Configuring the Camera
12 Basler IP Camera
3.3 Image Control Parameters
The parameters in the Image Controls group control the quality of the images captured by the
camera's imaging sensor.
3.3.1 Auto Tab
Exposure Mode - Sets the camera’s exposure mode.
Normal = The camera will automatically adjust exposure time and
gain to maintain good overall image quality as lighting conditions
change.
Fast Shutter = The camera’s automatic exposure and gain
adjustments will be biased toward shorter exposure times suitable
for situations where the camera is viewing fast motion.
Low Noise = The camera’s automatic exposure and gain
adjustments will be biased toward capturing the highest quality,
lowest noise images possible.
Low Light = The camera’s automatic exposure and gain
adjustments will be biased toward longer exposure times suitable
for situations where the camera is operating in low light conditions.
Manual = The exposure time and gain are manually controlled. You
can set the exposure time and gain by using the parameters on the
Manual tab. (If you set the Exposure Mode parameter to manual,
the Shutter Mode and the Gain Mode parameters on the Manual tab
will automatically be set to Manual.)
Note that the operation of the automatic exposure and gain controls will be strongly influenced by
the placement of the auto brightness mask. For more information about the auto brightness mask,
see page 21.
Exposure Offset - Is used to customize the operation of the camera’s automatic controls. Negative
settings will bias the auto controls toward producing darker images. Positive settings will bias the
auto controls toward producing lighter images.
Gamma - Sets the degree of gamma correction applied to captured images. Gamma corrects the
captured images for non-linearities in the human eye’s perception of brightness.
A setting of 100 represents a gamma correction factor of 1, and the appearance of the captured
images will not be changed. A setting of 50 represents a gamma correction factor of 0.5. A setting
of 150 represents a gamma correction factor of 1.5.
Sharpness - Sets the sharpness of the images transmitted by the camera. Higher settings produce
sharper images.
Saturation- Sets the color saturation of the images transmitted by the camera. Higher settings
produce more saturated (colorful) images.
