SHUTTER SPEED
Shutter speed is the duration of the electronic shutter. Program shutter speed to operate
automatically (Auto) or manually (Numeric Value).
AUTO (default)The electronic shutter speed is set automatically by the amount of
light sensed by the camera.
NUMERIC VALUESpectra Mini system has several numerical shutter speed
settings. The higher the number, the faster the electronic shutter.
The slowest shutter speed setting is 60 = 1/60 second
The fastest setting is 30,000 = 1/30,000 second
Increasing the shutter speed lowers the light sensitivity and
reduces the streaking of fast moving objects.
NOTE: Set the shutter speed to 100 if you are using an NTSC camera in a 50 Hz environment.
This will eliminate any flicker that may occur in the picture.
AGC LIMIT
The AGC (automatic gain control) Limit adjusts the brightness of the pictures. Settings ranges
from 0 to 40. The brightness increases as the number gets higher.

Auto iris is the lens function that automatically opens and closes the iris in response to changing
light conditions.
Program the auto iris to operate automatically or at a user-defined level.
OFFAuto iris is disabled, and control is always manual.
AUTO (default)The iris is adjusted automatically to produce a constant video
output as determined by the Auto Iris Level setting.
NOTE: If auto iris is in the auto mode, it will remain that way until the iris is manually opened
or closed. The dome will return to auto mode when it is panned or tilted more than 15 degrees.
Auto Iris Level
Auto iris level is the numeric value the auto iris uses to maintain the brightness level of the
camera. Increase the value to brighten the scene. Decrease the level to darken the scene. This
setting can be adjusted if the video level in the auto iris mode is too bright or too dark.
NOTE: If backlight compensation is ON, decrease the Auto Iris Level setting.
Auto Iris Peak
Increasing the peak value will cause the auto iris circuit to react more to highlights or “peaks” in
the picture. Decreasing this value will cause it to use the average video level to adjust the iris.

BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION (BLC)
If a bright backlight is present, the subjects in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette.
Backlight compensation enhances objects in the center of the picture. The dome uses the center
of the picture to adjust the iris. If there is a bright light source outside of this area, it will wash
out to white. The camera will adjust the iris so that the object in the sensitive area is properly
exposed.
There are two backlight compensation settings:
ONBacklight compensation is activated.
OFF (default)Backlight compensation is not activated.
REFERENCE INFORMATION
MANUAL LIMITS SET NO
SCAN LIMITS SET NO
AUTO FLIP
When the camera tilts downward and goes just beyond the vertical position, the dome rotates
180 degrees. When the dome rotates (flips), the camera starts moving upward as long as you
continue to hold the joystick in the down position. Once you let go of the joystick after the dome
rotates, joystick control returns to normal operation. The auto flip feature is useful for following
a person who passes directly beneath the dome.
There are two auto flip modes:
ON (default)Auto flip mode is enabled.
OFFAuto flip mode is disabled.
PROPORTIONAL PAN
Proportional pan automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to the
amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom settings, the pan and tilt speeds will be slower for a given
amount of joystick deflection than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving too
fast on the monitor when there is a large amount of zoom.
There are two proportional pan modes:
ON (default)Enables the proportional pan mode.
OFFDisables proportional pan mode. The pan speed will not depend
on the amount of zoom.

AZIMUTH ZERO
Azimuth is the pan angle from 0° to 359°. Azimuth zero is the pan position you specify to be the
0° point. Azimuth zero is normally set to magnetic north. Once set, azimuth and compass
readings are based on the set Azimuth Zero point.
To program azimuth zero:
1.Use the joystick to position the cursor beside SET AZIMUTH ZERO.
The Spectra Mini dome system has 64 preset positions. Each of the user-definable presets can
be programmed to use pan, tilt, camera settings, and motion detection. The programmable
presets are numbered 1-32 and 35-55.
The following presets are predefined for specific functions:

Window blanking allows a user to program one four-sided, user-defined area that cannot be
viewed by the operator of the dome system. The blanked area will move with pan and tilt
functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.
If a preset scene has window blanking, the image on the screen is blanked out when a preset is
called. When the dome reaches the preset, the blanking is removed and the preset scene is
displayed.
Spectra Mini has two style modes for window blanking, GRAY and SMEAR. If style is set to gray,
the blanked area is covered with a solid gray window. If smear is selected images behind the
window will be noticeable but not distinguishable.
To set the window blanking area:
1.Use the joystick to position the cursor beside WINDOW BLANKING. Press Iris Open. The
WINDOW BLANKING menu appears on the screen.
2.Move the joystick to position the cursor beside SET WINDOW. Press Iris Open to enter.
3.Use the joystick to position the cursor beside EDIT

instructions that appear on the screen. When all four
corners are set, the SET WINDOW menu reappears, the
INSIDE CORNER
blanked area is displayed, and the ENABLE WINDOW option is set to YES.
NOTE: Use the inside corner of the window selection tool as a guide when selecting
the upper left, upper right, bottom right, and bottom left corners of the window.
4.The blanked area can be programmed to turn on or off at a specified zoom point. To set
the zoom point:
a.Use the joystick to position the cursor beside EDIT WINDOW ZOOM, and then
press Iris Open.
b.Zoom in to the point where you want window blanking to turn on. Press Iris Open
to set the zoom point.
NOTE: Since the area is already blanked out, it may be difficult to determine when you
want window blanking to turn on. Reverse the window before setting the zoom point.
When finished reverse the window again to blank out the area.

Software/Language File Upload
The six-pin data port underneath the trim ring of the dome system allows access for on-site
setup, testing, and uploading of revised operating software and language files. A Pelco field
service tool is required to perform these operations. Field service tools include Pelco’s remote
monitor kit (IPS-RMK) and remote monitor cable (IPS-CABLE), both of which must be used with
an adapter cable (IPS-MINIADPT).
For instructions on how to upload revised operating software and language files refer to the
Installation/Operation manual supplied with the field service tool.
NOTE: Only perform software uploads when necessary. Software uploads do not need to be
performed if the dome system is operating properly.
UPLOAD ICON
During a software/language file upload, an icon will appear on the monitor to indicate data is
being transferred to the Spectra dome system (refer to the figure below). The default setting for
data transmission is 115.2 KB per second. Noisy and long-run connections will slow the
transmission rate.
