2 INSTALLATION
2.1 MAKING VIDEO CONNECTIONS
Note: With the Xposure technology, both the BNC (composite) and S-video (Y/C video)
connections provide sharper images of all scenes (especially high-contrast scenes). The S-video connection, however, provides even greater clarity over the BNC connection.
See Figure 2 and perform the following:
Coaxial cable with BNCs between MON.OUT and test or local monitor
Coaxial cable with BNCs between VIDEO OUT and monitor, multiplexer, or switcher
S-video cable between S-VIDEO and monitor
Note: You can connect up
Figure 2. Video connections
to three monitors (or devices) to each camera.
1) Connect a coaxial cable terminated with BNC connectors between the MON.OUT connector of the camera and the video in connector on a test or local monitor.
2) Connect a coaxial cable terminated with BNC connectors between the VIDEO OUT connector of the camera and the video in connector on a monitor, multiplexer, switcher, or other standard video device.
3) Connect an S-video (Y/C video) cable between the S-VIDEO connector of the camera and the video in connector on a high­resolution surveillance monitor.
Note: If you’re not seeing the video quality that you expect with the S-video connection, consult your company’s S-video technician.

Note: When the lens-mode DIP switch is set to DD, you can use the DD level screw (iris level adjustment) to ensure the correct exposure of images for the camera’s position and the lighting conditions. Use an insulated tool to rotate the screw. Observe the results on the monitor screen for the best setting.
Note: The circuitry and programming must be set to the same setting for autoiris lenses. Refer to section 3.2.2.3 Setting the Lens Mode and Adjusting the Defaults.

ETTING THE LENS MODE AND ADJUSTING THE DEFAULTS
While the lens-mode DIP switch sets the camera’s circuitry for controlling the lens, the light control menu options set the camera’s programming. For autoiris lenses, the circuitry and programming must be set to the same setting. In the programming, AIS includes both DIP switch settings (DD and VD). Manual-iris lenses have no DIP switch setting.
Lens-mode settings (i.e., light-control settings in the programming):
AIS for autoiris lenses without amplifier (i.e., DC-type lenses) and autoiris lenses with built-in amplifier (i.e., video-type lenses)
Note: Specify DD or VD using the lens-mode DIP switch. See section 2.2 Setting the Lens-Mode DIP Switch.

The lens mode programming defaults provide optimal performance for most applications. If you need to adjust the autoiris programming defaults, however, two scales are available:
Level for adjusting the gain when the autoiris lens begins to close.
Threshold for adjusting the gain of the autoiris lens control signal.
Note: The threshold adjustment for the AES mode is typically not needed unless color bands are visible in very bright scenes. Raise the threshold to correct.

3.2.2.4 ADJUSTING THE SYNC MODE
CAUTION:
The phase adjustment must be made by a qualified service person.
To reduce the effect of picture roll on the monitor caused by the difference in the vertical interval sync pulses of your equipment (cameras, power supplies, monitors, switchers, etc.), you can synchronize the vertical interval sync pulse of the video source (your cameras). You can use the AC line lock mode to synchronize the pulses of your cameras with other equipment, or you can use the internal sync generator when consistent phasing is not required.
Sync modes:
Line lock: The line lock mode can synchronize all of the cameras in a system by locking their vertical interval sync pulse with the mains frequency of the power source. The same power source must be used to power all cameras in the system for consistent phasing.
Use the line lock sync mode for cameras being powered by
AC power supplies.
Use the V-phase adjustment to adjust individual cameras
when they are powered from sources with differing phases.
Note: Using a DC power supply will cause the sync mode to default to internal synchronization.
Internal: This mode uses the camera’s internal sync generators to generate their vertical interval sync pulses.
Use the internal sync mode for cameras being powered by DC power supplies.
To set the sync mode:
At the Camera Setup menu, use the up and down buttons (

) to move to and between

3.2.4 LOCATIONS (LIGHTING ENVIRONMENTS)
The location settings provide three presets and one customizable setting for defining the lighting environment that the camera is viewing.
General: Use this setting for high-contrast scenes where there is no specific focus on lighter or darker areas.
Outside: Use this setting for outdoor environments or high- contrast scenes where the focus is on the darker areas of the scene.
Office: Use this setting for office environments using fluorescent or tungsten lighting. This setting has the lowest maximum dynamic range of the three preset settings.
