AUTO EXPOSURE  
The automatic exposure feature automatically adjusts the electronic shutter and mechanical iris to set  
the correct exposure. Default settings depend on the selected profile (refer to Table E on page 18.)  
Select one of the following automatic exposure modes:  
BACK  
EXIT  
ESC:  
Select this mode for optimal brightness level by increasing the number of stored fields.  
Select this mode to use the electronic shutter and manual iris to control exposure. As  
NORMAL:  
lighting conditions change, the camera adjusts exposure based on input from the electronic shutter.  
BLC:  
Select this mode for scenes that are strongly backlit. The camera corrects the image to bring out the detail of the subject, such  
as a person entering a building through a door.  
BLC + ESC:  
Select this mode to make objects in the center of the scene brighter. ESC adjusts the shutter speed according to the incident  
light levels.  
ECLIPSER  
The eclipser feature adjusts a foreground image to compensate for a very bright background. With a  
normal auto iris lens, when a bright backlight overcomes a dim foreground subject, the iris may not  
compensate for the scene properly. As a result, details in the image are lost.

shutter speed. When enabled, the shutter speed is set to 1/100 (NTSC) or 1/120 (PAL).  
Select ON or OFF. The default setting is OFF.  
NOTE: This option appears when AUTO EXPOSURE is set to NORMAL or BLC.  
AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL  
Automatic gain control (AGC) automatically adjusts the image when the light level changes. Most scenes benefit from AGC operation.  
Select LOW, HIGH, or OFF. The default setting is LOW.  
DAY AND NIGHT  
This feature specifies how the camera will switch between day (color) and night (B-W) operation.  
Select one of the following day and night options:  
AUTO:  
Switches the filter automatically as light conditions change. The D&N DETECTION and D&N FILTER LIMIT settings appear.  
The camera switches from day to night when the AGC gain level reaches 22 dB. It switches from night to day when the AGC gain  
level reaches 16 dB.  
When AUTO is selected, both the angle of view and the lighting conditions may cause the camera filters to switch constantly.  
COLOR:  
BW:  
Operates the camera in day mode.  
Operates the camera in night mode.  
EXT:  
Enables an external signal to switch between day and night modes (refer to Connecting Day/Night Filter Control on page 14 for

DETECT TIME  
The camera regularly checks the brightness level. When the brightness level crosses the switch threshold and lasts longer than the  
D&N DETECTION setting, the camera switches the filter.  
For example, the headlights of a passing car affect the brightness level in the camera, but not long enough for the filter to switch. The constant  
light from a cloudy day also affects the brightness level in the camera, long enough for the filter to switch.  
Select one of the following options: 5 SEC, 30 SEC. The default setting is 5 SEC.  
NOTE: This option is only enabled when the DAY&NIGHT option is set to AUTO.  
FILTER LIMIT  
In certain lighting conditions, the brightness level may cross the switch threshold quickly. As a result, the camera may constantly switch filters.  
Use this option to indicate how often to test the brightness level.  
Select one of the following detection test intervals:  
OFF:  
Select this option to test the brightness level continuously, according to the D&N DETECTION setting (5 seconds or 30 seconds).  
Select this option to test the brightness level every 10 minutes.  
10 MIN:  
30 MIN:  
Select this option to test the brightness level every 30 minutes.  
The default setting is 10 MIN when the DAY&NIGHT profile is selected. Otherwise, the default setting is OFF.  
After the camera switches filters three times, and after the filter limit interval has passed, an asterisk (*) appears next to this setting.  
This indicates that the detection test has been performed.  
NOTE: This option is only enabled when the DAY&NIGHT option is set to AUTO.

WHITE BALANCE  
The C10DN Series camera offers three white balance options. White balance settings define how the camera processes video images to render  
true colors in a scene. White balance is especially effective in scenes with changing color temperatures. Use it also in installations with  
incandescent, fluorescent, or outdoor lighting.  
Select one of the following white balance modes:  
AUTO:  
In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts the white balance based on the colors in the camera scene. The camera  
continually delivers the best possible image.  
HOLD:  
Use this mode to calibrate the camera to the white balance in a neutral scene. This prevents dominant colors in the target scene  
from affecting white balance (refer to Manual White Balance Calibration on page 28 for more information).  
INDOOR:  
Use this mode for indoor scenes. The white balance gain is set to approximately 2,800°K and does not change as the scene  
colors change.

Camera Synchronization  
Camera synchronization may affect installations that use two or more AC power supplies for multiple cameras. Due to different power phases,  
a brief vertical roll may appear on the monitor when switching between cameras. To eliminate this vertical roll, adjust the phase control to  
synchronize the cameras to one another.  
It may be necessary for two people to communicate when synchronizing cameras, one at the camera and the other at the monitor, to observe the  
vertical roll and the effect of any camera adjustments.  
To synchronize cameras, complete the following steps:  
1. Choose a reference camera to which all other cameras will be phased.  
2. Access V-PHASE ADJ menu for a camera. Press the button up and down to adjust the vertical phase until the camera is synchronized to the  
reference camera.  
A dual trace oscilloscope is recommended, but not required, to adjust camera phase. Align the vertical sync pulses of the reference camera  
to the selected camera.  
3. After making each adjustment, switch back and forth between the adjusted camera and the reference camera. Repeat this process until the  
roll between the cameras disappears completely.  
4. Adjust the phase of all other cameras by repeating steps 2 and 3. Always adjust to the reference camera selected in step 1.  
5. As soon as you finish customizing this and all other camera settings, save your custom settings into the CUSTOM profile. This protects  
them if the camera loses power or if it must be restarted (refer to Profiles on page 18 for more information).  
To adjust phase control:  
1. Select LINE SYNC on the FUNCTION SETTINGS menu. The LINE SYNC menu appears.  
2. Switch the LINE SYNC setting to AUTO.  
3. Select V-PHASE ADJ. The V-PHASE ADJ menu appears.  
4. Press the button up or down to change the PHASE VALUE. On the C10DN-6 (NTSC) camera, the range is 0 (zero) to 52. On the C10DN-6X  
(PAL) camera, the range is 0 (zero) to 62.  
5. Press the center of the button to return to the LINE SYNC menu.  
6. Select EXIT to close the setup menus.  
7. As soon as you finish customizing this and all other camera settings, save your custom settings into the CUSTOM profile. This protects  
them if the camera loses power or if it must be restarted (refer to Profiles on page 18 for more information).

Manual White Balance Calibration  
In some installations, use manual white balance to render the most accurate image color possible. Mixed color applications may affect the  
amount of color adjustment. For example, a small white object on a large blue surface may have a reddish tint. The HOLD white balance setting  
uses a calibration image to identify the correct white level. The camera then uses this white level when adjusting overall image color.  
NOTE: The HOLD white balance setting is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single primary light source.  
For example a C10DN camera is installed in a pan/tilt enclosure inside a clothing store, in a shopping mall. A variety of colors are located  
throughout the store. Overhead lights provide the primary illumination, but some light also enters the store from the mall. As the camera pans a  
section filled with blue clothing, the camera may redden the image to compensate for the blue. When properly calibrated, the camera will not try  
to adjust scenes with predominant amounts of red or blue.  
To calibrate the manual white balance, complete the following steps:  
1. Focus the camera on a neutral color scene. Select a neutral scene with the following characteristics:  
Little or no black  
Not predominantly red  
Not predominantly blue  
No direct light source, such as a lamp or a window  
2. Select WHITE BALANCE on the FUNCTION SETTINGS menu.  
3. Select AUTO. This calibrates the white balance gain to the neutral scene.  
4. Change WHITE BALANCE from AUTO to HOLD. This locks the white balance gain  
into camera memory.  
NOTE: If you change WHITE BALANCE from HOLD to a different mode, the stored manual white balance settings are erased. You will have  
to perform this procedure again.  
5. Select EXIT to close the setup menus.  
6. Focus the camera on the target scene.  
7. As soon as you finish customizing this and all other camera settings, save your custom settings into the CUSTOM profile. This protects  
them if the camera loses power or if it must be restarted (refer to Profiles on page 18 for more information).
