Overview
Accessing a camera’s controls can be done through the dropdown toggle at the bottom of a camera card.
Reset Controls
You can quickly revert all parameters to their factory defaults at any time by clicking the RESET CONTROLS button at the bottom of the camera controls panel.
Encoding Settings
Bitrate
Determines the amount of data processed per second of video. Higher values yield better video quality but consume more network bandwidth.
Group of Pictures
Sets the interval between keyframes (I-frames) in the video stream. A higher value improves compression efficiency, while a lower value can reduce latency and improve stream stability over weak connections.
Variable Bitrate
When enabled, the stream’s bitrate will dynamically adjust based on the visual complexity of the scene (VBR), saving bandwidth during static shots rather than pushing a constant bitrate (CBR). In practice, it will use a bitrate between 10mbps and 70mbps.
Image & Color Adjustments
Brightness
Adjusts the overall lightness or darkness of the video feed.
Contrast
Modifies the difference between the lightest and darkest areas of the image.
Saturation
Controls the intensity and vividness of the colors.
Hue
Shifts the overall color phase (tint) of the video.
Auto White-Balance / AI TrueColor Technology™
Toggles our proprietary auto white-balance algorithm designed to optimize color accuracy and clarity for underwater.
Gamma
Adjusts the brightness of the mid-tones in the video without severely affecting the extreme shadows or bright highlights.
Gain
Artificially amplifies the video signal to increase brightness in low-light scenarios.Increasing Gain too much can introduce digital noise or “grain” into your
video feed.
Sharpness
Enhances edge detail to make the image appear crisper and more defined.
Exposure & Lighting
Power Line Frequency
Prevents video flickering caused by artificial lights. You should set this to match your local region’s electrical grid frequency (e.g.,60 Hz for North America, 50 Hz for Europe/Asia).
White Balance Temperature
Adjusts the color temperature of the camera. Lower values produce cooler (bluer) tones, while higher values produce warmer (oranger) tones.
Backlight Compensation
Adjusts the exposure to properly illuminate darker subjects that are positioned against a bright background, preventing them from appearing as silhouettes.
Auto Exposure
When enabled, the camera automatically calculates and adjusts its exposure settings based on the surrounding ambient light.
Exposure Time, Absolute
Allows you to manually dictate the specific duration the sensor is exposed to light per frame.
Exposure, Dynamic Framerate
When toggled on, this allows the camera to automatically lower its framerate in dark environments. This increases the exposure time per frame, resulting in a brighter image at the cost of video smoothness.
