In Vicon MX, you can control the intensity of the image from a Vicon
camera using the Gain slider in the Vicon application software. The
software Gain slider can be set to a factor of 1-4.
When using an MCam2 camera connected through an MX Bridge, you
can also use the Control dial on the rear panel of the camera to set
the camera gain. The camera Control dial can be set to Low, Medium,
or High gain settings, which are equivalent to factors 1, 2, and 3 on
the software Gain slider.
In Vicon MX, these settings work in series, so the camera gain setting
is multiplied by the software gain factor. For example, if you set the
camera gain setting to 2 and then set the software gain factor to 2,
the total gain is 4. The maximum total gain must not exceed a value
of 4.

Table 2-1: MCam2 camera performance
Table 2-2 illustrates the performance of a Vicon VCam/ SVCam
camera in a Vicon MX system. The Camera Select dial on the rear
panel of the MX Bridge must be set to 14 for VCam/SVCam cameras.
