Color Settings
The options in the color settings menu control the appearance of the video
picture you get from the camera.
· ATW: Adjusts the settings for Auto Trace White Balance (ATW). ATW
automatically adjusts the picture to accurately show white in response to
varying light conditions. Change the setting towards R (red) or B (blue)
to tell the ATW how to adjust for your specifi c light conditions more
accurately.
· AWB: Auto White Balance works with ATW to maintain accurate levels
of white in the video from the camera. Change the setting towards R
(red) or B (blue) to tell the AWB how to adjust for your specifi c light
conditions more accurately.
· R Gain: Adjusts the saturation of red in the video produced by the
camera. Set this to higher levels to correct for low levels of red in your
picture, or vice versa.
· B Gain: Adjusts the saturation of red in the video produced by the
camera. Set this to higher levels to correct for low levels of blue in your
picture, or vice versa.

Freeze, Automatic Gain Control & Sensitivity
The settings for Automatic Gain Control (AGC) affect the brightness and
picture levels of the video produced by the camera. AGC amplifi es existing
video to help the camera reproduce a video signal at low light levels.
Sensitivity controls adjust how the camera works in low light conditions.
· FREEZE: Freezes the Field or the Frame in a still mode until you select
Off, or until you move the camera with the remote control.
· AGC Levels: Selects the base level of gain control used when automatic
gain control is on.
· SENS: Changing the sensitivity changes how the camera compensates
for low light. The higher the setting is called “Starlight” Mode (square
cursor to the right). In this mode the camera lets more light in when in
the dark, and a better picture results.
