View

On the tab the image size in the 3D window and visibility of additional elements on the 3D image are specified.

Some elements on this panel are duplicated in the Main menu of 3D window.

In the box horizontal image size in the 3D window is specified. Near this box, the calculated vertical image size and the Aspect Ratio is shown.

If the According to camera parameters box is marked, Size on the screen (pix) is taken from camera parameters. But only if for this camera the Image size on the Processing tab is not specified. If the Image size is specified, the Size on the screen (pix) becomes equal to the specified Image size.

The Image size in the 3D window can not exceed screen resolution. How to model hight resolution images, see the PiP tab.

Animation

When the Animation box is checked and the value in the Number of frames combo box is more than one, in the 3D window instead of a static 3D image an animated image will be generated.

Time of animated image generation increases in proportion to the number of frames.

The frame rate can be specified in the corresponding box on the Camera tab.

On the animated image the 3D models with non-zero speed will move, the Rotakin will rotate.

Animated images can be saved in the animated gif files , and also can be displayed on the Monitor and saved in html file.

To make visible movement on an animated image, in the view area 3D models with non-zero speed and (or) object Rotakin must present.

Title

Place the following information in the left upper corner of the image:

•	Name of the layout on which the active camera is placed.

•	Active camera name.

•	Current image sizes in pixels.

•	Current image resolution in pixels (Image) and 3D window size (Screen) separately, when the image resolution differs from the 3D window size;

•	Maximum horizontal resolution in TV lines in case of it can be calculaten.

•	Brightness and Contast if these parameters are differed from default.

•	Image compression, if it is used.

•	The grid step, if the grid is displayed.

•	Calculated unweighted signal/noise ratio of the image, if illumination modeling is switched on.

•	Calculated IRE of the image, if illumination modeling is switched on.

•	Frame rate (fps), when image in the 3D window is animated.

•	Exposure time (milliseconds) when exposure is modeled.

PTZH frame

PTZH frame (Pan-Tilt-Zoom-Height) allows operating camera similarly to PTZ one and additionally change camera's installation height.

After clicking this item the camera's field of view extends, and the objects being off view area, for increasing the convenience of camera's adjustment, become visible. Real field of view is limited by orange frame.

Above the frame the buttons, which changes view area upper bound distance and view area upper bound height ., are located. Current distance and height values are digitally shown under the buttons.

It is recommended to set view area upper bound height, which is equal to maximal height of observed objects, and do not change it further. Further adjust camera's inclination by changing only the view area upper bound distance.

On the right and to the left of the frame there are camera rotation buttons .

Under the frame there are buttons, which change the height of camera installation . Current value of height is digitally shown above the buttons. Near by them the lens focal length combo box is located. Value in the box can be selected from the list or entered from the keyboard.

Using these tools it is possible to rotate the camera in both planes, change lens focal length and height of installation.

To change the position on one step click corresponding button. For continuous moving bring the cursor to the button, then press it and do not release the left mouse button. For precise position adjustment do the same, but with pressed Ctrl.

In the PTZH frame mode you can pan and tilt the camera by moving the image like moving drawing in the Graphics window. Press left mouse button, move cursor with the button pressed then release the mouse button. Camera tilt angle is changed through changing view area upper bound distance. But when Ctrl is pressed, the tilt angle is changed through changing view area upper bound height.

You can also pan camera using the arrow keys.

Frame PTZH disables image processing, titles and animation.

Together with Monitor window this tool offers a new method of 3D CCTV design.

If a model is assigned to the camera, and the model has fixed focal length lens, then you can not change the focal length.

If a model is assigned to the camera, and the model has a lens with limited variable focal length, then you can change focal length within the limits only. When approach to the limit values, the box will become crimson.

You can change focal length in wide range of 0.5-1000mm of cameras, which have not assigned model or the assigned model have not specified limits of the lens focal length.

Background

Show or hide a background in the 3D image.

In case of vector background you can adjust background resolution in the 3D window.

Test chart

Place in the right top corner the image fragment of the standard test chart EIA1956 for the visual estimation of the current horizontal and vertical resolution.

If in the Options box on the 3D modeling tab Smoothing>Test chart box is not checked, then the time of repainting will lessen, but the accuracy will lower.
