The function of WAT-2500/3500 can be set by the RC-01 (remote controller).
Utilize the option RC-01 (remote controller) to set function through OSD (On Screen
Display) menu.

2.1. RC-01 (Remote Controller)
Operate the OSD menu by the RC-01.
Connect the RC-01 to the REMOTE terminal on the rear of the camera. Remotecontroller unit providing access to adjustments, settings the functions on the OSD
menu.
*When using the remote controller, vertically insert the connector fully until it clicks.
When disconnecting the remote controller, pull the connector while pinching thelock.

3. Functions
Set each function by the OSD menu.

3.1. EXPOSURE
3.1.1. AE MODE
Set control method of shutter, slow shutter, gain and DC iris lens.
Default: AUTO

AUTO
Automatically control the shutter speed (including SENS UP), gain and DC iris lensin accordance with the brightness of the subject.
When a bright subject is imaged, lower the brightness to the target value by the
shutter speed and DC iris lens.
When a dark subject is imaged, heighten the brightness to the target value by thegain and slow shutter.
The max. and min. of the shutter speed is changed in accordance with the CVBS
Format(Table 1). The longer max. shutter speed, the higher sensitivity for the
subject in the dark, but the video resolution will be lowered.
See “3.1.7.” for the DC iris lens and “3.1.5.” for the slow shutter.

Selectable from OFF, LOW, MID and HIGH.

AGC MAX = LOW

AGC MAX = MID

AGC MAX = HIGH

Figure 6. AGC MAX
The max. value of gain is 0dB (OFF), 36dB (LOW), 50dB (MID), 72dB (HIGH).
Default: HIGH

3.1.5. SENS UP
Set the long exposure (slow shutter). The sensitivity will be higher due to extending
the max. exposure time to 1 frame/field, but the video resolution will be lowered.
The slow shutter is set as a multiple of the min. value (the slowest value) of the
shutter speed.
The configurable value is OFF, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x9, x10, x12 and x15.
Default: OFF
While the “AE MODE” is “AUTO”, the slow shutter (SENS UP) works when it is set
as x2 or more. When the subject is dark until gain reaches the max. value, theslow shutter will start to work. While the “AE MODE” is “MANUAL”, the slow
shutter will be fixed with the selected setting value of the slow shutter.

3.1.6. AE BRIGHT
Set the target brightness while the AE MODE is AUTO or SHUT FIX.
The higher value is set, the brighter it gets when the AE is converged.
The setting value range is 0-10.
Default: 611

3.1.7. DC IRIS
Open the setting menu by the ENTER operation while the cursor is matched with
the DC IRIS. The following settings are configurable in the menu.
