Configuring the Camera
20 Basler IP Camera
Click the White Balance Mask button to open the White Balance Mask Editor as
shown below.
The white balance mask selects the area(s) of the image that will be used by the
camera’s automatic white balancing function when the White Balance Mode
parameter is set to Auto (see Section 3.3 on page 12). Highlighted areas in the
editor will be included in the white balance mask and unhighlighted areas will not.
To highlight an area within the editor, simply left click your mouse and drag the
cursor over the editor screen.
The area under the mask will be used by the automatic white balance control to
define what "white" is. So you should always place the white balance mask over
an area of the image that is truly a white area. If you place the mask over, for
example, a green area of the image, you will find that the color balance in your
captured images is badly skewed when the White Balance Mode parameter is set
to Auto.
Note that you can set the mask so that it covers a single area as shown above or
so that it covers several different areas within the image.
You can use the All On button at the bottom of the screen to highlight all areas of
the editor and the All Off button to unhighlight all areas. Use the Invert Mask
button to swap the highlighted areas and the unhighlighted areas. Clicking the
Load Mask From Camera button will display the mask settings that are currently
saved in the camera.
Any changes you make using the mask editor will not be saved in the camera until
you click the Save Mask To Camera button. The Close button will close the editor.
