4 FUNCTIONS
The SCB-12 can be controlled through a key-matrix,
IR-remote control (IR-receiver and IR-remote control
will be required), via Ethernet/LAN, USB or RS-232. For
details regarding further functions please read the
online user manual
www.wolfvision.com/wolf/ma_scb12.pdf
4.1 Zoom
The SCB-12 uses an 12x zoom lens:
f=5.8 to 69.6 mm (F=2.8 to 3.0)
4.1.1 Digital Zoom
The digital zoom is autom aticall y switc hed on at the tele
end of 12x optical zoom range, with progres sive effect
from 1 to 4, giving a total maximum of 48x zoom ratio.
Digital zoom increases the pict ure element size and reduces the resolution.
Still pictures in the memory can also be digitally
zoomed.
4.2 Auto Iris / Manual Iris
The SCB-12 is equipped with an auto i ris function. This
means that the brightness of t he camera image adjusts
automatically. When using the IRIS-keys the auto iris
function is switched off. In this mode the iris can be adjusted manually. When us ing the ZOOM-keys the auto
iris is switched on again.
The auto iris also controls the Auto Gain and Auto Shutter to extend the iris-range.
4.3 Focus / Autofocus
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 s horter distances
are necessary, a high quality close up lens is available.
Please note that objects with very low contrast e.g. a
blank sheet of paper) are difficult to focus. If the
autofocus does not work just move the object slightly.

Basic Functions
4.4 Preset Function
The SCB-12 offers the possibility to store the current
settings as a preset and recall t hem by j ust pres sing the
respective PRESET key on the remote control.
Pressing the FREEZE key for 2 seconds recalls
preset 1.
For storing a preset: adjust any function as required and
then press any one of the PRESET keys on the remote
control for 2 seconds or more. An on-screen message
will inform you when the preset is stored.
When presets are stored as mentioned above, all current settings such as zoom, focus, iris etc. are stored.
The user can also assign specific functions, such as
"Negative", "Negative/Blue", "Black/White" etc. to a
PRESET key in the on-screen menu of the SCB-12.
4.5 White Balance
The correct white balance adjustment is important for
exact color reproduction.
"Auto Tracking" is the default white balance setting
when the SCB-12 is shipped. This means that the white
balance is continuously adjusted automatically.
For an exact white balance, 10% of the recorded image
should be white (measurement area is in the center of
the image).
For a precisely fixed white balance adjustment use the
"One Push" white balance. This can be done b y completely zooming in on a white surface and pressing the
WHITE key. When the white balance i s stored, an onscreen message appears. Setting a "One Pus h" white
balance switches off the "Auto Tracking" mode (when
the unit is switched off and on again the "A uto Track i ng"
mode will be reactivated). When the lighting c onditions
change (e.g. light box, sunlight or dif ferent room light)
the white balance should be re-adjusted!
For specialists: The SCB-12 can be switched between
"Auto Tracking", "One Push" and "Manual" white balance mode in the on-screen menu.
If you work with negative transparencies and a light
box, use a blank (black in the image) piece of the negative film for white balance adjustment!

4.6 Image Memory for 9 images
The SCB-12 has an image memory from which a s tored
image can be output as a still image.
You can store up to 9 images in the memory.
Code
Storing an image: Press one of the MEMORY keys for 2
seconds or more
Recalling an image: Press one of the MEMORY keys
quickly
Splitscreen
By pressing the ALL key a split image with all 9 pictures
of the memory can be displayed.
4.7 Freeze
To capture the current image into memory, use the
FREEZE-key. The captured image is output.
4.8 Image Turn Mode
Picking up a complete vertical (portrait) document or A4
page has always been a critical issue because the
image was always picked up in a horizontal (landscape)
format.
The camera could only use 50% of its pixels to pick up
a vertical (portrait) page. WolfVision's "Image turn"
mode solves this problem.
Just place your document (or other vertical object) on
the working surface horizontally. Zoom in on it completely, so that approx. 90% of the pixels of the built-in
camera are used to pick up the document. Press the
IMAGE TURN key. The SCB-12 turns the picture electronically at an angle at 90º and outputs it correctly with
a much higher resolution t han in normal mode. The left
and right margins are blackened out.
