Acronyms
The following acronyms are used in this Manual:
AAE
Aperture Auto Exposure Automatic Iris F-stop value (aperture) of the camera. This will set the depth of field.
AWB
Auto White Balance Automatic white balance setting of the camera. This will make the picture warm (yellow) or cold (blue).
BLC
Back Light Compensation Compensation for filming against back light.
CCM
Customizable Color Matrix Feature with which you can match the colors from the Avonic CM70 series cameras with cameras from other
manufacturers. The colormatrix is a 3x3 "table" that affects red, green and blue in the filmed picture and their relation
to it.
CMOS
Complementary Metal
Oxide Semiconductor
Type of semiconductor technology used in the fabrication of integrated circuits and sensors. CMOS technology is
widely used in various electronic devices such as cameras for example.
DRC
Dynamic Range
Compression
The Dynamic Range Compression setting of the camera. The DRC works by compressing the natural dynamic
range of the image by taking out the darkest and lightest parts.
EV
Exposure Value Artificial setting to make the picture lighter.
HD
High Definition High (video) resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
HDMI
High-Definition Multimedia
Interface
Digital audio and video interface used to transmit high-quality audio and video signals between devices, such as
computers, monitors, cameras and more.
IP
Internet Protocol Protocol that govern the way data packets are transmitted over the internet and other networks. IP provides a
unique address for each device connected to a network, allowing data to be sent and received between devices
across the internet.
MJPEG
Motion-JPEG Video compression format that compresses each frame of a video sequence individually as a JPEG image. Unlike
other video compression formats that use inter-frame compression, MJPEG treats each frame as a separate image,
resulting in higher quality images but larger file sizes compared to other video codecs like H.264 or H.265.
NR
Noise Reduction Camera setting that reduces noise in the picture. Noise is unwanted disturbance that can degrade the quality of
the image. These disturbances may appear as random specks, grain, flickering, or distortions in the video footage.
OSD
On-Screen Display Display menu that appears on your monitor screen when the camera is connected to IP, SDI or HDMI.
PoE
Power over Ethernet Technology that allows electrical power to be transmitted along with data over an Ethernet cable.
PTZ
Pan / Tilt / Zoom Directions to which the lens of the camera can move: Pan (horizontal), Tilt (vertical) and Zoom (zooming in to the
picture to magnify objects on large distance).
RTMP
Real-Time Messaging
Protocol
Protocol used for streaming audio, video, and data over the internet in real-time.
RTSP
Real-Time Streaming
Protocol
Protocol used for controlling the streaming of multimedia data, such as audio and video, over IP networks. RTSP
enables the delivery of real-time media content from a server to clients, allowing users to access and interact with
live or recorded multimedia streams.
SAE
Shutter Auto Exposure Setting that automatically determines the best configuration for the shutter speed. The higher the shutter speed, the
more sharp the picture become.
SDI
Serial Digital Interface Video transmission standard used in the broadcast and professional video production industry to transmit high-
quality, uncompressed digital video and audio signals over coaxial cables.
SKU
Stock Keeping Unit Stock keeping unit used by Avonic. Every camera has an unique SKU with AV-CM (Avonic Camera).
SRT
Secure Reliable Transport Open-source streaming protocol designed for transmitting high-quality video, audio, and data over unreliable or
unpredictable networks, such as the internet.
TCP
Transmission Control
Protocol
Communication protocol in computer networks and the internet. TCP provides a reliable, connection-oriented, and
stream-oriented communication between two devices, typically computers or servers.
UDP
User Datagram Protocol Connectionless communication protocol used in computer networks and the internet. Unlike TCP, UDP does not
establish a dedicated connection between two devices before data transmission.
