Wide Dynamic Range
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that allows viewing of high contrast scenes that include
both bright and low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).
WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favor an underexposed or overexposed image. By
selecting the lower end of the control, the image is underexposed which provides more detail in areas
of bright but less details in areas of darkness. Selecting the higher end of the control, the image is
overexposed which provides more detail in the dark areas but less details in the bright areas.
A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting
conditions simultaneously, for example, in a warehouse area with an open bay door.
