Figure 3-3 AE
BRIGHTNESS
Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from 1 to 10 to darken or brighten the image. The higher the value, the brighter the image is.
EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC, and WDR.
GLOBAL
GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which adjusts lighng distribuon, variaons, and non-standard processing.
● BLC (Backlight Compensaon)
BLC (Backlight Compensaon) compensates light to the object in the front to make it clear, but this may cause the over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.
When BLC is selected as the exposure mode, the BLC level can be adjusted from 0 to 8.
● WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
The wide dynamic range helps the camera provide clear images even under backlight circumstances. WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provides clear images with details.
AGC (Auto Gain Control)
It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light conditions. The GAIN level can be set as HIGH, MIDDLE, or LOW. Select OFF to disable the GAIN funcon.
Note:
The noise will be amplified when the GAIN is on.
SENSE UP
Sense up increases the exposure on a signal frame, which makes a camera more sensitive to light so it can produce images even in low lux condions. You can set the SENS-UP as OFF or AUTO according to dierent light condions.
The SENS-UP funcon will atomically adjust itself to x2, x4, x6, x8, x10, x12, x14, and x16 according to the dierent light conditions.
3.4.2 WB (White Balance)
White balance, the white rendition funcon of the camera, is to adjust the color temperature according to
the environment. It can remove unrealisc color casts in the image. You can set WB mode as ATW, or MWB.
ATW (Aoto Tracking White Balance)
Under ATW mode, white balance is being adjusted automatically according to the color temperature of the scene illuminaon.
MWB (Manual White Balance)
You can set the R GAIN/B GAIN value from 1 to 255 to adjust the shades of red/blue color of the image.

CONTRAST
This feature enhances the dience in color and light between parts of an image. You can set the CONTRAST value from 1 to 10.
SHARPNESS
Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging system can reproduce. You can set the SHARPNESS value from 1 to 10.
COLOR GAIN
Adjust this feature to change the saturaton of the color. The value ranges from 1 to 10.
3D DNR (Digital Noise Reducon)
The 3D DNR funcon can decrease the noise effect, especially when capturing moving images in low light conditions and delivering more accurate and sharp image quality. You can set the DNR value from 1 to 10.
MIRROR
DEFAULT, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.
DEFAULT: The mirror funcon is disabled.
