Setting Up Your Camera
Figure 3 shows the factory set DIP switch settings.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is set ON.
Figure 3 Factory Set DIP Switch Settings
Selecting the Lens
Fixed Lens
Set the AES/AI switch on the rear of the camera (see
Figure 3) to AES.
Vari-focal Auto Iris Lens
Vari-focal Auto Iris lenses (Direct Drive [DC] or Video Drive
[VSD]) are connected to the camera via a 4-pin square
socket located at the side of the camera. Set the AES/AI
DIP switch to AI.
To set a different exposure, see Backlight Compensation
(BLC) on page 5.
Direct Drive (DC) Lens
1. Set the VSD/DC switch on the rear of the camera to
DC. Set the AES/AI DIP switch to AI.
2. Slowly turn the IRIS LEVEL potentiometer until the
picture on the monitor is as clear as possible and is not
too bright.

Video Drive (VSD) Lens
Set the VSD/DC switch on the rear of the camera (see
Figure 3) to VSD.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
If there is excessive light (for example, a window exists in a
scene), the camera tries to compensate by reducing the
overall exposure, resulting in the areas surrounding the
window becoming too dark. Turn the BLC switch ON to
eliminate the silhouette effect.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
This feature can improve picture quality when the level of
scene illumination is low. When set to OFF, the maximum
gain is 11 dB. When set to ON, the maximum gain is 30 dB.
Synchronization Selection (LL/INT)
This switch selects the synchronization mode of the
camera. When the camera is connected to an AC supply,
the Line lock (LL) mode is used to lock the camera’s frame
rate to the frequency so that each camera in the system is
triggered at the same point on the supply’s AC cycle. The
default setting is LL.
WARNING! The LL/INT switch must be set to INT
when operating from 12 VDC.
