video content analysis. You should therefore observe the processor load and optimize the encoder settings or the video content analysis settings as necessary.
1. Select a VCA profile and enter the required settings.
2. If necessary, click the Default button to return all settings to their default values.
3. Click the Save... button to save the profile settings to another file. A new window is opened, in which you can specify where you want to save the file and what name you want to save it under.
4. Click the Load... button to load a saved profile. A new window opens in which you can select the profile file and specify where to save the file.
VCA configuration
Select one of the profiles here to activate it or edit it. You can rename the profile.

1. To rename the file, click the icon to the right of the list field and enter the new profile name in the field.
2. Click the icon again. The new profile name is saved.
Alarm status
The alarm status is displayed here for information purposes. This means you can check the effects of your settings immediately.
Analysis type
Select the required analysis algorithm. By default, only MOTION+ is available – this offers a motion detector and essential recognition of tampering.
NOTICE!
Additional analysis algorithms with comprehensive functions such as IVMD and IVA are available from Bosch Security Systems, inc. If you select one of these algorithms, you can set the corresponding parameters here directly. You can find information on this in the relevant documents on the product CD supplied.
Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless this was explicitly excluded. Depending on the analysis type selected and the relevant configuration, additional information overlays the video image in the preview window next to the parameter settings. With the MOTION+ analysis type, for example, the sensor fields in which motion is recorded will be marked with rectangles.
NOTICE! On the LIVEPAGE Functions page, you can also enable additional information overlays for the LIVEPAGE (see Section 7.15 Livepage Functions, page 78).
Motion detector (MOTION+ only)
For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met: – Analysis must be activated. – At least one sensor field must be activated. – The individual parameters must be configured to suit the operating environment and the
desired responses.
The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.
CAUTION!
Reflections of light (off glass surfaces, etc.), switching lights on or off or changes in the light level caused by cloud movement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses from the motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended. For indoor surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.
Sensitivity (MOTION+ only)
The basic sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject. The sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.
Minimum object size (MOTION+ only)
You can specify the number of sensor fields that a moving object must cover to generate an alarm. This is to prevent objects that are too small from triggering an alarm. A minimum value of 4 is recommended. This value corresponds to four sensor fields.

Debounce time 1 s (MOTION+ only)
The debounce time is intended to prevent very brief alarm events from triggering individual alarms. If the Debounce time 1 s option is activated, an alarm event must last at least one second to trigger an alarm.
Select Area (MOTION+ only)
The areas of the image to be monitored by the motion detector can be selected. The video image is subdivided into 858 square fields. Each of these fields can be activated or deactivated individually. If you wish to exclude particular regions of the camera's field of view from monitoring due to continuous movement (by a tree in the wind, etc.), the relevant fields can be deactivated.
1. Click Select Area to configure the sensor fields. A new window will open.
2. If necessary, click Clear All first to clear the current selection (fields marked yellow).
3. Left-click the fields to be activated. Activated fields are marked yellow.
4. If necessary, click Select All to select the entire video frame for monitoring.
5. Right-click any fields you wish to deactivate.
6. Click OK to save the configuration.
7. Click the close button X in the window title bar to close the window without saving the changes.
Tamper detection
You can reveal the tampering of cameras and video cables by means of various options. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended.
NOTICE!
The options for tamper detection can only be set for fixed cameras. Dome cameras or other motorized cameras cannot be protected in this manner as the movement of the camera itself causes changes in the video image that are too great.
Sensitivity
NOTICE!
This and the following parameter are only accessible if the reference check is activated.
The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject. The algorithm reacts to the differences between the reference image and the current video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.
Trigger delay (s)
You can set delayed alarm triggering. The alarm is only triggered after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if the triggering condition still exists. If the original condition has been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not triggered. This allows you to avoid false alarms triggered by short-term changes, for example cleaning activities in the direct field of vision of the camera.
Global change
You can set how large the global change in the video image must be for an alarm to be triggered. This setting is independent of the sensor fields selected under Select Area. Set a high value if fewer sensor fields need to change to trigger an alarm. With a low value, it is

necessary for changes to occur simultaneously in a large number of sensor fields to trigger an alarm. This option allows you to detect, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for instance.
Global change
Activate this function if the global change, as set with the Global change slide control, should trigger an alarm.
Scene too bright
Activate this function if tampering associated with exposure to extreme light (for instance, shining a flashlight directly on the lens) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.
Scene too dark
Activate this function if tampering associated with covering the lens (for instance, by spraying paint on it) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.
Scene too noisy
Activate this function if tampering associated with EMC interference (noisy scene as the result of a strong interference signal in the vicinity of the video lines), as an example, should trigger an alarm.
Reference Check
You can save a reference image that is continuously compared with the current video image. If the current video image in the marked areas differs from the reference image, an alarm is triggered. This allows you to detect tampering that would otherwise not be detected, for example if the camera is turned.
1. Click Reference to save the currently visible video image as a reference.
2. Click Select Area and select the areas in the reference image that are to be monitored.
3. Check the box Reference check to activate on-going matching. The stored reference image is displayed in black and white below the current video image, and the selected areas are marked in yellow.
4. Select the Disappearing edges or Appearing edges option to specify the reference check once again.
Disappearing edges
The area selected in the reference image should contain a prominent structure. If this structure is concealed or moved, the reference check triggers an alarm. If the selected area is too homogenous, so that concealing and moving the structure would not trigger an alarm, then an alarm is triggered immediately to indicate the inadequate reference image.
Appearing edges
Select this option if the selected area of the reference image includes a largely homogenous surface. If structures appear in this area, then an alarm is triggered.
Select Area
You can select the image areas in the reference image that are to be monitored. The video image is subdivided into 858 square fields. Each of these fields can be activated or deactivated individually.
