SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
CDR series cameras receive coaxial telemetry via the Video Out BNC connector. These
telemetry signals are passed to a receiver when required via a 20mAtwisted pair connection.
In normal operation, the camera is completely transparent to telemetry commands and
simply forwards them to the receiver. However, when the cameras menu system is being
accessed, telemetry commands are no longer passed to the receiver and are instead used
to issue program instructions to the camera. The camera can be connected in a variety of
options as shown below:

The camera is connected to the monitor
via a telemetry controller (e.g. ZTX3).
Camera setup can be made via the built-
in joystick or remotely using the telemetry
controller.
This system comprises a telemetry
controller, receiver and pan/tilt head. The
camera is connected to the monitor via a
telemetry controller (e.g. ZTX3). The
receiver is connected to the camera via
a 20mA twisted pair connector. The
receiver controls the pan/tilt head
conventionally using telemetry
commands issued by the telemetry
controller. Camera setup can be made
via the built-in joystick or remotely using
the telemetry controller.
Notes
When using DC continuous rotation Pan/Tilt heads, two slip rings will be required for the
20mA twisted pair connection.
Use Belden 8723 or similar for the twisted pair cable. The screen must be earthed.
The recommended coaxial cable is RG59, copper cored. Maximum length is 500m.

WHITE BALANCE
Options: ATW, INDR, OUTDR, FLUOR, USER
There are five colour balance modes. For the majority of applications the ATW (Auto-tracing)
setting will provide excellent colour rendition and is the default setting. For applications
where the illumination is predominantly daylight, the OUTDR (outdoor) setting may provide
improved colour rendition over ATW. Where a mixture of illuminations such as tungsten,
fluorescent and daylight exist, the INDR (indoor) setting may provide the best colour rendition.
Where fluorescent lighting is predominant use the FLUOR (fluorescent) setting.
The USER setting, when selected, will open the WHITE BAL menu shown above. This
menu allows you to set the Red and Blue components of the scene separately.
The factory default setting is ATW
GAMMA
Options: 1.0, 0.80, 0.45
Gamma quantifies the degree of contrast in a scene. Three different gamma settings are
provided: 1.0 (linear), 0.80 and 0.45 (normal). The 0.45 setting increases the definition of
objects in the darker areas of a scene.
In normal operation, the 0.45 setting should be used and is therefore the default setting. In
some applications, and depending upon the scene, the other settings may produce more
satisfactory results.

AGC (AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL)
Options: Off, 10dB, 16dB, 22dB, 28dB, TURBO
The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) parameter sets the maximum amount of gain that the
camera can apply to the signal from the CCD. If there is sufficient light falling on the CCD,
the AGC circuit will not apply any gain. As the light level falls, the AGC circuit increases the
gain until the required video output level is achieved (or the maximum gain reached). Higher
AGC settings provide increased visibility in darker areas of the scene. Note that high AGC
settings may introduce noise into the displayed picture. Factory default is 22dB.
SHUTTER (EI)
Options: AUTO, 1/50, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000
The Shutter and EI (electronic iris) parameter controls the amount of time the CCD is allowed
to charge. This is directly analogous to the shutter speed of a conventional (film) camera.
Faster shutter speeds provide clearer images of moving objects but will result in a darker
picture since the time allowed for the CCD to charge becomes shorter.
The AUTO option electronically compensates for excessive scene illumination by
automatically adjusting the exposure time between 1/50 and 1/100,000s.
The 1/120 option provides a flickerless mode which can be used to minimise the flicker
caused by certain lighting conditions. Factory default is AUTO.

BLC (BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION)
Options: OFF, ON
The backlight compensation feature can be used to eliminate the effect of an area of strong
background lighting in a scene. If a strong background light such as a window exists in a
scene, the camera will try to compensate for it by reducing the overall exposure. This would
mean that the areas surrounding the window would become too dark.
By using the backlight compensation feature, it is possible to select areas of the scene
which may be used to control the exposure. Typically, the object of interest lies in the centre
of the scene and this is the area normally used to calculate the exposure. The edges, where
strong backlighting is likely to be, are ignored.
To facilitate backlight compensation, five windows are provided: Top, Left, Centre, Right
and Bottom. The BLC menu allows you to alter the size and position of the centre window.
The other four windows occupy positions around the centre window at the top, bottom, left
and right of the scene. Their size is determined by the size and position of the centre
window.
Note that these peripheral areas may not always be present. For example if the size and
position of the centre window is such that its extremities include the extreme left and bottom
of the scene, then the Left and Bottom windows will not be available to the user.

BLC (BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION)
The size and position of the centre window is adjusted from the BLC menu by selecting
CENTRE and the RESIZE or MOVE parameter.
Each of the four peripheral windows has an adjustable weighting (0-15) used to determine
its contribution in setting the overall exposure of the scene. A weight setting of 0 means that
the area within the window will not be used to set the overall scene exposure. The weighting
of the centre window is fixed.
The area enclosed by each window is multiplied by its weighting to give an exposure value
for the window. The sum of all five windows is used to calculate an overall exposure value
which is then used by the cameras exposure control circuit.
Example 1.
People entering a shop through a brightly lit doorway are to be monitored. Without backlight
compensation, a person entering the shop would be seen in silhouette because the relatively
bright background would cause the camera to reduce its exposure.
By carefully using the backlight compensation facility, it is possible to size and position the
centre window around the area of interest, i.e. the doorway. By setting the weightings of the
four peripheral windows to zero, only the centre window will be used to calculate the scene
exposure. Therefore a person entering the shop will be clearly displayed.
Example 2.
The camera is required to observe a typical street scene. The sky above the buildings in the
street is very bright thus causing the cameras exposure system to adversely compensate.
Using the backlight compensation feature, position the centre window such that the remaining
Top window covers the sky area. The weighting of the Top window can now be set to zero so
that this area does not affect the exposure. The remaining windows are set to 15. By using
this method the buildings and street will be correctly exposed.
Note
The backlight compensation feature will only work with manual lenses when the shutter
speed is set to AUTO. The BLC feature will work with both DC and video drive Auto-Iris
lenses.

SYNC MENU
This menu is used to select the way the camera maintains frame synchronisation. The
menu changes depending on the sync mode selected.
Options: GENLK, INT, LL
The GENLK option allows you to use an external signal connected to the genlock BNC
connector on the rear of the camera. This option may or may not require the GENLOCK
TERM parameter setting - see below.
H PHASE
Options: adjustable between 0 and 1023
The Horizontal Phase adjust parameter provides a means of adjusting the horizontal trigger
position relative to the genlock signal. Although the default value should be correct for most
situations, adjustments may be needed for long cable runs.
V PHASE
Options: adjustable between 0 and 624
The Vertical Phase parameter allows the trigger point to be adjusted to align the field
synchronisation. One adjustment step is equal to one TV line.
GENLOCK TERM
Options: ON, OFF
In order for the genlock option to operate correctly, both ends of the genlock cable need to
be terminated. Cameras may be connected in one of two ways:
a) The genlock signal may be sent to each camera individually. In this case, the genlock
termination parameter needs to be set to ON.
b) The genlock signal may be sent to several cameras in a daisy-chain configuration i.e.
one camera feeds the next and so on. In this case, the genlock termination parameter
needs to be set to OFF for all of the cameras in the system except the last in the chain
which should be set to ON.
SC PHASE
Options: 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270 and 315 degrees
The Sub Carrier Phase adjustment parameter is used when an external genlock signal is
being used to synchronise a colour camera. It is used to adjust the sub carrier phase with
respect to the genlock signal. Select the setting that gives the strongest hues for the viewed
scene.
