5 Installation
5.3 Optimizing the image
Considering the disparity of video performances between computers, it is peremptory to adapt the
adjustments of the system ( graphic board, screen,...) to obtain the best image quality.
This procedure must be performed once at the installation of the camera.
> Plug the camera to the computers, connect the endoscope, the light cable and start the light source.
> Launch the soft ware with the shorcut
> Press on the icon to start the video
> Launch an AWB: wrap the endoscope in a white gaze to avoid any dark area on the image
> Shift the resolution of the video to 720 x 576 for a PAL camera (Go to Files, Confi guration, camera,
capture connection).
> Adapt the parameters of : Brightness/Contrast/ Saturation/ Sharpness in the following manner:
• Go to Files, Confi guration, camera, fi lter of capture, Amp proc video
• Adjust the contrast to have a bright image, without white saturation or noise.
• Adjust the brightness to have a bright and noiseless image.
• Adjust the saturation of the colors of the images to obtain realistic colors.
• Adjust the sharpness to enhance details without increasing the noise.
> If necessary, modify the adjustments of the monitor to adjust colors and brightness.
> Save the parameters and leave.
A mode «By default» is available to come back to factory settings.
These values are kept and reloaded at each starting of the system.
Before connecting your telescope or fi broscope on the camera, you must check its condition (clean
distal lens, focus if necessary) and link it to your light source.
Then check if the image produced with such a confi guration is good. Power your light source and place
the extremity of your telescope in the palm of your hand, thus simulating the basic conditions of en-
doscopy (beware of the working distance "fi lmed object-telescope" which must be similar to reality,
i.e. some centimetres).
1. Wait a few seconds in order to have a stabilised light;
2. Launch the Automatic White Balance (see following chapter);
3. Place the extremity of your telescope in the palm of your hand, thus simulating the basic conditions
of endoscopy (beware of the working distance "fi lmed object-endoscope" which must be similar to
reality, i.e. some centimetres). If you obtain a fuzzy image, modify the focus of the lens and if necessa-
ry of the endoscope. Check also if there is neither fog nor dust on your lens.
