Color Rolling Reduction (CRR)
OFF : Not used CRR.
CRR : This color roll reduction mode will work with
manual and auto-iris lenses. However, using it
with auto-iris lenses typically results in
noticeable levels of noise in shadows or dark
areas in the image.
CRR2 This color roll reduction mode works with
auto-iris lenses ONLY. Noise levels are
reduced in shadows or dark areas in the
image compared to the noise levelspresent
when using the CRR mode, but, dynamic
range is also reduced further.
