SWITCH SETTINGS
Locate the DIP switch. Then set the switches for your installation.
SW4-1: AGC (Auto Gain Control)
The AGC (automatic gain control) adjusts the image automatically to compensate for changes in light
levels.
Set to ON to enable AGC. Set to OFF to disable AGC. The default is ON.
SW4-2: BLC (Backlight Compensation)
The BLC (backlight compensation) feature compensates for backlit scenes by enhancing objects in the
center of the scene.
Set to ON to enable BLC. Use this setting if a bright backlight is present and the subject in the center
of the picture appears dark or as a silhouette.
Set to OFF to disable backlight compensation. This is the default.
SW4-3: Line Sync
When multiple cameras are connected to the same switching device, vertical roll may occur on the
monitor. AC line lock eliminates vertical roll by locking the frame rate to the power supply frequency.
Each camera output is synchronized to the power supply frequency. (Refer to Vertical Phase Adjustment on page 5 for more information.)
Internal line sync disables line lock and synchronizes cameras internally.
Set to OFF to use AC line lock. Set to ON to use internal line sync. The default is OFF.
SW4-4: Flickerless
In certain lighting conditions, a flicker in the light source may affect camera operation. Flickering can
be caused by a number of conditions, including the quality of the source power and the age and type
of fluorescent bulbs and ballasts.
Set to ON to enable flickerless operation. The camera will remove the effects of flickering when
present. The shutter speed will be set to 1/120 (NTSC) or 1/100 (PAL).
Set to OFF to disable flickerless operation. This is the default.
NOTE: If you enable flickerless operation, you should use AC line lock for best results.
SW4-5: AWB (Auto White Balance)/MWB (Manual White Balance)
Auto white balance is enabled by default (OFF).
To manually set and lock the white balance:
1. Set SW4-5 to OFF.
2. Hold a white background in front of the lens until the video shows all white.
3. While holding the background in place, set SW4-5 to ON. A blue blinking block appears on the
video image for a few seconds. When the block changes to solid green, the manual white
balance process is complete.
SW4-6: Reserved
Do not change SW4-6 from its factory setting. SW4-6 must be set to OFF for Varifocal models; it must
be set to ON for fixed-iris lenses.
4C3438M (5/07)
AUTO IRIS LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the auto iris DC-drive level (refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 on page 3):
1. Tilt or rotate the camera module until you can access the auto iris level control (R19).
2. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the brightness level or counterclockwise to decrease the
brightness level.
VERTICAL PHASE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Use this procedure for 24 VAC operation only.
When using more than one camera power supply, a brief vertical roll may occur on the monitor when
switching from one camera to another.
To eliminate vertical roll, reverse the 24 VAC connections on one camera. If both cameras are
connected to the same transformer, this should solve the problem. If the problem still exists, adjust
the phase control by synchronizing, or line-locking, the cameras to one another.
NOTE: When adjusting vertical phase, line sync (SW4-3) must be set to OFF for AC line lock.
Adjusting Vertical Phase
You may need two people when synchronizing the cameras: one at the camera, the other at the
monitor to observe the vertical roll and the effect of any camera adjustments.
To synchronize the cameras:
1. Choose a reference camera to which all other cameras will be phased.
2. Select the camera to synchronize. Use buttons SW1 and SW2 to synchronize the camera to
the reference camera (refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 on page 3). SW1 increases vertical phase;
SW2 decreases vertical phase.
3. Each time an adjustment is made, switch back and forth between the camera you are
adjusting and the reference camera. Repeat this process as many times as necessary until the
roll between the cameras is no longer noticeable.
4. Adjust the phase of all other cameras by repeating steps 2 through 3. Always adjust to the
reference camera selected in step 1.
NOTE: The preferred method for camera phase adjustment is to use a dual trace oscilloscope to align
the vertical sync pulses of the reference camera to the selected camera(s).
BLEMISH DETECTION
If small white or color spots appear in the video image, one or more pixels on the camera imager may
be defective. (This condition is common for both CCD and CMOS imagers.)
DN, CH, and C Series cameras with auto iris lenses automatically detect and correct defective pixels
during startup. Video turns on, then off, and then on again. If white or color spots still appear, you can
correct the defective pixels manually.
CH and C Series cameras with fixed iris lenses do not automatically detect and correct defective
pixels. You can correct the defective pixels manually.
C3438M (5/07)5
To manually correct defective pixels (refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 on page 3):
1. Cover the lens completely. Make sure no light can enter the lens.
NOTE: The mechanical iris lens aperture does not completely block the light.
2. Press and hold button SW3 for one second. The camera will find and correct defective pixels.
NOTE: Any defective pixels that cannot be completely corrected may still appear.
3. Release button SW3.
4. Uncover the lens for normal camera operation.
DAY/NIGHT OPERATION
NOTE: This section only applies to DN modelcameras.
DN model cameras regularly check the brightness level of the field of view to determine when to
switch between day (color) and night (black-white) operation.
Actual brightness threshold levels are affected by camera angle, amount of zoom, field of view, lens,
and type of lighting. The switching process lasts from seven to 10 seconds.
Figure 3 and Table A show how the camera switches between color and black-white operation.

SWITCH SETTINGS
Locate the DIP switch. Then set the switches for your installation.
SW1-1: Video Format
Set to ON for NTSC. Set to OFF for PAL. The default is ON.
SW1-2: Line Sync
When multiple cameras are connected to the same switching device, vertical roll may occur on the
monitor. AC line lock eliminates vertical roll by locking the frame rate to the power supply frequency.
Each camera output is synchronized to the power supply frequency. (Refer to Vertical Phase Adjustment on page 10 for more information.)
Internal line sync disables line lock and synchronizes cameras internally.
Set to ON to use AC line lock. Set to OFF to use internal line sync. The default is ON.
SW1-3: Interlaced Scanning/Progressive Scanning
Interlaced scanning is the standard for analog recording installations. Each frame contains one odd
and one even field, each processed separately.
Progressive scanning is better for digital recording installations. Each frame is processed as a whole,
which results in less blurring and cleaner digital conversion. It also saves storage space on digital
video recorders.
Set to ON to select interlaced scanning. Set to OFF to select progressive scanning. The default is ON.
SW1-4: AWB (Auto White Balance)/MWB (Manual White Balance)
Auto white balance is enabled by default (ON).
To manually set and lock the white balance:
1. Set SW1-4 to ON.
2. Hold a white background in front of the lens until the video shows all white.
3. While holding the background in place, set SW1-4 to OFF. A green block and a white block
alternate briefly on the video image until the manual white balance process is complete.
SW1-5: Fluorescent/General
Enable this option to adjust the camera for best operation under fluorescent lighting.
Set to OFF for fluorescent lighting. Set to ON for general lighting. The default is ON.
NOTE: If you use fluorescent operation, you should use AC line lock for best results.
SW1-6: General WDR/Maximum WDR
Maximum WDR supports about 36 dB of additional dynamic range over a standard camera. Use it for
installations that require the maximum WDR.
General WDR supports about 20 dB of additional dynamic range over a standard camera. Use it for
installations that do not require the maximum WDR.
Set to ON to select maximum WDR. Set to OFF to select general WDR. The default is ON.
8C3438M (5/07)
SW1-7: DSS (Digital Slow Shutter)
The default shutter speed for NTSC is 30 frames per second (fps). It is 25 fps for PAL. This is also
known as SENS 2X.
You can decrease the shutter speed to 7.5 fps (NTSC) or 6.25 fps (PAL). This is known as SENS 8X,
which improves low light sensitivity.
Set to ON to select SENS 2X. Set to OFF to select SENS 8X. The default is ON.
SW1-8: Day/Night Operation (DW models only)
NOTE: On CW models, SW1-8 is unused and does not affect camera operation.
DW model cameras regularly check the brightness level of the field of view to determine when to
switch between day (color) and night (black-white) operation. Use SW1-8 to set the general light
levels at which the camera will automatically switch.
Set to ON (dark) to use standard thresholds to switch between color and black-white operation. This
is the default.
Set to OFF (dusk) to use higher light thresholds to switch between color and black-white operation.
Actual brightness threshold levels are affected by camera angle, amount of zoom, field of view, lens,
and type of lighting. The switching process lasts from seven to 10 seconds.
Figure 6 and Table B show how the camera switches between color and black-white operation for
each setting.

AUTO IRIS LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
The electronics of the IS90-DW and IS90-CW Series Camclosures automatically adjust the camera to
the auto iris. Auto iris level adjustments are not necessary.
VERTICAL PHASE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Use this procedure for 24 VAC operation only.
When using more than one camera power supply, a brief vertical roll may occur on the monitor when
switching from one camera to another.
To eliminate vertical roll, reverse the 24 VAC connections on one camera. If both cameras are
connected to the same transformer, this should solve the problem. If the problem still exists, adjust
the phase control by synchronizing, or line-locking, the cameras to one another.
NOTE: When adjusting vertical phase, line sync (SW1-2) must be set to ON for AC line lock.
Adjusting Vertical Phase
You may need two people when synchronizing the cameras: one at the camera, the other at the
monitor to observe the vertical roll and the effect of any camera adjustments.
To synchronize the cameras:
1. Choose a reference camera to which all other cameras will be phased.
2. Select the camera to synchronize. Use the phase adjustment control (R7) to synchronize the
camera to the reference camera (refer to Figure 4 or Figure 5 on page 7). Turn R7 clockwise to
increase vertical phase; turn R7 counterclockwise to decrease vertical phase.
3. Each time an adjustment is made, switch back and forth between the camera you are
adjusting and the reference camera. Repeat this process as many times as necessary until the
roll between the cameras is no longer noticeable.
4. Adjust the phase of all other cameras by repeating steps 2 through 3. Always adjust to the
reference camera selected in step 1.
NOTE: The preferred method for camera phase adjustment is to use a dual trace oscilloscope to align
the vertical sync pulses of the reference camera to the selected camera(s).
BLEMISH DETECTION
If small white or color spots appear in the video image, one or more pixels on the camera imager may
be defective. (This condition is common for both CCD and CMOS imagers.)
DW and CW Series cameras have auto iris lenses and automatically detect and correct defective
pixels during startup. Manual pixel correction is not available.
