Configuring the Camera
Basler IP Camera 13
Backlight Compensation - Check the box to enable the camera’s backlight compensation
feature. This feature automatically compensates when the main lighting comes from behind the
image subject.
White Balance Mode - Sets the camera’s automatic white balance mode.
Auto = The camera will automatically adjust the white balance and the white balance
adjustments will be continuously updated as lighting conditions change. The white balance
control will assume average lighting conditions.
The automatic white balance control attempts to continuously balance the intensity of the red,
green, and blue pixels in the captured images so that the white areas of the captured images
always appear white (and not, for example, red tinted or green tinted).
Note that the operation of the automatic white balancing function will be strongly influenced by
the placement of the white balance mask. For more information about the white balance mask,
see page 20.
Auto (limited) = The camera will attempt to identify the type of lighting present (i.e., daylight,
incandescent, fluorescent, etc.) and then will automatically adjust the white balance based on
the lighting type detected. This selection works best when the lighting conditions are uniform.
Daylight = The camera will automatically change the white balance settings so that they are
biased for daylight lighting conditions (a color temperature of 5500 K). Once the settings are
changed, the white balance will stay fixed at that point.
Incandescent = The camera will automatically change the white balance settings so that they
are biased for incandescent lighting (a color temperature of 3000 K). Once the settings are
changed, the white balance will stay fixed at that point.
Fluorescent I = The camera will automatically change the white balance settings so that they
are biased for normal fluorescent lighting (a color temperature of 2700 K). Once the settings
are changed, the white balance will stay fixed at that point.
Fluorescent II = The camera will automatically change the white balance settings so that they
are biased for bright fluorescent lighting (a color temperature of 4000 K). Once the settings are
changed, the white balance will stay fixed at that point.
Manual = White balance is manually controlled. You can set the white balance by using
parameters on the Manual tab.
CTT = This setting is not intended for field use and should be avoided.
Iris Mode - Sets the camera’s iris mode.
Auto = The iris will be automatically controlled by the camera.
Open = The iris is fully open.
Closed = The iris is fully closed.
Manual = This setting is not intended for field use and should be avoided.
The Open and Closed settings can be used to test the functionality of an iris mechanism.
Note that the operation of the automatic iris control will be strongly influenced by the placement of
the auto brightness mask. For more information about the auto brightness mask, see page 21.
