NORMAL - PEAK WHITE INV.
(automatically darkens bright picture areas)
This conventional procedure (white inversion) is suitable for viewing
stationary and moving objects.
The camera automatically darkens the picture areas where
brightness exceeds the peak level. The darkened or deactivated
areas are still visible in the video output signal.
Set the control range between PEAK LEVEL and INV: LEVEL as
required.
Image areas that were previously very bright may become so overexposed due to PEAK WHITE INV. adjustments that they no longer
display a recognizable image.

11.2.3 SYNC (external synchronization)
When using several cameras in a system, image generation time
offset can lead to delays when switching between images from
several cameras on one monitor. To avoid this, image generation
must be synchronized on all cameras in the system.
The cameras can be synchronized using the mains supply
frequency or an external signal.
This table shows and compares various external synchronization
procedures as a function of the type of synchronization signals used
and the type of power supply (DC/AC):

When cables of different lengths are used, set the phase
compensation to compensate for delay differences (LL PHASE and
H PHASE).
i
The LL PHASE setting corresponds to the LL PHASE setting in the
AC LINE LOCK submenu.
TERMINAL – 75 ohm (termination resistor)
If the synchronization cables are connected in bus configuration:
activate the 75 ohm termination resistor on the last camera only.
If the synchronization cables are connected in Y: activate the 75
ohm termination resistor on all cameras
AC LL (mains frequency synchronization)
If an alternating current ( 24 V AC) is used, the camera can be
synchronized using the 50Hz mains frequency (AC Line Lock),
making a synchronization cable unnecessary.
Adjust the phase compensation to balance mains supply phase
offset (L1, L2, L3).
i
The mains supply frequency must be consistent, otherwise image
disturbances will arise.

AE LEVEL (image brightness)
AE LEVEL controls the aperture on DC controlled lenses.
Adjusting the AE LEVEL with video signal controlled lenses
displaces the control range of the lens.
Generally, increasing the AE LEVEL brightens the video image,
while decreasing it makes the image darker.
When using a lens with manual aperture control, the LEVEL settings
should be made with an aperture setting between 8 and 12.
Set the AE LEVEL as required.
VIDEO IRIS (basic aperture setting)
This menu is only effective with video signal controlled lenses. It is
used to adjust the basic aperture setting.
Important: only set the aperture using the method described here!
Other methods are not applicable to this camera!
Direct the camera towards an illuminated object.
Move the ALC regulator to the center position between PEAK and
AVERAGE.
Set the LEVEL regulator of the lens so that a value between 60 and
68 is displayed in the ON-SCREEN menu.
The lens is now set correctly, regardless of the resultant picture
brightness.
