Setup

Performing camera skew calibrations

Small amounts of rotational camera misalignment exists in most camera mounting systems. The camera

skew calibration measures this misalignment and applies a skew compensation to subsequent measure-

ments to eliminate the effect of rotational misalignments.

To perform a camera skew calibration:

1 Touch the Magnification button to cycle to the lowest magnification.

2 Touch the CAL button.

3 The video screen will be displayed with instructions

for performing the calibration in the upper left corner.

Follow the instructions to complete the calibration.

NOTE

Systems should be aligned mechani-

cally to within a few degrees. This

calibration is not intended as a substi-

tute for good mechanical alignment.

Specifying camera type

The QC-300 video camera input supports four popular video standards:

• NTSC • NTSC Y/C • PAL • PAL Y/C

Touch the Camera Type choice field repeatedly to cycle to the desired video input standard.
