Description of Parameters

Color Profile

Under certain light conditions, the display of white may vary. White balance is used to correct this kind of color variation.

Select one of the following profiles for white balance:

Auto	The factory default setting Auto should produce the best results with most applications.
Neontube	When the Auto setting does not deliver satisfactory results where fluorescent lamps are used, try using the Neontube profile for white balance.
Cloudy	When the Auto setting does not deliver satisfactory results in settings with a very cloudy sky, try using the Cloudy profile for white balance.
Sunny	When the Auto setting does not deliver satisfactory results at times of glaring sunlight, try using the Sunny profile for white balance.

Color Saturation

Color saturation controls the color intensity. The higher the saturation, the more intense are the colors.
Values: -10 .. 0 .. 10

The recommended factory default setting is 5. The value -10 causes an image to be displayed as a grey-scale image.

Blue balance

Controls the blue channel of the image.

Red balance

Controls the red channel of the image.

The current color settings of the image sensors are displayed in the lower part of the dialog.

Storing the Configuration

Click on the Close button to close the dialog. While closing the dialog, the system checks the entire configuration for changes. If changes are detected, you will be asked if you would like to store the entire configuration permanently.
