ADJUSTING CAMERA SETTINGS

To adjust backlight compensation and vertical phase, on the 24 VAC power supply open the camera setting controls cover (see Figure 12).

BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION

Backlight compensation controls iris gain and white balance simultaneously. If you have objects in the foreground that appear silhouetted in front of a brighter background, set backlight compensation to on. The foreground objects appear with greater definition.

Note: Compensation might be insufficient when the background is extremely bright.

To set backlight compensation see Figure 13 perform the following.

• To set backlight compensation on, ensure that the jumper is securely in place.

• To set backlight compensation off, remove the jumper.

VERTICAL PHASE

CAUTION:

The phase adjustment must be made by a qualified service person or installer.

The vertical phase of the camera video signal can be synchronized to the phase of the AC power line by using a dual-trace oscilloscope to observe the video output signal (V-rate) of the camera and by adjusting the phase control buttons (see Figure 13) to line up the phases of both signals or by using a KTS-56 V-Phase Adjustment Tool.
