Properties

The properties that tcamdutils will offer depend on the currently used conversion. Changing the input/output formats will potentially change the available properties. Many will only be available once the state is set to PLAYING.

If your camera has an internal implementation of a property, e.g. ‘Exposure Auto’, then tcamdutils will not offer the property and disable the internal algorithms for said property.

Below is a table of all available properties:

tcamdutils tcamprop properties
Name Description
Exposure Auto Automatic Adjustments of Exposure
Exposure Min Minimum Value Exposure Auto may set
Exposure Max Maximum Value Exposure Auto may set
Gain Auto Automatic Adjustments of Gain
Iris Auto Automatic Adjustments of Iris
Focus Auto Adjust focus property until image is considered focused
Highlight Reduction  
Exposure Auto Reference Average Brightness the image should have
Whitebalance Enable/Disable application of whitebalance values
Whitebalance Auto Automatically and continually determine correct whitebalance values
Whitebalance One Push Determine whitebalance values once
Whitebalance Red Whitebalance value for the red channel
Whitebalance Green Whitebalance value for the green channel
Whitebalance Blue Whitebalance value for the blue channel
Brightness  
Noise Reduction Reduces noise in the image
Sharpness Change edge contrast
Saturation Change color intensity
Tonemapping Enable HDR
Tonemapping Global Brightness  
Tonemapping Intensity  
Contrast  
Hue
