Syntax

INT is_SetBlCompensation (HIDS hCam, INT nEnable, INT offset, INT reserved)

Description

hint_info

This function is obsolete and should not be used anymore. We recommend to use the is_Blacklevel() function instead.

is_SetBlCompensation() enables the black level correction function which might improve the image quality under certain circumstances. By default, the sensor adjusts the black level value for each pixel automatically. If the environment is very bright, it can be necessary to adjust the black level manually by the offset parameter.

UI-112x/UI-512x only: On models with HDR sensor the function is_SetBlCompensation() controls the black level when a contrast adjustment is performed.
