Features Version 1.2 6 3 Features The SCB-12 is an ultra-compact color-camera-module with SXGA- resolution (1280x960) and 30 frames per second. With the integrated scan converter, the camera is able to output different resolutions and refresh rates for optimum picture reproduction. The SCB-12 has a high quality lens with 12x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom. The camera module has an auto focus and manual focus, auto iris and manual iris and motorized zoom. There are special features like: trigger function, 9 Pre- sets (remain stored when disconnected from power), Positive/Negative, 9 image memories, Freeze function and Image Turn The SCB-12 can be controlled by RS-232, USB or Ethernet/LAN. It is possible to transfer images via USB or Ethernet/LAN. Supply-voltage is 12VDC (+/- 10%). 3.1 Image Size Chart The following chart shows the connection between dis- tance from the SCB-12 to the object and image size in optical zoom range: *vertical image size = horizontal size x 3 4 Regular Distance From 0.5 to 10 Meters [1.64 to 32.81'].

IR-remote control (IR-receiver and IR-remote control will be required), via Ethernet/LAN, USB or RS-232. For details regarding further functions please read the online user manual www.wolfvision.com/wolf/ma_scb12.pdf 4.1 Zoom The SCB-12 uses an 12x zoom lens: f=5.8 to 69.6 mm (F=2.8 to 3.0) 4.1.1 Digital Zoom The digital zoom is automatically switched on at the tele end of 12x optical zoom range, with progressive effect from 1 to 4, giving a total maximum of 48x zoom ratio. Digital zoom increases the picture element size and re- duces the resolution. Still pictures in the memory can also be digitally zoomed. 4.2 Auto Iris / Manual Iris The SCB-12 is equipped with an auto iris function. This means that the brightness of the camera image adjusts automatically. When using the IRIS-keys the auto iris function is switched off. In this mode the iris can be ad- justed manually. When using the ZOOM-keys the auto iris is switched on again. The auto iris also controls the Auto Gain and Auto Shut- ter to extend the iris-range. 4.3 Focus / Autofocus The minimum focus distance (MOD) is below 50mm at optical wide end and below 500mm at optical tele end, and is independent of digital zoom. If shorter distances are necessary, a high quality close up lens is available. Please note that objects with very low contrast e.g. a blank sheet of paper) are difficult to focus. If the autofocus does not work just move the object slightly.

settings as a preset and recall them by just pressing the respective PRESET key on the remote control. Pressing the FREEZE key for 2 seconds recalls preset 1. For storing a preset: adjust any function as required and then press any one of the PRESET keys on the remote control for 2 seconds or more. An on-screen message will inform you when the preset is stored. When presets are stored as mentioned above, all cur- rent settings such as zoom, focus, iris etc. are stored. The user can also assign specific functions, such as "Negative", "Negative/Blue", "Black/White" etc. to a PRESET key in the on-screen menu of the SCB-12. 4.5 White Balance The correct white balance adjustment is important for exact color reproduction. "Auto Tracking" is the default white balance setting when the SCB-12 is shipped. This means that the white balance is continuously adjusted automatically. For an exact white balance, 10% of the recorded image should be white (measurement area is in the center of the image). For a precisely fixed white balance adjustment use the "One Push" white balance. This can be done by com- pletely zooming in on a white surface and pressing the WHITE key. When the white balance is stored, an on- screen message appears. Setting a "One Push" white balance switches off the "Auto Tracking" mode (when the unit is switched off and on again the "Auto Tracking" mode will be reactivated). When the lighting conditions change (e.g. light box, sunlight or different room light) the white balance should be re-adjusted! For specialists: The SCB-12 can be switched between "Auto Tracking", "One Push" and "Manual" white bal- ance mode in the on-screen menu. If you work with negative transparencies and a light box, use a blank (black in the image) piece of the nega- tive film for white balance adjustment!

The SCB-12 has an image memory from which a stored image can be output as a still image. You can store up to 9 images in the memory. Code Storing an image: Press one of the MEMORY keys for 2 seconds or more Recalling an image: Press one of the MEMORY keys quickly Splitscreen By pressing the ALL key a split image with all 9 pictures of the memory can be displayed. 4.7 Freeze To capture the current image into memory, use the FREEZE-key. The captured image is output. 4.8 Image Turn Mode Picking up a complete vertical (portrait) document or A4 page has always been a critical issue because the image was always picked up in a horizontal (landscape) format. The camera could only use 50% of its pixels to pick up a vertical (portrait) page. WolfVision's "Image turn" mode solves this problem. Just place your document (or other vertical object) on the working surface horizontally. Zoom in on it com- pletely, so that approx. 90% of the pixels of the built-in camera are used to pick up the document. Press the IMAGE TURN key. The SCB-12 turns the picture elec- tronically at an angle at 90º and outputs it correctly with a much higher resolution than in normal mode. The left and right margins are blackened out.

For regular use of the SCB-12, it is not necessary to go into the unit's menu and change settings. Inexperienced users should not make any adjustments there. The functions of the on-screen menu are not described in detail in this user manual since the HELP menu is an integrated part of the unit's software (firmware). The in- formation you see on your screen always belongs to the current firmware. 5.1 Quick Setup Guide When the camera will be switched on the first time, the Quick Setup Guide will be started automatically. It will guide you through the most important settings like: Language, Ethernet/LAN, etc. All settings can be changed in the on-screen menu too, just select the respective category and choose the desired setting. 5.2 Reset On-Screen Menu Settings The settings in the on-screen menu can be set to de- fault. “Recall Default Settings” is a separate item in the on-screen menu.
