Pentax IC-360 - Manual (Page 39)

Mode: The Main purpose of this menu is to utilize the above preset and grouping
functions. When you click the “Mode” button, the “Mode Setting Dialog” will be
activated.
Mode Selection
- Normal Mode: When a user is using PTZ
control, another user would normally wait
indefinitely until the first user relinquished
control. To prevent this, the administrator
can select the “Give/Take Mode Enable” and
set the time limit for control by each user by
checking the left checkbox.
- Swing Mode: This mode is for automatic
patrolling between two preset points that are
set up in the “New Preset” menu. The
VersaCam will move back and forth between
the two selected points, resting for the
designated number of seconds at each
monitoring point.
- Group Mode: By selecting a preset group at
the “New Group” menu, a user can select a
group he would like to have the VersaCam
patrol automatically. There is no resting
time setting on the group mode because the
preset group has already had this time
established through the “New Group”
registration.
Internal Settings
BLC Mode Select: This setting controls the backlight
compensations (Back Light Control) of the camera. Options
include “BLC Off” for no backlight compensation, “BLC” for
normal compensation, “Super BLC” for extreme backlight
compensation, and “WDR” for Wide Dynamic Range.” Each
of these settings is designed to have an effect on how the
camera handles very high contrast images. Often this is the
result of the subject area including a window with incoming sunlight.
Flickerless Mode Enable: This function prevents the auto-brightness control of the camera from
responding to such light sources as fluorescent lamps. Fluorescent lamps are not actually
illuminated all the time – they switch on and off at a rate of 60 times per second. This flicker can
fool the camera, making the Flickerless Mode necessary to avoid constant changes in image
brightness.
Pan/Tilt Reverse Mode Function
This page allows you to reverse Pan/Tilt control functions. This function is useful when a VersaCam
360 is installed upside down.
