6.1 White balance

Prior to performing an AWB, the camera must be plugged to the computer with the endoscope and
the light source connected. If there is not enought light, the AWB will not be done.
• Film a white surface, a white gaze preferably and take care it is properly placed before the endoscope.
(beware the produced image is clear), see Chap. 5.3.
• Press on the button of the white balance of the camera (white button) or of the soft ware.
• A white square appears on the screen indicating a pending white balance, do not move until this
square disappears, indicating the end of the white balance.
Each balance is memorised. Thus, the next time you turn on the camera (and if no parameters of your
image chain were modifi ed), you will fi nd the same colours.
You need to do a new white balance if:
• You change the type of light source;
• You change your lamp (new one);
• You change the optics;
• You change the light cable;
• You not satisfi ed with the reproduction of the colours.
If you are not satisfi ed with the quality of the colours, think to check the adjustments of your
monitor (Chroma, contrast,...)
6.2 The ICE function
With the new «ICE» (Intelligent Control Endoscope) device built in this camera, the white balance you
just performed also allows to optimize all the settings whatever the endoscope used is.
For each white balance, this exclusive process analyses:
• the size of the endoscope to adapt the fi eld of vision of the camera,
• the color temperature from the light source to determine its wavelength,
• the color temperature of the light going through the endoscope to restore realistic colors during
the white balance.
• the minimum level of light to warn the user in case of failure.
