Pan When the “Zoom 2x” check box is selected, you can move the zoomed array region within the full-array area; this digitally simulates panning and tilting. Panning and tilting are defined as moving the camera image in the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. There are two methods to pan and tilt using the GUI: adjust the vertical and horizontal sliders to move the zoomed array region or enter absolute offsets from the center to shift the zoomed array region. When entering absolute offs

AGC TAB The default settings on the automatic gain control (AGC) tab offer the best image quality for most scenes. You can make AGC adjustments to configure the camera to produce no image or an all black image. Restoring the factory defaults will return the camera to its factory default settings and likely restore normal camera operation (refer to Factory Defaults on page 15). In most cases, leave the AGC mode set to Automatic, and use the ITT Mean and Max Gain settings to adjust the brightne
