3. Functions and Adjustment method
3.1. Automatic Exposure
3.1.1. Wide dynamic range
“Dynamic range” is to describe the intensity ratio between maximum and minimum illumination in an
image. Standard cameras have narrow dynamic range; therefore, white out and/or silhouetting
phenomenon occurs when a subject contains any objects with excessive difference in illumination
intensity, for example, backlight circumstances. The WAT-1000 is able to provide a natural image to
the human eye by greatly reducing white out and silhouetting occurring.
The wider the dynamic range, the more the camera is able to cope with high contrast situations and
present a clear picture of the contrasting areas; however, if the dynamic range is too wide, a blur
image with low contrast will be evident. The WAT-1000 prevents contrast degradation by
automatically controlling its dynamic range according to the illuminance ratio of a subject. In addition,
the maximum value of the WAT-1000 dynamic range can be fixed on the OSD menu, “DYNAMIC
RANGE”.
To take an image with excessively varied intensity of illiminations and the desire to have a clear
picture in both bright and dark areas at the same time, select “HI” on the DYNAMIC RANGE setting.
Meanwhile, to take an image with less varied intensity of illumination or paying attention to either the
bright area or the dark area, select “MEDIUM” or “LOW”. The default setting is MEDIUM.

3.1.2. Electronic shutter
The WAT-1000 has an electronic shutter function with changeable exposure times. There are two
kinds of shutter mode, electronic iris mode(E.I) and slow shutter mode(ESS). The electronic iris
mode automatically controls the shutter speed according to the illumination of the object. Each pixel
adjusts itself individually to give the best available picture regarding light and dark in a single image.
(This is the wide dynamic range mode).
In the slow shutter mode, all the pixels adjust to the slow shutter speed regardless of the lighting
condition of the object. When an auto iris lens is used, the aperture of the lens is fully opened
regardless of the lighting condition of the object. Because the electronic shutter speed is not
controlled independently for each pixel, the wide dynamic range will not be available. The slow
shutter mode can be used only when an object is very dark, and a stable lighting condition is
present. The default setting is set to E.I.

When the Electronic iris mode (E.I) is selected in the shutter mode setting section, the following
settings can be also set.
Shutter limit (Slow shutter in EASY SETTING)
This function is set to the minimum value of the electronic shutter speed control range with
electronic iris control. When the shutter limit is set to OFF, the minimum value of the shutter speed is
1/60s. Noise will occur with dark objects, but the resolution of a moving object will be preserved.
If the setting value of the shutter limit is selected other than OFF, the selected slow shutter mode will
be available when an object gets dark. If a slower shutter mode is required, shift the shutter limit
value from X2 to X32. The resolution of a moving object may be lower, but the object under dark
lighting condition can be clearly monitored. As long as the slow shutter mode is activated, wide
dynamic range mode will not be available. The default setting is set to X2.

This function is used to set the operation order mode, which will operate by priority in slow shutter
mode, when the SHUTTER LIMIT mode is set to any other than OFF
If SHUT PRI is selected, slow shutter mode operates first, and then gain up mode operates. The
resolution of a moving object will become decreased, but noise will be inconspicuous.
If GAIN PRI is selected, gain up mode operates first, and then the slow shutter mode operates.
Noise will be present compared with the SHUT PRI mode, but doesn’t decrease the resolution of a
moving object. The default setting is set to SHUT PRI.

3.1.5. Control speed
This is the function that sets the control speed of the AE control and white balance control.
The control speed setting of both the AE control and the white balance control can be set in the
CONTROL SPEED at EASY SETTING section. As for the ADVANCED SETTING section, the
control speed of the AE control is set by AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE, and the control speed of the
white balance control is set by WHITE BALANCE. Therefore, if detailed settings of each control
speed independently are needed, set them using the ADVANCED SETTING section.
When the control speed is set to SLOW, the monitored image becomes slow to react to the
environment, and it takes time for the adjustment. However, the changing process becomes smooth
due to small control steps.
When set to NORMAL, the control speed and the control steps become normal.
When set to FAST, the control speed becomes fast, and the time adjustment becomes short.
The default setting is NORMAL. Refer to ATW for a more detailed explanation.

3.2. White balance
The white balance is a function to correct color temperature of a white object under various lighting
environments.
ATW mode automatically follows and adjusts to the changing color temperature of the illumination.
This mode is effective when the lighting environment changes.
In PWB mode, the correction value of the white balance of the camera is calculated by using
white paper and the achromatic color object to fix the correct color balance.
MANUAL mode is set to the correction value of the white balance by the slider as required.
PRESET mode: There are four kinds of white balance modes in PRESET, select the required color
temperature from 3200K, 4300K, 6500K and 9300K.
The default setting is ATW.

ATW
The ATW has the following additional settings.
LOWLIGHT is a parameter that is set to the minimum value of the control range when controlling the
color temperature using ATW.
HIGHLIGHT is a parameter that is set to the maximum value of the control range when controlling
the color temperature using ATW.
The CONTROL SPEED is a parameter setting the ATW adjustment speed.
There are three settings, slow, normal and fast. With slow and Normal settings, the adjustment
changes smoothly. In fast mode, the speed of the adjustment is fast, but it will not be as smooth as
normal and slow. The adjustment will be in short steps.

3.3. DAY/NIGHT Setting
The image sensor, which is used by the WAT-1000 has a sensitivity for near infrared. Usually, the
near-infrared rays are not visible to the human eye. Therefore, it needs to block the infrared light
entering the image sensor to perform the color reproduction according to the human eye by the
color camera. The infrared cut filter is effective for the above purpose. The infrared cut filer operates
effectively when adequate lighting is obtained for the object. However, when the object becomes
dark, the infrared cut filter cannot operate effectively since the incident light is not enough for the
near-infrared light to be cut.
In the WAT-1000, this function can switch over to the Day mode (color mode with infrared filter) and
Night mode (monochrome mode without infrared filter) by the infrared cut filter switching unit.
There are four selectable modes as shown below. The default setting is DAY(OFF).

(): EASY SETTING
In AUTO mode, DAY/NIGHT mode is automatically changed according to the illumination of the
object. For the determination of brightness, it uses the gain value of the auto gain control.
Under the DAY mode condition, when the object becomes dark, and the gain value of the AGC
exceeds the set value, the camera mode becomes NIGHT mode automatically. On the other hand,
when the object becomes bright, and the gain value of AGC becomes less than the set value, DAY
mode is automatically selected. At this time, when the preset value of both the AGC gain is the
same, “hunting” may occur. For the WAT-1000, to prevent hunting, the adjustment difference of the
AGC gain uses the parameters [INTO NIGHT] and [HYSTERESIS].
The INTO NIGHT mode sets the switching level from the day mode to the night mode. It becomes
night mode when the AGC gain of the camera exceeds the setting value of the INTO NIGHT mode.
In HYSTERESIS, the switch level from day mode to night mode is set by the difference of the INTO
NIGHT mode. The default setting is 19dB for INTO NIGHT and 6dB for HYSTERESIS.

[INTO NIGHT]
[HYSTERESIS]
Dark
Bright
■Adjustment method
The adjustment procedure of INTO NIGHT and HYSTERESIS are as follows.
① Set the INTO NIGHT to 19dB and set the HYSTERESIS to 6dB.
② Adjust the aperture of the lens and/or the illumination while watching the monitor to duplicate
the light level of the night mode.
③ Until switching to night mode, keep increasing the level of the INTO NIGHT mode slowly.
④ If hunting does not occur, go on to step ⑥
⑤ When hunting is generated, keep rising the value of HYSTERESIS step by step until the
hunting stops. If hunting does not stop with the maximum value of the HYSTERESIS mode,
AUTO mode may not be available. Therefore, please change the object or the illumination, or
use EXT mode.
⑥ Confirm the switching of Day/Night mode operates properly without any problems by
adjusting the aperture of a lens and/or the illumination. Save the above mentioned setting by
"Save user setting" if there is no problem.
⑦ The set value of HYSTERESIS may be too large if it is not switching into the DAY mode.
Please readjust from ①. If it still does not switch normally, use another object or change the
illumination condition, or use EXT mode

INPUT DURATION is set to 1 second before the camera switches over to NIGHT MODE. This
one-second delay means that in an environment with changing light the camera doesn’t switch over
to NIGHT MODE by mistake. The default setting is one second, but can be changed to suite your
needs.
HOLD TIME, sets a period to stop the switching behavior after the DAY/NIGHT mode is switched.
This mode prevents switching back again accidentally until the exposure control becomes stable
after the infrared cut filter has been switched. The default setting is 800ms.

3.4.4. Gamma correction
In general, the output of the CRT monitor and LCD monitor has nonlinearity against the input signal.
Therefore, the correction of the characteristic opposite to the monitor is put on the output signal on
the camera side beforehand so that the output by the monitor will become linear. This is called
gamma correction. There are five kinds of gamma correction modes for the WAT-1000.
AUTO is the mode that automatically switches to 0.45 for PAL and 0.36 for NTSC according to the
output format of the camera. Select this mode for normal usage.
0.36: The standard correction factor for PAL format
0.45: The standard correction factor for NTSC
0.6 : The correction factor which emphasizes the tone of the bright part of the standard setting
OFF: Linier output with no correction (For image processing use)

3.4.6. Chroma
CHROMA LEVEL is the parameter adjusting the vividness of the color of the video signal
When the chroma level is increased, the color of the video signal becomes more vivid.
The default setting is 0.
CHROMA LIMIT is the parameter for setting the maximum value of color saturation degree. When
the setting value of the chroma limit is increase, it can reduce the color fade around high luminance
in extreme backlight conditions. However, with a standard object, the color may change slightly in
some areas due to the high luminance area on the screen.

3.5.3. Frame structure
This function is set to the frame construction of the video output. The video signal of the NTSC/PAL
format is an interlace format that composes of one frame per two fields of an even number line and
an odd number line. In the WAT-1000, the method of generating two fields can be selected from
three modes.
In the NORMAL mode, one field is generated from information exposed at 1/60 second. When
capture is complete using a PC etc. because former information on the two fields that compose one
frame is different, a gap (combing noise) between lines is generated.

In the PROGRESSIVE mode, two fields of the even number line and odd number lines are
generated from information exposed at 1/60 second. The gap between lines does not occur at
capture because the exposure timing of the two fields that composes one frame is the same.
However, because the exposure becomes intermittent, the resolution of the moving object becomes
decreased.

4. Saving, Loading and Restoring
There are three areas in the WAT-1000, which are called the “work area”, the “user area” and the
“default area”. The explanation of each area is as follows.
For the work area, this is the setting parameter that is running at the present and has been
changed. This area is synchronized with the OSD menu, therefore, when the parameter setting on
the OSD menu changes, the parameters in the work area will also change. If the work area
parameter is changed but not saved and the camera is turned off the settings will be lost and the
camera, when turned on again will return to the parameter set before.
For the user area, this is the area to save a setting parameter of the work area. The setting saved
to the user area is retrieved to the work area at the time of startup. Also, a setting of the user area
can be retrieved using the OSD menu at times other than startup. The factory setting, the default
parameter is saved to the user area.
The default area, this is the area where the factory setting is saved. The factory setting can be
retrieved to the work area by using the OSD menu. The default area is a read-only setting.
