Installation instructions for W10x-HD camera
1. Assemble the Boom Stand according to the bellow picture.
2. Put the stand on a flat and stable working bench and mount the W10x-HD camera
onto the horizontal Boom.
3. Adjust height of the Boom for 245mm Working distance measured from front edge of
the camera. W10x-HD camera with standard optics has a focusing interval of
approximately 190-250mm. Auto focus will not function properly outside this range.
4. Working distance of the camera needs to be decreased according to the bellow if
close-up lenses are attached:

range
1Standard lens (no additional Close-up) ~ 245-190 mm
2+5 Close-up lens (f=200mm) ~ 103 to 90 mm
3+10 Close-up lens (f=100mm) ~ 61 to 54 mm
Note: Working distances are measured from front edge of W10x-HD without UV-filter.
5. Connect the W10x-HD camera to Y/Pb/Pr Component Video inputs of a FULL HD
monitor or TV. Turn on W10x-HD and select Component Source of your TV or LCD.
Laser pointer can be turned on/off via a switch on the back side of the Camera.
6. Connect RS232 cable of W10x-HD to COM port of PC, Laptop or external Control
Unit (optional accessory). Use the included USB-COM converter device if your
computer only provides Serial COM ports. Connect the camera to Power Supply
(MiniDin connector). In case of external Control Unit, please refer to its instructions
manual for more information.
7. Install W10x_HD Camera Control software onto your computer.
8. Start the W10x_HD Camera Control software. You need to select the camera
(Highlight camera) first in order to establish the communication.

Control Description
Optical Zoom 1x-10x optical zoom. In standard W10x-HD camera, the horizontal angle of
view is approximately 45 degrees at 1x and 4.5 degrees at 10x.
Sharpness Adjusts enhancement of edges of the objects in the picture.
Brightness
Gain (electronic amplification of the video signal) and iris (mechanical
aperture of the lens system) is adjusted using an internal algorithm.
Exposure time of the camera is controlled by adding Gain when the object
is dark or its illumination level is low and by decreasing the aperture of iris
when object is bright or illumination intensity is high. When Auto is
selected, Gain and iris of the camera are automatically adjusted.
Bright/Iris
Level
Offsetsthe internal reference brightness level +/-7 steps with 1 step
resolution. Each step corresponds to increase/decrease of the Gain by
1.5dB.
When Iris is enabled iris can be controlled from F1.8 to F26. Higher F-
number will increase depth of focus. Lower F-number will increase light
sensitivity.
Focus
When Auto is selected, focus position is automatically adjusted to the high
frequency content of the picture in a centre measurement area, taking into
consideration the high luminance and strong contrast components. If
camera cannot focus automatically user should focus manually or readjust
Brightness.
Night Vision
Manual ON button enables/disables the Night Vision mode and sets the
picture to black and white. At Night Vision mode the built-in near infrared
cut-off filter is removed from optical system of the camera. The camera
becomes therefore sensitive to near infrared light (?: 680-980 nm).

NIR Vision Enables the Near Infra Red mode. Camera will be sensitive to light
wavelengths from 400nm (blue) to 980nm (NIR).
