MxEasy User Manual: Using MxEasy
• The predefined and custom exposure windows are particularly suited for use with
full image recording because the recorded full image of MOBOTIX cameras is not
aected by PTZ commands.
•
If the camera is used primarily as a live camera, meaning that is must display high quality
images even when PTZ commands are used, we recommend using the Automatic
(Visible Area) setting. With this setting, the current visible image section is used as the
exposure window. As long as no digital zoom is performed in the camera, this area is
identical to the full image displayed by the image sensor. When you perform a digital
zoom, the visible area becomes smaller than the full image. This setting optimizes the
exposure of the live image, even when you are performing PTZ commands.
With the Automatic Exposure (PTZ) setting, images recorded using full image recording
are aected by the PTZ commands- whenever the PTZ commands aect the exposure
of the image.
Image settings are done for each lens for Dual cameras, with the exception of D14-180°
models. Click on the Image Settings button to open the shortcut menu and select the lens.
Creating Custom Exposure Windows
The Custom option (from the shortcut menu of the button) allows you to create and edit
individual exposure windows using your mouse.
• Creating exposure windows: Use the mouse to draw a frame within
the camera image in the main window.
• Moving exposure windows: Use the mouse to drag the window
to the desired position. If you move the mouse over the window, it
automatically turns into a hand cursor.
• Modifying exposure windows: Drag the edge of the window using
your mouse to increase or decrease the size of a window. If you move
the mouse in the edge of the window, it automatically turns into a
resize cursor.
