1. About this manual

This user manual describes the OSD (On Screen Display) menu of WAT-2200 Mk-2, the

function setting method by RS232, and the details of each function.

When the settings of the WAT-2200 Mk-2 is changed according to this manual, check to

see that the operation and the effects of the changes made to the camera are acceptable.

The WAT-2200 Mk-2 user’s manual is subject to change by design and the specifications of

the product without notice.

The copyright of the WAT-2200 Mk-2 user’s manual shall belong to Watec Co., Ltd.

Copying in whole or in part without the authorization of the holders permission is prohibited.

2. Configuring the camera function

The function of WAT-2200 Mk-2 can be set by the RC-02 (remote control) or RS232. Utilize the option RC-02 (remote control) to set function through OSD (On Screen Display) menu. By RS232, through communication by the VISCA/Pelco-D/Pelco-P protocol, it is able to set the camera function through not only the OSD menu same as RC-02 but also without displaying the OSD menu. Utilize the option CB-03 (serial communication cable) for the communication. Connect either the RC-02 or CB-03 to the REMOTE terminal on the rear of the camera. You cannot use both these at the same time.

2.1. RC-02 (Remote Control)

Operate the OSD menu by the RC-02. Connect the RC-02 to the REMOTE terminal on the rear of the camera. Remote control unit providing access to adjustments, settings the functions on the OSD menu.

3. LEFT, 4. RIGHT : Change the settings or value on the OSD menu.

5. ENTER : Open the OSD menu. Execute the selected item or function.

③LEFT ④RIGHT

②DOWN ⑤ENTER

2.2. RS232

It is able to operate the OSD menu same as RC-02 by the RS232 communication. It is also able to change the function settings or acquire the current setting without displaying the OSD menu. See the “5.RS232 Command List” for the corresponding command.

Connect the CB-03 to the REMOTE terminal on the rear of the camera and the control equipment such as a PC.

2.3. OSD Menu Operations

All of the camera function can be set by the OSD (On Screen Display) menu. Set the function through the OSD menu operation by the following procedure.

[Open / Close OSD menu]

Press the “ENTER” while the OSD menu is not displayed, or send the "OSD Open"/"OSD

On" command of the RS232, then the OSD menu (MAIN MENU) will be opened. To close

the OSD menu, move the cursor to the "EXIT" and press “ENTER” (send “ENTER”

command).

Figure 4. MAIN MENU is opened

[Shift to Each Setting Menu]

Use the “UP/DOWN” on the RC-02 (“Up/Down” command of the RS232) to move the

cursor to select each OSD menu item, and press “ENTER” (send “ENTER” command) to

open each function setting menu. In the each function setting menu, to go back to the

previous menu, move the cursor to the "RETURN", and press “ENTER”.

Figure 5. Shift to Each Setting Menu

[Change Settings]

Use the “UP/DOWN” on the RC-02 (“Up/Down” command of the RS232) to move the

cursor to select each OSD menu item, and press ”LEFT/RIGHT” (“Left/Right” command of

the RS232) to change the setting of the item that the cursor is matched.

Figure 6. Change Settings

Precautions *Save behavior of settings

The set value is saved immediately on this camera as soon as the settings are changed by the OSD. The settings retains even when the power of the camera is turned off. (*Excluding the DZOOM and function not supported to be saved.) *To retain the DZOOM function, operate the OSD/RS232 (DZOOM SAVE).

*The function not supported to be saved is below. See the “3. Description of Each Function”

for the detail of the function.

PICTURE ADJUST => DISP. FUNCTION => FREEZE FUNCTIONS => WDR => FRAME VIEW SEL

Press “ENTER” to open the setting menu

To go back to the previous menu, move the cursor to the "RETURN", and press “ENTER”

Change settings

3. Functions

Set each function by the OSD menu. Part of the function can be set by the RS232 without

displaying OSD menu. See the “5.RS232 Command List”.

3.1. EXPOSURE

3.1.1. AE MODE

Set control method of shutter, slow shutter, gain and DC iris lens. Default: AUTO

AUTO

Automatically control the shutter speed (including SENS UP), gain and DC iris lens in

accordance with the brightness of the subject.

When a bright subject is imaged, lower the brightness to the target value by the shutter

speed and DC iris lens.

When a dark subject is imaged, heighten the brightness to the target value by the gain and

slow shutter.

The max. and min. of the shutter speed is changed in accordance with the “OUTPUT

FORMAT” setting (Table 5). The longer max. shutter speed, the higher sensitivity for the

subject in the dark, but the video resolution will be lowered.

See “3.1.7” for the DC iris lens and “3.1.5” for the slow shutter.

3.1.3. GAIN

Set the gain while the AE MODE is MANUAL.

The configurable gain is 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 and 72[dB].

3.1.4. AGC MAX

Set the max. value of gain while the AE MODE is AUTO or SHUT FIX.

Selectable from OFF, LOW, MID and HIGH.

AGC MAX = LOW AGC MAX = MID AGC MAX = HIGH

Figure 8. AGC MAX

The max. value of gain is 0dB (OFF), 36dB (LOW), 50dB (MID), 72dB (HIGH).

Default: HIGH

3.1.5. SENS UP

Set the long exposure (slow shutter). The sensitivity will be higher due to extending the

max. exposure time to 1 frame/field, but the video resolution will be lowered. The slow

shutter is set as a multiple of the min. value (the slowest value) of the shutter speed.

The configurable value is OFF, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x9, x10, x12 and x15. Default: OFF

While the “AE MODE” is “AUTO”, the slow shutter (SENS UP) works when it is set as x2 or

more. When the subject is dark until gain reaches the max. value, the slow shutter will start

to work. While the “AE MODE” is “MANUAL”, the slow shutter will be fixed with the selected

setting value of the slow shutter.

3.1.6. AE BRIGHT

Set the target brightness while the AE MODE is AUTO or SHUT FIX. The higher value is set, the brighter it gets when the AE is converged. The setting value range is 0-10. Default: 6

3.1.7. DC IRIS

Open the setting menu by the ENTER operation while the cursor is matched with the DC

IRIS. The following settings are configurable in the menu.

Default: MODE = OPEN, PWM OFFSET ADJ = 127, IRIS SPEED = 3
