3.3.2 Editing The Image Settings
Use the Image Formats and Views button to edit the image settings. More buttons open
at the lower edge of the program window, and they can be used to adjust the properties:
• Resolution: You can set the resolution of the camera image here. The resolution you
set may be dierent from the resolution displayed in the main window. Regardless of
the current resolution of the camera, the camera image in the main window is always
displayed with the resolution set here (VGA, SVGA, XGA or MEGA).
You can change the image resolution of a camera by using a zoom tool. You activate
the zoom tool by clicking on the Resolution button. A magnifying glass appears in the
camera image. Click on the plus or minus button on the magnifying glass to change
the image resolution on the camera.
The image area in the magnifying glass always shows the camera's original resolution.
This means that if the image resolution of the camera is set to a value higher than the
resolution of the main window, the magnifying glass area will show an enlarged image
(for example, 2 times or 4 times the size). This function allows you to accurately judge
the image detail provided by the camera and used for the recording.
You can also select the desired resolution in a shortcut menu that you open with the
Resolution button.
• Custom size: You can create a camera image with a custom resolution and size with
this option. This function can be used if only certain areas of the camera image are
allowed to be monitored. When monitoring pumps at a gas station, for example, it
may be useful to resize the image to display only the horizontal strip in the middle that
is of possible interest. This means that the images take up less memory and require
less bandwidth for live display.
