MxEasy User Manual: Using MxEasy
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.
• Deleting exposure windows: To delete a window, click on the
X button in the upper
right-hand corner of the window or press the
Delete key on your keyboard.
The exposure windows for Dual models are drawn separately for the left and right image.
A Panorama view that stretches seamlessly across both images (the right and left sensors
of the camera) can be created for the D14 Sec 180. This enables the desired exposure
windows to be drawn within this image without a problem.
Defining Exclusion Windows
Exclusion windows exclude unwanted light sources within the exposure windows
from exposure control. In the example image, the lamp in the upper right corner
of the image is excluded (the red area).
Tips For Defining Exclusion Windows
• To create an exclusion window, hold down the
Alt key and use the mouse
to draw a frame.
•
Always position the exclusion windows within exposure windows (exclusion
windows have no eect outside of exposure windows).
The same functions are available for editing exclusion windows as for exposure windows
(move, change size, delete).
Notes
The custom exposure windows– like the predefined exposure windows– are defined
as “global“ for the entire sensor image. These windows do not aect the exposure of
the image, even when PTZ commands are performed.
Exposure and exclusion windows for Hemispheric cameras and cameras with
distortion correction are shown as polygons if the image is panned or tilted, or if the
camera image is switched from Normal to Full Image.
