2. INTRODUCTION
This digital image camera uses a high sensitive color 1/3” interline transfer Charge
Coupled Device (CCD) image sensor, featuring approx.: NTSC = 380,000/ PAL = 440,000
effective pixels, producing pictures reaching 550 TVL of horizontal resolution.
Built-in ICR module provides excellent low lux effect. Remote control is available via
RS-485/ RS-422 or RS-232 (optional) interface.

becomes an ineffective function (data value “---” for D/N Mode will
be shown on the display).
Set to MANUAL, AGC MAX becomes an NA (Not Available)
item.
(2) AGC ADJ: Set AGC MODE to AUTO, AGC ADJ becomes an NA (Not
Available) item.

(3) DAY: Fixed to Color mode.
(4) NIGHT: Fixed to B/ W mode.
2. DAY→NIGHT: The threshold value of color change (from color to B/ W) under
AE mode. Switches to B/W when “Day→Night” ≧“AE Value”.
3. NIGHT→DAY: The threshold value of color change (from B/ W to color) under
AE mode. Switches to Color when “Night→Day” ≦“AE Value”.
4. SENSOR LEVEL
(1) Higher the value: When the environment illumination is insufficient the process of
switching to B/ W will be delayed.
(2) Lower the value: When the environment illumination is insufficient advanced
switching process from Color to B/ W will quickened.
5. FILTER DELAY: The delay time of the system switching from color to B&W mode
when environment illumination change occurs (Filter Delay Time: 0~15 Sec.).
6. When D/N MODE is set to “AE/ DAY/ NIGHT” mode, SENSOR LEVEL and
FILTER DELAY become an NA (Not Available) item.
7. AE VALUE: When D/ N is set to AE, it will reflect the illumination degree of the current scene.
8. SENSOR VALUE: When D/ N is set to SENSOR, it will reflect the illumination
degree of the current scene.
