THE DISPLAY FIELD DESCRIPTIONS
Region Selector
The Auto-Trigger Region allows the uses the center point of a user selectable region of the
image, based on the image resolution setting. Selectable regions include:
· Center - specifies that the:
Height will be either 1/4 of the image height, or 16 pixels, whichever is larger, and the
Width will be either 1/4 of the image width, or 128 pixels, whichever is larger.
· Top Left quadrant.
· Top Right quadrant.
· Bottom Left quadrant.
· Bottom Right quadrant.
· Custom Region presently uses the same region as the Center option. However, it will be
user definable region in the future. This region will be definable via the Phantom Camera
Control Software interface.
· Full Screen. (Full image resolution.)
For details on the Region settings see: Phantom Miro Control via "Touch-Sensitive" LCD
Screen>Step-by-Step Procedures>Using Image-Based Auto-Trigger with a Phantom
Miro>Image-Based Auto-Trigger Region Tables.
Sensitivity Selector
The Sensitivity parameter defines both the:
· Area
The percentage of the auto-trigger region that must be active in order for an auto-trigger
event to be generated. A typical percentage value is 10.
· Threshold
The amount a pixel value must change in order to be counted as an active pixel for auto-
trigger purposes. A value of 100 would require a change of approximately half of the full
swing of the camera. A typical threshold setting would be 10.
A larger sensitivity setting means a lower area and threshold.

Miro>Image-Based Auto-Trigger Sensitivity Table.
Update Selector
The Update, (Speed), Selector defines the number of frames between updates of the auto-trigger
reference memory. A value larger than 1 allows the trigger to activate on slower events.
Image changes are evaluated over a time interval of auto-trigger speed/frame rate.
