AUTO IRIS / MANUAL IRIS
The PSM-10 is equipped with a auto iris function. That means that the brightness of the camera image
adjusts automatically. Using the
IRIS-keys (#16) the auto iris function is switched off. In this mode the
iris can be adjusted manually. When using the ZOOM-keys (#14) the auto iris is switched on again.
The iris controls also the AGC (Auto Gain Control) and ASC (Auto Shutter Control) function (if this
functions are enabled).

PRESET FUNCTION
The PSM-10 offers the possibility to store the current settings as a Preset and recall them by just
pressing one of the three
PRESET-keys (#22) on the remote control. For storing a Preset just adjust
every function as required and then keep one of the PRESET-keys pressed for more than 2 seconds.
An on-screen message informs you, when the Preset is stored.
When Presets are stored as mentioned above, all current settings like zoom, focus, iris etc. are stored.
WHITE BALANCE
Correct white balance adjustment is important for an exact color reproduction!
This means that the
white balance is continuously adjusted automatically. For an exact white balance, 10% of the recorded
image should be white (measurement area is in the center of the image).
For a precise fixed white balance adjustment use the "
One Push" white balance (OWB). This can be
done by completely zooming in a white sheet of paper and pressing the WHITE-key (#18). When the
white balance is stored an on-screen message appears. Setting a "One Push" white balance switches
off the "Auto Tracking" mode (When the unit is switched off and on again the
When the lighting conditions change (e.g. sunlight or different room light) the white
balance should be readjusted!
For specialists:
" Auto Tracking" is the default white balance setting when the PSM-10 is shipped.
"Auto Tracking" mode will
be reactivated).
The PSM-10 can be switched between "Auto Tracking", "One Push" and "Manual"
white balance mode in the on-screen menu.
AUTO SHUTTER CONTROL (ASC) and AUTO GAIN CONTROL (AGC)
The shutter virtually extends the iris-range if the iris is fully closed as much as possible.
The gain virtually extends the iris-range if the iris is fully opened.
The maximum value for AGC can be changed in the on-screen Extra menu.
The behavior of the ASC can be changed with the RS-232 control software.
