ALIBRATION
The SMX-12A2x camera software allows you to calibrate colors using a color rendition
chart. You can create calibration files for different light conditions and then apply them
depending on camera location.
Calibration Procedure
Before calibration, prepare the following:
1 Install an IR-cut filter and lens on the camera.
2 Put a color rendition chart in front of the camera.
Note: Without an IR-cut filter, color calibration will not perform correctly.
To calibrate colors:
1 Start video from the camera.
2 Disable auto white balance, otherwise calibration will not perform correctly:
a. Press Alt+s to open the Settings dialog box.
b. Click the Advanced tab.
c. Go to the White Balance section and press Disable.
