Color Setup
You can fine tune the look of each channel individually by adjusting the HUE,
BRIGHT (brightness), CONTRAST and SATURATION values for each channel. Just
select the SETUP option under the COLOR heading to open the dialog window.
This is useful if peculiar lighting conditions,
a non-standard camera or a conspicuously
colored object in the frame cause the display
to be inconveniently tinted, or over/under
exposed. Basically, this will help fix something
that just doesn’t look ‘right’.
Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button.
HUE: Changes the color mix of the frame (this can have very dramatic results).
BRIGHT: Changes how light all tones in the image appear.
CONTRAST: Increases the difference between the blackest black and the whitest
white in the image. Useful if sections of the image “grey out” but setting the
contrast too high will degrade image quality.
SATURATION: Alters how much color is displayed in the image. The higher the
saturation, the more bright and vivid colors will appear to be. Again, setting this
too high can degrade image quality.
LIVE Viewing - Enabling and Disabling Channels
Monitoring something that you’d rather keep private/secret/unknown to the ca-
sual observer? No problems. You can alter which channels appear when in live
viewing mode, and which ones appear later on.
To do so is simple: simply locate the DISPLAY drop down menu - it only contains
two options, ON or OFF. Simply change the value to OFF and that channel will now
appear to be blank in live viewing mode. Images on the channel in question will
still be recorded - and you’ll see it as normal in playback mode.
Display Time
In the nearby DISPLAY TIME drop down menu, you can select whether you want
to see the time displayed on the channel in either live viewing mode, or when
recording. The time will always be recorded in the event list and in the footage’s
meta-data (the information included in the file such as when it was recorded - you
can access this later) - this simply changes whether or not you see it in the main
view screen.
