line, depending on conditions. To do so simply press the
Brightness Key and raise or lower the brightness
level using the Arrow Key
when done.
Image Rotation
While doing an inspection the camera may become ro-
tated in the line and present an inverted image. If you are
using a DVDPak with a 5.7" LCD display, the Flip Key
will rotate the image on the screen (flip it vertically)
for easier viewing. (This feature is not supported on
the 4.3" OLED display.) The recorder will capture the
image as it is displayed.
CountPlus Control
If you are using a SeeSnake reel equipped with the
CountPlus distance counter, the measured distance will
appear on the DVDPak display. If you want to set an in-
terim zero-point to measure distance from some loca-
tion (such as a junction or pipe-head) pressing the
DVDPak Zero Key will start a temporary distance
count, with the number displayed in square brackets
[0.0]. A second short press will return to the main count.
A long press (3 seconds) will re-zero the main distance
counter.
For details on using the CountPlus see the CountPlus
manual. CountPlus parameters such as date and time are
set using the CountPlus menu key and going to the
CountPlus Tools menu. CountPlus text overlays are man-
aged with the CountPlus keypad as described in the
CountPlus Operator's Manual.
