10 Hand-held Controls

Joystick Overview

The joystick is used to control the PTZ camera motion and navigate through the menu selection on the hand-held contoller’s LCD. The left and right joysticks will both be simultaneously active. Hence, contradictory joystick movement will result in the camera dithering (camera moving back and forth). Both joysticks will also operate identically, which will enable right-handed or lefthanded operation. Pressing the joystick in will have the same results as pressing the ENTER button on the Hand-held Controller. Please be advised that camera pan/tilt speed is proportional to joystick motion. However, the higher level of joystick motion will not have an effect on speed of menu selection. The pan-tilt speed will be proportional to zoom level (Camera head rev. 4.3 or higher). If the camera is mounted upside-down, a setup option “Invert Camera” is used to restore the intuitive up, down, left and right joystick movements.

Joystick - Menu Navigation

The joystick is used to navigate through the various menus. Up/Down joystick movements navigate up and down the menu while Left/Right joystick movements access “drop-down” menu features which appear on-screen associated with primary menu options.

11 Menu Features

11.1 Save Image and Video

Overview

The system stores images in folders in either flash memory or on a CompactFlash (CF) card. A

•

default folder name of “MAIN” is initially created by the PTZ system. New folders may be created using the file manager menu (see “File Manager - Folders”).

• Each image is placed in a folder with an image file name based on date, i.e., YYMMDDXX.BMP,

.JPG or .MPG for video, where YY is year, MM is month, DD is day, and .bmp, .jpg and .mpg are file formats.

• X is a letter, automatically entered in sequence from “AA” to “ZZ” that differentiates files stored on

the same day.

• The system saves the last file name used and recalls it at power up so the next file saved on that

day has the correct name.

• The saved image contains information displayed on the screen at the time the image was saved

(i.e., time, date, zoom level, measurement result and measurement cursors).

• Only frozen images may be stored.

Images with measurement annotations may be saved. After performing measurement operation,

•

13 Measurement Operations

Feature Summary

The Everest Ca-Zoom 6.2 System supports five types of comparison measurements.

•

Length

• PT-Line (Point-to-Line)

• Area

• Multi-Length (Multi-Segment Length)

• Circle Gauge

Comparison measurement uses the size of a known object to measure other objects in the same

• view and plane.

• Such measurements are made using zoomed or unzoomed frozen or recalled images.

• To aid in cursor placement

the optional Parallel Laser accessory provides a reference

measurement on a perpendicular surface. Refer to page 43 for instructions on operating the

laser accessory.

• Although their accuracy is limited, comparison measurements are useful if you want to check the approximate size of many items quickly. Comparison measurements begin by establishing a known dimension as a reference scale.

In the recalled or frozen image, cursors are placed across a known dimension and that dimension

• is entered into the system.

Appendix F - Manual Image Control Features

Auto White Balance

This mode computes the white balance value output using the color information from the entire image. It outputs the proper value using the color temperature radiating from a black subject based on a range of values from 3000K to 7500K as a reference.

One Push WB

Is a fixed WB mode that can be adjusted by the user. It assumes the image is of a white subject occupying more than 1/2 of the image and adjusts the WB accordingly to the current lighting conditions. OPWB data is lost when the camera is powered off and the camera returns to AWB on power on.

Manual Camera Control

The settings of these modes are lost when the camera is powered off and the camera returns to fully automatic operation on power on.

• Brightness Adjusts both the Gain and Iris using an internal algorithm according to the brightness level set by the user. Brightness is controlled by Gain when the image is dark and by Iris when the image is bright.

• Shutter adjusts shutter speed from 1second to 1/10,000sec in 22 steps

• Iris adjusts Iris from f1.6 (PTZ140) or f1.8 (PTZ100 / PTZ70) to Close in 18 steps

• Gain adjusts Gain from -3 dB to 28 dB in 15 steps

Image Button

Adjusts the internal reference brightness level used in the Full Auto mode in 15 steps. This allows the camera to automatically adjust for changing lighting conditions while maintaining the selected brightness of the image.

Image Stabilization

This function helps obtain a stable image free of vibration caused by jarring movements. For a vibration frequency of around 10Hz, correction is approximately 90%

Appendix G - PTZ Parallel Measurement Laser Calibration

• Setup PTZ system. Refer to “System Setup” on page 12.

• Point the camera with the laser attachment tilted away from the PTZ body to allow access to the laser housing.

• Remove the front cap off each laser (fig. 70).

• Turn the lasers on via the camera menu (fig. 71).

Figure 70 Figure 71

• Using a 0.050 in. (1.3 mm) hex key, turn the screw on the side of the laser housing to steer the laser dot in the horizontal plane.

• Turn the screw on the top of the laser housing to steer the laser dot in the vertical plane.

Figure 72 Figure 73

• Point the camera at a target 10 m (30 ft.) away, this should be a flat surface, perpendicular to the camera. Use a scale or a grid to determine the distance between the laser dots, the dots need to be 2 in. (50 mm) apart horizontally (fig. 74).

• Adjust the zoom to the highest optical level until both laser dots are as large as possible in the image. Do not use digital zoom.

• Again, center the laser dots in the image 2 in. (50 mm) apart.

Figure 75

• Replace the front cap on each laser

• The parallel laser dots are now ready for use with the measurement feature. See “Measurement” section on page 67.

Note: Using the procedure above, the dots will be centered when the camera is 30 ft. (10 m)

from its target. If the camera is closer to the object viewed, the dots will appear lower on the image. You may adjust the calibration distance to suit your application’s working distance. It is most accurate to calibrate at a distance further than the actual working distance.
