Outline SCB-1
1. OUTLINE
The SCB-1 is an ultra-compact color-camera-module with XGA-resolution (1024x768) and 20 frames per second. With the integrated frame-rate-converter the camera is able to produce a 60Hz or 75Hz XGA-image.
The SCB-1 has a high quality lens with 12x optical zoom and 2x digital zoom. The camera module has an auto-focus.
There are special features like: 9 Presets (remain stored when disconnected from power), Positive/Negative, 4 image memories plus Freeze.
The camera can be controlled by either RS-232 (SCOTI) or by an external connectable key­matrix. It is possible to transfer images via SCOTI at up to 921.600 baud.
Supply-voltage is 12VDC (+/- 10%).
A camera sample includes also the SCB-1 Interface board, a power supply, a high speed RS­232 I/O extension card incl. cables.

5. FUNCTIONS
The SCB-1 can be controlled through a key-matrix or via RS-232 (SCOTI). With the WolfVision SCB-1 Interface board the basic control functions can be done for evaluation-purposes.
5.1 ZOOM
The SCB-1 uses an 12x zoom lens as well as a 2x digital zoom. Optical 12x, f=5.8 to 69.6 mm (F=2.8 to 3.0)
The digital zoom is automatically switched ON at the tele end of 12x optical zoom range, with progressive effect from 1 to 2, giving a total maximum 24x zoom ratio. Digital zoom increases the picture element size and reduces the resolution.
Extended control of zoom:
• Direct zoom position
• Get current zoom position
• Zoom speed selection (15 speeds)
• Digital zoom can switched ON/OFF
• OSD-message or stop of zooming when digital-zoom is entered (selectable)
5.2 FOCUS
The minimum focus distance (MOD) is below 50mm at optical wide end and below 500mm at optical tele end, and is independent of digital zoom. If shorter distance are necessary, a high quality close up lens is available (see optional accessories). An Auto-Focus (AF) function is also available (enabled by default).
Extended control of focus:
• Direct focus position
• Get current focus position
• Manual Focus speed selection (15 speeds)
• Focus can switched to Auto-Focus (permanent), One Push Auto- or Manual Focus
• Auto-Focus region can be switched between center (AF measures in the center area of
the image) and large (measure the complete image)
• Focus Priority: "Auto" - activates Auto-Focus by pressing a ZOOM-key
5.3 IRIS
After power-on AI, ASC and AGC are enabled by default.
Extended control of Iris:
• Direct Iris position
• Get current Iris position
• Manual Iris speed selection (2 speeds)
• Iris Priority: "Auto" - activates Automatic Exposure Mode by pressing a ZOOM-key
• Automatic / manual: Iris, Shutter and Gain

SCB-1 Functions
Auto Iris (AI)
The iris changes automatically according to the brightness of the subject. If ASC and / or AGC are enabled, they change also automatically if necessary.
Auto Shutter Control (ASC)
If enabled, the shutter virtually extends the iris-range if the iris is closed as much as possible. If disabled, the shutter can be set from 1 (very short exposure time) to 1188 (maximum exposure time).
Auto Gain Control (AGC)
If enabled, the gain virtually extends the iris-range if the iris is fully opened. If the AGC is disabled, it can be set to any gain-value from 0dB to 32dB.
Manual Iris
The iris can be opened or closed manually. If ASC or AGC are enabled, they extend the possible adjustment-range. The Iris can also be set directly between 000 to FFF (in hexadecimal), the higher the value, the brighter the picture.
Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation allows you to fine-adjust the image-brightness in steps from -10 (darker) to +10 (brighter) in the auto-iris-mode.
5.4 White Balance
Each time the lighting conditions change, adjust the white balance so that the optimal color reproduction is obtained.
• ATW: Auto Tracking White Balance
The WB is automatically adjusted as the color temperature changes.
• One Push WB: One Push auto tracking White Balance (store values in Manual WB)
(OWB) Press the keys "Shift" + "Freeze" simultaneously, the message "White Balance" appears on the screen while the white level is being adjusted. When the adjustment is done, the message "White OK" appears on the screen. The adjusted level is automatically stored in the memory, even if the camera's power is turned off.
• Manual WB: Manual control of R and B gain (-120 to +120 each)

White balance adjustment errors
If the white balance adjustment is not successful, an error message appears on the screen. If this happens, take the necessary measures.
Error message Description and remedy
White: Too Bright! The video signal level is too high. Take one or more of the following
measures and then perform the OWB again:
• Remove any brightly illuminated objects
• Decrease the illumination
• Close the iris opening
• Decrease the video gain
White: Too Dark! The video signal level is too low. Take one or more of the following
measures and then perform the OWB again:
• Increase the illumination
• Widen the iris opening
• Increase the video gain
White: Out of Range! Place a white sheet of paper and perform the OWB again.
5.5 User-OSD (On Screen Display)
Beside the on-screen-menu and other camera-messages the SCB-1 also allows the user to display his own messages. If the User-OSD is enabled, the SCB-1 displays no own messages, the menu is not selectable.
The camera can display 15 lines of up to 30 characters. The top line can be displayed in the double character height. Following colors can be set: black, red, green, yellow, blue, purple, cyan and white. The color can be set for each line.
5.6 Image Memory
The SCB-1 has an image memory from which a stored image can be output as a still image. You can store four images plus one frozen image in the memory.
Press one of the MEMORY-keys (1 - 4) for 2 seconds to store a image into memory. To recall press the MEMORY-key quickly.
To capture the image into memory, use the FREEZE-key. The captured image is output.
5.7 Preset Function
The SCB-1 offer the possibility of programming 9 presets plus 1 power-on preset for the functions Zoom, Focus, Iris, Positive/Negative and Black/White. Preset 1 to 4 can be stored and recalled be the 4 PRESET-keys on the SCB-1 Interface board. Press one of the PRESET-keys (1 - 4) for 2 seconds to store preset into memory. To recall press the PRESET-key quickly. The presets 5 to 9 can only be controlled via SCOTI (RS-
232).
You can store the current setting as power-on-preset by selecting "Store Power-On-Preset" in the menu. This preset is recalled when the camera is switched on.
