3. Lens connections
Lens for 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 or 1-inch CCD with a CS or C-mount can be used on
this camera. If the illumination remains stable(e.g. indoors), you can choose
a lens with manual iris adjustment. The camera should be set at AES mode,
so that the shutter speed will be automatically adapted depending on the
illumination. If the illumination changes rapidly, you should choose a lens
with automatic iris (AI) control to ensure optimum exposure of the picture.
Both Video and DC drive AI lens can be used on this camera.
3.1 Video drive auto iris lens (with EE amp)
If a video drive auto iris lens is applied, ensure to
set the lens selector to “VIDEO” position.

 To ensure correct lead connection, refer to the instruction of CCTV lens.
Incorrect connection may result in damage to the lens and camera.
3.3 Manual or fixed iris lens
The exposure control of this camera (electronic shutter control) is fully
automatic. It can compensate a change in the lighting level by a factor of
2000. If this is sufficient for the system, a lens with manually adjustable
or fixed iris can be used. When using this type of lens, the light control of
this camera must be set at AES via OSD control.

 HIST BLC – ON/OFF
The HIST (Histogram) BLC is ideal for
the subject that is slightly less
illuminated and moves around within
the screen. This intelligent BLC
categorize the scene into three different
parts (high-medium-low) according to the luminous intensity and
calculate the histogram of each part. The built-in microcomputer will
detect the contrast of whole scene and turn the BLC on or off
automatically.
Press the “LEFT” or “RIGHT” button to switch the HIST BLC on or off.
 BLC LEVEL (for Histogram BLC)
The compensation level of histogram BLC can be adjusted from 0 to
255. Default value is 13. Increasing the value will enhance the
compensation level.
 WINDOWS BLC – ON/OFF
The WINDOW BLC is ideal for the scene that main object always
stays at the center of the screen. With this BLC mode, compensation
level of the central window is weighted more than the corners of the
scene. This type of BLC helps camera to provide better picture of the
subject with strong back light.
