18AXIS P33 Series - Video & AudioContrast - Adjust the contrast of the image by raising or lowering the value in this field.White balanceThis is used to compensate for the different colors present in different light sources, to make the colors in the image appearthe same. The network camera can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color. Alternatively,the type of light source can be manually selected from the drop-down list. See the online help files for a description ofeach available setting.Wide Dynamic RangeWide dynamic range improves the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and dark areas in an image.Note: Wide dynamic range is only possible when the Exposure control setting is set to Automatic.Exposure SettingsConfigure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidthconsiderations.Exposure value - Use this slidebar to fine tune the exposure. Increasing the exposure will improve image quality at theexpense of the total frame rate. There may also be an increase in motion blur.Exposure control - Set to Automatic for optimal exposure settings automatically, for example brightness and noise.Flicker-free 50 or 60 Hz is used to remove flicker which can be caused by fluorescent and other light sources. The Holdcurrent option locks the current exposure settings.Enable Backlight compensation - Backlight compensation makes the subject appear clearer when the image background istoo bright, or the subject too dark.Exposure zones - This setting determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. The Auto setting can beused in most situations, but for particular requirements, select Defined and click the Edit button to open the ExposureWindows dialog to custom define the exposure zone.IR cut filter - Set this filter to Off to allow the camera to 'see' infrared light, making the image clearer in low lightconditions, e.g. at night or if using an infrared lamp. If set to Auto, the camera will automatically switch between IR cut filterOn and Off, according to the current lighting conditions. Note that if this IR cut filter is set to Off, the image is in black andwhite.Exposure priority - This defines the balance between image quality and the frame rate. When Motion is prioritized, motionblur is minimized, but the image quality may be reduced with a higher frame rate. A prioritized Low noise will provide betterimage quality with a lower frame rate.Shutter - A smaller value means less motion blur, but requires a well lit scene. A larger value will allow more light in thecamera so that even a low lit scene can produce a good image, but at the expense of increased motion blur.Gain - A lower value means less noise; in dark situations this can lead to a very dark image. A larger value means moreamplification making it possible to observe a dark scene, but with increased noise. When Motion is prioritized the shuttertime is kept as low as possible. When Low noise is prioritized the gain is kept as low as possible. Setting min/max to the samevalues is equivalent to setting a fixed value.Enable automatic iris adjustment - This should always be set to Enabled, except during focusing, or when using a fixed irislens.
