If you are not using the RS232 9-pin D-Sub female to DIN -8 male cable supplied in the box, connect the
controller to the back of the camera as is shown in the respectively figures below for Windows DB-9 and
Mini-DIN-8. The photo below is a picture of the RS-232 interface of the back of the camera.

When connecting multiple cameras through RS-232, use daisy chaining network architecture. Max cable
length for RS-232 is 10-15m.
To connect multiple cameras by RS485, the cameras are attached to a 2-wire twisted pair bus (max length
1200m) that is terminated at both ends with a 120 Ω impedance resistor. The maximum distance from the bus
to the camera or controller is 5m.

Press the power button to turn on the camera. If the position preset 0 has been stored, the position preset 0
will be called up after initialization. Press the power button again to turn the camera off, it will turn to the back
when turned off, this is called the “privacy mode”.
c. Camera select
Up to 4 different cameras can be controlled with 1 IR remote Control. With the camera select buttons (1,2,3,4)
you can select the IR channel the remote control is using. The default camera IR channel is 1.
To control a camera on first use, please select camera 1 (IR channel 1) on the remote control. To control a
second camera you first need to change the IR channel stored in the camera from 1 to 2.
• First turn off the other camera’s in the room you don’t want to change, to prevent
that other camera’s also get changed accidentally.
• Select camera 1 on the remote control, because the camera is still configured to
listen to IR channel 1.
• Press [*]+[#]+[F2] to change the IR channel inside the camera to IR channel 2
• Select camera 2 on the remote control and see if the camera responds to the remote
control.
Key Combinations: (Default IR address is 1)

Note that the F1, F2, F3 and F4 are the colored buttons on the remote.
d. Number Keys
The number keys are used to call presets. Press the number of the preset desired and the camera will res-
pond accordingly (See ‘h’ on how to set & clear presets)
e. Focus + -
Push the button “manual focus” first before using the focus buttons. Focus the camera with the + and – but-
ton. If the camera does not respond check if the camera is set to auto-focus.
f. Auto/Manual Focus
Set the camera in auto-focus or manual-focus. If the camera is configured to auto-focus the buttons “Focus
+ -“ are disabled. When the camera is in “manual focus” modus and the Zoom buttons are used, the camera
automatically switces to auto-focus.
g. Zoom + -
Zoom the camera with these buttons. When the camera is in “manual focus” modus and the Zoom buttons
are used, the camera automatically switches to auto-focus.

h. Set & Clear Preset
A preset is a specific position of a camera that you save into the camera. A preset is assigned to a num-
ber from 0-9. To set a preset first point the camera in a specific directing and a specific zoom position. Now
assign the position to a number with the button “Set Preset”. You can call the preset by pressing the number
0-9 on the remote control.
Set Preset: [SET PRESET]+[<number>]
Call Preset: [<number>]
Clear Preset: [CLEAR PRESET]+[<number>]
If the position preset 0 has been stored, this position will be called after initialization.

Mode: auto
The camera determines the iris and shutter settings. There are a couple of settings to present the
camera with some limits as to what it may do to the image:
EV
on/off and level
EV is Exposure Value, to set this value is to create a quick adjustment to your current exposure
settings if the light conditions require this without actually changing the fundamental values like iris
and shutter. Remember that this is a software setting, take care to not ‘overdo’ the settings or the
picture will become washed out bright or too dark to make out details in shadows.
www.avonic.com

19
Mode: auto - continued
BLC
Back Light Compensation ON/OFF
This setting is to compensate for having to film against bright lighting directly into the lens.
See the pictures below:
BLC: OFF BLC: ON
Flicker
This setting is to set your camera up in such a way that it’s able to cope with the flickering of artificial lighting
in the space where it has to operate. The options are 50Hz, 60Hz and off.
G.Limit
Gain limit is the maximum level of artificial brightness and contrast that the camera may add to the image
automatically. This setting will make a significant difference to the overall picture. Make sure that this setting
is kept ‘within reason’ as it can add noise to the picture in dark areas and produce a washed out greyish
picture.
DRC
Dynamic Range Compression has a similar effect on the picture as the above mentioned gain limit. The DRC
works by compressing the natural dynamic range of the image by taking out the darkest and lightest parts
of the image. This can be a particular helpful setting when the light conditions are challenging. The differen-
ces should be clearly visible in dark parts of the image, they will become lighter/more grey once the level of
DRC is increased.
Manual Mode
In this mode you can set manually the shutter, Iris and DRC options.
Shutter
The first setting to make is the shutter setting. This determines the amount of time per second that the
sensor is exposed. The shutterspeed setting range is 1/25th of a second (40 milliseconds) to 1/10000th of a
second (0.1 milliseconds)
You can imagine that when you shoot video with a shutter time of 1/25th of a second, the video becomes
blurry and overexposed. The faster the shutter is set to open and close, the sharper your filmed object will
become, but the amount of light that falls onto the sensor is also diminished. If you don’t know exactly what
you are doing or the light conditions change a lot, it’s best practice to keep the camera on the automatic
exposure setting.

Manual Mode - Continued
Iris,
The iris is a tool in a lens that regulates the amount of light that passes through the lens and onto the sensor
by altering the diameter of the hole that the light is entering through. The diameter of the hole is measured in
F-stop value. A higher value lets in less light while a lower setting is more light.
The iris setting affects the length of the depth of field. The higher F-stop you use the deeper your depth of field
– and vice versa. This is because the smaller the aperture, the more focused the light beams will be, resulting
in a more focused image.
DRC
Dynamic Range Compression has a similar effect on the picture as the above mentioned gain limit. The DRC
works by compressing the natural dynamic range of the image by taking out the darkest and lightest parts of
the image. This can be a particular helpful setting when the light conditions are challenging. The differences
should be clearly visible in dark parts of the image, they will become lighter/more grey once the level of DRC
is increased.
SAE Mode, Shutter Auto Exposure
In this mode the shutter speed is user adjustable, the camera itself decides the best iris F-stop value for an
optimal exposure setting.
Keep in mind that the shutter speed is the amount of time that each frame of the sensor has been exposed
to light.
To compensate for poor lighting conditions, it is possible to adjust the DRC or Dynamic Range Compression.
The DRC works by compressing the natural dynamic range of the image by taking out the darkest and ligh-
test parts of the image. This can be a particular helpful setting when the light conditions are challenging. The
differences should be clearly visible in dark parts of the image, they will become lighter/more grey once the
level of DRC is increased.
AAE Mode, Aperture Auto Exposure
The camera will automatically set the shutter speed based on the iris F-stop value (aperture) set by the user.
As the camera determines the preferable shutterspeed it is possible in this mode to turn the antiflicker setting
to the required 50Hz or 60Hz to eliminate the effects of a shutter functioning at 1/50th of a second for
example.
In this mode, both the Gain limit and DRC are available to compensate for challenging light conditions.
Bright mode
This mode is to try and create a decent image when the light conditions are exceptionally poor. In this mode
keep the Bright level, Gain limit and DRC as low as possibly acceptable to avoid getting too much noise in the
picture. If the level of noise in the image becomes unacceptable, noise reduction is available to smooth the
picture over.. (See page 23)
