Camera Controller
The next menu, Camera Controller, takes advantage of the Digital Signal
Processor (DSP) in the camera to adjust functions traditionally relegated to screw
terminals or DIP switches.
The SurveyorVFT uses fully- and semi-automatic iris control. When autoiris is on,
the Close Iris and Open Iris buttons on a keyboard select the optimum video level
the operator wishes the camera to maintain. This is called the Average Iris Level
and adjusts the iris based on the average intensity of the entire picture. When
autoiris is turned off on the keyboard, the Close Iris and Open Iris buttons directly
regulate the lens aperture.
Selecting the Iris Levels menu displays a sub-menu allowing the user to choose
settings for Average Iris Level, Peak Iris Level or Keypad Autoiris Adjust (autoiris
is the default setting). Average Iris Level is described above and performs the
same setting that the Iris Open and Iris Close buttons do when the dome is in
autoiris mode. Peak Iris Level allows the autoiris to regulate the iris opening
based on the video level (or intensity) of the brightest objects in the picture. The
settings may be combined to optimize each camera’s ability to react to its
location. The Keypad Autoiris Adjust feature prevents an operator from adjusting
the Autoiris level from the keypad, when disabled, which is the default setting.
Note: The SurveyorVFT allows the iris to be switched between auto and manual
in simplex. A temporary message (2 seconds) displays indicating auto or
manual iris whenever the iris mode is switched.
