Camera Views And Image Settings
• Exposure windows: The MOBOTIX camera sets the exposure window to ensure the
proper exposure/brightness for the live camera image. You can select a predefined
set of exposure windows from the shortcut menu of this button. These windows are
shown in the live image and can be set there. You can specify whether or not the
exposure window will be visible in the camera image (green box) using the
Show
Exposure Windows
option.
• Default settings: Click on this button to restore the default values for all settings.
Notes On Predefined Exposure Windows
• The content of predefined exposure windows is decisive for the camera's exposure
control and therefore for the overall appearance of the image.
• 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.
