Top view Figure 3 12 Pin Hirose Connector AGC factory setting is 2V for AGC control and 3V for AGC MAX control Therefore the maximum gain is about 18dB as shown in Figure 4 below AGC setting cannot be changed through the rear gain potentiometer Manual gain control MGC The manual gain control can be adjusted from 5dB to 18dB through the gain potentiometer on rear plate Note 32dB gain can be obtained through custom orders ASC vonbel clirsacleristius u s 2 3 1 E AGS CONT v AGC contel ch sacicrislics gt 5 4 5 MAX V 1 Figure 4 AGC MAX Control Characteristics 5 3 3 Gamma 1 0 and 0 45 Mode Gamma is the numerical value of the degree of contrast in a television picture Gamma correction is the system response modification by providing linear transfer characteristic from the input to output In general circuit built into a TV camera to compensate for non linearity that exists in display tubes If the camera is connected directly to a frame grabber it is desired to set to Gamma 1 0 For direct connection to a TV monitor gamma 0 45 is recommended since TV monitor has a non linear correction In general gamma 0 45 is noisier than gamma 1 0 which is why gamma 1 0 is chosen for machine vision applications Gamma 0 45 is preferred when seeing video at low light level which is common for inspection by human eyes Garin chirnirternist
