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 VALUE - Spectra III SE dome system has several numerical shutter speed
settings. The higher the number, the faster the electronic shutter.
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 slowest shutter speed setting is 2 = 1/2 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.
The AGC (automatic gain control) Limit adjusts the brightness of the picture. Settings range from
0 to 40. The brightness increases as the number gets higher.

AUTO IRIS
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.
OFF - Auto 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:
ON - Backlight 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.
OFF - Auto 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.
OFF - Disables proportional pan mode. The pan speed will not depend on the amount of zoom.

systems with software version

Software version 1.25 or higher includes the software to monitor temperature, pressure, and
dew point for Pressurized Spectra III SE systems.
Sensors strategically placed inside the pressurized dome system continually monitor pressure,
temperature, and dew point. If internal conditions reach unacceptable levels, an alert message
appears on the screen describing the alert condition. Example: If pressure drops below 1 psig,
“LOW PRESSURE” is displayed on the monitor.
The following system conditions will trigger an alert message:
System ConditionAlert Message
Temperature is above 140°F (60°C)HIGH TEMPERATURE
Temperature is below -40°F (-40°C).LOW TEMPERATURE
Pressure is above 11 PSIG.HIGH PRESSURE
Pressure is below 1 PSIGLOW PRESSURE
