I.R.I.S. 118 - Manual (Page 3)

1.01 Introduction
IRIS 116, 117 and 118 cameras have been especially designed
for practical and extreme operating environments such as
marine, military and emergency service vehicles.
In addition to itʼs remarkably compact and sleek design, the PTZ
is water-resistant and has anti-vibration and anti-corrosion
properties.
1.02 Features
Some of the key features of the 116 series device are as follows:
• Sleek, compact housing measuring only 16cm high
• Extremely simple installation
• High Speed Pan and Tilt movement
• Continuous 360˚ Pan Rotation
• Auto-Flip Tilt Feature
•Proportional Pan and Tilt Speed in accordance with
Zoom level
•Auto Focus
•100 User Definable Preset Positions
• Extremely Sensitive Image Processing for Low Light
Operation.
Day/Night Function
The PTZ-16 features a true mechanical Day / Night filter that
switches the camera from colour to monochrome in low light
conditions for added clarity. The camera can produce clear
pictures even in extremely low-light conditions, as low as 0.01
Lux.
Proportional Speed Control
Proportional pan automatically reduces or increases the pan and
tilt speeds in proportion to the degree of zoom. When zoomed in
(telephoto) the pan and tilt speeds will be significantly slower for
a given amount of joystick movement than at wide zoom
position. This prevents the image from moving too fast on the
monitor when zoomed in.
Lens Control (Auto Focus)
Users can adjust zoom wide and zoom telephoto to a ratio of
either 28 times or 36 times zoom (depending on the model).
Focus is set to auto-focus as standard. Autofocus can be
overridden with certain control interfaces. Similarly, the camera
Iris defaults to automatically but can be overridden with certain
control interfaces.
The following factors may affect autofocus operation:
• Target not central within field of view
• Multiple targets are near and far simultaneously in the
field of view.
•Target object extremely bright, causing lens flare.
•Target moving too fast.
•Target is too dark or too vague.
User Presets (Save / Call)
The PTZ-16 has the facility to learn 100 positions (including
zoom and focus values). Users can then send the camera
automatically to a position by simply selecting the desired preset
position number, or by hitting a dedicated key. Please note,
presets are not available on the KBD-16 v1.
Auto White Balance
The camera automatically adjusts white balance (WB) according
to the amount of background light to provide a true colour
representation of the field of view.
Back Light Compensation (BLC)
If the field of view has a bright background the target subject
may appear dark or as a silhouette as the iris struggles with the
variance of light. Backlight compensation enhances the target
objects in the center of the picture. The camera processor uses
the center of the picture as a focal point from which to adjust the
iris.
Auto Cruise
The camera has the facility to store 39 preset positions into a
ʻcruise listʼ which when actioned will cycle through each position
in the list.
Tours and Scans
The camera has four built in, user definable Tours that allow the
user to set 10 positions per-tour and trigger the camera to
automatically step between each position in sequence with a
pre-determined dwell time between each position.
4 automatic Scan modes are also provided, each with a slow
medium or fast speed level.
