WHITE BALANCE MODES  
When the camera is adjusted properly, the white parts of a scene should be white, not an-  
other color. Automatic (Full Auto) and fixed (Fixed) modes set the camera’s white bal-  
ance automatically for you, while remote (Full Remote) mode lets you specify the  
camera’s control settings.  
Full Remote – When you choose Full Remote, you can adjust the white balance by  
changing the percent of red or blue in the scene.  
Full Auto – When you choose Full Auto, no further adjustments are required; however,  
you may want to change the speed of the white balance. In Full Auto mode, the white bal-  
ance continuously and automatically corrects the color temperature within a range of 2500  
to 6500 Kelvin.  
When you select Full Auto, the Speed control is active. The speed changes the time interval  
between two successive white balance measurements in the camera. The minimum time in-  
terval for PAL cameras is 20 ms, and the maximum is 2.3 seconds. For NTSC cameras, the  
minimum time interval is 16.67 ms, and the maximum is 2 seconds.  
When the lighting of a scene (related to color temperature) is changing very slowly, a low  
speed white balance adjustment gives you the best performance. However, when the color  
temperature changes fast or often, a high speed white balance adjustment gives you the  
best performance.  
Fixed – Fixed modes have pre-set balance settings. The camera has the following balance  
settings:  
fixed indoor (color temperature of 3200 Kelvin)  
fixed outdoor (color temperature of 5600 Kelvin)  
fixed FL/TL (fluorescent light of approximately 4500 Kelvin)  
VERTICAL PHASE (V-PHASE)  
When two or more cameras share the same monitor or VCR, switching from one camera to  
another may cause the picture to roll on the monitor and cause a temporary recording mal-  
function on the VCR. Rolling occurs when cameras are not synchronized. To prevent rolling,  
the Line-Lock control synchronizes the power supply so that it is in phase with the camera.  
Phase variations in the power supply can cause phase variations between cameras. To cor-  
rect the phase variations, you can change the camera’s V-phase control in 1-degree incre-  
ments to a maximum of plus or minus (+/-) 313 degrees.  
EDGE ENHANCEMENT  
Edge enhancement gives you a sharper picture. Edge enhancement, however, also in-  
creases the noise in the picture. Depending on how you use the camera, you can turn the  
Edge Enhancement control off to reduce the noise in the picture.  
ILLUMINATION CONTROL  
The camera uses the AGC (Automatic Gain Control), Iris, and Shutter controls for illumina-  
tion adjustment. The AGC control is always active. However, depending on the type of lens  
mounted on the camera, either the Iris or the Shutter control is active; both are not active at  
the same time. Fixed-iris and manual-iris lenses activate the Shutter control, and passive  
auto-iris lenses activate the Iris control.  
AGC keeps the output signal of the camera constant for an illumination range. When a  
scene is dark and contains only a few highlights, realistic color is reproduced as the AGC  
automatically amplifies to the maximum level.  
NOTE: If you install an  
electronic lens on the  
CCC40001-2 camera, the  
Shutter control is not valid  
because the electronic shut-  
ter feature is disabled on the  
CCC40001-2 camera.  
Iris and Shutter are both Iris controls.You use the Iris control for mechanical-lens iris con-  
trol, and the Shutter control for an electronic-lens iris. In scenes where background illumina-  
tion forms a highlight compared to the main subject, the subject appears very dark on the  
monitor. (This occurs, for example, when a person stands in front of a window.) You must  
compensate for the lighting by realigning the controls so that the main subject is clear.

HUE  
Hue ensures that a monitor accurately displays colors by correcting the phase of the color  
signal. Hue applies only to NTSC cameras.  
CHANGING THE CAMERA’S CONTROLS  
To change the camera’s controls:  
1. In the Program section, select Program 1, Program 2, or Program 3 depending  
on where you want to save the new settings.  
2. If the correct communications port is not selected, select the port where you installed  
the DB-9 cable.  
3. Select one of the following White Balance controls:  
In normal situations, select Full Auto for all color temperature changes between  
2500 and 6500 Kelvin. When the scene contains 5 percent or less white, Full  
Auto does not perform at an optimum level.  
For incandescent indoor lighting, select Fixed Indoor (fixed-color temperature  
of 3200 Kelvin).  
For clear-daylight, outdoor lighting, select Fixed Outdoor (fixed-color tempera-  
ture of 5600 Kelvin).  
For fluorescent lighting, select Fixed FL/TL (fixed-color temperature of 4500  
Kelvin).  
For special light conditions, select Full Remote (corrects every color tempera-  
ture between 2500 and 6500 Kelvin).  
4. Do one of the following:  
If you selected Full Auto, adjust the speed.  
or  
If you selected Full Remote, adjust the percent of red or blue in the scene as neces-  
sary using the appropriate scroll bar.  
5. Set the V-phase using the scroll bar. If only one camera is connected to a monitor and  
VCR, turn off the Line-Lock control. Turning off this control improves the picture quality.  
6. Set the Edge Enhancement by selecting the On/Off control. If a check mark appears,  
the edge enhancement control is turned on.  
7. Using the appropriate scroll bar, do one of the following:  
If you are setting up an NTSC camera, set the Illumination Control by adjusting the  
Shutter and AGC as necessary.  
or  
If you are setting up a PAL camera, set the Illumination Control by adjusting the Iris  
and AGC as necessary.  
8. If you are setting up an NTSC camera, set the Hue using the scroll bar.
