WDR
This setting controls digital Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). The camera also supports multi-exposure
WDR (True WDR), which is explained below. True WDR is set from the TV System drop-down list.
Digital WDR improves the image quality of scenes which have very dark areas and light areas in
different parts of the scene. This causes the camera to determine average exposure settings
corresponding to the average brightness of the scene. This results in the dark areas being too dark
and the light areas being oversaturated. The digital WDR implements post-processing enhancement
in order to balance the contrast level received from the sensor, thus improving the image quality.
Select On or Off. Click Set to confirm the setting.
Inverse
The inverse function flips the image 180°. Select On or Off. Click Set to save the setting.
Auto Calibration
Auto Calibration automatically calibrates the camera when a deviation of dome pivot is detected.
The camera constantly aligns itself against vertical and horizontal checkpoints to maintain accurate
operation. Select On or Off. Click Set to save the setting.
2DNR
The 2DNR Noise Reduction function analyzes pixel by pixel and frame by frame to eliminate
environmental noise and deliver optimized image quality, especially in low-light conditions. Select
On or Off. Click Set to confirm the setting.
3DNR
3DNR provides superior noise reduction and is recommended for use in in extra low-light conditions.
It is especially useful for reducing blur with moving objects. Select On or Off. Click Set to confirm the
setting.
OSD
Enable the OSD (On-Screen Display) function to display the camera tilt, angle, and zoom ratio
settings in the Live View pane. Select On or Off. Click Set to save the setting.
Set Pan Zero
Set the current camera position as the Pan Zero (due north) point for the camera. Click Set to save
the setting.
TV System
The camera supports multi-exposure WDR (True WDR), which is implemented by using a
combination of slow- and fast-exposure shutters. The camera uses an algorithm to determine the
optimal mix of regions within the scene from the two shutters in order to adjust the wide dynamic
range of the scene. True WDR is recommended for most lighting conditions is enabled by default.
From the drop-down list, select the video format that matches your TV system and the type of WDR
you prefer:
 WDR 30 fps (NTSC) – Enables the use of True WDR on an NTSC TV system
 WDR 25 fps (PAL) – Enables the use of True WDR on a PAL TV system
 Normal 30 fps (NTSC) – Enables the use of digital WDR on an NTSC TV system
 Normal 25 fps (PAL) – Enables the use of digital WDR on a PAL TV system
Click Set to confirm the setting.
