As a result of changing the camera parameters ( lens focal length, sensor size, aspect ratio, vertical number of pixels), parameters on the Pixel density tab will be recalculated.

Two ways of the recalculation are possible: recalculating distances at which the image from the camera will have a fixed value of pixel density, or recalculating the pixel density at fixed distances.

If this item is checked, then the values ​​of the pixel density will be fixed, and the distances at which the image from the camera will have the fixed value of pixel density will be calculated.

 

This item is available is the Pixel density tab is open.

Edit > Resolution

 

CCTV Design Lens Calculator allows to edit the values ​​of distances and pixel density in the Table of regions on the Pixel density tab.

Choosing this item makes the pixel density values available for editing.

The same result can be obtained by clicking on any of the resolution value in the Table of regions. Clicking on empty space of the table turns off editing.

If this item is checked, then the window of CCTV Design Lens Calculator is kept on top of other windows on the screen that can be useful when used in conjunction with other CAD programs.

 

View > Screen

 

Images on the Table of regions are small, so you can quickly evaluate the Pixel density and the Field-of-view size at various distances.

In addition, it is possible to show any image in any size for more detailed consideration.

Choosing this item opens a separate scalable window - the Screen on which you can display an image from any region in the Table of regions.

This item is available is the Pixel density tab is open. Similar item exists in the pop-up menu of the Table of regions.

 

View > Pictures

 

The item opens a submenu where you can select a picture to visualize the Pixel density and Field of view in the Table of regions and on the Screen.

 

You can add your own pictures.

 

When modeling pixel density using pictures, the simulated pixel density can not exceed the pixel density of the pictures.

 

This item is available is the Pixel density tab is open. Similar items exist in the pop-up menu of the Table of regions and the Screen.

Choose the language.

 

All the text resources of the program are stored in *.lng files in the CCTV Design Lens Calculator installation directory.

We are interested in translating the program to other languages.

If you can do it, could you please contact us.support@cctvcad.com

 

       How to add a new interface language

 

There is English.lng file in a directory of CCTV Design Lens Calculator installation. All text elements of the interface are loaded from this file.

For creation of new interface language it is necessary:

1. Copy English.lng (Russian.lng) file under a new name <YourLanguage>.lng

2. Accurately translate each line in the file. Don't change positions of the lines, don't delete or create new lines! Each position corresponds to some interface element. Don't translate lines which begin from '///' - they are labels. It is necessary to keep all blanks between lines.

3. Copy the obtained new file to the directory of CCTV Design Lens Calculator installation and start the program.

4. Choose Main menu> Help> Language><YourLanguage>

5. Check up new interface. Correct the <YourLanguage>.lng file if necessary.

 

Don't hesitate to contact us in case of any troubles.
