Image Correction
The Image Correction controls are designed for setting up the camera brightness,
contrast and gamma. These corrections are programmable with the conversion (lookup)
table of the values. They do not affect any electrical settings of the camera. The gamma
correction is done by the camera hardware.

To use these controls, check the Enable box - the Brightness, Contrast and Gamma
sliders become editable. By default, the values of Brightness, Contrast and Gamma are
set to 0; 0; 1, 00, respectively.
You can restore the default values at any step, just click the Default button on the
Image Correction tab.
Click the Best button to automatically achieve the optimal combination of brightness,
contrast and gamma instead of setting them manually. As the result, the application will
transform the look-up table of 8 and 10 bit to increase the dynamic range.

The SMX-160 camera software does not display changes of the Image Correction look -up table when the Best
button is pressed.
With every change of any Image Correction control, you can view a graphical
interpretation of dependence of the image's changes from the changes of the Image
Correction controls.
Color Balance
The Color Balance Controls are designed for the SMX-160C (color) model to adjust the
ratio of the main induced color components (Red, Green and Blue) of the image. This
correction is performed on the software level and does not affect any electrical settings
of the camera.
To use the Color Balance Controls, set the Enable check box on the Color Balance tab
- R, G and B sliders become editable.
