Camera Functions
♦
Function Description
1. Auto Electronics Shutter (AES)
When using a DC Drive or Video Drive Auto Iris Lens, turn off the AES. When a Fixed Iris or Manual
Iris Lens is used, turn the AES on to adjust the shutter speed automatically.
2. Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
AGC can automatically amplify the digital signal to adjust are for the difference of light level.
3. Auto Tracking White Balance (ATW) / Auto White Balance (AWB)
When the color difference is too obvious, turn the AWB on to have better balanced color, Set the
switches to ATW to have a normal color picture.
4. Aperture Gain (APG)
APG cam make the picture becomes sharper, switch to OFF for normal mode.
5. Back Light Compensation (BLC)
When BLC is ON, the AGC, AES and IRIS operating point is determined by averaging over the
center area instead of entire field-of-view, so that a dimly-lit foreground object at center area can be
clearly distinguished from brightly-lit backgrounds. When operating the camera outdoor, turn the
BLC on to get clear picture of object on screen. For indoor using or when operating the camera in
low light environment turn, the BLC ON as well.
6. DAY & NIGHT (ICR removable)
The camera provides automatic mode changeover from color to B/W or B/W to color by sensing
different light conditions. It remains at true color mode in the day condition for optimal color and
switched to B/W mode in night condition for clear viewing by removing the Infrared Cut Filter.
7. Flickerless (FLC)
This switch captures the wide and intense range of color of some light sources and adjust the color,
gain, electronic shutter control and tracking balance to produce a good quality color picture.
8. Internal Line Lock (INT / LL)
The Line Lock is designed to stabilize the image. Always switch it on. Line Lock sync is interchange
and only available when with an AC Power source. It's unavailable with 12V DC power.

2. If you are using a C mount lens, screw the lens directly into the camera.
3. If you are using a CS mount lens, remove the C mount lens ring adapter.
4. When using a fixed iris lens, switch the shutter control to AES ON.
5. When using a manual adjustable iris lens, switch the shutter control to AES OFF.
6. When using a Video servo auto iris lens or DC servo auto iris lens, switch the shutter control
to AES OFF.
♦ Auto iris lens connection
1. When using auto iris lens (with EE amp)
Set the lens selector to the "Video" position.

Installation Guide
♦ Connections
1. Keep the cameras' power OFF during the installation.
2. Ensure that the input voltage is correct for the plug pack; both the camera and the plug pack may be
damaged if the voltage is incorrect.
3. Terminate the camera output to 75 ohms.
Use 75-ohm coaxial cable (RG-59/U, RG-6/U, RG-11/U).
Always set the last monitor termination switches to 75 ohms, and set the termination switches of
intermediate monitors to HIGH (HI-Z)

Once the lens is screwed in completely to its mechanical stop position, you will then be
able to rotate lens chassis back to suit the set-up position of the camera.
The back focus adjustment is accessible at the front end of the camera. It allows you to
adjust the back focal length or picture focus.
*Note: it does not apply to all types of lens, please contact with your dealer you
purchased your lens from.
♦ Troubleshooting
Problem What to Check
- No picture appears on the monitor
Is the system power on?
Is the cable connected properly?
Has the lens cap been removed?
Is the illumination proper?
Is the monitor properly adjusted?
- The picture is not clear
Is the lens mount ring proper?
Is the lens clear?
Is the lens properly focused?
Is the monitor terminated properly?
◎Note: If dust adheres to the lens, the picture quality will suffer.
To clean the lens, wipe lightly with a soft cloth or commercially available lens cleaning paper.
