NOTE: Log files will be stored as *.txt files in the 1.8” SSD root directory.

SW UPDATE

NOTE: Firmware upgrade currently uses a force upgrade procedure as outlined in APPENDIX A:

UPGRADING CAMERA FIRMWARE.

Update SW initiates a camera software (firmware) update. If a software update is on the attached media,

you will be given the option to upgrade the camera (earlier firmware version shown for reference ONLY).

For complete, detailed procedure, go to APPENDIX A: UPDATING CAMERA FIRMWARE.

CALIBRATION

Sensor calibration is a process where the camera generates a calibration map to correct for pixel

defects and offsets based on current system and environmental settings. This allows you to perform a

Black Shading calibration of the MYSTERIUM X sensor two (2) different ways; Default (at 24 FPS @ 1/48

SEC) or using your current FPS/Exposure settings.

To calibrate the sensor the image needs to be as dark as possible:

• At a minimum put a lens cap on the lens (WARNING: Not all lens-caps completely block IR. They are

made to protect the lens, not necessarily to block light...)

• Preferably, take of the lens, and use the lens-mount cap provided by RED.

• If possible, use a dark room.

• Just closing the Iris is NOT sufficient.

Additionally a SSD needs to be inserted in the camera to store the raw images during calibration.

Calibration is required:

• If the temperature deviates significantly from the currently used calibration, it is recommended to

recalibrate the sensor.
