Camera Focus
The Camera Focus parameter uses two DMX channels to provide 16-bit control of the camera’s
focus function. Auto focus for the camera is active when DMX values = 0–511. The camera
focus can also be manually adjusted from In (Far End) DMX value = 512 to Out (Near End) DMX
value = 65535.
IR Illuminator
The DL.3 fixture is equipped with an illuminator that can output infrared (IR) light. The
IR Illuminator parameter controls both the IR illuminator output and the camera’s infrared
sensing option. DMX values = 0 – 63 turn the illuminator off and set the camera to sense the
visible light spectrum. From DMX values = 64–127, the illuminator remains off, but the
camera’s Auto IR function is ON, detecting ambient infrared light in the environment. The rest of
the DMX range turns the Auto adjustment off and adjusts the amount of IR illuminator output
from FULL (DMX value = 128) to OFF (DMX value = 255).
Camera Shutter
The DL.3 fixture’s internal camera can create slow-motion and choppy-frame effects using the
camera shutter options. The Camera Shutter parameter controls the camera shutter providing
six steps of frame rate control from 1 to 30 frames/second. DMX values = 0 – 63 set Full Auto
Exposure and is the suggested default option.
White Balance Mode
The White Balance Mode parameter adjusts for variation in what is perceived as “White” in
different light conditions. The Auto White Balance mode computes the white balance value
output using color information from the entire image. It outputs the proper value using the color
temperature on a range of values from 3000 to 7500K and is the suggested default setting.
Other settings for this parameter accommodate Indoor and Outdoor lighting conditions.
Orientation
The Camera Orientation parameter can Vertically Invert (Flip) or Horizontally Invert (Mirror)
the camera’s image being viewed by the camera. All four combinations of Vertical and
Horizontal Invert are available.
Camera Effects
The Camera Effects parameter provides several options for manipulating the camera’s image.
This parameter provides the ability to convert the camera’s image to black and white (B&W), or
invert the color (Negative art). A snapshot can also be taken of the camera’s image (Freeze
Frame) with or without one of these effects applied.
