EXPOSURE

► ACCE (adaptive coLor contrast enhancement)
Enhance the overall color contrast of the image.

► DEFOG
Images in extraordinary environments such as fog or rain or in a very
strong luminous intensity have DR (dynamic range) lower than ordinary
images. This function is a contrast enhancement, which is used to
overcome such shortcomings.

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)

This function illuminates darker areas of an image while retaining the same light level
for brighter areas to even out the overall brightness of images with high contrast
between bright and dark areas.

WDR ON

Notes

• WDR mode will not function when the camera is connected via the ANALOG
connection. WDR mode is an HD-SDI only function.

• If connected to the ANALOG connection, the screen will go black when se­lecting WDR. Press Right or Left on the joystick to select a dierent option.

WHITE BALANCE

This function allows the ability to adjust the color temperature, based on colors being
emitted from dierent light sources. Illumination is generally referred to as color tem-

perature, which is represented in a measurement of kelvin (K).

From the main menu, scroll to WHITE BAL and select one of the 4 following
modes using the Left or Right buttons.

► ATW (
Select this to automatically readjust the white balance each time a change
in the ambient color temperature is detected.

► AWC
Select this to find the optimal luminance level for the current environment,
point the camera towards a sheet of white paper and press the SET button.

► MANUAL
Select this to fine-tune white balance manually. Red/Blue gain values
adjustable.

► AWB (auto White BaLance)
Select this to set the white balance for only one particular environment.
More accurate then ATW, but has to be reset manually when there is a
change in ambient color temperature.

• WHITE BALANCE may not work properly under the following conditions:

1. When the color temperature of the environment surrounding the subject is

2. When the ambient illumination of the subject is dim.

3. If the camera is directed towards a fluorescent light or is installed in a place

auto tracking White BaLance)

where illumination changes dramatically, the WHITE BALANCE operation
may become unstable.

► DEFECT
Sensors could have defects for something wrong in the process of their
storage or manufacturing process. Such defects are called dead pixels,
which consist of two types: static dead pixel and dynamic dead pixel. The
first can be found from the beginning while the second is found over time
after using sensors for a certain period of time. Dynamic dead pixels may
not be visible on the screen of ordinary illumination. However, they can be
made visible by amplifying the analog/digital gain. Dead pixel correction
(DPC) corrects such defects.

• LIVE DPC : Automatic Dead Pixel Correction.

- LEVEL : Level of auto Dead Pixel Correction.

• STATIC DPC : Manual Defect; OFF/ON.

- START : Start Defect compensation; follow the on-screen
instructions.

- LEVEL : Level of Manual Defect.

- SENS-UP : Compensates for defects while SENS-UP is activated.
The higher the level, the more defects will be
compensated.

Notes

• Dead pixels are very rare and almost never occur, and when they do it usually
takes years before they develop. Unfortunately there is no way to predict
their occurrence, but when (and if) they do it’s very uneconomical to replace
a good camera because a tiny pixel is locked permanently white, for instance.
Most users will never use this feature.

UTC MODE

►
Set to MODE 2 if using CE-REMOTE-UTC. Camera must be connected to
an ANALOG source (such as a test monitor) to use the CE-REMOTE-UTC.
