1. Introduction
Based on the Television Standard for Full HD Television, HD-SDI products feature 2
Megapixel (1920x1080) pictures in real-time (30fps) transmitted over coax cabling.
Get the advantages of an IP technology without their drawbacks. Get 16:9 megapixel
pictures without network configuration, bandwidth problems and network security risks.
Use existing coax cables and only exchange the cameras and recorders. Get a “real” live
picture and see the things that happen in the now, not a few seconds later. Connect a
monitor directly to a camera using only a HD-SDI-to-HDMI converter.
HD-SDI products are easy to handle, easy to install and produce amazing high quality
pictures.

Here you can configure the lens setting.
LENS [DC, MANUAL] :
If you are using a lens with manual Iris, set this item to MANUAL. If you are using a DC
controlled lens, set it to DC.
9English

If you choose DC, you will be able to select
if the camera is used indoors or outdoors.
The lens and shutter control will be
automatically optimised according the
present situation.
- MODE [INDOOR, OUTDOOR] :
If you choose INDOOR, the Iris and the
shutter are set to fixed values. This will
prevent a “rolling effect” of the image. If you
choose OUTDOOR, the Iris and shutter
settings are flexible and will adjust
accordingly to the current brightness
situation.
6.2. Exposure
When selecting ↵, the following submenu will appear.
The exposure is the amount of light
received by the image sensor and is
determined by the width of lens diaphragm
opening, the amount of exposure by the
sensor (shutter speed) and other exposure
parameters. With this item, users can
define how the Auto Exposure function
BRIGHTNESS [0 ~20] :
This function is used to adjust the brightness of the camera picture.
SHUTTER [OFF, AUTO, 1/25, 1/50, 1/FLK, 1/240, 1/500, 1/1000,1/2000, 1/4000,
1/8000, 1/16000, 1/30000, 1/60000] :
You can select one of 14 options from 1/25 to 1/60000K for the fixed high speed
electronic shutter, which is mostly used for imaging a fast moving object.
SENS-UP [OFF, AUTO, x2~x64] :
Automatically detects the ambient level of darkness in a dark or low contrast scene to
extend the accumulated time, keeping the image bright and sharp.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) [0-20] :
The AGC (Auto Gain Control) function is used to amplify the video signal when it falls
below the set parameter. As the AGC level increases, the overall screen gets brighter
but the level of noise will also increase at the same time.
10 English

6.3. Backlight
To overcome difficult light situations, the GRUNDIG HD-SDI cameras feature different
options to improve the image quality.
HLC (High Light Compensation):
This function is used to surpress or mask a
strong light source (for example, headlights
of cars during night-time) so that other
subjects can be seen in more detail. If you
select HLC, a submenu appears where you
can make finer adjustments.
- HLC LEVEL: Adjust the brightness level
from which on the light source is to be
masked out.
BLC (Back Light Compensation):
This function is used to counterbalance the
screen image by increasing the brightness
so that a subject which appears dark due to
a strong backlight can be displayed in more
detail. If you select BLC, a submenu
appears where you can make finer
adjustments.
- H-POS/ V-POS/ H-SIZE/ V-SIZE: Define
the position and size of the area of interest
by changing the position & size.
WDR:
The WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) function
works to correct excessive light within the
frame to produce a usable image. When the
image has simultaneous bright and dark
areas, it makes both areas distinct. If you
select WDR, a submenu appears where you
can make finer adjustments.
- WEIGHT [MIDDLE, HIGH, LOW]: Select
the WDR level of the camera.
11
English

NOTE: The WDR function might lead to a reduced framerate and “ghost” effects in areas
with very bright background.
6.4. Day&Night
Here you can choose different settings to control the DAY&NIGHT function.
COLOUR: The camera is always in colour mode regardless of the ambient conditions.
B/W: The camera is always in Black & White mode regardless of the ambient conditions.
EXTERN:
Here you can activate the EXTERN function to activate the external Day & Night
connector on the rear panel of the camera. If you select EXTERN, a submenu appears
where you can make finer adjustments.
- DELAY [MIDDLE, HIGH, LOW]: Set the delay time for switching between COLOUR
and B/W.
AUTO:
The camera will automatically switch between DAY and NIGHT mode, according to the
lighting condition. If you press the SET key, the AUTO sub-menu is selected.
- AGC THRES [0-20]: Execute the
Day/Night switch depending on the AGC
level that is used to increase the brightness
of the image. Higher values require a darker
illumination to execute the switch.
- MARGIN [0-20]: Define the difference
between the Day/Night & Night/Day switch
based on AGC THRES. Higher values will
increase this distance and can help to
prevent continuous switching between Day
& Night mode.
12 English

- DELAY [MIDDLE, HIGH, LOW]: Set the delay time for switching between COLOUR
and B/W.
6.5. White Balance
The camera needs to find a reference colour temperature, which is a way of measuring
the colour of a light source, for calculating all the other colours. The unit for measuring
this ratio is in degree Kelvin (K). You can select one of the White Balance Control modes
according to the installation condition.
ATW (Auto Tracking White Balance):
With the Auto Tracking White Balance function, the white balance in a scene will be
automatically adjusted while temperature colour is changing. The ATW Mode is suitable
for environments with a light source having a colour temperature in the range roughly
from 1800 ~ 10500K.
AWB (Auto White Balance):
In this mode, white balance works within its colour temperature range. This mode
computes the white balance value output using the colour information from the entire
screen. It outputs the proper value using the colour temperature radiating from a black
subject.
PRESET:
This mode is set to the current white balance condition and keeps its value. Select this
mode and then press the SET key. If there is a change in location or light source, please
repeat this procedure.
13
English

MANUAL:
Can be used for fine adjustment. Set the
White Balance by first using ATW or AWC
and then change to MANUAL and press the
SET key. Increase or decrease the value of
R-Gain (Red) and B-Gain (Blue) while
monitoring the colour of the image.
- R-GAIN: Adjusts the White Balance for the
colour Red.
- B-GAIN: Adjusts the White Balance for the
colour Blue.
6.6. DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
This function is used to improve the picture quality by filtering the noise which is
generated under low bright light conditions. You can set different levels here.
6.7. Image
When selecting ↵, the following submenu will appear.
Here you can optimise the image quality by
adjusting different options.
