Filtering Video
Video is present, but the image is flickering.
1 Turn off any fluorescent lights illuminating the arena and use incandescent
lights instead. If the flickering goes away, there may be problems with the
fluorescent bulbs themselves, the starters, or the ballast. If fluorescent
fixtures must be used, these problems must be fixed. Otherwise, look for
alternative lighting sources

Arena is Too Small or Too Large within the Video Image
Once video has been obtained, the camera and lens must be adjusted so that
the maximum dimension of the arena nearly fills the long dimension of the
video image while ensuring that all other parts of the arena are within the
video image as well.
1 If the arena image is too small, move the camera closer to the arena (outside
of the near limit) or adjust the zoom ring towards the T (telephoto). Then
adjust the lens focus ring until the video image is clear, if possible.
2 If the arena image is too large, move the camera away from the arena (within
the physical limits of the environment) or adjust zoom ring towards the W
(Wide Angle). Then adjust the lens focus ring until the image is clear, if
possible.
3 Contact Plexon support if the arena cannot be adjusted to fill the video
window.
