One-Push: Used in conditions where Auto White balance is unable to detect and use a white image to auto set the white balance.  Basically, you fill the frame with what you know to be a white object (even under colored lighting), this is saved as the camera’s “white” reference and camera now auto-white-balances using the new reference “white” instead of its internal reference. To trigger the one push press F3 on the IR Remote. ATW: Auto Tracking White Balance ATW is a more dynamic version of AUTO white balance.  It detects when your ambient lighting shifts significantly (such as moving from indoors to outdoors) and dynamically changes the AWB for you. SON Lamp This white balance mode can be used in situations where you know there are SON Lamps. This type of light is designed to replicate the natural light of the sun, and is used to provide a natural, consistent look to a scene. The son lamp uses a combination of three different colored lamps (red, green and blue) to create a spectrum of light that is neutral and does not cast any color cast on the scene. Fluorescent lamp This white balance mode can be used in situations where you know there are fluorescent lamps. Fluorescent lamps are often used in indoor lighting, as they are more efficient and cheaper than traditional incandescent lamps. However, they can cause color problems when capturing video image indoors, as the light emitted by different types of fluorescent lamps can vary in color.	Default：ATW

Webinterface

Login

In order to enter the WebUI of the EVC320 run your commonly used browser (Google Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, 360, QQ etc)  and enter the default IP address:

Default IP address: 192.168.1.188

After you have successfully reached the IP address you will be prompt to login like shown in the figure below:

To login use the default username and password as follows:

Username: admin
password: admin

NOTE: The default username and password can be changed in the account settings which will be explained further on in this manual.

Live video preview and control interface

The preview interface is shown above. On the right side you have to following control options for the camera: Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Focus mode, Pan Tilt speed, Focus speed, Zoom speed, Preset position control. At the bottom of the live video preview player, you can select the volume switch and volume level, as well as the full-size view and picture-in-picture mode.

NOTE: Any adjustments made to the PTZ Speed in the WebUI will overrule the settings in the camera that are made via the PTZ controller or IR remote control. For e.g., the PTZ Speed is set to 15 in the OSD menu via the IR remote and in the WebUI it is set to 5. When the camera is controlled by the WebUI the PTZ speed will be 5 and when controlled by the IR remote the PTZ Speed will be 15. So, the device that is used to control the camera is the master. Presets are inherited in the camera and can be called from the WebUI, PTZ Controller or IR remote.

Video Encode Settings

Here you can configure the encoding settings for the RTMP, RTSP and SRT stream.

1. Enable/disable Main or Sub stream.

The main and sub stream are used to stream RTMP, RTSP, Live video preview, ONVIF and SRT. The main difference between the two is the resolution that can be chosen. The mainstream goes up to 1080p60 while the substream goes up to 720p60.

• Encode mode: H.264/H.265

H.264 and H.265 are both codecs used in video compression. H.264 is more widely used and has been around for longer but H.265 is slowly becoming more popular. The main difference between H.264 and H.265 is the amount of data they can compress. H.264 is able to compress data by around 50%, while H.265 can compress data by up to 75%. This means that H.265 is more efficient at compressing the same amount of data, resulting in a better video quality and smaller file size. Another difference is the level of detail that H.264 and H.265 can handle. H.264 is able to handle more detailed video, while H.265 is better at handling lower resolution video. This means that H.264 is better suited for higher resolution video, while H.265 is better for lower resolution video.

• Profile*: Baseline | MP (Main Profile) | HP (High Profile)

H.264 offers three levels of coding performance: Baseline, Main, and High Profile (HP). Baseline is the most basic of the three, offering reduced data rates and limited features such as support for only mono- or stereo-audio streams. Main Profile (MP) adds features such as interlaced video, B-frames, and support for multiple audio streams. Finally, High Profile (HP) provides even higher data rates and additional features such as scalable video coding and support for multiview video coding.

* Only available when with H.264

• RTSP Address

RTSP, or Real-Time Streaming Protocol, is a network control protocol designed for use in video communication systems to transport video and audio between end points. The RTSP stream can be used to get the live video feed in VLC or other RTSP hardware and software decoders.

• Resolution: chose the encoding resolution.
• Bitrate.
• Framerate
• Bitrate control: Variable or Constant Bitrate

Variable bitrate (VBR) and constant bitrate (CBR) are two methods of controlling the amount of data used to encode audio and video files. VBR is a method of encoding that allows the bitrate to fluctuate according to the complexity of the source material being encoded. It is often used for streaming media, such as audio and video, and is a more efficient way of encoding than CBR. On the other hand, CBR encoding is the simplest and most common method of encoding audio and video files. This method assigns a fixed bitrate to the entire file regardless of its content, meaning that the quality of the file will remain the same throughout. This can be useful for applications in which uniform quality is desired, such as when encoding for broadcast.

• I-Frame interval.

To maintain low latency, we suggest keeping the resolution and framerate the same as your encoding software to prevent unnecessary encoding process.  The I-Frame we suggest setting double as high as the framerate unless you are capturing sports or events with lots of movements per second. In that case we suggest keeping it the same as the framerate.

RTMP Streaming

Click “Video Transmission” to seefollowing settings as shown in the figure below:

The “RTMP Address” is the streamurl/streamkey for e.g., rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/ jvtx-de4e-j2t0-6jcg-b4vc

SRT

The EVC320 supports SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) which is a real-time streaming protocol developed by Haivision, a video streaming company. It is designed to reduce latency and provide secure, reliable, and high-quality streaming of audio and video over the public internet. It is based on the UDP protocol and uses AES encryption for security. SRT is optimized for mobile networks and can adjust itself to changes in network conditions, such as packet loss and jitter. It can also handle high bandwidths and low latency, making it ideal for streaming applications. The camera can act as listener or caller. We shall explain both scenarios below.

Select “listen” in the SRT setting to see following settings as shown in the figure below:

Mode: Listen

Enable: enable or disable SRT stream by clicking on the “switch button”

Port: Select through which Port you want to send the SRT stream. Make sure that the caller side has the same port number.

Encryption: Enable to secure stream with a password.

Key Length: Indicates the specified key length for AES encryption.

Passphrase: fill in the password

Main/sub stream: On the caller side you need the fill in the stream ID that you want to use.

NOTE: On the caller side you only need to fill in r=0 (mainstream) or r=1 (substream) not the entire URL.

Select “Caller” in the SRT setting to see following settings as shown in the figure below:

Mode: Caller

Enable: Enable mainstream and/or substream

IP: Fill in the IP address of the listener side for both main and substream

Port: Fill in the portnumber on the listener side for both main and substream. Make sure that the sub and mainstream have different portnumber when they both are enabled.

Encryption: Enable encryption

Key length: Indicates the specified key length for AES encryption.

Passphrase: fill in the password

Streamid: fill in Mainstream: r=0 | Substream: r=1

Camera Settings

In this part we shall go further into details about the camera settings that you can adjust directly from the WebUI.  After you have successfully logged in and navigated to settings, you’ll find on the left side the option “Image Adjust”.  Click on it to see the camera settings as shown in the figure below:

The first parameters that can be configured are the ‘Focus’ and ‘Digital Zoom’

Focus mode: The focus mode can be set to ‘Auto’ or ‘Manual’.

Auto focus
If the camera is being used in an environment where there is not much movement and the scene is quite consistent, then we suggest keeping the focus on auto. The camera will automatically focus on the main person or object in the field of view.

Manual focus
In some situations the operator wants to focus on specific objects, persons, details etc. In this case it is convenient to use ‘Manual focus’. The camera will then accurately focus on what you’d like to put in the spotlight of your production. Furthermore, the manual focus can also be saved in the preset.

Digital Zoom: The EVC320 has 2x Digital Zoom. The Digital Zoom can either be enabled or disabled.

Digital Zoom
The Digital Zoom is used in specific situations where the 12x Optical Zoom of the camera is not enough. It should be considered that Digital Zoom zooms in on a certain portion of the image. That part is then enlarged to the total number of megapixels your camera sensor has. So, in effect, a piece of the image is cut out and resized. Which will result in less image quality.

Exposure

The second parameter that can be configured is the “Exposure” as shown in the figure below:

Exposure is the amount of light that is allowed to pass through the camera’s lens. It affects the brightness and contrast of the image and can be adjusted manually or automatically. Exposure is typically set in terms of shutter speed and aperture (Iris). Shutter speed is the length of time the camera’s shutter is open and allows light to enter the camera, while aperture (Iris) is the size of the camera’s lens opening. The combination of the two determines the amount of light that is let in and affects the exposure of the image.

Exposure modes: Auto / Manual / Iris Priority / Shutter priority / Brightness Priority

Auto
When the camera is in AE (Auto Exposure) mode the camera will regulate the all the exposure settings itself to create the best image.

Manual
In manual mode you are free to change the exposure settings as you like. You’ll be able to manage the Shutter, Iris and Gain of which we will further explain their functions.

Iris Priority
In Iris priority mode only the camera’s aperture can be controlled which is another important factor in controlling exposure. Aperture is the size of the lens opening and affects the amount of light that passes through the lens and falls onto the image sensor. A wide aperture allows more light to enter the camera, resulting in brighter images. A smaller aperture reduces the amount of light entering the camera, resulting in darker images. The EVC312 Aperture ranges from 1.8~14. The lower the number, more light will be allowed to pass through the lens.

Shutter Priority
In shutter Priority mode only the shutter can be enabled. To choose the right Shutter speed you can use the 180 rule. The 180 degree shutter rule is a popular guideline among video makers for setting the shutter speed for proper exposure. It states that the shutter speed should be set at double the frame rate of the video being shot. For example, if a filmmaker is shooting video at 30 frames per second, the shutter speed should be set to 1/60th of a second in order to achieve proper exposure. This shutter speed creates a shutter angle of 180 degrees, hence the name of the rule. This rule has become a standard in the film industry to match what the human eye is used to seeing in real life.

Gain: Enabled in “Manual” mode

Gain is an electronic light amplification of the video signal. This means that the light is boosted electronically, adding more voltage to the pixels on your image causing them to amplify their intensity and therefore brighten your image. This will result in a brighter image in conditions that wouldn’t normally allow it, like when there is insufficient light. The contrary of Gain is noise. The higher the Gain is set the more noise will occur.

Brightness: Enabled in “Brightness Priority” mode.

Brightness is a term used to describe the overall light intensity of the image and is used to adjust the overall level of brightness of the image.

NOTE: Gain and brightness are both terms that are used to describe the intensity of the light or image. Gain is more closely associated with increasing the intensity of the signal, whereas brightness is more closely associated with adjusting the overall light intensity of the image. Gain is used to increase the intensity of the light or image, whereas brightness is used to adjust the overall level of brightness of the image.

Anti-Flicker (60Hz/50Hz): Only adjustable in “Auto and Iris Priority” mode.

Anti-Flicker is a feature that helps reduce or eliminate flickering images caused by fluorescent or other artificial lighting sources. It works by adjusting the shutter speed to match the frequency of the artificial light source. This helps to reduce the amount of flickering that occurs in the images.

White Balance

The third parameter that can be configured is the “White Balance” as shown in the figure below:

White balance is essentially the process of adjusting the colors in an image so that all colors appear as they should. This is done by compensating for the different color temperatures of light sources, such as natural sunlight, incandescent light bulbs, and LED lights.

White Balance Modes: Auto / Indoor / Outdoor / One Push / Auto Tracking / Manual / Color Temperature.

Auto
When the camera is set to auto white balance settings, it assumes that the light source is a neutral white. This means that the colors in the scene will be rendered accurately. However, if the light source is not neutral white, then the colors in the scene may be rendered inaccurately. In that case, the white balance settings should be manually adjusted to ensure that the colors in the scene appear as they should.

Indoor
Indoor white balance is a term used to describe the process of adjusting the colors of an image to accurately reflect the colors of the original scene. This is important for any image taken indoors because the lighting conditions are often much different than those outside. Without some form of white balance, images taken indoors can appear too yellow, orange, or blue because of the different types of lighting used.

Outdoor
Outdoor white balance is a setting that adjusts the color balance of the image to account for the brightness of the sun. This setting helps to ensure that the colors in the video image are accurately reproduced. This white balance mode should be used when shooting in natural light, as it can help to reduce the blue or yellow cast that can occur when shooting in direct sunlight. Additionally, outdoor white balance can help to reduce the amount of noise in the video image, resulting in a more vibrant and accurate image.

One Push
One Push White Balance is a feature that allows users to easily set their white balance settings. This feature uses the camera’s auto white balance system and allows the user to adjust the white balance settings with a single click. This is useful when shooting in different lighting conditions, such as indoor and outdoor, as it ensures that the images and videos produced will be accurately colored. The One push can be triggered by using a gray card or white sheet of paper and by pressing the “push” button next to the WB mode selection. With the IR remote you need to press F3.

Auto Tracking
ATWB is especially useful when shooting in mixed lighting conditions, where multiple light sources are present in the scene. Without ATWB, the camera would have to be manually adjusted for each light source in the scene, which can be time-consuming and difficult. With ATWB, the camera can automatically adjust the White Balance for each light source, resulting in consistent and accurate color reproduction. ATWB can also be used to correct color casts that may be present in an image. For example, if a scene has an overall yellow-ish cast, ATWB can be used to adjust the White Balance and correct the color cast.

Manual
In manual mode the Red and the Blue gain can be adjusted to create ultimate color conditions.

Image

In the fourth section of the camera settings, you can adjust the parameters as shown in the figure below. We shall further explain each one. 

Mirror
When mirror is enabled the video image will be mirrored. Default this mirroring is disabled.

Flip
When Flip is enabled the video image will be shown upside down. This is used in situations where the camera is mounted upside down to the ceiling.

BLC (Backlight Compensation)
Backlight compensation adjusts the exposure to compensate for overly bright background light. It is used to ensure that the main object is properly exposed and not lost in the shadows due to the intense background lighting. Backlight compensation works by increasing the exposure of the foreground and allowing more light to hit the object. This setting can be enabled or disabled.

Gamma
Gamma is a setting that adjusts the contrast of an image. It is typically used to make subtle adjustments to the midtones and shadows of an image. It is an important tool to fine-tune the overall look of an image.  When adjusting the gamma of a camera, the result is a change in the level of brightness of midtones and shadows. If the gamma is too high, the overall image may appear washed out and lack contrast. If the gamma is too low, the image may appear too dark and lack detail in the midtones and shadows.

D-WDR
D-WDR (Directional Wide Dynamic Range) is a type of image processing technology that is designed to improve the video image quality in scenes with high contrast. It does this by increasing the dynamic range of the scene. This allows the camera to capture more details in both the light and dark areas of the scene resulting in a better range of detail and texture to be captured. Using D-WDR technology can help reduce the amount of noise and grain present in video images taken in low light conditions.

NOTE: The main difference between WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) and Gamma is how they affect the lighting in a scene. WDR is a technique that is used to capture both bright and dark areas of a scene simultaneously, while Gamma is a method of adjusting the brightness, contrast, and color of an image.

Image Quality

In this section of the camera settings, you can adjust the overall image parameters as shown in the figure below. We shall further explain each one. 

Brightness
Brightness is a term used to describe the overall light intensity of the image and is used to adjust the overall level of brightness of the image.

NOTE: when the exposure settings are in “Manual” or “Brightness Priority” mode the brightness option is disabled. The brightness can then be configured in the exposure settings.

Sharpness
The camera sharpness is a measure of the quality of an image that is captured. It is determined by the level of detail that is present in an image, as well as the clarity of the image. A sharp image will have crisp edges and accurate color representation, while a blurry image will appear soft and may not have accurate color representation. You can adjust the level of sharpness according to your video scene.

Contrast
Camera contrast It helps to make the video image more dynamic and interesting. It refers to the difference in brightness between different parts of the image. A higher contrast video image brings out more details and textures combined with intense dark and light areas, while a lower contrast video image will have a more subtle and calming effect.

Saturation
Saturation is the density of a color. Higher saturation makes the colors appear richer, while lower saturation makes it appear paler.

Noise Reduction

In this section of the camera settings DNR (digital noise reduction) can be applied. DNR is technology that can help eliminate or reduce noise effectively and efficiently. There are two primary methods used to reduce noise in a video image: 2D and 3D. We shall explain both.

2D Noise Reduction: Enable / Disable
2D digital noise reduction is the simplest way to reduce video noise. It uses the temporal method for reducing noise. It compares pixels and removes ones that don’t appear in every frame. These irregular pixels are considered image noise. 2D Noise Reduction works best with low-resolution footage. With higher resolution footage, this method is virtually ineffective. While effective, this form of noise reduction can blur images or leave movement trails.

3D Noise Reduction: Enable or Disable / Auto / 1~4
3D digital noise reduction uses an algorithm to compare pixels in a sequence of frames. First, it analyzes the pixels in each frame, and then it compares the frames to see which pixels move or change. It is highly effective at isolating pixels considered noise and generally better at eliminating that grainy look common with low-light video. 3D is also the better choice for videos with lots of motion because it does not create motion blur like 2D DNR. Additionally, 3D DNR works well on high-resolution footage, whereas 2D does not.

Network Settings

Click “Ethernet” to see settings as shown in the figure below:

DHCP: Enable/Disable
Enable DHCP if the camera is connected to a DHCP router that dynamically grants an IP address, netmask, gateway, and DNS. When DHCP is disabled, you would need to manually set the IP address, netmask, gateway, and DNS.

HTTP Port:80
This is a standardized Port number to communicate between webclients and webservers. We suggest not to change this unless you have specific reasons.

RTSP Port: 554
This is the communication port used to stream the RTSP stream to any RTSP receiving hardware or software. We suggest not to change this unless you have specific reasons.

RTSP Encrypt: Secure RTSP Stream with the Username and Password of the WebUI.

Visca over IP: 52381
This is the port number used to communicate PTZ commands over IP. This important if you want to control the camera with our Windows controller application, PTZ Controller and Bitfocus Companion.
