This button gives you access to functions that allow you to set individual image creation
parameters.
•  You can set the resolution of the camera image with this option. The
resolution you set may be di erent from the resolution displayed in the main window
of MxEasy. The camera image in MxEasy's main window will always be displayed
in a 640x480 pixel area, regardless of the image resolution that is currently set
on the camera.
When you click this button, a magnifying glass will appear in the camera image.
Click the plus or minus (+/-) button of the magnifying glass to change the image
resolution of the camera (the new image resolution will soon appear in the camera
image). You can now move the magnifying glass to a new image area.
The section in the magnifying glass area always shows the original resolution of the
camera (one pixel of the camera resolution will appear as one pixel on your moni-
tor). This means that if the image resolution of the camera is set to a value higher
than 640x480 pixels, 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 create a camera image with a custom resolution and size with
this option. To do so, use your mouse to draw a box directly in the camera image.
The window set up using this function will be automatically stored and activated
once you deactivate this button. A selected window can be deleted by pressing the
d
el key on your keyboard.
This function is useful if only certain areas of the camera image are allowed to be
monitored, for example. For more information, see Section 5.5.3

Fast , Normal ,
High ) infl uence the image quality in which the image sensor is to be read. The
camera may require more (

•  If certain areas in the image are meant to remain unrec-
ognizable, you can use this button to obscure these areas with the camera. To
do so, use your mouse to draw one or more boxes directly in the camera image.
Windows set up in this manner will be automatically saved and activated once you
deactivate this button.
