Product description
This color video camera is the next generation in wide
dynamic range cameras. It uses the latest in UTC
Xposure image analysis technology.
The sensor architecture provides unequaled wide
dynamic range performance and improves how the
camera deals with low-light conditions.
Another revolutionary feature of the UltraView XP3 is
dual-temperature calibration. The UVC-XP3-HR is
calibrated at the factory, so the camera knows how to
adjust gain, white balance, and other settings based on

Installation
This chapter provides information on how to install the
camera.
Video connections
To make cable connections, do the following:
Figure 1: Making the video connections
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.
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.
Attach the lens
Refer to the instructions that came with the lens you
purchased for complete installation instructions of that
lens.
Note: For optimal performance, use an autoiris lens.
To install most lenses, see Figure 4 and do the following:

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.
Set the lens mode
If your lens has a manual iris, ignore this switch. It is for
autoiris lenses only.

Connect power
See Figure 5 and do the following:
Caution: Use direct plug-in UL listed power supplies
marked Class 2 or LPS (limited power source) of the
required output rating as listed on the unit.
Figure 4: Power connection
1. With a screwdriver, loosen the GND and
~AC24V/DC12V terminal screws on the terminal
block.
3. Press Enter (see OSD control pad on page 9) to

Programming
This chapter describes how to navigate the setup menus
to adjust the camera settings.
OSD controls
Use the OSD (onscreen display) setup menus to
program the camera. See Figure 5 below.
There is a menu map on the back page of the manual
that shows an overview of the menus (see “Menu Map”
on page 10.)
Note: If you do not press a button for two minutes, your
changes are saved, and the camera returns to its normal
function.
Figure 5: OSD menu controls
2. Connect a universal 12 VDC, 24 VAC power supply
to the terminal block.
Note: The terminal block is not polarity- sensitive. Either
power lead can be connected to either terminal
connector. There is no need for an isolated ground wire.
The two power terminals can accept any polarity and
any combination of power that equals 12 VDC or
24 VDC.
3. Retighten the terminal screws until snug, ensuring
that the power leads are secure.
4. Supply power to the unit by plugging the power
supply into a proper source.
Note: The power LED illuminates to show that the
camera is receiving power. If it does not illuminate,
check the terminal block connections and the power
source

Fluor 1 This mode uses line lock to eliminate phase
roll under fluorescent lights. Dynamic range is
14 bits. It must be used with a 24 VAC power
supply.
Fluor 2 This mode uses a DC iris lens to reduce
phase roll under fluorescent lights. Dynamic
range is reduced to 12 bits in this mode. With
some fluorescent lights, the roll is slowed
down, but not completely eliminated. This
mode will not function correctly with a manual
iris lens.

objects clearly in front of bright backgrounds
(as in a building lobby, for example).
Outdoor This preset offers the highest dynamic range
of 17 bits and gives priority to rendering the
highlights in the scene. This mode produces
flatter images than modes with lower dynamic

depending on the color temperature of the
scene illumination. It can be manually adjusted
to between 2000 and 11000 Kelvin.
AWB (Auto white b a l a n c e ) – use this mode to
set a specific white balance. Typically this is
done by placing a white object in front of the
